ViewStruct: View-Grounded Articulation and Connectivity Inference

We introduce ViewStruct, a framework for jointly predicting connectivity and articulation in objects and scenes.

Key points

  • Interacting with unfamiliar objects requires understanding how their parts connect and move.
  • Given an RGB image with aligned part segmentation and depth, optionally supplemented by images or video, ViewStruct predicts rigid-body groupings, attachments, and joint parameters.
  • A pretrained vision--language model is adapted to predict structure in seconds, without requiring observed articulation motion or per-instance optimisation.
  • Simulated manipulation experiments further demonstrate the utility of predicted joints for generating robot motion trajectories.
