arXiv:2605.22013v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding 3D point clouds through language remains a fundamental challenge in computer graphics and visual computing, due to the irregular structure of point cloud data and the lack of explicit reasoning in existing 3D multimodal models. While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has shown strong effectiveness in LLMs and image-based MLLMs, its extension to 3D understanding remains largely underexplored. In this paper, we propose a data-centric framework for constructing large-scale CoT supervision tailored to 3D point cloud understanding. Our
The continuous advancements in AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), are pushing for more sophisticated integration with various data modalities, making 3D understanding a logical next frontier.
Enhancing AI's ability to reason about complex 3D data like point clouds is critical for progress in robotics, spatial computing, and various industrial applications, impacting how AI interacts with the physical world.
This research introduces a novel CoT framework for 3D point cloud understanding, enabling models to perform more explicit and interpretable reasoning, moving beyond simple classification or segmentation.
