arXiv:2608. 16285v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio-Visual Segmentation (AVS) is a fundamental task in multimodal perception that performs pixel-level segmentation of sounding objects in videos by leveraging both visual and audio cues.
FloorSAV is a framework that enhances audio‑visual large language models (AV‑LLMs) by embedding a dynamic 2D floormap derived from 3D point clouds, camera trajectories, spatial audio cues, and object landmarks. The floormap is fed into the AV‑LLM as a synchronized stream with egocentric video, enabling the model to jointly reason over visual, auditory, and geometric information in a single inference. The authors also introduce SAVED‑Bench, a benchmark for spatial reasoning tasks, and show that FloorSAV improves AV‑LLM performance on both SAVED‑Bench and SAVVY‑Bench, with ground‑truth floormaps highlighting its potential.
BinauralVAE is an open‑source pipeline that reconstructs spatial audio using various Variational Autoencoder architectures, including complex‑valued variants, to learn latent representations of binaural signals. The project builds on realistic acoustic data from a simulated robot navigating an environment, providing a foundation for audio‑centric world models. It aims to map the causal link between navigational actions and their acoustic outcomes, positioning sound as a complementary modality for spatial awareness.
