📝 摘要（中文）

近年来，大型基础模型在多个场景中表现出色，但由于3D数据的稀缺，现有的2D到3D适配方法面临空间几何信息损失和计算成本高的问题。本文提出Any2Point，一种参数高效的方法，旨在使任何模态的大模型（如视觉、语言、音频）能够进行3D理解。通过引入3D到任意（1D或2D）虚拟投影策略，本文有效地将3D点与源模态的原始位置相关联，从而避免了真实投影带来的几何损失，并促进了变换器的3D学习。实验结果表明，该方法在效率和效果上均表现优异。

🔬 方法详解

问题定义：本文旨在解决现有2D到3D适配方法在空间几何信息损失和计算成本高的问题。这些方法主要针对2D模型设计，缺乏通用的任意到3D的框架。

核心思路：Any2Point通过引入3D到任意虚拟投影策略，将输入的3D点与源模态的1D或2D位置相关联，从而为每个3D标记分配与预训练模型配对的位置信息，避免了几何信息的损失。

技术框架：该方法的整体架构包括一个任意到3D的引导适配模块，插入到每个变换器块中。该模块利用源模态的空间知识来指导3D标记的局部特征聚合，促进语义适配。

关键创新：最重要的技术创新在于提出了3D到任意的虚拟投影策略和引导适配模块，这与现有方法的设计思路截然不同，能够有效提升3D理解的能力。

关键设计：在参数设置上，Any2Point采用了高效的适配模块设计，确保在微调过程中保持参数的高效性。同时，损失函数设计上结合了空间知识，以增强模型的学习效果。

📄 摘要（原文）

Large foundation models have recently emerged as a prominent focus of interest, attaining superior performance in widespread scenarios. Due to the scarcity of 3D data, many efforts have been made to adapt pre-trained transformers from vision to 3D domains. However, such 2D-to-3D approaches are still limited, due to the potential loss of spatial geometries and high computation cost. More importantly, their frameworks are mainly designed for 2D models, lacking a general any-to-3D paradigm. In this paper, we introduce Any2Point, a parameter-efficient method to empower any-modality large models (vision, language, audio) for 3D understanding. Given a frozen transformer from any source modality, we propose a 3D-to-any (1D or 2D) virtual projection strategy that correlates the input 3D points to the original 1D or 2D positions within the source modality. This mechanism enables us to assign each 3D token with a positional encoding paired with the pre-trained model, which avoids 3D geometry loss caused by the true projection and better motivates the transformer for 3D learning with 1D/2D positional priors. Then, within each transformer block, we insert an any-to-3D guided adapter module for parameter-efficient fine-tuning. The adapter incorporates prior spatial knowledge from the source modality to guide the local feature aggregation of 3D tokens, compelling the semantic adaption of any-modality transformers. We conduct extensive experiments to showcase the effectiveness and efficiency of our method. Code and models are released at https://github.com/Ivan-Tang-3D/Any2Point.
