arXiv:2608.00518v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 3D visual grounding aims to localize the target object in a 3D scene from a natural language query, requiring both fine-grained semantic understanding and viewpoint-dependent spatial reasoning. Existing methods typically formulate semantic understanding as an auxiliary closed-set object classification task and rely on multi-view feature aggregation for viewpoint reasoning, limiting semantic generalization and weakening viewpoint-specific evidence. We observe that vision-language models naturally provide complementary capabilities through open-vocabulary semantic understanding and global scene perception. Based on this insight, we propose GuideGround, a VLM-guided framework that complements rather than replaces task-specific grounding models by leveraging VLMs for semantic enhancement and viewpoint-specific hypothesis verification.
