Bootstrapping Video Semantic Segmentation Model via Distillation-assisted Test-Time Adaptation

Jihun Kim, Hoyong Kwon, Hyeokjun Kweon, Kuk-Jin Yoon

展开摘要

Fully supervised Video Semantic Segmentation (VSS) relies heavily on densely annotated video data, limiting practical applicability. Alternatively, applying pre-trained Image Semantic Segmentation (ISS) models frame-by-frame avoids annotation costs but ignores crucial temporal coherence. Recent foundation models such as SAM2 enable high-quality mask propagation yet remain impractical for direct VSS due to limited semantic understanding and computational overhead. In this paper, we propose DiTTA (Distillation-assisted Test-Time Adaptation), a novel framework that converts an ISS model into a temporally-aware VSS model through efficient test-time adaptation (TTA), without annotated videos. DiTTA distills SAM2's temporal segmentation knowledge into the ISS model during a brief, single-pass initialization phase, complemented by a lightweight temporal fusion module to aggregate cross-frame context. Crucially, DiTTA achieves robust generalization even when adapting with highly limited partial video snippets (e.g., initial 10%), significantly outperforming zero-shot refinement approaches that repeatedly invoke SAM2 during inference. Extensive experiments on VSPW and Cityscapes demonstrate DiTTA's effectiveness, achieving competitive or superior performance relative to fully-supervised VSS methods, thus providing a practical and annotation-free solution for real-world VSS tasks.

HOPS: Hierarchical Open-vocabulary Part Segmentation with Attention-Aware Filtering and Affinity-Guided Enhancement

Xinlong Li, Di Lin, Shaoyiyi Gao, Yaxuan Liu, Jixian He, Jiaxin LI, Ruonan Liu, Qing Guo, Kairui Yang, Wei Feng

展开摘要

Open-vocabulary part segmentation (OVPS) aims to segment objects into fine-grained parts while generalizing to unseen categories. Existing VLM-based methods face two challenges: (1) object over-segmentation, caused by overly broad semantic activations, and (2) part under-segmentation, resulting from weak fine-grained perception. To address these issues, we propose HOPS, a two-stage framework for hierarchical open-vocabulary part segmentation. HOPS introduces a bidirectional semantic-structural attention fusion mechanism that integrates CLIP's semantic alignment with DINO's structural perception. In the object segmentation stage, the Attention-Aware Filtering Module (AFM) refines cross-modal similarity maps via semantic-structural attention to suppress object over-segmentation. In the part segmentation stage, the Affinity-Guided Enhancement Module (AEM) iteratively propagates part responses to progressively expand activation regions, effectively mitigating part under-segmentation. Experiments on Pascal-Part-116, ADE20K-Part-234, and PartImageNet demonstrate that HOPS achieves state-of-the-art performance with superior generalization.

Mitigating Instance Entanglement in Instance-Dependent Partial Label Learning

Rui Zhao, Bin Shi, Kai Sun, Bo Dong

展开摘要

Partial label learning is a prominent weakly supervised classification task, where each training instance is ambiguously labeled with a set of candidate labels. In real-world scenarios, candidate labels are often influenced by instance features, leading to the emergence of instance-dependent PLL (ID-PLL), a setting that more accurately reflects this relationship. A significant challenge in ID-PLL is instance entanglement, where instances from similar classes share overlapping features and candidate labels, resulting in increased class confusion. To address this issue, we propose a novel Class-specific Augmentation based Disentanglement (CAD) framework, which tackles instance entanglement by both intra- and inter-class regulations. For intra-class regulation, CAD amplifies class-specific features to generate class-wise augmentations and aligns same-class augmentations across instances. For inter-class regulation, CAD introduces a weighted penalty loss function that applies stronger penalties to more ambiguous labels, encouraging larger inter-class distances. By jointly applying intra- and inter-class regulations, CAD improves the clarity of class boundaries and reduces class confusion caused by entanglement. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of CAD in mitigating the entanglement problem and enhancing ID-PLL performance. The code is available at https://github.com/RyanZhaoIc/CAD.git.

Learning and Aligning Click-Aware Shape Prior for Interactive Amodal Instance Segmentation

Junjie Chen, Junwei Lin, Ren Hong, Shengjie Liu, Yuming Fang, Feng Qian, Yifan Zuo

展开摘要

Amodal instance segmentation aims to segment both visible and occluded regions of object instance, which are challenging due to lacking inference support under occlusion. Most existing methods employ the prior knowledge about object mask (shape prior) to support the amodal estimation, but the shape prior is not always compatible for object instances in the test stage. In this paper, we explore the task of interactive amodal segmentation, where a few user clicks are available for better segmenting the complete masks of object instances. For this task, we propose a novel framework based on learning and aligning click-aware shape prior (termed ClickPriorNet). Specifically, we propose to learn click-aware shape prior with triplet loss, which forces the retrieved shape priors to have higher IoU with the ground-truth of target instance and thus could exactly facilitate the prediction. Besides, considering the inevitable mismatch between shape prior and target instance, we propose to adaptively align the shape prior with deformable attention. Overall, our model could make full use of the interactive clicks to retrieve and align shape priors, and thus could estimate more complete masks. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Code is available at https://github.com/chenbys/ClickPriorNet.

BoostSLT: Boosting Sign Language Translation via a Plug-and-Play Diffusion-Based Semantic Enhancer

Changzhou Han, Wanlun Ma, Xi Tang, Kun Hu, Sheng Wen, Yang Xiang

展开摘要

Sign Language Translation (SLT) converts continuous sign videos into spoken language text, yet current models, whether gloss-based or gloss-free, struggle with long or discourse-level inputs. Recent architectures such as TwoStreamNetwork and CV-SLT have nearly saturated short-sentence accuracy, but their performance degrades on long sentences and multi-sentence paragraphs. In real scenarios such as news, interviews or daily conversations, signers naturally produce extended signing sequences with complex contextual dependencies. Moreover, identifying precise gloss boundaries remains a key obstacle, while gloss-based methods, though often superior, incur heavy annotation costs. The community therefore needs a solution that mitigates gloss dependency while preserving translation quality. We present BoostSLT, a context-aware framework for enhancing semantic consistency over long sign sequences without gloss supervision. Instead of requiring explicit gloss segmentation, BoostSLT introduces an Energy-Aware Temporal Segmentation (EAT-Seg) module that dynamically partitions videos into semantically coherent fragments, followed by a Diffusion-based Semantic Reconstruction (DSR) module that stitches and refines fragment-level translations into globally fluent paragraphs. The framework is plug-and-play and model-agnostic, seamlessly integrating with existing gloss-based or gloss-free pipelines across languages. Experiments on PHOENIX-2014T, CSL-Daily, and Auslan-Daily show consistent BLEU and ROUGE-L gains, confirming that diffusion-driven semantic reconstruction effectively bridges local accuracy and global coherence in long-form SLT. Code is available at github.com/K1sna/BoostSLT.

Mitigating Objectness Bias and Region-to-Text Misalignment for Open-Vocabulary Panoptic Segmentation

Nikolay Kormushev, Josip Saric, Matej Kristan

展开摘要

Open-vocabulary panoptic segmentation remains hindered by two coupled issues: (i) mask selection bias, where objectness heads trained on closed vocabularies suppress masks of categories not observed in training, and (ii) limited regional understanding in vision-language models such as CLIP, which were optimized for global image classification rather than localized segmentation. We introduce OVRCOAT, a simple, modular framework that tackles both. First, a CLIP-conditioned objectness adjustment (COAT) updates background/foreground probabilities, preserving high-quality masks for out-of-vocabulary objects. Second, an open-vocabulary mask-to-text refinement (OVR) strengthens CLIP's region-level alignment to improve classification of both seen and unseen classes with markedly lower memory cost than prior fine-tuning schemes. The two components combine to jointly improve objectness estimation and mask recognition, yielding consistent panoptic gains. Despite its simplicity, OVRCOAT sets a new state of the art on ADE20K (+5.5% PQ) and delivers clear gains on Mapillary Vistas and Cityscapes (+7.1% and +3% PQ, respectively). The code is available here.

F2Net: A Frequency-Fused Network for Ultra-High Resolution Remote Sensing Segmentation

Hengzhi Chen, Liqian Feng, Wenhua Wu, Xiaogang Zhu, Qiuxia Wu, Lianlei Shan, Kun Hu

展开摘要

Semantic segmentation of ultra-high-resolution (UHR) remote sensing imagery is critical for applications like environmental monitoring and urban planning but faces com- putational and optimization challenges. Conventional methods either lose fine details through downsampling or fragment global context via patch processing. While multi-branch networks ad- dress this trade-off, they suffer from computational inefficiency and conflicting gradient dynamics during training. We propose F2Net, a frequency-aware framework that decomposes UHR images into high- and low-frequency components for specialized processing. The high-frequency branch preserves full-resolution structural details, while the low-frequency branch processes downsampled inputs through dual sub-branches capturing short- and long-range dependencies. A Hybrid-Frequency Fusion mod- ule integrates these observations, guided by two novel objectives: Cross-Frequency Alignment Loss ensures semantic consistency between frequency components, and Cross-Frequency Balance Loss regulates gradient magnitudes across branches to stabilize training. Evaluated on DeepGlobe and Inria Aerial benchmarks, F2Net achieves state-of-the-art performance with mIoU of 80.22 and 83.39, respectively.

TerraSeg: Self-Supervised Ground Segmentation for Any LiDAR

Ted Lentsch, Santiago Montiel-Marín, Holger Caesar, Dariu M. Gavrila

展开摘要

LiDAR perception is fundamental to robotics, enabling machines to understand their environment in 3D. A crucial task for LiDAR-based scene understanding and navigation is ground segmentation. However, existing methods are either handcrafted for specific sensor configurations or rely on costly per-point manual labels, severely limiting their generalization and scalability. To overcome this, we introduce TerraSeg, the first self-supervised, domain-agnostic model for LiDAR ground segmentation. We train TerraSeg on OmniLiDAR, a unified large-scale dataset that aggregates and standardizes data from 12 major public benchmarks. Spanning almost 22 million raw scans across 15 distinct sensor models, OmniLiDAR provides unprecedented diversity for learning a highly generalizable ground model. To supervise training without human annotations, we propose PseudoLabeler, a novel module that generates high-quality ground and non-ground labels through self-supervised per-scan runtime optimization. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that, despite using no manual labels, TerraSeg achieves state-of-the-art results on nuScenes, SemanticKITTI, and Waymo Perception while delivering real-time performance. Our code and model weights are publicly available.

DriverGaze360: OmniDirectional Driver Attention with Object-Level Guidance

Shreedhar Govil, Didier Stricker, Jason Rambach

展开摘要

Predicting driver attention is a critical problem for developing explainable autonomous driving systems and understanding driver behavior in mixed human-autonomous vehicle traffic scenarios. Although significant progress has been made through large-scale driver attention datasets and deep learning architectures, existing works are constrained by narrow frontal field-of-view and limited driving diversity. Consequently, they fail to capture the full spatial context of driving environments, especially during lane changes, turns, and interactions involving peripheral objects such as pedestrians or cyclists. In this paper, we introduce DriverGaze360, a large-scale 360 field of view driver attention dataset, containing 1 million gaze-labeled frames collected from 19 human drivers, enabling comprehensive omnidirectional modeling of driver gaze behavior. Moreover, our panoramic attention prediction approach, DriverGaze360-Net, jointly learns attention maps and attended objects by employing an auxiliary semantic segmentation head. This improves spatial awareness and attention prediction across wide panoramic inputs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DriverGaze360-Net achieves state-of-the-art attention prediction performance on multiple metrics on panoramic driving images.

Maximilian Rokuss, Moritz Langenberg, Yannick Kirchhoff, Fabian Isensee, Benjamin Hamm, Constantin Ulrich, Sebastian Regnery, Lukas Bauer, Efthimios Katsigiannopulos, Tobias Norajitra, Klaus Maier-Hein

展开摘要

We introduce VoxTell, a vision-language model for text-prompted volumetric medical image segmentation. It maps free-form descriptions, from single words to full clinical sentences, to 3D masks. Trained on 62K+ CT, MRI, and PET volumes spanning 1K+ anatomical and pathological classes, VoxTell uses multi-stage vision-language fusion across decoder layers to align textual and visual features at multiple scales. It achieves state-of-the-art zero-shot performance across modalities on unseen datasets, excelling on familiar concepts while generalizing to related unseen classes. Extensive experiments further demonstrate strong cross-modality transfer, robustness to linguistic variations and clinical language, as well as accurate instance-specific segmentation from real-world text.

GeoFree-CoSeg: Unsupervised Point Cloud-Image Cross-Modal Co-Segmentation Without Geometric Alignment

Xin Duan, Xiabi Liu, Liyuan Pan

展开摘要

Co-segmentation aims to identify and segment common objects across a set of point clouds or images. Existing methods focus on single-modal co-segmentation. However, the limited semantics of a single modality restrict the discovery of common objects, leading to costly and labor-intensive segmentation masks. In contrast, cross-modal co-segmentation leverages both modalities, offering two key advantages: (i) additional semantic cues compensate for the absence of segmentation masks; and (ii) complementary modalities provide richer common semantics beyond the limitations of single-modality approaches. Motivated by these challenges, we introduce a novel task: unsupervised point cloud-image cross-modal co-segmentation. We tackle this problem using a coarse-to-fine approach. First, the 3D and 2D branches extract coarse common semantics from each modality, respectively. Then, a cross-modal common semantic graph purifies these features into fine-grained common semantics. Finally, 3D and 2D common semantic features are mutually enhanced, without requiring geometric alignment. Experiments on two standard point cloud benchmarks and two corresponding image co-segmentation datasets demonstrate our superior performance compared to existing unsupervised state-of-the-art methods.

Spatial Matters: Position-Guided 3D Referring Expression Segmentation

Yabing Wang, Zhuotao Tian, Le Wang, Zheng Qin, Sanping Zhou

展开摘要

3D Referring Expression segmentation (3D-RES) is an emerging field that segments 3D objects in point cloud scenes based on given referring expressions. Although existing methods have achieved substantial progress, they primarily focus on semantic cues and often overlook spatial relations, which are essential for segmenting the referred objects in complex 3D scenes, especially those containing multiple visually similar instances. In this paper, we propose Position3D, a novel approach that explicitly incorporates spatial relation modeling into 3D-RES. Specifically, we introduce a spatial-aware query generation module that constructs point proxies by aggregating local context and incorporating spatial relations, from which the most text-relevant are selected as queries. Furthermore, we design a position-guided deformable attention in the decoder, which progressively refines attention to concentrate on the target object under positional relationship guidance. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets, i.e., ScanRefer, and Multi3DRefer, validate the effectiveness of the proposed method Position3D.

FoV-Net: Rotation-Invariant CAD B-rep Learning via Field-of-View Ray Casting

Matteo Ballegeer, Dries F. Benoit

展开摘要

Learning directly from boundary representations (B-reps) has significantly advanced 3D CAD analysis. However, state-of-the-art B-rep learning methods rely on absolute coordinates and normals to encode global context, making them highly sensitive to rotations. Our experiments reveal that models achieving over 95% accuracy on aligned benchmarks can collapse to as low as 10% under arbitrary SO(3) rotations. To address this, we introduce FoV-Net, the first B-rep learning framework that captures both local surface geometry and global structural context in a rotation-invariant manner. Each face is represented by a Local Reference Frame (LRF) UV-grid that encodes its local surface geometry, and by Field-of-View (FoV) grids that capture the surrounding 3D context by casting rays and recording intersections with neighboring faces. Lightweight CNNs extract per-face features, which are propagated over the B-rep graph using a graph attention network. FoV-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance on B-rep classification and segmentation benchmarks, demonstrating robustness to arbitrary rotations while also requiring less training data to achieve strong results.

Rewis3d: Reconstruction Improves Weakly-Supervised Semantic Segmentation

Jonas Ernst, Wolfgang Boettcher, Lukas Hoyer, Jan Eric Lenssen, Bernt Schiele

展开摘要

We present Rewis3d, a framework that leverages recent advances in feed-forward 3D reconstruction to significantly improve weakly supervised semantic segmentation on 2D images. Obtaining dense, pixel-level annotations remains a costly bottleneck for training segmentation models. Alleviating this issue, sparse annotations offer an efficient weakly-supervised alternative. However, they still incur a performance gap. To address this, we introduce a novel approach that leverages 3D scene reconstruction as an auxiliary supervisory signal. Our key insight is that 3D geometric structure recovered from 2D videos provides strong cues that can propagate sparse annotations across entire scenes. Specifically, a dual student-teacher architecture enforces semantic consistency between 2D images and reconstructed 3D point clouds, using state-of-the-art feed-forward reconstruction to generate reliable geometric supervision. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Rewis3d achieves state-of-the-art performance in sparse supervision, outperforming existing approaches by 2-7% without requiring additional labels or inference overhead.

Uni-Encoder Meets Multi-Encoders: Representation Before Fusion for Brain Tumor Segmentation with Missing Modalities

Peibo Song, Xiaotian Xue, Jinshuo Zhang, Zihao Wang, Jinhua Liu, Shujun Fu, Fangxun Bao, Si Yong Yeo

展开摘要

Multimodal MRI offers complementary information for brain tumor segmentation, but clinical scans often lack one or more modalities, which degrades segmentation performance. In this paper, we propose UniME (Uni-Encoder Meets Multi-Encoders), a two-stage heterogeneous method for brain tumor segmentation with missing modalities that reconciles the trade-offs among fine-grained structure capture, cross-modal complementarity modeling, and exploitation of available modalities. The idea is to decouple representation learning from segmentation via a two-stage heterogeneous architecture. Stage 1 pretrains a single ViT Uni-Encoder with masked image modeling to establish a unified representation robust to missing modalities. Stage 2 adds modality-specific CNN Multi-Encoders to extract high-resolution, multi-scale, fine-grained features. We fuse these features with the global representation to produce precise segmentations. Experiments on BraTS 2023 and BraTS 2024 show that UniME outperforms previous methods under incomplete multi-modal scenarios. The code is available at https://github.com/Hooorace-S/UniME

SAMIX: Reinforcing SAM2 with Semantic Adapter and Reference Selecting Policy for Mix-Supervised Segmentation

Qiang Hu, Jiajie Wei, Zhenyu Yi, Zhifen Yan, Yingjie Guo, Hongkuan Shi, Ge-Peng Ji, Qiang Li, Zhiwei Wang

展开摘要

Mix-supervised image segmentation aims to effectively leverage heterogeneous annotations. Recent prompt-based advances utilize foundation models such as Segment Anything Model (SAM) to generate pseudo-masks by treating weak labels as spatial prompts. However, these methods rely heavily on sparse spatial priors, leading to suboptimal performance in ambiguous regions and overlooking the potential of unlabeled data due to the absence of promptable cues. In this paper, we propose SAMIX, a novel framework that adapts SAM2 into a semantic-aware pseudo-label generator SA-SAM2 by incorporating a lightweight semantic adapter. Beyond being guided by sparse spatial prompts, SA-SAM2 facilitates dense contextual prompts provided by valuable image-mask reference pairs with shared semantics. Another core component of SAMIX is the Selecting Policy Network (SPNet), which auto-regressively retrieves relevant and complementary reference samples for each query image. Unlike rule-based selections, SPNet is trained via reinforcement learning to actively explore reference combinations that maximize pseudo-label quality. Guided by customized and verifiable rewards associated with mask quality, the selection is directed toward semantically informative and diverse contexts. We conduct extensive experiments on two general datasets (PASCAL VOC 2012 and Cityscapes) and two specific datasets with ambiguous boundaries (camouflaged object detection and image polyp segmentation). Across diverse mix-supervision settings, SAMIX consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance. Codes are available at https://github.com/Huster-Hq/SAMIX.

CrackSSM: Reviving SSMs for Crack Segmentation via Dynamic Scanning

Yubin Gu, Boyang Hou, Yuan Meng, Wenting Luo, Jiayi Ji, Xiaoshuai Sun

展开摘要

Crack segmentation (CS) is crucial for structural inspection and maintenance in production scenarios. To achieve both high accuracy and efficiency, recent methods have adopted Mamba-based architectures built upon state space models (SSMs), which enable linear-complexity modeling of long-range dependencies. However, existing approaches typically rely on static multi-directional scanning to flatten visual features into sequences. This fixed flattening order disrupts spatial continuity and weakens the SSM's ability to model irregular crack patterns effectively. To address this limitation, we propose CrackSSM, a novel crack-aware segmentation framework featuring a dynamic scanning strategy that adapts the token sequence to the underlying structure of each image. Specifically, we compute directional response strength along four orientations from high-level semantic features, and use these values to reorder tokens so that crack-relevant regions remain adjacent in sequence. This alignment improves the causal modeling ability of SSMs while preserving their efficiency and better suits the irregular, fine-grained nature of cracks. Additionally, we design a wavelet-guided decoding mechanism to recover detailed features. It incorporates high-frequency components extracted from the input image and applies them to guide feature refinement and edge-aware fusion, further enhancing segmentation precision. Experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method achieves superior segmentation accuracy with fewer parameters and faster inference compared to existing state-of-the-art models. The source code for this work is available at https://github.com/hby123123/CrackSSM.

Make it SING: Analyzing Semantic Invariants in Classifiers

Harel Yadid, Meir Yossef Levi, Roy Betser, Guy Gilboa

展开摘要

All classifiers, including state-of-the-art vision models, possess invariants, partially rooted in the geometry of their linear mappings. These invariants, which reside in the null-space of the classifier, induce equivalent sets of inputs that map to identical outputs. The semantic content of these invariants remains vague, as existing approaches struggle to provide human-interpretable information. To address this gap, we present Semantic Interpretation of the Null-space Geometry (SING), a method that constructs equivalent images, with respect to the network, and assigns semantic interpretations to the available variations. We use a mapping from network features to multi-modal vision language models. This allows us to obtain natural language descriptions and visual examples of the induced semantic shifts. SING can be applied to a single image, uncovering local invariants, or to sets of images, allowing a breadth of statistical analysis at the class and model levels. For example, our method reveals that ResNet50 leaks relevant semantic attributes to the null space, whereas DINO-ViT, a ViT pretrained with self-supervised DINO, is superior in maintaining class semantics across the invariant space.

Harmonized Feature Conditioning and Frequency-Prompt Personalization for Multi-Rater Medical Segmentation

Sanaz Karimijafarbigloo, Armin Khosravi, Alireza Kheyrkhah, Reza Azad, Mauricio Reyes, Dorit Merhof

展开摘要

Multi-rater medical image segmentation captures the inherent ambiguity of clinical interpretation, where diagnostic boundaries vary across experts and imaging devices. Existing approaches often reduce this diversity to consensus labels or treat rater differences as noise, resulting in overconfident and poorly calibrated models. We propose a harmonized probabilistic framework that disentangles acquisition artifacts from genuine annotator variability through adaptive feature conditioning and frequency-domain personalization. A lightweight Harmonizer Network implicitly models scanner-specific artifacts and performs dynamic feature modulation to standardize latent representations, ensuring that uncertainty reflects anatomy rather than noise. To represent rater-specific styles, we introduce High-Frequency Prompt Modules that operate in the spectral domain to encode annotator-dependent boundary precision and textural sensitivity. These prompts adaptively modulate harmonized features to produce personalized yet anatomically consistent segmentations. Furthermore, a Generalized Energy Distance (GED)-based regularization aligns the generative distribution with empirical annotation variability, promoting diversity where experts disagree and consensus where they converge. Experiments on LIDC-IDRI and NPC-170 show SOTA aggregated and individualized segmentation, with notable GED reductions and improved Dice scores, especially on noisy cases. Beyond accuracy, the model exhibits clinically meaningful uncertainty, confidence rises in agreement regions and declines in ambiguous areas, supporting its use as a reliable and interpretable tool for multi-expert clinical workflows.

ST4R-Splat: Spatio-Temporal Referring Segmentation in 4D Gaussian Splatting

Yuming Meng, Dong Wu, Hongbin Zha

展开摘要

Understanding objects in dynamic 4D environments via natural language is crucial yet underexplored. While existing methods focus on static 3D referring segmentation or open-vocabulary 4D querying, they struggle to ground complex spatio-temporal referring expressions in explicit 4D reconstructions. We introduce Spatio-Temporal Referring Segmentation in 4D Gaussian Splatting (STRS-4DGS), a novel task aiming to jointly identify and segment a target instance across space and time given a referring expression. To tackle this, we propose ST4R-Splat, the first framework for STRS-4DGS. Specifically, our framework incorporates an Instance-Aware 4D Gaussian Referring Field that assigns time-invariant embeddings for robust spatial grounding, and an Instance-Level Temporal State Mapping module that enables view-independent temporal localization directly in feature space. To provide rich spatio-temporal semantic supervision, we develop an automatic, MLLM-based captioning pipeline that generates decoupled spatial and temporal textual descriptions. Evaluated on our newly constructed STRS-4DGS benchmark, our method significantly outperforms adapted state-of-the-art baselines across both time-agnostic and time-sensitive metrics, establishing a strong foundation for language-driven 4D scene understanding.
