The paper introduces ORMOT, a new task that extends Referring Multi‑Object Tracking to omnidirectional 360° imagery, ensuring full scene context for language‑guided tracking. It presents ORSet, a dataset of 27 omnidirectional scenes with 848 language descriptions and 3,401 annotated objects, and introduces ORTrack, an LVLM‑driven framework that performs zero‑shot detection and robust cross‑frame association. Experiments on ORSet show that ORTrack achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, establishing a strong baseline for future research.

DepthEvidence is a 4B multimodal language model that integrates dense metric depth predictions into language generation. It employs a camera‑conditioned decoder to produce full‑resolution depth maps and a dense‑to‑language interface that converts these predictions into object‑aligned geometry tokens. The model is trained with geometric supervision and instruction tuning, and it sets new state‑of‑the‑art results on a Depth‑VQA benchmark and on instance‑level metric depth estimation across nine datasets.

LangMap introduces a human‑verified benchmark for language‑conditioned goal navigation (LGN) that spans four hierarchical semantic levels—scene, room, region, and instance—within real‑world indoor 3D scans. The dataset, built on HM3D, contains 18K tasks with concise and detailed descriptions for 414 object categories, and its contrastive annotation protocol ensures high‑quality, discriminative region and instance labels. Evaluation shows that LangMap’s descriptions improve text‑to‑view matching accuracy by 23 points over GOAT‑Bench and achieve a 92.5% unique‑and‑correct match rate in an independent human audit, while a proposed RGB‑only baseline, PlaNaVid, attains top‑tier success rates without depth or 3D scene representations.
