SpaceEra++: ビデオにおける3次元空間推論のための統合フレームワーク

原文アブストラクト

Visual-spatial understanding, defined as the ability to infer object relationships and scene layouts from visual inputs, is fundamental to downstream tasks such as robotic navigation and embodied interaction. However, pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs) remain constrained by spatial uncertainty stemming from inherently 2D observations and by the scarcity of data for 3D spatial understanding. To address these limitations, we proposed a novel framework, SpaceEra, in the NeurIPS 2025 Spotlight paper. Although it achieved significant performance gains, we further observed that its effectiveness is hindered by insufficient input from scanning videos and weak reasoning constraints. To tackle these newly emerged challenges, we extend the original framework into a comprehensive system, termed SpaceEra++, which spans data construction, model design, training optimization, and prompting inference. Specifically, to alleviate input insufficiency, we introduce ScenePick, a frame sampling strategy that balances spatial coverage with object semantics to produce compact yet comprehensive scene representations. In addition, to enhance spatial reasoning, we develop SpaceAlign, which enforces pairwise object constraints by jointly exploiting absolute coordinates and relative spatial relations, thereby aligning optimization with spatial accuracy. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements over strong baselines, while ablation studies validate both the individual and joint contributions of each component, and further analyses provide guidance for future research.
