OpenSUN3D

4th Workshop on Open-World 3D Scene Understanding with Foundation Models

in conjunction with CVPR June 11 (or June 12), 2025 in Nashville, USA.

Introduction

The ability to perceive, understand and interact with arbitrary 3D environments is a long-standing goal in research with applications in AR/VR, health, robotics and so on. Current 3D scene understanding models are largely limited to low-level recognition tasks such as object detection or semantic segmentation, and do not generalize well beyond the a pre-defined set of training labels. More recently, large visual-language models (VLM), such as CLIP, have demonstrated impressive capabilities trained solely on internet-scale image-language pairs. Some initial works have shown that these models have the potential to extend 3D scene understanding not only to open set recognition, but also offer additional applications such as affordances, materials, activities, and properties of unseen environments. The goal of this workshop is to bundle these efforts and to discuss and establish clear task definitions, evaluation metrics, and benchmark datasets.

Keynote Speakers






Paper Track

We invite 8-page full papers for inclusion in the proceedings, as well as 4-page extended abstractsb, which may present new or previously published work but will not be included in the proceedings. 4-page extended abstracts generally do not conflict with the dual submission policies of other conferences, whereas 8-page full papers, if accepted, will be part of the proceedings and are therefor subject to the dual submission policy (i.e., they cannot be under review for another conference at the same time or already accepted at another conference). All submissions should follow the official CVPR 2025 template.

Challenge

This year, we host a challenge on the SceneFun3D benchmark which focuses on fine-grained functionality and affordance understanding in 3D indoor environments. It consists of two tracks, functionality segmentation and open-vocabulary 3D affordance grounding. Below, you will find key resources and important dates.
