HiSC framework reduces 3D VLM token redundancy by over 90%

Researchers have introduced HiSC, a novel framework designed to enhance the efficiency of 3D vision-language models (3D VLMs). This training-free approach addresses the significant token redundancy in 3D scenes by organizing tokens into spatially grounded clusters. HiSC employs a spatial graph-based merging strategy to consolidate similar redundant tokens before inference and a hierarchical compression method during inference to preserve object completeness and fine-grained details. Experiments demonstrate that HiSC can achieve over 90% token reduction with minimal performance degradation on various 3D reasoning benchmarks. AI

IMPACT HiSC's approach to token compression could significantly reduce computational costs for 3D vision-language models, enabling more efficient spatial reasoning.

    HiSC: Hierarchical Spatial Clustering Token Compression for Efficient 3D Scene Understanding

    3D vision-language models (3D VLMs) enable spatial reasoning over multi-view scenes but suffer from substantial token redundancy due to duplicated observations and large uninformative regions, leading to high computational cost. Although visual token compression has shown promise…
