Vision-language models excel at 2D image understanding but remain limited in 3D spatial reasoning. Progress is hindered by limitations in current benchmarks. First, 3D datasets often rely on point clo...
MV-STRIDE is a Multi‑View hierarchical Spatial Reasoning dataset that models dependencies among perception, scene understanding, and contextual reasoning to support 3D spatial cognition. It introduces a QA generation pipeline that enforces cross‑view constraints, producing multi‑level reasoning tasks with chain‑of‑thought supervision. Experiments show that training on MV‑STRIDE yields state‑of‑the‑art performance on multi‑view spatial benchmarks, enabling MLLMs to reason robustly across diverse viewpoints.

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.
arXiv:2604. 02546v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pretraining 3D encoders through alignment with Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has emerged as a promising direction for learning generalizable representations for 3D scene understanding.

Metric-Bench introduces a new benchmark for Vision‑Language Models (VLMs) that focuses on metric‑spatial reasoning in indoor scenes by using in‑image reference objects with known dimensions. The accompanying MetricReasoner fine‑tuning recipe employs structured prompts and numerical rewards to implicitly learn 2D‑to‑3D mapping without camera intrinsics. Experiments show that this approach improves spatial metric understanding by 43.1 % over existing models and boosts downstream embodied tasks, while also delivering gains on general VLM benchmarks.
