Geometry-Aligned Semantic Matching for Cross-Modal Planar Image Registration proposes CDPM, a method that first aligns semantic representations across modalities and then refines correspondences with fine-grained CNN features. CDPM adapts DINOv3 using geometrically consistent cross-modal patch pairs, builds a DINO-Centric Feature Pyramid for stable cross-modal matching, and adds a lightweight CNN branch for precise local refinement. Experiments on three cross-modal datasets show that CDPM outperforms existing dense matchers, improving AUC metrics and reducing mACE while using fewer FLOPs.

GoDeep is an annotation‑free method for open‑vocabulary 3D scene understanding that uses a vision‑language model solely as a translator to generate structured, entity‑level descriptions of each image. These descriptions are projected and aggregated in a language‑only embedding space, eliminating the need for a 3D training corpus or domain‑specific encoder. The approach achieves competitive performance on ScanNet++ and a cultural heritage benchmark, accurately localizes out‑of‑vocabulary objects, and offers explainable, point‑level predictions.

TokenMatch is a transformer-based model that estimates 3D shape correspondences by adaptively tokenising meshes into curvature-guided patches. Trained only on the BeCoS partial-to-partial dataset, it generalises to full-shape matching without retraining, using self‑ and cross‑attention to learn patch‑ and point‑level relations. Evaluated on CP2P, PSMAL, BeCoS, FAUST, SCAPE, and SHREC'19, TokenMatch consistently outperforms existing methods in mean geodesic error and intersection‑over‑union while achieving sub‑second inference speeds.
