To address the limitations of Transformer decoders in capturing edge details, recognizing local textures and modeling spatial continuity, this paper proposes a novel decoder framework specifically designed for medical image segmentation, comprising three core modules. First, the Adaptive Cross-Fusion Attention (ACFA) module integrates channel feature enhancement with spatial attention mechanisms and introduces learnable guidance in three directions (planar, horizontal, and vertical) to enhance responsiveness to key regions and structural orientations. Second, the Triple Feature Fusion Attention (TFFA) module fuses features from Spatial, Fourier and Wavelet domains, achieving joint frequency-spatial representation that strengthens global dependency and structural modeling while preserving local information such as edges and textures, making it particularly effective in complex and blurred boundary scenarios. Finally, the Structural-aware Multi-scale Masking Module (SMMM) optimizes the skip connections between encoder and decoder by leveraging multi-scale context and structural saliency filtering, effectively reducing feature redundancy and improving semantic interaction quality. Working synergistically, these modules not only address the shortcomings of traditional decoders but also significantly enhance performance in high-precision tasks such as tumor segmentation and organ boundary extraction, improving both segmentation accuracy and model generalization. Experimental results demonstrate that this framework provides an efficient and practical solution for medical image segmentation.

Multimodal 3D object detection for autonomous driving, a task for real-world applications, poses substantial challenges in maintaining robust performance under various perturbations and complex environmental conditions. However, most existing approaches primarily focus on performance optimization under relatively ideal scenarios or focus on one or few disturbing conditions (or adverse conditions), lacking systematic exploration of robustness against real-world factors, including high class imbalance, adverse weather conditions, sensor jitter and failures, and significant scene variations. To address this issue, we propose a robust multimodal 3D detector, termed RobusTor3D, which integrates robustness at both the structural and supervisory levels by blending the knowledge from Vision-Language Models (VLMs). Structurally, textual descriptions are incorporated to enhance the semantic richness and diversity of rare classes. This novel semantic injection operation compensates for the inherent class imbalance and modality weakness in conventional visual features. Furthermore, semantic alignment capability and robust representation by Vision-Language Knowledge Extraction (V-LKE) serve as semantic priors to complement modality-specific representations, significantly improving model adaptability. At the supervisory level, we propose a Scene-level Multimodal Consistency Learning (SMCL) strategy, which jointly enforces global semantic constraints across modalities, encouraging the learning of stable and abundant semantic representations. This special design specifically reduces the impact of spatial alignment, while notably enabling semantic compensation under modality-loss conditions. Extensive robustness experiments conducted on KITTI, KITTI-C, and CADC benchmarks evaluate five robustness aspects, including long-tail problem, adverse weather (rain, snow, fog, strong sunlight), sensor spatial misalignment and motion blur, modality loss, and cross-domain scenarios. The results show that RobusTor3D demonstrates superior robustness across all five evaluated aspects. It consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art methods under various challenging conditions.

Visual language models (VLMs) have made significant progress in image captioning tasks, yet recent studies have found they are vulnerable to backdoor attacks. Attackers can inject undetectable perturbations into the data during inference, triggering abnormal behavior and generating malicious captions. These attacks are particularly challenging to detect and defend against due to the stealthiness and cross-modal propagation of the trigger signals. In this paper, we identify two key vulnerabilities by analyzing existing attack patterns: (1) the model exhibits abnormal attention concentration on certain regions of the input image, and (2) backdoor attacks often induce semantic drift and sentence incoherence. Based on these insights, we propose Semantic Reward Defense (SRD), a reinforcement learning framework that mitigates backdoor behavior without requiring any prior knowledge of trigger patterns. SRD learns to apply discrete perturbations to sensitive contextual regions of image inputs via a deep Q-network policy, aiming to confuse attention and disrupt the activation of malicious paths. To guide policy optimization, we design a reward signal named semantic fidelity score, which jointly assesses the semantic consistency and linguistic fluency of the generated captions, encouraging the agent to achieve a robust yet faithful output. SRD offers a trigger-agnostic, policy-interpretable defense paradigm that effectively mitigates local (TrojVLM) and global (Shadowcast) backdoor attacks, reducing ASR to 3.6% and 5.6% respectively, with less than 15% average CIDEr drop on the clean inputs.

Recently, 3D Gaussian Splatting for scene rendering has attracted much attention in computer vision and graphics, but generally suffers from large burdens of both computation and storage when handling large-scale scenes. Some existing works in literature employ a divide-and-conquer strategy for alleviating this issue, where an input large scene is divided into lots of local blocks, and each block is handled separately. However, such a strategy generally leads to limited performance due to the inevitable inconsistency among the 3D Gaussians from different blocks. To address this problem, we propose a Consistent Anchor Guided Gaussian Splatting for large-scale scene rendering under the divide-and-conquer strategy, called CAG-GS. In CAG-GS, a set of learnable anchors for each local block is injected with the corresponding semantic features from a pre-trained semantic segmentation model SAM2 through an explored semantic mapping module, and then these anchors are used to predict the attributes of 3D Gaussians. Moreover, we explore a coarse-to-fine training strategy for CAG-GS, where each local block is optimized independently while being guided by globally consistent semantics. Extensive experimental results on five large-scale scenes demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over five state-of-the-art methods in most cases.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become a crucial tool in Visual Question Answering (VQA) for handling knowledge-intensive questions in few-shot or zero-shot scenarios. However, their reliance on massive training datasets often causes them to inherit language biases during the acquisition of knowledge. This limitation imposes two key constraints on existing methods: (1) LLM predictions become less reliable due to bias exploitation, and (2) despite strong knowledge reasoning capabilities, LLMs still struggle with out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization. To address these issues, we propose Object Attribute Description Promoter (OAD-Promoter), a novel approach for enhancing LLM-based VQA by mitigating language bias and improving domain-shift robustness. OAD-Promoter comprises three components: the Object-concentrated Example Generation (OEG) module, the Memory Knowledge Assistance (MKA) module, and the OAD Prompt. The OEG module generates global captions and object-concentrated samples, jointly enhancing visual information input to the LLM and mitigating bias through complementary global and regional visual cues. The MKA module assists the LLM in handling OOD samples by retrieving relevant knowledge from stored examples to support questions from unseen domains. Finally, the OAD Prompt integrates the outputs of the preceding modules to optimize LLM inference. Experiments demonstrate that OAD-Promoter significantly improves the performance of LLM-based VQA methods in few-shot or zero-shot settings, achieving new state-of-the-art results.

Recent self-supervised image segmentation models have achieved promising performance on semantic segmentation and class-agnostic instance segmentation. However, their pretraining schedule is multi-stage, requiring a time-consuming pseudo-masks generation process between each training epoch. This time-consuming offline process not only makes it difficult to scale with training dataset size, but also leads to sub-optimal solutions due to its discontinuous optimization routine. To solve these, we first present a novel pseudo-mask algorithm, Fast Universal Agglomerative Pooling (UniAP). Each layer of UniAP can identify groups of similar nodes in parallel, allowing to generate both semantic-level and instance-level and multi-granular pseudo-masks within ens of milliseconds for one image. Based on the fast UniAP, we propose the Scalable Self-Supervised Universal Segmentation (S2-UniSeg), which employs a student and a momentum teacher for continuous pretraining. A novel segmentation-oriented pretext task, Query-wise Self-Distillation (QuerySD), is proposed to pretrain S2-UniSeg to learn the local-to-global correspondences. Under the same setting, S2-UniSeg outperforms the SOTA UnSAM model, achieving notable improvements of AP+6.9 on COCO, AR+11.1 on UVO, PixelAcc+4.5 on COCOStuff-27, RQ+8.0 on Cityscapes. After scaling up to a larger 2M-image subset of SA-1B, S2-UniSeg further achieves performance gains on all four benchmarks.

In this paper, MoEG-HOI is proposed as a novel method for the challenging 3D hand-object interaction (HOI) motion generation task, by introducing Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) to this field for the first time. Almost all the mainstream approaches in HOI motion generation leverage diffusion model as its strong generative ability. Nevertheless, due to HOI’s fine-grained property, well training diffusion in one-stage way is actually not trivial. Existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods (e.g.,Text2HOI and MF-MDM) alleviate this mainly via a coarse-to-fine, multi-stage paradigm. Although effective and practical, this paradigm prevents end-to-end training for optimal performance. In contrast, MoEG-HOI applies MoE to address this in one-stage way, with end-to-end training ability. This allows each expert to specialize in certain distinct HOI patterns, which alleviates individual expert’s training difficulty. However, intuitively applying MoE is not optimal due to the issues of: (1) towards expert design, original MoE cannot well characterize hand’s articulated structure at the levels of hand, finger, and joint explicitly, and (2) for expert routing mechanism, the characteristics of variational HOI action classes and diffusion noise levels have not been concerned. Towards the first problem, MoE’s experts are designed into groups that correspond to motion generation for hand, finger, and joint respectively, under the semantic guidance from global to local. To facilitate this, HOI’s text description will be correspondingly refined at Hand-Finger-Joint levels using LLM. Secondly, during MoE routing, the information of HOI’s action label and diffusion noise level is concerned to select experts jointly, to better reveal actions’ inter-class variation and dynamics of diffusion generation. SOTA performance on ARCTIC, GRAB and H2O datasets demonstrates the effectiveness of our method.

We present FoundationSLAM, a learning-based monocular dense SLAM system that addresses the absence of geometric consistency in previous flow-based approaches for accurate and robust tracking and mapping. Our core idea is to bridge flow estimation with geometric reasoning by leveraging the guidance from foundation depth models. To this end, we first develop a Hybrid Flow Network that produces geometry-aware correspondences, enabling consistent depth and pose inference across diverse keyframes. To enforce global consistency, we propose a Bi-Consistent Bundle Adjustment Layer that jointly optimizes keyframe pose and depth under multi-view constraints. Furthermore, we introduce a Reliability-Aware Refinement mechanism that dynamically adapts the flow update process by distinguishing between reliable and uncertain regions, forming a closed feedback loop between matching and optimization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FoundationSLAM achieves superior trajectory accuracy and dense reconstruction quality across multiple challenging datasets, while running in real-time at 18 FPS, demonstrating strong generalization to various scenarios and practical applicability of our method.

Task-oriented dexterous grasping remains challenging in robotic manipulations of open-world objects under severe partial observation, where significant missing data invalidates generic shape completion. In this paper, to overcome this limitation, we study \emph{Task-Oriented Shape Completion}, a new task that focuses on completing the potential contact regions rather than the entire shape. We argue that shape completion for grasping should be explicitly guided by the downstream manipulation task. To achieve this, we first generate multiple task-oriented shape completion candidates by leveraging the zero-shot capabilities of object functional understanding from several pre-trained foundation models. A 3D discriminative autoencoder is then proposed to evaluate the plausibility of each generated candidate and optimize the most plausible one from a global perspective. A conditional flow-matching model named FlowGrasp is developed to generate task-oriented dexterous grasps from the optimized shape. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in task-oriented dexterous grasping and task-oriented shape completion, improving the Grasp Displacement and the Chamfer Distance over the state-of-the-art by 16.17% and 55.26%, respectively. In particular, it shows good capabilities in grasping objects with severe missing data. It also demonstrates good generality in handling open-set categories and tasks.

Video-based human pose estimation has long been a nontrivial task due to its dynamic nature and challenging detection scenarios such as occlusion and defocus. Inspired by the success of diffusion models, researchers have applied them to video pose estimation, outperforming traditional joint detection methods. However, existing diffusion model-based methods still face challenges like slow convergence and unstable pose generation. To tackle these issues, we propose DiffusionPose, a novel framework for video pose estimation that integrates diffusion models with optimization strategies: (1) We combine the emerging Mamba with Transformers to balance global and local spatio-temporal modeling. (2) We integrate Markov Random Fields into the reverse diffusion process to enhance the denoising of pose heatmaps, particularly addressing the issue of confused generation of occluded joints. (3) We mathematically formulate a Markov objective to supervise the heatmap denoising process, enabling the model to generate anatomically plausible skeletons. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on three large-scale benchmark datasets. Interestingly, it shows surprising robustness in challenging video scenarios, improving the accuracy of the most difficult ankle joint by 16.9% compared to the previous best diffusion model-based method on the Challenging-PoseTrack dataset.

Diffusion Transformer (DiT)-based video diffusion models generate high-quality videos at scale but incur prohibitive processing latency and memory costs for long videos. To address this, we propose a novel distributed inference strategy, termed DualParal. The core idea is that, instead of generating an entire video on a single GPU, we parallelize computation by partitioning both video frames and model layers across multiple GPUs. However, a naive parallel implementation is not feasible. Because all frames need to share the same noise level, they can't be processed independently. Instead, every step must wait for all others to finish, which cancels out the speed benefits of parallel processing. We overcome this obstacle with a block-wise denoising scheme. Namely, we segment the video into sequential blocks, each with a different noise level. As a result, we process them in a pipeline across the GPUs. Each GPU, holding a subset of the model layers, processes a specific block of frames and passes the results to the next GPU, enabling asynchronous computation and communication. To further optimize performance, we incorporate two key enhancements. Firstly, each GPU uses a feature cache technique to reduce the overhead of smooth transitions by reusing only features involved in cross-frame computation from the prior block, minimizing inter-GPU communication and redundant computation. Secondly, we employ a coordinated noise initialization strategy, ensuring globally consistent temporal dynamics by sharing initial noise patterns across GPUs. Together, these enable fast, artifact-free, and infinitely long video generation. Applied to the latest diffusion transformer video generator, our method efficiently produces 1,025-frame videos with up to 6.54x lower latency and 1.48x lower memory cost on 8xRTX 4090 GPUs.

Unsupervised visible-infrared person re-identification (USVI-ReID) aims to match individuals across visible and infrared cameras without relying on any annotation. Given the significant gap across visible and infrared modality, estimating reliable cross-modality association becomes a major challenge in USVI-ReID. Existing methods usually adopt optimal transport to associate the intra-modality clusters, which is prone to propagating the local cluster errors, and also overlooks global instance-level relations. By mining and attending to the visible-infrared modality bias, this paper focuses on addressing cross-modality learning from two aspects: bias-mitigated global association and modality-invariant representation learning. Motivated by the camera-aware distance rectification in single-modality re-ID, we propose modality-aware Jaccard distance to mitigate the distance bias caused by modality discrepancy, so that more reliable cross-modality associations can be estimated through global clustering. To further improve cross-modality representation learning, a `split-and-contrast' strategy is designed to obtain modality-specific global prototypes. By explicitly aligning these prototypes under global association guidance, modality-invariant yet ID-discriminative representation learning can be achieved. While conceptually simple, our method obtains state-of-the-art performance on benchmark VI-ReID datasets and outperforms existing methods by a significant margin, validating its effectiveness.

Score Distillation Sampling has driven recent advances in text-to-3D generation. However, current approaches often fail to produce 3D assets that are both rich in detail and consistent across viewpoints. These limitations primarily arise from imbalanced guidance on fine-grained details and an overdependence on single-view optimization—issues exacerbated by the excessive randomness in selecting diffusion timesteps and camera configurations. Such deficiencies commonly lead to blurry textures and inter-view inconsistencies, which degrade visual realism and hinder practical deployment. To tackle these challenges, we introduce CoGrad3D, a unified generative refinement framework that adopts a continuously adaptive optimization strategy. By dynamically modulating the optimization focus based on real-time convergence signals, CoGrad3D ensures balanced progress toward both geometric completeness and high-fidelity detail. Concretely, we propose an adaptive region sampling strategy that emphasizes under-converged viewing areas, promoting stable and uniform optimization. To facilitate the transition from coarse geometry to fine-grained reconstruction, we develop a region-aware temporal scheduling scheme that integrates global training dynamics with local convergence feedback. Furthermore, we introduce a gradient fusion mechanism that consolidates historical gradients from adjacent viewpoints, mitigating view-specific artifacts and promoting the emergence of coherent 3D structures. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CoGrad3D substantially surpasses existing methods in both geometric consistency and texture fidelity, enabling the generation of high-quality, view-consistent 3D models from textual descriptions.

Diffusion models have emerged as state-of-the-art generative methods, particularly excelling in conditional tasks such as prompt-driven image synthesis. While recent research emphasizes the pivotal role of noise seeds in enhancing text-image alignment and generating human-preferred outputs,these works predominantly rely on random Gaussian noise or heuristic local adjustments, , overlooking the potential of global optimization trategies to systematically improve generation quality. To bridge this gap, we propose Seed Optimization based on Evolution (SOE), a hybrid framework that integrates global evolutionary search with local semantic refinement. The global evolutionary stage conducts seed selection by jointly optimizing text-image alignment (via CLIP-Score) and human preference estimation (via ImageReward), while the local stage employs diffusion inversion to inject conditional semantics into the noise seed. Together, these components constitute a model-agnostic, training-free optimization framework for conditional diffusion models. Extensive experiments across various diffusion models demonstrate that SOE consistently improves semantic fidelity and visual quality, highlighting its generalizability and potential as a plug-and-play enhancement for generative diffusion pipelines.

Reconstructing fine-grained geometry of clothed human from single-view image is a challenging task, particularly in accurately recovering complex shapes and generating clothes details. To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach named HumanPro, which estimates high-quality human normals via a generative model, and progressively deforms a parametric body into the final clothed human mesh guided by normals. First, we propose a geometry-aware latent diffusion model with a normal enhancer to estimate high-quality human normals from four views. Then, we propose a progressive mesh optimization consisting of shape-aware deformation alignment and global-to-patch detail refinement for human mesh reconstruction. The shape-aware deformation alignment applies image morphing to learn the shape-level gap of normals, addressing large-scale deformation of complex clothes. It can recover the overall silhouette of a clothed human, and serves as an initialization for the global-to-patch detail refinement. Our detail refinement combines global and patch-wise optimization strategies to iteratively produce the clothed human mesh by minimizing the pixel-level difference of normals. This way effectively recovers fine-grained details while avoiding local minima. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HumanPro can deal with various challenging scenarios and outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

We present TrackGS, a novel method to integrate global feature tracks with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for COLMAP-free novel view synthesis. While 3DGS delivers impressive rendering quality, its reliance on accurate precomputed camera parameters remains a significant limitation. Existing COLMAP-free approaches depend on local constraints that fail in complex scenarios. Our key innovation lies in leveraging feature tracks to establish global geometric constraints, enabling simultaneous optimization of camera parameters and 3D Gaussians. Specifically, we: (1) introduce track-constrained Gaussians that serve as geometric anchors, (2) propose novel 2D and 3D track losses to enforce multi-view consistency, and (3) derive differentiable formulations for camera intrinsics optimization. Extensive experiments on challenging real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, with much lower pose error than previous methods while maintaining superior rendering quality. Our approach eliminates the need for COLMAP preprocessing, making 3DGS more accessible for practical applications.

Diffusion-based generative models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in image synthesis, yet realistic hand generation remains a persistent challenge due to complex articulations, self-occlusion, and the lack of explicit structural guidance. To address these issues, we present SGMHand, a novel structure-guided hand inpainting framework that explicitly injects topological priors to enhance structural fidelity and spatial precision. Specifically, we present a structure-guided modulation (SGM) module that synergistically combines structure spatial attention with global feature calibration, enabling fine-grained geometric control over the generative process. Then, we devise a keypoint-aware (KA) loss that enforces topological coherence by aligning attention activations with structures, thereby bridging the gap between high-level semantics and low-level geometry. By jointly optimizing over structural constraints in both representation and learning objectives, SGMHand achieves semantically consistent and geometrically plausible hand synthesis, even under severe occlusion. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and strong generalization ability of SGMHand across various foundation models, significantly enhancing the quality and realism of human image synthesis in diverse scenarios.

Vision transformers (ViTs) have recently been widely applied to 3D point cloud understanding, with masked autoencoding as the predominant pre-training paradigm. However, the challenge of learning dense and informative semantic features from point clouds via standard ViTs remains underexplored. We propose MaskClu, a novel unsupervised pre-training method for ViTs on 3D point clouds that integrates masked point modeling with clustering-based learning. MaskClu is designed to reconstruct both cluster assignments and cluster centers from masked point clouds, thus encouraging the model to capture dense semantic information. Additionally, we introduce a global contrastive learning mechanism that enhances instance-level feature learning by contrasting different masked views of the same point cloud. By jointly optimizing these complementary objectives, i.e., dense semantic reconstruction, and instance-level contrastive learning. MaskClu enables ViTs to learn richer and more semantically meaningful representations from 3D point clouds. We validate the effectiveness of MaskClu via multiple 3D tasks, including part segmentation, semantic segmentation, object detection, and classification, setting new competitive results.

Domain-adaptive person search (DAPS) aims to transfer pedestrian detection and re-identification capabilities from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain, yet faces critical challenges from domain shift: semantic confusion among overlapping instances, over-reliance on shallow features for look-alike targets, and poor discriminability of small-scale instances. To address these issues, we propose the Localization-Anchored Instance Discrimination (LAID) framework, which leverages spatial relationships between bounding boxes as auxiliary signals to enhance instance identity learning. LAID integrates three complementary strategies: 1) Cost-Aware Instance Matching (CAIM) uses IoU-based global optimal assignment to align current detections with historical identities, reducing overlap-induced misassociations; 2) Dual-Scope Contrastive Learning (DSCL) combines spatial separation constraints (for geometrically distant pairs) with global contrastive learning, prompting the model to learn deep discriminative features beyond superficial similarities; 3) Task-Sensitivity Alignment (TSA) aligns confidence distributions of detection and ReID heads via KL divergence, ensuring consistent pseudo-label generation. Extensive experiments on CUHK-SYSU and PRW datasets demonstrate that LAID outperforms state-of-the-art DAPS methods, validating its effectiveness in mitigating domain shift and narrowing the performance gap between supervised and domain-adaptive person search.

Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) methods often incorporate auxiliary tasks to improve performance. However, existing approaches face limitations due to insufficient integration and a lack of flexible uncertainty estimation, leading to suboptimal performance. To address these challenges, we propose a multitasks-based Deep Evidential Fusion Network (DEFNet) for BIQA, which performs multitask optimization with the assistance of scene and distortion type classification tasks. To achieve a more robust and reliable representation, we design a novel trustworthy information fusion strategy. It first combines diverse features and patterns across sub-regions to enhance information richness, and then performs local-global information fusion by balancing fine-grained details with coarse-grained context. Moreover, DEFNet exploits advanced uncertainty estimation technique inspired by evidential learning with the help of normal-inverse gamma distribution mixture. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and authentic distortion datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed framework. Additional evaluation and analysis are carried out to highlight its strong generalization capability and adaptability to previously unseen scenarios.
