BridgeAfford: Bridging Query-Target Gap for Generalizable 3D Affordance Grounding

Language-guided 3D affordance grounding aims to localize functional regions on 3D objects according to interaction intents.

Key points

  • One challenge is the query-target gap: a semantic discrepancy between query features encoding interaction intents and target-region features, leading to inaccurate grounding.
  • To address this issue, we propose BridgeAfford, a framework that reduces the query-target semantic gap from two complementary perspectives.
  • First, Interaction Region Alignment (IRA) promotes cross-object alignment among geometrically similar interaction regions during training.
  • Second, Visual Evidence Aggregation (VEA) leverages a 2D affordance model to refine the attention distribution and guide the query toward the correct region, yielding more target-aware queries.
