IVSGround introduces a lightweight view selector that learns to choose the most informative camera views for vision‑language model (VLM) based 3D visual grounding, replacing heuristic view selection. The selector is trained via a two‑stage rejection sampling process that uses feedback from a reasoning VLM to generate supervision signals. Experiments on ScanRefer and NR3D demonstrate that IVSGround consistently improves grounding accuracy over existing zero‑shot pipelines, underscoring the importance of selecting where to look for effective 3D visual grounding.

Recent advancements in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled language-guided scene understanding. However, existing Referring 3D Gaussian Splatting (R3DGS) methods are fundamentally restricted to single-target queries.
