MV-STRIDE is a Multi‑View hierarchical Spatial Reasoning dataset that models dependencies among perception, scene understanding, and contextual reasoning to support 3D spatial cognition. It introduces a QA generation pipeline that enforces cross‑view constraints, producing multi‑level reasoning tasks with chain‑of‑thought supervision. Experiments show that training on MV‑STRIDE yields state‑of‑the‑art performance on multi‑view spatial benchmarks, enabling MLLMs to reason robustly across diverse viewpoints.

Although multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress, understanding 3D spatial relationships from 2D images remains a critical challenge. Existing methods primarily rely on symbolic text tokens, which inherently lack the fidelity to represent continuous geometric information.
The paper introduces Vantage, a training‑free, model‑agnostic framework that pairs a vision‑language model with a 3D foundation model to perform Seek‑and‑View reasoning for multi‑view spatial understanding. Vantage first analyzes a question to plan a relevant viewpoint, then augments reasoning with geometry‑grounded visual evidence from that viewpoint. Experiments across six VLMs on five benchmarks show consistent improvements without fine‑tuning, demonstrating that revealing spatial evidence through view‑grounded reasoning reduces reliance on language‑based cross‑view alignment.
