CoverPrune: Coverage-Driven Token Pruning for 3D VLMs via Optimal Transport

While 3D Vision-Language Models (3D VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable spatial reasoning capabilities, they suffer from massive visual token counts that create severe computational bottlenecks during inference. Existing token pruning methods primarily rely on diversity-based selection, discarding similar tokens to maximize dispersion.

HiSC: Hierarchical Spatial Clustering Token Compression for Efficient 3D Scene Understanding

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.
