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 PointPiT, a partition‑invariant tuning framework designed for scene‑level point cloud understanding. It combines a Scene‑aware Structural Adapter (SSA) that fuses local geometry with global context, and Gradient Subspace Optimization (GSO) that selects stable update directions to reduce partition‑induced representation shifts. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that PointPiT matches or surpasses full fine‑tuning while using less than 1% of the backbone’s parameters, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance among parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning methods.

3D-SceneQ is a new 3D large language model that tackles two key limitations of existing 3D scene understanding pipelines: the inclusion of irrelevant object tokens that add noise, and the exclusive use of point cloud data that lacks rich semantic cues. It introduces a Query‑Guided Adaptive Pruning (QGAP) module that selectively keeps task‑relevant objects based on user instructions, and a Multi‑modal Object‑level Feature Enhancement (MOFE) module that fuses 2D feature embeddings into the 3D representation to enrich semantic information. Experiments show that 3D‑SceneQ surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods on several benchmarks, achieving significant gains in metrics such as CIDEr and EM@1.
