Scenix: Sparse-View 3D Scene Reconstruction via Executable Scene Programs

Synthesizing a structured and editable 3D indoor scene from a few uncalibrated RGB views requires more than generating high-quality individual assets: a system must infer the room structure, associate objects across incomplete observations, and recover a globally consistent spatial configuration. Previous methods mainly focus on 3D scene generation with text input or require continuous visual inputs with additional priors, \ e.g., human-annotated masks or accurate 3D layouts, which makes these methods labor demanding and hard to apply in general cases. We present \textsc{Scenix}, a sparse-view 3D scene reconstruction framework via executable scene programs, a structured representation that can be directly instantiated into editable 3D scenes. Given sparse views, \textsc{Scenix} predicts executable scene programs through perception-grounded asset instantiation and closed-loop spatial refinement. % We present \method, a framework that predicts an executable scene representation from sparse views and realizes it through perception-grounded asset instantiation and closed-loop spatial refinement. To support this task, we construct \dataset, a dataset of approximately 110,000 synthetic and real indoor scenes with multiview imagery, room structures, object-centric descriptions, and metric spatial annotations. We further introduce observation-consistent supervision that aligns each target scene with the visual evidence available in its input views. Experiments on held-out \textsc{XScene} scenes, real indoor images, and out-of-distribution SpatialGen cases evaluate structured scene prediction, object grounding, and spatial refinement.

Reinforcing Egocentric Spatial Perception in Multimodal Large Language Models via Ego Scene Augmentation

Egocentric Visual Question Answering (VQA) has attracted widespread attention as an important task for enabling Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to interact with the real world. However, existing MLLMs struggle to perform effective spatial reasoning in complex egocentric scenes due to their limited spatial perception capabilities. To this end, we introduce Ego Scene Augmentation (ESA), an egocentric spatial perception framework, which actively enhances the spatial perception capabilities from the egocentric perspective, powered by the proposed Ego-element Graph. Our core insight is leveraging the Ego-element Graph as an intermediary representation to augment the egocentric spatial perception of MLLMs via visual foundational models. Specifically, we 1) construct the Ego-element Graph, which encapsulates and integrates egocentric spatial features enabled by visual foundational models; 2) enhance the spatial perception capabilities of MLLMs via the Ego-element Graph for ego-perspective scenes. Our proposed ESA framework presents significant performance improvement on the EgoTextVQA benchmark. We achieve an 8.14% gain on the indoor setting and an 8.72% gain on the outdoor setting. Furthermore, our ESA shows the most impressive performance improvement in the shopping subset of the indoor setting. The project code is publicly available.

PatternGSL: A Structured Specification Language for Template-Free and Simulation-Ready 3D Garments

Reconstructing realistic, physically plausible garments from a single image remains a fundamental challenge. Template-free methods capture surface geometry but lack explicit sewing structure for simulation; while programmatic systems are simulation-ready but constrained by predefined templates. This reveals a fundamental representation gap between geometric reconstruction and structured garment construction. We present PatternGSL, a structured garment representation in the form of a template-free and learnable specification language that encodes complete sewing patterns, including panel boundaries, parameterized seams, and explicit stitch topology, in a compact and standardized form. PatternGSL preserves the physical rigor of pattern-based models while removing template dependence, elevating sewing structure as a first-class target for generative modeling. We further propose a vision-language framework that predicts PatternGSL specifications directly from a single image and decodes them into garments using lightweight deterministic validity handling, without optimization-based refinement or manual cleanup. In addition, we introduce PatternGSLData, the first large-scale image-to-GSL paired dataset comprising 300K samples with complete sewing pattern annotations, enabling supervised VLM training for structured garment reconstruction. Experiments demonstrate improved pattern accuracy over prior baselines, explicit sewing-structure recovery, reliable cloth simulation, and pattern-level editing through the same deterministic decoding pipeline. Code and data-processing scripts will be released at https://github.com/PatternGSL/PatternGSL.

ConsistNav: Closing the Action Consistency Gap in Zero-Shot Object Navigation with Semantic Executive Control

Zero-shot object navigation has advanced rapidly with open-vocabulary detectors, image--text models, and language-guided exploration. However, even after current methods detect a plausible target hypothesis, the agent may still oscillate between exploration and pursuit, or abandon the object near success. We identify this failure mode as an action consistency gap: semantic evidence is repeatedly reinterpreted at each step without persistent commitment across the episode. We introduce ConsistNav, a training-free zero-shot ObjectNav framework built around a semantic executive composed of three coordinated modules: Finite-State Executive Controller stages target pursuit through guarded semantic phases; Persistent Candidate Memory accumulates cross-frame target evidence into stable object hypotheses; and Stability-Aware Action Control suppresses rotational stagnation, ineffective pursuit, and unverified stopping. This design changes neither the detector nor the low-level planner; instead, it controls when semantic evidence should influence navigation and when it should be suppressed or revisited. We conduct extensive experiments on HM3D and MP3D, where ConsistNav achieves state-of-the-art results among compared zero-shot ObjectNav methods and improves SR by 11.4% and SPL by 7.9% over the controlled baseline on MP3D. Ablation studies and real-world deployment experiments further demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed executive mechanism.

SAP: Segment Any 4K Panorama

Promptable instance segmentation is widely adopted in embodied and AR systems, yet the performance of foundation models trained on perspective imagery often degrades on 360° panoramas. In this paper, we introduce Segment Any 4K Panorama (SAP), a foundation model for 4K high-resolution panoramic instance-level segmentation. We reformulate panoramic segmentation as fixed-trajectory perspective video segmentation, decomposing a panorama into overlapping perspective patches sampled along a continuous spherical traversal. This memory-aligned reformulation preserves native 4K resolution while restoring the smooth viewpoint transitions required for stable cross-view propagation. To enable large-scale supervision, we synthesize 183,440 4K-resolution panoramic images with instance segmentation labels using the InfiniGen engine. Trained under this trajectory-aligned paradigm, SAP generalizes effectively to real-world 360° images, achieving +17.2 zero-shot mIoU gain over vanilla SAM2 of different sizes on real-world 4K panorama benchmark.

EgoIntent: An Egocentric Step-level Benchmark for Understanding What, Why, and Next

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable video reasoning capabilities across diverse tasks. However, their ability to understand human intent at a fine-grained level in egocentric videos remains largely unexplored. Existing benchmarks focus primarily on episode-level intent reasoning, overlooking the finer granularity of step-level intent understanding. Yet applications such as intelligent assistants, robotic imitation learning, and augmented reality guidance require understanding not only what a person is doing at each step, but also why and what comes next, in order to provide timely and context-aware support. To this end, we introduce EgoIntent, a step-level intent understanding benchmark for egocentric videos. It comprises 3,014 steps spanning 15 diverse indoor and outdoor daily-life scenarios, and evaluates models on three complementary dimensions: local intent (What), global intent (Why), and next-step plan (Next). Crucially, each clip is truncated immediately before the key outcome of the queried step (e.g., contact or grasp) occurs and contains no frames from subsequent steps, preventing future-frame leakage and enabling a clean evaluation of anticipatory step understanding and next-step planning. We evaluate 15 MLLMs, including both state-of-the-art closed-source and open-source models. Even the best-performing model achieves an average score of only 33.31 across the three intent dimensions, underscoring that step-level intent understanding in egocentric videos remains a highly challenging problem that calls for further investigation.

UltraShape 1.0: High-Fidelity 3D Shape Generation via Scalable Geometric Refinement

In this report, we introduce UltraShape 1.0, a scalable 3D diffusion framework for high-fidelity 3D geometry generation. The proposed approach adopts a two-stage generation pipeline: a coarse global structure is first synthesized and then refined to produce detailed, high-quality geometry. To support reliable 3D generation, we develop a comprehensive data processing pipeline that includes a novel watertight processing method and high-quality data filtering. This pipeline improves the geometric quality of publicly available 3D datasets by removing low-quality samples, filling holes, and thickening thin structures, while preserving fine-grained geometric details. To enable fine-grained geometry refinement, we decouple spatial localization from geometric detail synthesis in the diffusion process. We achieve this by performing voxel-based refinement at fixed spatial locations, where voxel queries derived from coarse geometry provide explicit positional anchors encoded via RoPE, allowing the diffusion model to focus on synthesizing local geometric details within a reduced, structured solution space. Our model is trained exclusively on publicly available 3D datasets, achieving strong geometric quality despite limited training resources. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that UltraShape 1.0 performs competitively with existing open-source methods in both data processing quality and geometry generation. All code and trained models will be released to support future research.

T-Rex-Omni: Integrating Negative Visual Prompt in Generic Object Detection

Object detection methods have evolved from closed-set to open-set paradigms over the years. Current open-set object detectors, however, remain constrained by their exclusive reliance on positive indicators based on given prompts like text descriptions or visual exemplars. This positive-only paradigm experiences consistent vulnerability to visually similar but semantically different distractors. We propose T-Rex-Omni, a novel framework that addresses this limitation by incorporating negative visual prompts to negate hard negative distractors. Specifically, we first introduce a unified visual prompt encoder that jointly processes positive and negative visual prompts. Next, a training-free Negating Negative Computing (NNC) module is proposed to dynamically suppress negative responses during the probability computing stage. To further boost performance through fine-tuning, our Negating Negative Hinge (NNH) loss enforces discriminative margins between positive and negative embeddings. T-Rex-Omni supports flexible deployment in both positive-only and joint positive-negative inference modes, accommodating either user-specified or automatically generated negative examples. Extensive experiments demonstrate remarkable zero-shot detection performance, significantly narrowing the performance gap between visual-prompted and text-prompted methods while showing particular strength in long-tailed scenarios (51.2 AP_r on LVIS-minival). This work establishes negative prompts as a crucial new dimension for advancing open-set visual recognition systems.

Multimodal Spatial Reasoning in the Large Model Era: A Survey and Benchmarks

Humans possess spatial reasoning abilities that enable them to understand spaces through multimodal observations, such as vision and sound. Large multimodal reasoning models extend these abilities by learning to perceive and reason, showing promising performance across diverse spatial tasks. However, systematic reviews and publicly available benchmarks for these models remain limited. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of multimodal spatial reasoning tasks with large models, categorizing recent progress in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) and introducing open benchmarks for evaluation. We begin by outlining general spatial reasoning, focusing on post-training techniques, explainability, and architecture. Beyond classical 2D tasks, we examine spatial relationship reasoning, scene and layout understanding, as well as visual question answering and grounding in 3D space. We also review advances in embodied AI, including vision-language navigation and action models. Additionally, we consider emerging modalities such as audio and egocentric video, which contribute to novel spatial understanding through new sensors. We believe this survey establishes a solid foundation and offers insights into the growing field of multimodal spatial reasoning. Updated information about this survey, codes and implementation of the open benchmarks can be found at https://github.com/zhengxuJosh/Awesome-Spatial-Reasoning.

PhysToolBench: Benchmarking Physical Tool Understanding for MLLMs

The ability to use, understand, and create tools is a hallmark of human intelligence, enabling sophisticated interaction with the physical world. For any general-purpose intelligent agent to achieve true versatility, it must also master these fundamental skills. While modern Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) leverage their extensive common knowledge for high-level planning in embodied AI and in downstream Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, the extent of their true understanding of physical tools remains unquantified. To bridge this gap, we present PhysToolBench, the first benchmark dedicated to evaluating the comprehension of physical tools by MLLMs. Our benchmark is structured as a Visual Question Answering (VQA) dataset comprising over 1,000 image-text pairs. It assesses capabilities across three distinct difficulty levels: (1) Tool Recognition: Requiring the recognition of a tool's primary function. (2) Tool Understanding: Testing the ability to grasp the underlying principles of a tool's operation. (3) Tool Creation: Challenging the model to fashion a new tool from surrounding objects when conventional options are unavailable. Our comprehensive evaluation of 32 MLLMs-spanning proprietary, open-source, specialized embodied, and backbones in VLAs-reveals a significant deficiency in tool understanding. Furthermore, we provide an in-depth analysis and propose preliminary solutions. Code and dataset are publicly available.
