OASIS-Map: Object-Level Change Detection in Multi-Session Mapping using Semantic Correspondence Matching

Haedam Oh, Yifu Tao, Nived Chebrolu, Maurice Fallon

Map representations which are consistent across repeated visits to a real-world semi-static environment are very useful for long-term robotic inspection. In such settings, the scene may evolve while the robot is absent, with objects appearing, disappearing, moving, or being replaced, quickly making a static map outdated. Existing change-detection methods reason through geometry, category-level semantics, or object persistence. However, achieving reliable object association across revisits remains a key challenge, especially under partial views, occlusion, and imperfect segmentation. In this work, we propose OASIS-Map, a multi-session mapping system that maintains a spatio-temporally consistent object-level map by establishing dense patch-level semantic correspondences between temporal observations. These correspondences detect where the scene has changed and incrementally associate objects across revisits as the robot re-observes the environment. We demonstrate OASIS-Map on three challenging real-world scenarios: object rearrangements in 3RScan, visually similar car replacements in a car park, and large-scale scene changes in an outdoor market. We achieve 0.783 F1 on change detection in a car replacement scenario in a car park and 0.667 F1 on moved object association in 3RScan. https://dynamic.robots.ox.ac.uk/projects/oasis-map/

A Stereo Visual SLAM System Using Object-Level Motion Estimation and Geometric Filtering Based on Cross Disparity

Sujan Kumar Dhali, Bhaskar Dasgupta

This paper presents OCD SLAM, a dynamic stereo visual SLAM framework that extends ORB-SLAM2 by jointly addressing dynamic objects and dynamic features in the scene. Usual visual SLAM systems operating in dynamic environments often fail in the presence of moving objects, due to th…

Hydra++: Real-Time Hierarchical 3D Scene Graph Construction With Object-Level Shape Estimation

Hyungtae Lim, Nathan Hughes, Xihang Yu, Ruihan Xu, Yun Chang, Jingnan Shi, et al.

3D scene graphs provide a hierarchical abstraction of environments by encoding spatial entities, such as objects and places, and their relationships. However, existing scene graph systems model object geometry coarsely, relying on partial point clouds or class-level CAD templates…

Beyond Point-Attached Semantics: Object-Centric Semantic Fields for Generalizable Manipulation

Zheng Sun, Lerong Zhang, Zhihao Li, Zhuo Li, Quentin Rouxel, Fei Chen

Generalizable robot manipulation requires stable 3D understanding of functional object parts, such as handles, tool heads, openings, and graspable regions. Raw point clouds provide geometry but lack explicit part semantics, and their sampled points vary with viewpoint, sensor con…

Where Am I? Semantic Map Grounding via Vision-Language Models for Multi-Modal Localization

Suraj Borate, Aarav Shah, Madhu Vadali

We address robot localization in GPS-denied indoor environments by reframing it as a semantic reasoning task rather than a geometric estimation problem. Motivated by how humans localize using object-level cues and labeled maps, we ask whether a vision-language model, given a fron…
