Stream3Dv2: Geometric-Semantic Fusion Enhanced Streaming Zero-Shot 3D Scene Understanding
Recently, open-vocabulary zero-shot 3D scene understanding using vision foundation models has emerged as a promising alternative to data-intensive supervised methods. However, deploying these models in real-world scenarios is severely hindered by their inability to efficiently handle streaming RGB-D inputs and their inherent vulnerability to noise 2D segmentation masks. To address these critical limitations, we propose Stream3Dv2, a novel training-free framework designed for robust streaming 3D perception. Stream3Dv2 processes sequential data through an original nested local-to-historical architecture, capturing multi-view consistency while circumventing the high computational overhead so as to support timely responses. At its core, we introduce a comprehensive geometric-semantic fusion mechanism that resolves geometric noise and semantic ambiguity by explicitly utilizing semantic guidance and formulating 3D segmentation as solving point-and-set merging and partitioning problems. Furthermore, we present an innovative manifold-distance-based point cloud refinement strategy. This approach leverages local manifold graphs for point-to-manifold optimization that mitigates the boundary delineation failures caused by Euclidean-distance metrics, and employs geometric bounding boxes to dynamically activate and update historical instances for achieving rapid manifold-to-manifold refinement. Extensive experiments on public datasets demonstrate that Stream3Dv2 consistently outperforms existing baselines in foundational open-vocabulary streaming 3D segmentation and detection. Finally, we show that integrating our framework with an LLM-based agent enables advanced language-driven 3D scene understanding, underscoring its potential for open-world embodied intelligence.
