Feature Puzzles: Single-Image Supervision for Multi-View 3D-Aware Segmentation

arXiv:2611.05874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans can easily recognize the same objects across different viewpoints of a 3D scene, whereas teaching models such multi-view-consistent perception typically requires videos or calibrated multi-view captures, which are considerably more expensive and less diverse than large-scale monocular data.~In this paper, we introduce Feature Puzzles, a novel framework for learning multi-view-consistent segmentation using only single-image semantic segmentation supervision. Specifically, we propose a simple yet effective pipeline that constructs multi-view-consistent segmentation pseudo-labels through image cropping and geometric transformations. We further introduce a lightweight, plug-and-play network that leverages the multi-view-consistent image features learned by existing pretrained 3D foundation models and the generated pseudo-labels to perform multi-view-consistent segmentation. Importantly, our flexible framework supports various types of prompts provided from one or multiple views and can be readily extended to open-vocabulary 3D segmentation. Under this single-image supervision, our feed-forward model achieves the best mIoU on NVOS, remains competitive on SPIn-NeRF and ScanNet++ against baselines using per-scene optimization or in-domain multi-view training, and demonstrates zero-shot transfer to open-vocabulary 3D segmentation.
