Abstract

3D visual question answering can help people understand spatial information, which has a broad application prospect in early childhood education. The 3D scene information is complex, and most of the existing methods answer directly. It is easy to ignore the context information in the scene when facing complex problems, which leads to the performance degradation. To address this problem, this paper proposed a 3D visual question answering method based on sub-question asymptotic reasoning, which constructed multiple simple sub-questions for complex original question through text analysis. The model learnt context information in the process of answering the sub-questions to help understand the meaning of the complex question, and finally used the accumulated joint information to derive the answers to the original question. The sub-questions presented an asymptotic reasoning relationship with the original question, which made the model have explicit error interpretation and traceability. Experiments conducted on the ScanQA dataset show that, the proposed method achieves 51.49% and 61.68% for the two evaluation metrics EM@10 and CIDEr, both exceeding other existing methods, confirming the effectiveness of the method.
