Memory Over Maps: 3D Object Localization Without Reconstruction

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.20530v1 Announce Type: cross Target localization is a prerequisite for embodied tasks such as navigation and manipulation. Conventional approaches rely on constructing explicit 3D scene representations to enable target localization, such as point clouds, voxel grids, or scene graphs. While effective, these pipelines incur substantial mapping time, storage overhead, and scalability limitations.
