• Abstract summary: We propose a model for grounding language in 3D scenes with three main innovations. Iterative attention across the language stream, the point cloud feature stream and 3D box proposals. Joint supervision from 3D object annotations and language grounding annotations. When applied on language grounding on 2D images with minor changes, it performs on par with the state-of-the-art while converges in half of the GPU time.

• Abstract: Existing language grounding models often use object proposal bottlenecks: a pre-trained detector proposes objects in the scene and the model learns to select the answer from these box proposals, without attending to the original image or 3D point cloud. Object detectors are typically trained on a fixed vocabulary of objects and attributes that is often too restrictive for open-domain language grounding, where an utterance may refer to visual entities at various levels of abstraction, such as a chair, the leg of a chair, or the tip of the front leg of a chair. We propose a model for grounding language in 3D scenes that bypasses box proposal bottlenecks with three main innovations: i) Iterative attention across the language stream, the point cloud feature stream and 3D box proposals. ii) Transformer decoders with non-parametric entity queries that decode 3D boxes for object and part referentials. iii) Joint supervision from 3D object annotations and language grounding annotations, by treating object detection as grounding of referential utterances comprised of a list of candidate category labels. These innovations result in significant quantitative gains (up to +9% absolute improvement on the SR3D benchmark) over previous approaches on popular 3D language grounding benchmarks. We ablate each of our innovations to show its contribution to the performance of the model. When applied on language grounding on 2D images with minor changes, it performs on par with the state-of-the-art while converges in half of the GPU time. The code and checkpoints will be made available at https://github.com/nickgkan/beauty_detr

  We propose Grounded 3D-LLM to consolidate various 3D vision tasks within a unified generative framework. The model uses scene referent tokens as special noun phrases to reference 3D scenes. It offers a natural approach for translating 3D vision tasks into language formats using task-specific instruction templates.

  Point cloud-based open-vocabulary 3D object detection aims to detect 3D categories that do not have ground-truth annotations in the training set. Previous approaches leverage large-scale richly-annotated image datasets as a bridge between 3D and category semantics. We propose Object2Scene, the first approach that leverages large-scale large-vocabulary 3D object datasets to augment existing 3D scene datasets for open-vocabulary 3D object detection.

  Localizing objects in 3D scenes according to the semantics of a given natural language is a fundamental yet important task in the field of multimedia understanding. We introduce 3D Dense Object Grounding (3D DOG), to jointly localize multiple objects described in a more complicated paragraph rather than a single sentence. Our proposed 3DOGSFormer outperforms state-of-the-art 3D single-object grounding methods and their dense-object variants by significant margins.

  3D visual grounding involves finding a target object in a 3D scene that corresponds to a given sentence query. We propose to leverage weakly supervised annotations to learn the 3D visual grounding model. We design a novel semantic matching model that analyzes the semantic similarity between object proposals and sentences in a coarse-to-fine manner.
