PointGauss: Point Cloud-Guided Multi-Object Segmentation for Gaussian Splatting

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.

HiSC: Hierarchical Spatial Clustering Token Compression for Efficient 3D Scene Understanding

3D vision-language models (3D VLMs) enable spatial reasoning over multi-view scenes but suffer from substantial token redundancy due to duplicated observations and large uninformative regions, leading to high computational cost. Although visual token compression has shown promise in accelerating 2D VLMs, it fails to capture the structured nature of 3D scenes and leads to incomplete spatial coverage and loss of fine-grained details.

Partition-Invariant Tuning for 3D Scene Understanding

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.
