3D semantic scene completion plays a critical role in enabling various downstream tasks within autonomous systems by estimating both missing geometric structures and semantic information in scene data. In this work, we introduce a unique neural framework that integrates state space modeling with diffusion-based generative approaches to enhance 3D point cloud semantic scene completion. We propose \textit{MPath Mamba} diffusion network, leveraging a skip-triple Mamba structure, dimensional decomposition residuals, and multi-directional dilations within multi-path data to efficiently process long-sequence data for feature extraction. The proposed method operates in the conditioned latent space of a variational autoencoder, enhanced by a state-space mechanism to improve 3D point cloud representation and reconstruction. Extensive experiments conducted on the SemanticKITTI benchmark demonstrate that our approach achieves highly competitive performance for 3D point cloud semantic scene completion.
