LLM-Supervised Point Cloud Processing: From Unsupervised 3D Scene-Graph Generation to Interactive Scene Manipulation
Abstract. We demonstrate an end-to-end pipeline for 3D scene understanding which integrates unsupervised graph-based point cloud segmentation with LLM-enabled spatial reasoning and editing. A point cloud is segmented into a SemanticPatch decomposition (stage 1), labeled using a zero-shot vision-language model (stage 2; SAMv2, CLIP), encoded into a scene graph in the latent space (stage 3) capturing geometry, topology, and constraints, and finally manipulated by an LLM-based agent (stage 4) to execute a specified editing task. The LLM agent can be instructed by natural language input to reason about a scene graph and a point cloud, compute a geometric transformation for the input point cloud, and check its own output against a set of constraints (e.g. ADA-compliance). We validate our approach on three different point clouds: a classroom (Leica RTC360, 1.3 M points), a construction site (NavVis VLX mobile scanner, 4.4M points), and the Paris-Lille-3D benchmark. Our segmentation approach scores 97–99% on the fitness score and 92–99% on the F1-score across all three benchmarks. Our LLM agent solves reconfiguration tasks in 1–10 min, achieving a 100% constraint-satisfaction rate and outperforming a human annotator.

Abstract. While three-dimensional (3D) point clouds are widely used in civil engineering, mainstream LiDAR systems such as Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) are physically constrained to laboratory environments. Since their laser spot size typically exceeds the width of microcrack…

Abstract. Point-cloud-derived 2D projections enable generating unlimited virtual views for indoor scene analysis and dataset creation. However, projecting irregular 3D samples onto a dense image grid commonly produces void pixels due to sparsity, occlusions, and incomplete scan c…
