Key Points

  • The paper introduces FF3R, a fully annotation-free, feed-forward framework that unifies geometric and semantic reasoning for 3D reconstruction from unconstrained multi-view image sequences.
  • FF3R removes the need for camera poses, depth maps, and semantic labels by using only rendering supervision on RGB and feature maps, aiming to reduce redundant pipelines and error accumulation.
  • It tackles global semantic inconsistency and local structural inconsistency using a Token-wise Fusion Module (cross-attention to enrich geometry tokens with semantic context) and a Semantic-Geometry Mutual Boosting mechanism (geometry-guided feature warping plus semantic-aware voxelization).
  • Experiments on ScanNet and DL3DV-10K report improved results across novel-view synthesis, open-vocabulary semantic segmentation, and depth estimation, with strong generalization to in-the-wild scenarios.

Abstract

Recent advances in vision foundation models have revolutionized geometry reconstruction and semantic understanding. Yet, most of the existing approaches treat these capabilities in isolation, leading to redundant pipelines and compounded errors. This paper introduces FF3R, a fully annotation-free feed-forward framework that unifies geometric and semantic reasoning from unconstrained multi-view image sequences. Unlike previous methods, FF3R does not require camera poses, depth maps, or semantic labels, relying solely on rendering supervision for RGB and feature maps, establishing a scalable paradigm for unified 3D reasoning. In addition, we address two critical challenges in feedforward feature reconstruction pipelines, namely global semantic inconsistency and local structural inconsistency, through two key innovations: (i) a Token-wise Fusion Module that enriches geometry tokens with semantic context via cross-attention, and (ii) a Semantic-Geometry Mutual Boosting mechanism combining geometry-guided feature warping for global consistency with semantic-aware voxelization for local coherence. Extensive experiments on ScanNet and DL3DV-10K demonstrate FF3R's superior performance in novel-view synthesis, open-vocabulary semantic segmentation, and depth estimation, with strong generalization to in-the-wild scenarios, paving the way for embodied intelligence systems that demand both spatial and semantic understanding.
