LLaVA³: Representing 3D Scenes Like a Cubist Painter to Boost 3D Scene Understanding of VLMs

AAAI 2026technical

Developing a multi-modal language model capable of understanding 3D scenes remains challenging due to the limited availability of 3D training data, in contrast to the abundance of 2D datasets used for vision-language models (VLMs). As an alternative, we introduce LLaVA³ (pronounced LLaVA Cube), a no

Corr2Distrib: Making Ambiguous Correspondences an Ally to Predict Reliable 6D Pose Distributions

RA-L 2025

We introduce Corr2Distrib, the first correspondence-based method which estimates a 6D camera pose distribution from an RGB image, explaining the observations. Indeed, symmetries and occlusions introduce visual ambiguities, leading to multiple valid poses. While a few recent methods tackle this probl

DiSCO-3D : Discovering and Segmenting Sub-Concepts from Open-vocabulary Queries in NeRF

ICCV 2025poster

3D semantic segmentation provides high-level scene understanding for applications in robotics, autonomous systems, etc. Traditional methods adapt exclusively to either task-specific goals (open-vocabulary segmentation) or scene content (unsupervised semantic segmentation). We propose DiSCO-3D, the f…

Introducing CEA-IMSOLD: an Industrial Multi-Scale Object Localization Dataset

ICRA 2024poster

We introduce the CEA Industrial Multi-Scale Object Localization Dataset (CEA-IMSOLD), a new BOP format dataset for 6-DoF object localization, crucial for robotics. This dataset aims to evaluate the current localization methods with respect to a new difficulty: large variations in observation distanc…

Large Scale Mapping of Indoor Magnetic Field by Local and Sparse Gaussian Processes

CoRL 2024poster

Magnetometer-based indoor navigation uses variations in the magnetic field to determine the robot's location. For that, a magnetic map of the environment has to be built beforehand from a collection of localized magnetic measurements. Existing solutions built on sparse Gaussian Process (GP) regressi…

RING-NeRF : Rethinking Inductive Biases for Versatile and Efficient Neural Fields

ECCV 2024poster

"Recent advances in Neural Fields mostly rely on developing task-specific supervision which often complicates the models. Rather than developing hard-to-combine and specific modules, another approach generally overlooked is to directly inject generic priors on the scene representation (also called i…

MagHT: A Magnetic Hough Transform for Fast Indoor Place Recognition

IROS 2023poster

This article proposes a novel indoor magnetic field-based place recognition algorithm that is accurate and fast to compute. For that, we modified the generalized “Hough Transform” to process magnetic data (MagHT). It takes as input a sequence of magnetic measures whose relative positions are recover…

Large-scale, drift-free SLAM using highly robustified building model constraints

IROS 2017poster

Constrained key-frame based local bundle adjustment is at the core of many recent systems that address the problem of large-scale, georeferenced SLAM based on a monocular camera and on data from inexpensive sensors and/or databases. The majority of these methods, however, impose constraints that res…

Generic edgelet-based tracking of 3D objects in real-time

IROS 2015poster

This paper addresses the challenging issue of real-time camera localization relative to any object that have texture or not, sharp edges or occluding contours. 3D contour points, dynamically extracted from a CAD model by Analysis-by-Synthesis on the graphics hardware, are combined with a keyframe-ba…
