• Abstract: The abundance and richness of Internet photos of landmarks and cities has led to significant progress in 3D vision over the past two decades, including automated 3D reconstructions of the world's landmarks from tourist photos. However, a major source of information available for these 3D-augmented collections---namely language, e.g., from image captions---has been virtually untapped. In this work, we present WikiScenes, a new, large-scale dataset of landmark photo collections that contains descriptive text in the form of captions and hierarchical category names. WikiScenes forms a new testbed for multimodal reasoning involving images, text, and 3D geometry. We demonstrate the utility of WikiScenes for learning semantic concepts over images and 3D models. Our weakly-supervised framework connects images, 3D structure, and semantics---utilizing the strong constraints provided by 3D geometry---to associate semantic concepts to image pixels and 3D points.

  We present ImageNet3D, a large dataset for general-purpose object-level 3D understanding. ImageNet3D augments 200 categories from the ImageNet dataset with 2D bounding box, 3D pose, 3D location annotations, and image captions interleaved with 3D information. We consider two new tasks, probing of object-level 3D awareness and open vocabulary pose estimation, besides standard classification and pose estimation.

  We present a localization system that connects neural representations of scenes depicting large-scale landmarks with text describing a semantic region within the scene. Our approach is built upon the premise that images physically grounded in space can provide a powerful supervision signal for localizing new concepts. Our results show that HaLo-NeRF can accurately localize a variety of semantic concepts related to architectural landmarks.

  We propose a weakly supervised approach for 3D visual grounding based on Visual Linguistic Alignment. Our 3D-VLA exploits the superior ability of current large-scale vision-language models on aligning the semantics between texts and 2D images. During the inference stage, the learned text-3D correspondence will help us ground the text queries to the 3D target objects even without 2D images.

  We present Uni3D, a 3D foundation model to explore the unified 3D representation at scale. Uni3D uses a 2D ViT end-to-end pretrained to align the 3D point cloud features with the image-text aligned features. We show that the strong Uni3D representation also enables applications such as 3D painting and retrieval in the wild.

  Open-world instance-level scene understanding aims to locate and recognize unseen object categories that are not present in the annotated dataset. This task is challenging because the model needs to both localize novel 3D objects and infer their semantic categories. We propose to harness pre-trained vision-language (VL) foundation models that encode extensive knowledge from image-text pairs to generate captions for 3D scenes.

We propose a novel 3D pre-training Vision-Language method, namely Multi-CLIP, that enables a model to learn language-grounded and transferable 3D scene point cloud representations.
