Point cloud aware language model enables controllable fine-grained 3D object placement

GALA predicts 6D poses one object at a time, using explicit geometry to handle support, containment and collision constraints that bounding boxes miss.

The authors introduce GALA, a multimodal language model that consumes point clouds to predict 6D object poses for 3D scene arrangement.

GALA is built on an LLM backbone with a point cloud encoder and a projector that maps geometry features into the language embedding space.
