# ReDiCo: Relay-Mediated Visual Updating for 3D Referring Segmentation

Official pretrained checkpoints for **ReDiCo**, a 3D Referring Expression Segmentation (3D-RES / 3D-GRES) method.

## Model Description

3D Referring Expression Segmentation (3D-RES) aims to produce point-level masks for objects described by natural language in complex 3D scenes. Existing query-based methods usually keep visual tokens largely fixed during decoding, while dense visual self-attention can refresh them but at $O(N_{sp}^2)$ cost.

**ReDiCo** (**Re**lay attention with **Di**versity and **Co**verage regularization) reformulates visual token updating as *token-relay-token* communication: language-guided relay tokens first aggregate global scene information, then distribute the refined context back to the visual stream, reducing the dominant interaction from $O(N_{sp}^2)$ to $O(N_q N_{sp})$ with $N_q \ll N_{sp}$. Geometry-aware relay attention injects 3D spatial proximity into relay assignments, while coverage and diversity regularization on the stage-1 relay-to-visual assignment jointly prevent region omission and relay redundancy.

With 3D+2D inputs, ReDiCo achieves **62.8%** Acc@0.25 / **51.7%** mIoU on 3D-RES (ScanRefer) and **73.8%** Acc@0.25 / **53.7%** mIoU on 3D-GRES (Multi3DRefer), reducing FLOPs by **33.5%** vs. dense self-attention.

Two checkpoints:

| File | Task | Dataset |
|---|---|---|
| `redico_res.pth` | 3D-RES | ScanRefer |
| `redico_gres.pth` | 3D-GRES | Multi3DRefer |

## Metrics (val)

| Task | Dataset | mIoU | Acc@0.5 | Acc@0.25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3D-RES | ScanRefer | 51.7 | 57.1 | 62.8 |
| 3D-GRES | Multi3DRefer | 53.7 | 54.1 | 73.8 |
