Existing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models typically take 2D images as visual input, which limits their spatial understanding in complex scenes. How can we incorporate 3D information to enhance VLA capabilities? We conduct a pilot study across different observation spaces and visual representation…
Existing feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting methods typically rely on pixel-aligned primitives, which makes scaling to higher resolutions (e.g., 4K) prohibitive as the number of Gaussians grows quadratically with image resolution. We introduce LGTM (Less Gaussians, Texture More), a feed-forward and…
We dream of a future where point clouds from all domains can come together to shape a single model that benefits them all. Toward this goal, we present Utonia, a first step toward training a single self-supervised point transformer encoder across heterogeneous domains, spanning remote sensing, outdo…
Humans learn abstract concepts through multisensory synergy, and once formed, such representations can often be recalled from a single modality. Inspired by this principle, we introduce Concerto, a minimalist simulation of human concept learning for spatial cognition, combining 3D intra-modal self-d…
In this paper, we address conditional testing problems through the conformal inference framework. We define the localized conformal $p$-values by inverting prediction intervals and prove their theoretical properties. These defined $p$-values are then applied to several conditional testing problems t…
We propose LiteReality, a novel pipeline that converts RGB-D scans of indoor environments into compact, realistic, and interactive 3D virtual replicas. LiteReality not only reconstructs scenes that visually resemble reality but also supports key features essential for graphics pipelines, such as obj…
This work explores enabling Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning to link visual cues across multiple images. A straightforward solution is to adapt rule-based reinforcement learning for Vision-Language Models (VLMs). However, such methods typically rely on manually curated question-answer pairs, which c…
In this paper, we question whether we have a reliable self-supervised point cloud model that can be used for diverse 3D tasks via simple linear probing, even with limited data and minimal computation. We find that existing 3D self-supervised learning approaches fall short when evaluated on represent…
The effectiveness of scaling up training data in robotic manipulation is still limited. A primary challenge in manipulation is the tasks are diverse, and the trained policy would be confused if the task targets are not specified clearly. Existing works primarily rely on text instruction to describe…
Utilizing pre-trained 2D large-scale generative models recent works are capable of generating high-quality novel views from a single in-the-wild image. However due to the lack of information from multiple views these works encounter difficulties in generating controllable novel views. In this paper…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have excelled in 2D image-text comprehension and image generation but their understanding of the 3D world is notably deficient limiting progress in 3D language understanding and generation. To solve this problem we introduce GPT4Point an innovative groundbrea…
Self-supervised 3D representation learning aims to learn effective representations from large-scale unlabeled point clouds. Most existing approaches adopt point discrimination as the pretext task which assigns matched points in two distinct views as positive pairs and unmatched points as negative pa…
LiDAR data exhibits significant domain gaps due to variations in sensors, vehicles, and driving environments, creating “language barriers” that limit the effective use of data across domains and the scalability of LiDAR perception models. To address these challenges, we introduce the LiDAR Translato…
A unified and versatile LiDAR segmentation model with strong robustness and generalizability is desirable for safe autonomous driving perception.

The booming of 3D recognition in the 2020s began with the introduction of point cloud transformers. They quickly overwhelmed sparse CNNs and became state-of-the-art models especially in 3D semantic segmentation. However sparse CNNs are still valuable networks due to their efficiency treasure and eas…
"In this work, we introduce OpenIns3D, a new 3D-input-only framework for 3D open-vocabulary scene understanding. The OpenIns3D framework employs a “Mask-Snap-Lookup” scheme. The “Mask” module learns class-agnostic mask proposals in 3D point clouds, the “Snap” module generates synthetic scene-level i…
This paper is not motivated to seek innovation within the attention mechanism. Instead it focuses on overcoming the existing trade-offs between accuracy and efficiency within the context of point cloud processing leveraging the power of scale. Drawing inspiration from recent advances in 3D large-sca…
The rapid advancement of deep learning models is often attributed to their ability to leverage massive training data. In contrast such privilege has not yet fully benefited 3D deep learning mainly due to the limited availability of large-scale 3D datasets. Merging multiple available data sources and…
In the context of autonomous driving the significance of effective feature learning is widely acknowledged. While conventional 3D self-supervised pre-training methods have shown widespread success most methods follow the ideas originally designed for 2D images. In this paper we present UniPAD a nove…
Compressed video quality enhancement has always been a widely concerned research. However, existing methods rarely build models from the consideration of object motion diversity and feature frequency distribution. In this paper, we propose a Spatio-Temporal Decomposition Network (STDN) to reduce the…
Few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) aims to form class-agnostic models segmenting unseen classes with only a handful of annotations. Previous methods limited to the semantic feature and prototype representation suffer from coarse segmentation granularity and train-set overfitting. In this work, we…
3D semantic segmentation on multi-scan large-scale point clouds plays an important role in autonomous systems. Unlike the single-scan-based semantic segmentation task, this task requires distinguishing the motion states of points in addition to their semantic categories. However, methods designed fo…
As a pioneering work, PointContrast conducts unsupervised 3D representation learning via leveraging contrastive learning over raw RGB-D frames and proves its effectiveness on various downstream tasks. However, the trend of large-scale unsupervised learning in 3D has yet to emerge due to two stumblin…
A recent study has shown a phenomenon called neural collapse in that the within-class means of features and the classifier weight vectors converge to the vertices of a simplex equiangular tight frame at the terminal phase of training for classification. In this paper, we explore the corresponding st…
