Abstract
With the current surge in spatial reasoning, researchers have made significant progress in understanding indoor scenes, but still struggle with more diverse applications. This paper aims to advance all-scale spatial reasoning by tackling two key challenges: 1) the heavy reliance on indoor 3D scans and labor-intensive annotations for dataset curation; 2) the absence of all-scale modeling, which often leads to overfitting to single scenes. In this paper, we introduce a holistic solution that integrates a structured spatial reasoning knowledge system, scale-aware modeling, and a progressive training paradigm, as the first attempt to broaden the scope of all-scale spatial intelligence. Using a task-specific, specialistdriven automated pipeline, we curate over 38K video scenes across 5 spatial scales to create SpaceVista-1M, a dataset comprising 1M spatial QAs spanning 19 diverse tasks. While specialist models offer valuable domain knowledge, they are often unreliable evaluators. Therefore, we build an all-scale benchmark with precise annotations by manually recording and retrieving videos. Nevertheless, naive training with SpaceVista-1M often yields suboptimal results due to the potential knowledge conflict. Accordingly, we introduce SpaceVista-7B, a spatial reasoning model that accepts inputs beyond semantics and uses scale as an anchor for scale-aware experts and progressive rewards. Finally, extensive evaluations across 5 benchmarks, including our SpaceVista-Bench, demonstrate competitive performance, showcasing generalization across all scales and scenarios. Our demo page is posted on website. * Equal contribution † Indicates project leader.
