The paper introduces Domain Parent Grouping (DPG), a sensor‑grounded method that forms perceptual units directly from raw measurements without relying on semantic priors. DPG operates across three domains—local luminance, direct chromatic, and contextual chromatic—creating spatially connected groups that overlap across domains, thus producing a non‑exclusive grouping representation. Experiments on the BSDS500 dataset show that DPG’s groups align with low‑level image structure and correlate with human‑annotated regions and boundaries.
Hierarchical 3D scene graphs are a promising representation for high-level spatial reasoning in autonomous mobile platforms. However, existing extraction frameworks typically rely on purely local visual clustering or strict geometric heuristics, such as wall-separated rooms, which fail in open-plan or arbitrarily-structured environments.
The paper introduces GeoSim, a four‑level framework for analyzing how vision‑language models (VLMs) represent low‑level vision tasks. It evaluates hidden‑layer representations across 24 tasks and two VLM paradigms—autoregressive models and diffusion transformers—using global similarity, local geometry, sparse feature decomposition, and topological verification. The study uncovers the organizing principles of low‑level visual representations and highlights their limitations in cross‑task and cross‑model agreement, offering an interpretability lens for assessing latent transferability and diagnosing model‑specific issues.
