Dive into the Scene: Breaking the Perceptual Bottleneck in Vision-Language Decision Making via Focus Plan Generation

Researchers introduce SceneDiver, a new method that improves Vision-Language Models and Vision-Language-Action Models by reducing visual hallucinations through progressive scene understanding and focus planning. The approach uses a coarse-to-fine strategy to help AI systems distinguish task-relevant objects from distractors, with applications in robotic manipulation and navigation tasks.

Vid-LLM: A Compact Video-based 3D Multimodal LLM with Reconstruction-Reasoning Synergy

Researchers propose Vid-LLM, a new video-based 3D multimodal large language model that processes video inputs without requiring external 3D data for scene understanding. The model uses a Cross-Task Adapter module and Metric Depth Model to integrate geometric cues and maintain consistency across 3D tasks like question answering and visual grounding.

From Sounds to Scenes: A Benchmark for Evaluating Context-Aware Auditory Scene Understanding in Large Audio Language Models

Researchers introduce CASU, a new benchmark for evaluating Large Audio Language Models' ability to understand complex auditory scenes by integrating multiple acoustic layers—speech, sound events, and background environments—rather than processing them in isolation. The benchmark reveals that current LALMs struggle with holistic scene comprehension and require integration across all audio layers for effective real-world audio understanding.

From USD Scenes to Knowledge Graphs: Zero-Shot Ontology Grounding with LLMs

Researchers demonstrate that large language models can automate the grounding of 3D scene objects to formal ontology classes without training, achieving 90-96% accuracy on kitchen scenes. This zero-shot approach eliminates reliance on brittle, manually curated dictionaries and represents a significant advance in knowledge graph construction for robotic task reasoning.

SCOUT: Semantic scene COverage via Uncertainty-guided Traversal

SCOUT is an online semantic exploration framework that enables robots to actively understand indoor environments by coupling real-time scene graph construction with uncertainty-guided traversal planning. The system builds 3D scene graphs with probabilistic object labels and structural relations, then uses uncertainty metrics to decide where robots should explore next, treating semantic scene completion as an operational objective rather than a passive mapping byproduct.

Feature-Optimized Vision for Adaptive 3D Scene Reconstruction

Researchers propose an adaptive feature-selection system for 3D scene reconstruction that intelligently prioritizes visual data based on texture, repeatability, and geometric utility rather than using fixed thresholds. The method demonstrates improved reconstruction quality and computational efficiency across diverse scene types compared to baseline approaches, offering a modular enhancement for both classical and neural reconstruction pipelines.

Can Segmentation Models Understand the World? Towards Proactive Affordance Reasoning via Visual Chain-of-Thought

Researchers introduce SegWorld, a segmentation model that uses visual chain-of-thought reasoning to understand scenes and segment object parts based on high-level intent rather than explicit target descriptions. The model proactively observes scenes, infers affordances, and maps user instructions to specific physical interaction points, outperforming baselines on intent-level tasks while matching them on traditional target-referential instructions.
