SceneGraphGrounder uses 3D scene graphs for zero-shot visual grounding

Researchers have introduced SceneGraphGrounder, a novel framework designed for zero-shot 3D visual grounding. This approach tackles the challenge of locating objects in unstructured environments using natural language by transforming the task into a structured scene graph matching problem. The system reconstructs a 3D scene graph from 2D views, encoding both spatial and semantic relationships, and then aligns a query graph with this scene graph for consistent and interpretable reasoning. Experiments on the ScanRefer benchmark show competitive results, and the framework has been validated on a mobile robot for real-world applications. AI

    SceneGraphGrounder: Zero-Shot 3D Visual Grounding via Structured Scene Graph Matching

    arXiv:2605.21788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Zero-shot 3D visual grounding requires localizing objects in unstructured environments from free-form natural language. Recent vision-language model (VLM) approaches achieve promising results but rely on view-dependent reasoning or …
