Imagine3D-LLM decoded summary tokens into a compact Gaussian-splat representation across viewpoints.
Summary
Imagine3D-LLM decoded summary tokens into a compact Gaussian-splat representation across viewpoints.
Imagine3D-LLM appends learnable summary tokens after image tokens, decodes them into a compact 3D Gaussian Splatting representation and trains that representation with photometric reconstruction alongside next-token prediction. Although direct reconstruction supervision reaches only the summary tokens, the authors report stronger cross-frame correspondence in the underlying image features and improvements across multiple spatial-reasoning and 3D-understanding benchmarks. The result supports the tested training recipe; it does not establish human-like spatial understanding.
