The paper introduces Segmentation-Based Attention Entropy (SAE), a method that uses semantic segmentation to measure visual attention uncertainty in large vision‑language models (LVLMs). SAE provides a reliability score for detecting hallucinated objects and an attention‑adjustment technique that reduces hallucinations during inference. Experiments on public benchmarks and real quadruped robot scenarios demonstrate that SAE improves LVLM reliability without requiring additional training.

The paper introduces the concept of multi-view hallucination (MVH), where large vision-language models produce incorrect answers when processing images from multiple viewpoints. It presents MVH-Bench, a benchmark of 4.8k question-answer pairs that target cross-instance and cross-view hallucinations, and shows that MVH is common across recent models. The authors propose Reference Shift Contrastive Decoding (RSCD), a training-free decoding method that mitigates visual interference, achieving significant performance gains on MVH-Bench with LLaVA-OneVision and Qwen2.5-VL.
