Open vocabulary 3D scene understanding is essential for next-generation interactive systems, empowering users to intuitively query and navigate reconstructed environments using natural language. However, current 3D Gaussian frameworks are often bottlenecked by restrictive multiview capture requirements, costly scene-specific optimization, and the massive memory overhead of storing dense language features.
ExtrinSplat is a new framework that separates geometry from semantics in 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes. It clusters Gaussians into overlapping 3D object groups and uses a Vision‑Language Model to generate lightweight textual hypotheses, creating an extrinsic index layer that handles complex polysemy. This approach reduces adaptation time from hours to minutes, cuts storage overhead by orders of magnitude, and outperforms existing embedding‑based methods on open‑vocabulary 3D object selection and semantic segmentation benchmarks.
GoDeep is an annotation‑free method for open‑vocabulary 3D scene understanding that uses a vision‑language model solely as a translator to generate structured, entity‑level descriptions of each image. These descriptions are projected and aggregated in a language‑only embedding space, eliminating the need for a 3D training corpus or domain‑specific encoder. The approach achieves competitive performance on ScanNet++ and a cultural heritage benchmark, accurately localizes out‑of‑vocabulary objects, and offers explainable, point‑level predictions.
GaussianDS introduces a depth‑supervised framework for 3D Gaussian Splatting that jointly optimizes RGB appearance, depth, and compact semantics from scratch. By arranging multi‑view images into a pose‑aware pseudo‑video and propagating view‑consistent masks via SAM2, the method aligns semantic lifting with geometric cues, using depth supervision and edge‑aware refinement to curb semantic drift and boundary leakage. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on LERF and 3D‑OVS benchmarks while preserving high‑fidelity reconstruction and enabling downstream tasks such as 3D object removal.

TRACKGRAPH is an online open‑vocabulary 3D mapping system that tracks 2D masks in the image stream before fusing them into a class‑agnostic 3D segment layer within a hierarchical scene graph. It uses FastSAM and CLIP for sparse keyframes, DINOv3 for dense mask propagation, and compact multi‑view CLIP embeddings for open‑vocabulary retrieval. The method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art mapping techniques on Replica, ScanNet++, and HM3D, achieving higher synonym frequency, faster processing, and lower GPU memory usage, and has been deployed on quadruped robots and drones at real‑time rates.

The paper introduces Text-to-Seed (T2S), a training‑free framework for open‑vocabulary semantic segmentation that repurposes Stable Diffusion to generate attention‑based seed points from text queries. These sparse seeds serve as point prompts for the Segment Anything Model (SAM), enabling reliable region expansion without relying on inaccurate coarse masks. T2S achieves strong performance on standard OVSS benchmarks using only the text‑to‑region correspondence of diffusion models and no task‑specific training or extra annotations.
