VoxelFix: Post-Hoc Semantic Correction of Completed 3D Voxel Maps

VoxelFix is a graph‑based post‑hoc semantic correction method that refines voxel labels in completed 3D voxel maps while preserving their geometry and occupancy. It learns to correct errors by exploiting local geometry and neighboring semantic information, using training pairs generated by corrupting annotated maps with class confusions from upstream perception pipelines. Experiments on OccuFly maps show consistent improvements of 4.23–5.00 percentage points in mIoU, especially for tree, roof, and wall classes, and the method generalizes to out‑of‑distribution aerial scenes.

AREA3D: Active Reconstruction Agent with Unified Feed-Forward 3D Perception and Vision-Language Guidance

arXiv:2512. 05131v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Active 3D reconstruction enables an agent to autonomously select viewpoints to efficiently obtain accurate and complete scene geometry, rather than passively reconstructing scenes from pre-collected images.

NeuDonatello: Uncertainty-Aware Framework for Accurate Neural SDF Learning

NeuDonatello is a new framework for neural signed distance function (SDF) learning that explicitly models spatially varying uncertainty using Monte Carlo sampling. By incorporating this uncertainty into an adaptive regularization scheme and an uncertainty-aware SDF-to-density conversion, the method selectively strengthens geometric constraints where RGB supervision is unreliable, thereby improving surface reconstruction accuracy. Experiments show that NeuDonatello achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on diverse scenes using only posed RGB images.

MVP-Nav: Multi-layer Value Map Planner Navigator

arXiv:2606. 31919v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Zero-shot Object Goal Navigation (ZSON) with RGB-only perception poses a fundamental challenge for embodied agents, as the absence of explicit depth information introduces severe physical uncertainty and semantic-physical misalignment.

Adaptive World Memory 3D Foundation Model for Scalable 3D Mapping, Localization, and Rendering

The paper introduces Adaptive World Memory 3D Foundation Model (AWM-3DFM), a memory‑centric 3D foundation model that scales to large‑scale robotic localization, reconstruction, and Gaussian rendering. It employs transformer‑based gated updates, test‑time temporal‑spatial regulation, and local submap organization to maintain persistent memory, accuracy, and consistency across long image sequences. A Gaussian reconstruction head unifies pose estimation, dense point‑cloud reconstruction, and photorealistic rendering, achieving superior trajectory accuracy, reconstruction completeness, and rendering quality on public benchmarks and diverse robotic datasets.

Generalizable Neural Reconstruction of High-Fidelity Surfaces via Sparse Volumetric Representations

The paper introduces SVRecon, a generalizable neural surface reconstruction framework that uses sparse volumetric representations to achieve high-resolution 3D reconstruction. It employs a two-stage architecture: first predicting occupied voxels with an occupancy network, then rendering only within those regions using specialized sparse algorithms. This approach allows reconstruction at resolutions up to 512³ on 32 GB hardware, producing smoother and more precise surfaces, especially in sparse-view scenarios.
