CrossView Suite: Harnessing Cross-view Spatial Intelligence of MLLMs with Dataset, Model and Benchmark

Abstract: Spatial intelligence requires multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) to move beyond single-view perception and reason consistently about objects, visibility, geometry, and interactions across multiple viewpoints. However, progress in cross-view reasoning remains limited by three major gaps: the scarcity of large-scale well-annotated training data, the lack of comprehensive benchmarks for systematic evaluation, and the absence of explicit alignment mechanisms that establish object-level consistency across views. To address these gaps, we thoroughly develop CrossView Suite across three coordinated components: CrossViewSet, CrossViewBench, and CrossViewer. Firstly, we introduce a multi-agent data engine to meticulously curate a large-scale, high-quality cross-view instruction dataset, termed CrossViewSet, covering 17 fine-grained task types with 1.6M samples. Second, we meticulously create a scene-disjoint CrossViewBench to comprehensively assess the cross-view spatial understanding capability of an MLLM, evaluating it across various aspects. Finally, we propose CrossViewer, a progressive three-stage framework for cross-view spatial reasoning in MLLMs, following a Perception -> Alignment -> Reasoning paradigm. Our method equips an adaptive spatial region tokenizer to capture fine-grained object representations, and then aligns the multi-view objects explicitly, and thus fuses aligned features for boosting the cross-view inference capacity for MLLMs. Extensive experiments and analyses show that large-scale training data, systematic evaluation, and explicit cross-view alignment are all critical for advancing MLLMs from single-view perception toward real-world spatial intelligence.
