OnlinePG introduces a system for real-time open-vocabulary panoptic mapping, leveraging 3D Gaussian Splatting and a local-to-global paradigm to create consistent 3D instance maps from noisy 2D vision-language model outputs. It achieves approximately 13.8 mIoU and 11.5 mAcc improvement over prior online methods on ScanNetV2 and operates at 10-18 frames per second.

Key insights

  • Integrating 3D Gaussian Splatting with fine-grained, grid-based spatial attributes offers an efficient and scalable way to represent and incrementally update both geometric and rich semantic/instance information in real-time.
  • A local-to-global processing strategy, coupled with multi-cue segment clustering, is effective in consolidating noisy 2D VLM predictions into coherent and consistent 3D panoptic instances for online applications.
  • Bidirectional bipartite matching provides a robust mechanism for fusing local instance maps into the global map, ensuring accurate correspondences and preventing feature drift and inconsistencies over time.
