幾何学的報酬クレジット割当によるPoint-VLMの3D理解の強化

原文アブストラクト

Point-Vision-Language Models promise to empower embodied agents with executable spatial reasoning, yet they frequently succumb to geometric hallucination where predicted 3D structures contradict the observed 2D reality. We identify a key cause of this failure not as a representation bottleneck but as a structural misalignment in reinforcement learning, where sparse geometric tokens are drowned out by noisy and broadcasted sequence-level rewards. To resolve this causal dilution, we propose Geometric Reward Credit Assignment, a framework that disentangles holistic supervision into field-specific signals and routes them exclusively to their responsible token spans. This mechanism transforms vague feedback into precise gradient updates and effectively turns generic policy optimization into targeted structural alignment. Furthermore, we internalize physical constraints via a Reprojection-Consistency term which serves as a cross-modal verifier to penalize physically impossible geometries. Validated on a calibrated benchmark derived from ShapeNetCore, our approach bridges the reliability gap by boosting 3D KPA from 0.64 to 0.93, increasing 3D bounding box intersection over union to 0.686, and raising reprojection consistency scores to 0.852. Crucially, these gains are achieved while maintaining robust 2D localization performance, marking a meaningful step from plausible textual outputs toward physically verifiable spatial predictions.
