Researchers have developed a novel framework called UTTO (Uncertainty-Guided Test-Time Optimization) to enhance privacy-preserving 3D semantic segmentation using only depth data. This method addresses the challenge of relying on RGB images, which can compromise privacy, by leveraging depth-only geometry. UTTO converts uncertainty in predictions into a guidance signal to refine unreliable semantic responses, utilizing priors from foundation models. Experiments on ScanNet20, ScanNet40, and ScanNet200 datasets show that UTTO significantly improves depth-only open-vocabulary 3D segmentation without requiring additional training. AI
