Vision Pretraining for Dense Spatial Perception 文章

arXiv:2607.05247v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dense spatial perception is essential for physical intelligence, where visual systems are expected to recover structured, metric, and actionable representations from pixel observations. Modern visual foundation models tend to prioritize semantic invariance, often at the expense of detailed spatial understanding. In this work, we study vision pretraining through a boundary-centric lens, motivated by the premise that boundaries and shape discontinuities offer essential cues for perceiving geometric properties. Concretely, we propose masked boundary modeling, a self-supervised paradigm that dynamically learns sub-pixel boundary representations and subsequently leverages the discovered boundary-bearing tokens as masked targets to facilitate dense visual token learning. By scaling this framework, we develop LingBot-Vision and demonstrate its efficacy across a diverse set of downstream vision tasks with DINOv3 as a strong baseline.
