contents Large vision-language models (LVLMs) are increasingly being applied to multi-view image inputs captured from diverse viewpoints. However, despite this growing use, current LVLMs often confuse or mismatch visual information originating from different instances or viewpoints, a phenomenon we term multi-view hallucination. To systematically analyze this problem, we construct MVH-Bench, a benchmark comprising 4.8k question-answer pairs targeting two types of hallucination: cross-instance and cross-view. Empirical results show that recent LVLMs struggle to correctly associate visual evidence with its corresponding instance or viewpoint. To overcome this limitation, we propose Reference Shift Contrastive Decoding (RSCD), a training-free decoding technique that suppresses visual interference by generating negative logits through attention masking. Experiments on MVH-Bench with Qwen2.5-VL and LLaVA-OneVision demonstrate that RSCD consistently improves performance by up to 21.1 and 34.6 points over existing hallucination mitigation methods, highlighting the effectiveness of our approach.
