PePESeg3D introduces perception priors into a multi‑scale 3D Gaussian segmentation pipeline, integrating monocular depth and mask constraints during geometry reconstruction and dense depth‑color cues with view‑consistent centroid supervision during contrastive feature learning. This dual‑stage approach aligns geometry with semantic structure and compensates for incomplete mask supervision from 2D foundation models. Experiments on SPIn‑NeRF, LERF‑Mask, and NVOS benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art performance in both multi‑scale segmentation and scene reconstruction.

The paper introduces 3D Morphological Perturbations, an optimization‑free regularizer for 3D representations such as NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting. By treating each Gaussian as a pixel‑like element, the method applies scale, rotation, and pruning perturbations to preserve spatial consistency across views, eliminating the need for per‑scene optimization during dataset curation. Experiments on a lightweight video diffusion sandbox and a 14B‑parameter video model show that the approach improves geometric priors, reduces mean depth error by 12.5% over state‑of‑the‑art 3D artifact refiners, and boosts downstream robotics policy success rates by up to 8.0% on three manipulation tasks.
PointGauss is a 3D-native framework that performs semantic parsing and instance segmentation on 3D Gaussian splatting representations by treating Gaussian primitives as unstructured point sets and extracting scale‑invariant geometric features with Point Transformer V3. It introduces an adaptive region‑of‑interest cropping strategy and an instance‑aware distance‑constrained rasterization pipeline to enable scalable, view‑consistent pixel‑level projections. The authors also release SplatSeg‑360, a cross‑scale benchmark with 32 complex scenes and over 6,300 aligned 2D‑3D masks, and show that PointGauss achieves real‑time performance with state‑of‑the‑art 3D‑mIoU (~90%) and 2D‑mIoU (~80%) scores.

The paper introduces Epipolar Distillation (EpiDistill), a method that transfers scale‑aware geometric priors from multi‑view models to monocular depth foundation models using Rectified Stereo Tokens. By preserving epipolar attention patterns, the single‑view model maintains geometric consistency without needing multi‑view inputs during inference. Experiments show significant improvements in zero‑shot metric depth estimation on challenging datasets such as ETH3D and DIODE, and the approach consistently boosts performance of state‑of‑the‑art ViT‑based models like UniDepthV2 and DepthPro.

The paper introduces a structure‑aware merging pipeline that consolidates per‑pixel 3D Gaussian primitives from any feed‑forward reconstruction method into a compact, content‑adaptive Gaussian set. By grouping spatially coherent Gaussians with adaptive superpixel segmentation guided by a saliency map, compressing clusters via a learned encoder, and merging representations across views using geometric overlap and feature similarity, the method reduces the number of Gaussians to about one‑twentieth of the original while preserving visual quality. A level‑of‑detail decoder allows controllable resolution, and the pipeline operates as a backbone‑agnostic post‑processing module, improving robustness and rendering efficiency.
