Researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo, Technical University of Munich, BMW Group, Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML), Obsphera, Google, Tohoku University, and RIKEN introduced a viewpoint-aware 3D referring segmentation benchmark and a viewpoint encoder to enable 3D large multimodal models to understand observer-centric spatial relations. Their method improved segmentation accuracy (mIoU) on viewpoint-dependent instructions from a baseline of 0.0737 to 0.4737 for 3D-LLaVA.

Key insights

  • Explicitly modeling the observer's viewpoint is crucial for 3D LMMs to accurately interpret observer-centric spatial relations in 3D scenes.
  • Existing 3D LMMs, without explicit viewpoint conditioning, perform poorly on tasks requiring viewpoint-dependent spatial reasoning, indicating a significant gap in their understanding.
  • Integrating viewpoint information as a dedicated token via a viewpoint encoder is more effective than providing it as raw text in the prompt or fine-tuning without explicit viewpoint input.
