The pith

FSTM improves indoor reconstruction by training geometry first without semantic supervision, then adding semantics, achieving 2.3x faster training and higher object surface recall than joint optimization.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

Creating accurate 3D models of indoor spaces like rooms and offices is useful for many technologies, from self-driving robots to virtual reality. Recent methods use neural networks to represent the shape of surfaces with something called signed distance functions, which tell how close any point in space is to the nearest surface. To make these models more useful, researchers also want to know what each part of the scene represents, such as whether a surface is a wall, floor, or piece of furniture. Previous approaches tried to learn both the shape and these meanings at the same time, but this joint training is slow and doesn't scale well to large scenes. The new method, called FSTM, changes the order of learning. It first focuses only on getting the geometry right by using color images and some basic geometric information. After the shape is learned, it then trains the network to assign semantic labels to different parts of the scene. Experiments show that this separation helps a lot. The training happens 2.3 times faster on one dataset, and the models are better at handling real-world data that has imperfections. Importantly, it can recover the surfaces of more objects in the scene than methods that learn everything together. By keeping the approach simple without adding special modules, FSTM demonstrates that careful ordering of the learning steps can lead to better and more efficient results in 3D reconstruction.

Core claim

By first optimising geometry without semantic supervision, we observe substantial improvements compared to the standard joint optimisation.

Load-bearing premise

That a geometry warm-up phase using only RGB inputs and geometric cues provides a sufficiently accurate and unbiased base for subsequent semantic field estimation without missing or distorting semantic information.

Neural Surface Reconstruction has become a standard methodology for indoor 3D reconstruction, with Signed Distance Functions (SDFs) proving particularly effective for representing scene geometry. A variety of applications require a detailed understanding of the scene context, driving the need for object-level semantic signals. While recent methods successfully integrate semantic labels, they often inherit the slow training time and limited scalability of multi-SDF learning. In this paper, we introduce FSTM, a unified approach for learning geometry and semantics through a two-step process: a geometry warm-up using RGB inputs and geometric cues, followed by semantic field estimation. By first optimising geometry without semantic supervision, we observe substantial improvements compared to the standard joint optimisation. Rather than relying on specialised modules or complex multi-SDF designs, FSTM shows that a streamlined formulation is sufficient to achieve strong geometric and semantic reconstructions. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world indoor datasets show that our method outperforms multi-SDF approaches. It trains 2.3x faster on Replica, improves robustness to real-world imperfections on ScanNet++, and achieves higher recall by recovering the surfaces of more objects in the scene. The code will be made available at https://remichierchia.github.io/FSTM.

Referee Report

3 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper introduces FSTM, a two-phase neural surface reconstruction method for indoor scenes: a geometry warm-up phase using only RGB inputs and geometric cues (without semantic supervision), followed by semantic field estimation. It claims this separation yields substantial gains over standard joint optimization of geometry and semantics, including 2.3x faster training on Replica, improved robustness to real-world imperfections on ScanNet++, and higher recall by recovering surfaces of more objects, all without specialized modules or multi-SDF designs.

Significance. If the reported gains hold under controlled comparisons, the work would demonstrate that a simple ordering of optimization objectives can outperform more complex joint or multi-SDF formulations, potentially improving training efficiency and scalability for semantic indoor reconstruction. The promise of releasing code is a positive factor for reproducibility.

major comments (3)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract: The central claim of 'substantial improvements' (2.3x speedup on Replica, higher robustness on ScanNet++, higher object recall) is asserted without any reported metrics, baselines, ablation controls, or quantitative tables, preventing verification that the two-phase ordering itself drives the gains rather than training schedule or total iterations.
  2. [Method] Method (two-step process description): It is not specified whether geometry parameters are frozen after the warm-up phase or continue to receive gradients during semantic field estimation; if the latter, the advantage may reduce to a loss-weighting schedule that could be replicated inside a single joint optimization loop, undermining the claim that explicit separation is required.
  3. [Experiments] Experiments: No details are provided on how the 'standard joint optimisation' baseline is implemented (e.g., loss weights, iteration counts, or whether it matches total compute of the two-phase procedure), making it impossible to isolate the effect of the geometry-first ordering from confounding factors such as curriculum effects.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] The abstract introduces the acronym FSTM without expansion; this should be spelled out on first use.
  2. [Related Work] The claim that the method 'avoids specialised modules' would benefit from a brief comparison table listing the architectural components of the cited multi-SDF baselines.

  1. Referee: [Abstract] Abstract: The central claim of 'substantial improvements' (2.3x speedup on Replica, higher robustness on ScanNet++, higher object recall) is asserted without any reported metrics, baselines, ablation controls, or quantitative tables, preventing verification that the two-phase ordering itself drives the gains rather than training schedule or total iterations.

    Authors: While the abstract summarizes the main results, the full quantitative evidence, including metrics, baselines, and ablations, is presented in the Experiments section with supporting tables and figures. To better highlight the claims, we will revise the abstract to incorporate specific numerical values for the speedup and recall improvements. This will make the central claims more verifiable directly from the abstract while referring readers to the detailed comparisons that isolate the effect of the two-phase ordering. revision: partial

  2. Referee: [Method] Method (two-step process description): It is not specified whether geometry parameters are frozen after the warm-up phase or continue to receive gradients during semantic field estimation; if the latter, the advantage may reduce to a loss-weighting schedule that could be replicated inside a single joint optimization loop, undermining the claim that explicit separation is required.

    Authors: The geometry parameters continue to be updated during the semantic field estimation phase. However, the two-phase approach differs from a simple loss-weighting schedule in a joint optimization because the warm-up phase allows the network to first learn a high-quality geometric representation without the influence of semantic losses, which can otherwise lead to suboptimal geometry. Our experiments include comparisons to joint optimization with different weighting schemes, demonstrating the superiority of the explicit separation. We will explicitly state this in the Method section and include a diagram or pseudocode clarifying the optimization flow. revision: yes

  3. Referee: [Experiments] Experiments: No details are provided on how the 'standard joint optimisation' baseline is implemented (e.g., loss weights, iteration counts, or whether it matches total compute of the two-phase procedure), making it impossible to isolate the effect of the geometry-first ordering from confounding factors such as curriculum effects.

    Authors: We agree that additional details are required for reproducibility and fair comparison. In the revised manuscript, we will describe the implementation of the joint optimization baseline, specifying the loss weights used, the total iteration count (matched to the two-phase method's total compute), and include ablations that control for curriculum effects by varying the introduction of semantic losses in a single loop. This will confirm that the gains are due to the geometry-first ordering. revision: yes
