arXiv:2510. 01483v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate strong image-level scene understanding, but reasoning over long egocentric video remains costly: because VLMs maintain no persistent memory or explicit spatial representation, all sampled frames must be re-processed for every new query.

Hierarchical 3D scene graphs are a promising representation for high-level spatial reasoning in autonomous mobile platforms. However, existing extraction frameworks typically rely on purely local visual clustering or strict geometric heuristics, such as wall-separated rooms, which fail in open-plan or arbitrarily-structured environments.
CoRef-GS introduces a cooperative referring Gaussian splatting framework for multi‑agent scene understanding, enabling robots to ground object‑ and relation‑centric language queries across independently reconstructed maps. The method builds local open‑vocabulary instance‑aware Gaussian maps, aligns them using a cross‑agent module that enforces geometric and semantic consistency, and grounds queries with a view‑conditioned mask relation graph. Experiments on a new dual‑quadruped benchmark show significant improvements, reducing rotation error from 2.58° to 0.15° and raising real‑world referring mIoU from 52.6% to 68.8%.

LucidLyra is a framework that reconstructs 3D scenes from video latents in a feed‑forward manner while simultaneously providing open‑vocabulary semantics and instance cues. By distilling knowledge from a camera‑controlled video diffusion model and frozen 2D vision foundation models, it jointly infers 3D Gaussians that encode geometry, appearance, and semantic information without requiring per‑scene optimization or manual 3D annotations. The resulting scenes support novel‑view rendering, open‑vocabulary segmentation, and object grouping, and can be extended to monocular video for dynamic 3D reconstruction.
