The paper proposes a novel approach to 3D instance segmentation without relying on prior vocabulary or semantic categories. The method leverages a large vision-language assistant and an open-vocabulary 2D instance segmenter to discover and ground semantic categories in posed images, which are then used to form 3D instance masks. A novel superpoint merging strategy is introduced via spectral clustering, accounting for mask coherence and semantic coherence estimated from 2D object instance masks. The method outperforms existing methods in both vocabulary-free and open-vocabulary settings on ScanNet200 and Replica datasets.

In simple terms, the paper helps computers identify objects in 3D scenes without being told what to look for. It’s like asking a person to find all the objects in a room, not just specific ones. The method uses a combination of computer vision and language processing techniques to discover object categories from scratch. This is an important step towards enabling computers to understand and interact with the world more effectively.
