ViCo-SAM3 introduces a Vision-Conditioned alignment framework for open-vocabulary camouflaged object segmentation. The approach adds a vision-conditioned (ViCo) module that dynamically adjusts text embeddings based on global visual context, and a vision-conditioned cross-modal binding (ViCoBind) module to improve interaction between visual and textual representations. These innovations close the semantic gap between text and pixel-level cues, enabling state‑of‑the‑art performance on the OVCamo benchmark without heavy parameter overhead.

TRACKGRAPH is an online open‑vocabulary 3D mapping system that tracks 2D masks in the image stream before fusing them into a class‑agnostic 3D segment layer within a hierarchical scene graph. It uses FastSAM and CLIP for sparse keyframes, DINOv3 for dense mask propagation, and compact multi‑view CLIP embeddings for open‑vocabulary retrieval. The method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art mapping techniques on Replica, ScanNet++, and HM3D, achieving higher synonym frequency, faster processing, and lower GPU memory usage, and has been deployed on quadruped robots and drones at real‑time rates.
