3D vision-language models (3D VLMs) enable spatial reasoning over multi-view scenes but suffer from substantial token redundancy due to duplicated observations and large uninformative regions, leading to high computational cost. Although visual token compression has shown promise in accelerating 2D VLMs, it fails to capture the structured nature of 3D scenes and leads to incomplete spatial coverage and loss of fine-grained details.

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.

The paper introduces TTL‑SR, a geometry‑aware Test‑Time Learning framework designed to improve quantitative spatial reasoning in visual‑language models. By augmenting queries with geometrically coupled auxiliary prompts, filtering unreliable predictions, and updating models with a geometry‑aware multi‑objective loss on unlabeled test data, TTL‑SR adapts models to new domains without additional 3D supervision. Experiments show substantial accuracy gains on the Q‑Spatial‑ScanNet dataset for two state‑of‑the‑art VLMs.
