Generative Semantic Scene Completion

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces Generative Semantic Scene Completion (GSSC), a framework that recasts outdoor LiDAR semantic scene completion as a discrete diffusion process. It comprises three components: (1) paired sparse‑dense scene synthesis (PS³) to generate synthetic training data, (2) semantic‑guided generative scene completion (SGSC) that generates scenes from noise conditioned on sparse scans, and (3) structured source discrete diffusion (S²D²) that refines existing completions in a single flow‑matching step. Using this approach, the authors achieve state‑of‑the‑art performance on the SemanticKITTI benchmark, reaching 38.8% mIoU in a single‑sweep, single‑sample setting and 39.2% with limited augmentation.

VOIM: Training-Free Open-Vocabulary 3D Instance Mapping for RGB-D and Monocular SLAM

VOIM (Voxel‑Grounded Online Instance Manager) is a training‑free system that builds open‑vocabulary 3D instance maps from RGB‑D or monocular RGB input by deferring label and instance decisions until sufficient soft evidence accumulates per voxel across views. Across four perception configurations on ScanNet++, VOIM outperforms the strongest online RGB‑D system, OVO‑SLAM, by 4.8–11.7 mIoU, and achieves 44.07 mIoU under a like‑for‑like protocol, winning all ten scenes. The method also runs unchanged on monocular RGB, matching baseline performance on Replica, and produces exportable occupancy grids that support free‑form instance queries.
