VoxProg: 3D Spatial Reasoning through Voxel Programming

VoxProg introduces voxel programming for 3D spatial reasoning, enabling language models to translate task interpretations into executable programs that operate on local voxel views of scene surfaces. By indexing surface geometry on regular grids, the approach isolates task-relevant regions and boundaries, allowing downstream pose programs to compute target SE(3) poses. The method is evaluated on the 71-task VoxProg-Bench benchmark, showing consistent superiority over relation-based, keypoint-based, and mesh-based baselines.

GraFT: A Training-Free Framework for Spatial Reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models via 3D Scene Graphs

GraFT is a training‑free framework that enhances spatial reasoning in multimodal large language models by integrating a compact 3D scene graph (3DSG). It offers deterministic geometry via symbolic tools, allocentric layout through bird’s‑eye‑view rendering, and visual‑attribute grounding using egocentric frames. Experiments on ScanQA and VSI‑Bench show significant performance gains, with CIDEr increasing by 27% and improvements up to 65% over baseline models.

HERMES++: Toward a Unified Driving World Model for 3D Scene Understanding and Generation

HERMES++ is a unified driving world model that simultaneously performs 3D scene understanding and future geometry prediction. It uses a BEV representation to merge multi‑view spatial data for LLM compatibility, introduces LLM‑enhanced world queries for knowledge transfer, and employs a Current‑to‑Future Link to condition future geometry on semantic context. A Joint Geometric Optimization strategy enforces structural integrity by combining explicit geometric constraints with implicit latent regularization, and extensive benchmark tests show that HERMES++ outperforms specialist methods in both point cloud prediction and scene understanding.

Object-Uni: A Unified Model for Object-Centric Spatial Understanding and Controllable Generation

Object-Uni is a unified model that integrates pose perception, spatial reasoning, pose-conditioned generation, and novel view synthesis for object-centric spatial understanding and controllable image generation. It treats object pose as an explicit geometric variable shared across tasks and introduces a viewpoint-based orientation abstraction to make pose interpretable by multimodal large language models. The authors also create a new benchmark, UniSpatial-80K, and demonstrate that Object‑Uni improves both pose understanding and pose‑controllable generation compared to existing models.
