LangFlash introduces a feed-forward framework that generates 3D language-grounded Gaussian splatting from sparse, unposed multi-view images, unifying geometry, appearance, and open-vocabulary semantic features. The method achieves 0.7416 mIoU on ScanNet target views for open-vocabulary segmentation and reconstructs scenes in 180 milliseconds.

Key insights

  • A unified feed-forward framework for geometry, appearance, and open-vocabulary semantics can achieve real-time, generalizable 3D scene understanding from sparse inputs.
  • Robust semantic grouping can be maintained even with imperfect geometry from feed-forward Gaussian models by processing multi-view features and querying scene structure.
  • Encoding fine-grained semantic information into a compact, global dictionary with learnable per-primitive weights offers an efficient way to represent and render language-aligned semantics in 3D.
