arXiv:2604.03296v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Leveraging 3D information within Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has recently shown significant advantages for indoor scene understanding. However, existing methods, including those using explicit ground-truth 3D positional encoding and those grafting external 3D foundation models for implicit geometry, struggle with the trade-off in 2D-3D representation fusion, leading to suboptimal deployment. To this end, we propose 3D-Implicit Depth Emergence, a method that reframes 3D perception as an emergent property derived from geometric self-supervision rather than explicit encoding. Our core insight is the Implicit Geometric Emergence Principle: by strategically leveraging privileged geometric supervision through mechanisms like a fine-grained geometry validator and global representation constraints, we construct an information bottleneck. This bottleneck forces the model to maximize the mutual information between visual features and 3D structures, allowing 3D awareness to emerge naturally within a unified visual representation. Unlike existing approaches, our method enables 3D perception to emerge implicitly, disentangling features in dense regions and, crucially, eliminating depth and pose dependencies during inference with zero latency overhead. This paradigm shift from external grafting to implicit emergence represents a fundamental rethinking of 3D knowledge integration in visual-language models. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method surpasses SOTA on multiple 3D scene understanding benchmarks. Our approach achieves a 55% reduction in inference latency while maintaining strong performance across diverse downstream tasks, underscoring the effectiveness of meticulously designed auxiliary objectives for dependency-free 3D understanding.

arXiv:2603.24936v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Human trajectory forecasting is important for intelligent multimedia systems operating in visually complex environments, such as autonomous driving and crowd surveillance. Although Conditional Flow Matching (CFM) has shown strong ability in modeling trajectory distributions from spatio-temporal observations, existing approaches still focus primarily on supervised fitting, which may leave social norms and scene constraints insufficiently reflected in generated trajectories. To address this issue, we propose TIGFlow-GRPO, a two-stage generative approach that aligns flow-based trajectory generation with behavioral rules. In the first stage, we build a CFM-based predictor with a Trajectory-Interaction-Graph (TIG) module to model fine-grained visual-spatial interactions and strengthen context encoding. This stage captures both agent-agent and agent-scene relations more effectively, providing more informative conditional features for subsequent alignment. In the second stage, we perform Flow-GRPO post-training, where deterministic flow rollout is reformulated as stochastic ODE-to-SDE sampling to enable trajectory exploration, and a composite reward combines view-aware social compliance with map-aware physical feasibility. By evaluating trajectories explored through SDE rollout, GRPO progressively steers multimodal predictions toward behaviorally plausible futures. Experiments on the ETH/UCY and SDD datasets show that TIGFlow-GRPOimproves forecasting accuracy and long-horizon stability while generatingtrajectories that are more socially compliant and physically feasible.These results suggest that the proposed approach provides an effective way to connectflow-based trajectory modeling with behavior-aware alignment in dynamic multimedia environments.
