VoxProg: 3D Spatial Reasoning through Voxel Programming

Özet

Language models' abilities to interpret tasks and generate programs offer a promising basis for 3D spatial reasoning. Yet following spatial instructions in 3D scenes requires programs to construct geometric references that language leaves implicit. In this work, we introduce VoxProg, which formulates 3D object placement through voxel programming: a language model translates task interpretations into executable programs over local voxel views of scene surfaces. Because these views index surface geometry on regular grids with explicit coordinates and neighborhood relations, an evidence program can isolate task-relevant regions and boundaries directly from scene meshes, and a downstream pose program can measure the resulting geometry to compute a target $SE(3)$ pose. Visual and numerical feedback from execution lets the model inspect intermediate selections and candidate placements to iteratively revise its code. To evaluate open-ended placement across functional use, geometric fit, and contextual arrangements, we introduce the 71-task VoxProg-Bench benchmark along with an evaluation suite pairing perceptual Intent Alignment and 3D Physical Validity. Across VoxProg-Bench and external benchmarks, VoxProg consistently outperforms relation-based, keypoint-based, and mesh-based baselines.
