Modern autonomous driving (AD) systems leverage 3D object detection to perceive foreground objects in 3D environments for subsequent prediction and planning. Visual 3D detection based on RGB cameras provides a cost-effective solution compared to the LiDAR paradigm. While achieving promising detection accuracy, current deep neural network-based models remain highly susceptible to adversarial examples. The underlying safety concerns motivate us to investigate realistic adversarial attacks in AD scenarios. Previous work has demonstrated the feasibility of placing adversarial posters on the road surface to induce hallucinations in the detector. However, the unnatural appearance of the posters makes them easily noticeable by humans, and their fixed content can be readily targeted and defended. To address these limitations, we propose the AdvRoad to generate diverse road-style adversarial posters. The adversaries have naturalistic appearances resembling the road surface while compromising the detector to perceive non-existent objects at the attack locations. We employ a two-stage approach, termed Road-Style Adversary Generation and Scenario-Associated Adaptation, to maximize the attack effectiveness on the input scene while ensuring the natural appearance of the poster, allowing the attack to be carried out stealthily without drawing human attention. Extensive experiments show that AdvRoad generalizes well to different detectors, scenes, and spoofing locations. Moreover, physical attacks further demonstrate the practical threats in real-world environments.

Large and high-quality motion datasets are essential for advancing human motion modeling. However, limitations of existing motion datasets, such as insufficient scale or inadequate quality, significantly hinder the progress of this field. To address these limitations, we introduce Mimic-X, a large-scale (52 hours), physically plausible 3D human motion dataset. To construct Mimic-X, we develop an adaptive option framework that controls a physically simulated character to imitate low-quality motions extracted from a vast collection of online videos. Specifically, we first apply hierarchical clustering to group motions into clusters, and then train option policies to mimic motions sampled from these clusters. Considering the noisy nature of low-quality motions, we utilize a separate encoder for each cluster to map the noisy motions within the cluster into a compact latent space. This significantly enhances the quality of the imitated motions while accelerating the learning process. Subsequently, we employ dynamic programming as a meta-policy to efficiently organize the option policies to generate complete motion clips. Finally, we perform fine-tuning to each motion sequence to further refine motion quality. The proposed adaptive option framework outperforms state-of-the-art human motion recovery methods across various evaluation metrics, demonstrating that motions in Mimic-X exhibit higher quality and greater physical plausibility. Furthermore, experimental results show that Mimic-X enhances the performance of motion generation methods, verifying its effectiveness for motion modeling tasks.

While diffusion models show promise for intent-based grasp generation, their isotropic noise schedules struggle with joint-specific sensitivity and task-aware variability. This limitation leads to grasps with suboptimal semantic alignment or physical feasibility. To address this challenge, we propose Semantic-guided Noise Scaling for grasp generation (SNS-Grasp), a novel framework that integrates two key innovations. First, the Semantic-guided Noise Scaling Diffusion (SNS-Diff) module generates intent-aware grasps by replacing isotropic noise with anisotropic modulation, dynamically adapting to task semantics and joint-specific sensitivity. Specifically, SNS-Diff leverages a pretrained Intent Recognizer to extract task-aware confidence scores and joint-specific gradient sensitivities from the interaction context. These signals adjust the noise scaling during denoising, downweighting perturbations for semantically critical joints to ensure semantic alignment. Second, the Fine-grained Grasp Refinement (FGR) module establishes dynamic joint-vertex coupling through fine-grained hand-object spatial relationships, enabling iterative optimization of physically executable grasps. Extensive experiments on OakInk and GRAB demonstrate SNS-Grasp's superior performance in semantic accuracy and physical feasibility, with robust generalization to unseen objects.

Underwater image enhancement (UIE) aims to address image degradation caused by water absorption and scattering effects. Despite significant progress in deep learning-based UIE methods, existing approaches still face key challenges due to the neglect of physical imaging principle. Moreover, while current Mamba models achieve global modeling via multi-directional scanning, their local sequential strategy lacks sufficient global context. To this end, we propose a novel Physical Model-Guided Global Mamba (PGMamba) that combines the efficient sequential modeling capability of Mamba with underwater imaging physical model. Specifically, we first design a Spatial-Aware Global Mamba (SAGMamba) that achieves efficient long-range dependency modeling through a spatial-aware ranking strategy with global context information. Second, we develop a Physical Model-Guided Feed-Forward Network (PMGFFN) that explicitly incorporates underwater optical imaging principles into the network architecture. Extensive experimental results and comprehensive ablation studies demonstrate the outstanding performance and importance of our proposed method.

Recent advances in text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have significantly improved semantic image editing, yet most methods fall short in performing 3D-aware object manipulation. In this work, we present FFSE, a 3D-aware autoregressive framework designed to enable intuitive, physically-consistent object editing directly on real-world images. Unlike previous approaches that either operate in image space or require slow and error-prone 3D reconstruction, FFSE models editing as a sequence of learned 3D transformations, allowing users to perform arbitrary manipulations, such as translation, scaling, and rotation, while preserving realistic background effects (e.g., shadows, reflections) and maintaining global scene consistency across multiple editing rounds. To support learning of multi-round 3D-aware object manipulation, we introduce 3DObjectEditor, a hybrid dataset constructed from simulated editing sequences across diverse objects and scenes, enabling effective training under multi-round and dynamic conditions. Extensive experiments show that the proposed FFSE significantly outperforms existing methods in both single-round and multi-round 3D-aware editing scenarios.

Recent advances in dance generation have enabled the automatic synthesis of 3D dance motions. However, existing methods still face significant challenges in simultaneously achieving high realism, precise dance-music synchronization, diverse motion expression, and physical plausibility. To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach that leverages a generative masked text-to-motion model as a distribution prior to learn a probabilistic mapping from diverse guidance signals, including music, genre, and pose, into high-quality dance motion sequences. Our framework also supports semantic motion editing, such as motion inpainting and body part modification. Specifically, we introduce a multi-tower masked motion model that integrates a text-conditioned masked motion backbone with two parallel, modality-specific branches: a music-guidance tower and a pose-guidance tower. The model is trained using synchronized and progressive masked training, which allows effective infusion of the pretrained text-to-motion prior into the dance synthesis process while enabling each guidance branch to optimize independently through its own loss function, mitigating gradient interference. During inference, we introduce classifier-free logits guidance and pose-guided token optimization to strengthen the influence of music, genre, and pose signals. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method sets a new state of the art in dance generation, significantly advancing the quality and editability over existing approaches.

Recently, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved significant advancements across various domains, and corresponding evaluation benchmarks have been continuously refined and improved. In this process, benchmarks in the scientific domain have played an important role in assessing the reasoning capabilities of MLLMs. However, existing benchmarks still face three key challenges: 1) Insufficient evaluation of models' reasoning abilities in multilingual scenarios; 2) Inadequate assessment of MLLMs' comprehensive modality coverage; 3) Lack of fine-grained annotation of scientific knowledge points. To address these gaps, we propose MME-SCI, a comprehensive and challenging benchmark. We carefully collected 1,019 high-quality question-answer pairs, which involve 3 distinct evaluation modes. These pairs cover four subjects, namely mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, and support five languages: Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Japanese. We conducted extensive experiments on 16 open-source models and 4 closed-source models, and the results demonstrate that MME-SCI is widely challenging for existing MLLMs. For instance, under the Image-only evaluation mode, o4-mini achieved accuracy of only 52.11%, 24.73%, 36.57%, and 29.80% in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, respectively, indicating a significantly higher difficulty level compared to existing benchmarks. More importantly, using MME-SCI's multilingual and fine-grained knowledge attributes, we analyzed existing models' performance in depth and identified their weaknesses in specific domains. For example, in questions related to "Magnetic Field", o4-mini correctly answered only 5 out of 33 questions, thereby fine-grainedly exposing the model's vulnerabilities. These findings highlight the urgent need to enhance the scientific reasoning capabilities of MLLMs.

We propose a novel Auto-Regressive (AR) image generation approach that models images as hierarchical compositions of interpretable visual layers. While AR models have achieved transformative success in language modeling, replicating this success in vision remains challenging due to inherent spatial dependencies in images. Addressing the unique challenges of vision tasks, our method (CART) adds image details iteratively via semantically meaningful decompositions. We demonstrate the flexibility and generality of CART by applying it across three distinct decomposition strategies: (i) Base-Detail Decomposition (Mumford-Shah smoothness), (ii) Intrinsic Decomposition (albedo/shading), and (iii) Specularity Decomposition (diffuse/specular). This “next-detail" strategy outperforms traditional “next-token" and “next-scale" approaches, improving controllability, semantic interpretability, and resolution scalability. Experiments show CART generates visually compelling results while enabling structured image manipulation, opening new directions for controllable generative modeling via physically or perceptually motivated image factorization.

Virtual Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining technology employs generative models to directly synthesize IHC images from Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) images, reducing reliance on chemical staining while improving diagnostic efficiency and reducing costs. However, existing virtual staining methods relying on adjacent sections face two critical challenges: insufficient mining of pathological semantics and the spatial misalignment of pathological semantics due to physical discrepancies between sections. To address these, we propose GSGStain, a Graph-Semantic Guided Learning for virtual Staining. Our method innovatively transforms the problem from pixel space to graph space, enabling semantic noise correction for spatial misalignment features. Specifically, to capture the rich pathological semantics, we construct a cell graph from the H&E image to encode tissue architecture, annotating nodes with noisy biomarker semantic features derived from misaligned adjacent IHC sections. Furthermore, to correct for the semantic misalignment, a Graph Semantic Rectification Module (GSRM) then refines these features using graph contextual reasoning, while a Graph Semantic Consistency Loss ensures alignment between generated IHC images and rectified semantics. Additionally, we propose a dual-branch discriminator to compel the generator to match the empirical distribution of real images, significantly improving generation quality. Extensive experiments on two public benchmarks demonstrate that GSGStain significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both image quality and pathological consistency. This work establishes a new paradigm for semantically robust virtual staining.

While much research has recently focused on generating physics-based adversarial samples, a critical yet often overlooked category originates from physical failures within on-board cameras—components essential to the perception systems of autonomous vehicles. Camera failures, whether due to external stresses causing hardware breakdown or internal component faults, can directly jeopardize the safety and reliability of autonomous driving systems. Firstly, we motivate the study using two separate real-world experiments to showcase that indeed glass failures would cause the detection based neural network models to fail. Secondly, we develop a simulation-based study using the physical process of the glass breakage to create perturbed scenarios, representing a realistic class of physics-based adversarial samples. Using a finite element model (FEM)-based approach, we generate surface cracks on the camera image by applying a stress field defined by particles within a triangular mesh. Lastly, we use physically-based rendering (PBR) techniques to provide realistic visualizations of these physically plausible fractures. To assess the safety implications, we apply the simulated broken glass effects as image filters to two autonomous driving datasets- KITTI and BDD100K- as well as the large-scale image detection dataset MS-COCO. We then evaluate detection failure rates for critical object classes using CNN-based object detection models (YOLOv8 and Faster R-CNN) and a transformer-based architecture with Pyramid Vision Transformers. To further investigate the distributional impact of these visual distortions, we compute the Kullback-Leibler (K-L) divergence between three distinct data distributions, applying various broken glass filters to a custom dataset (captured through a cracked windshield), as well as the KITTI and Kaggle cats and dogs datasets. The K-L divergence analysis suggests that these broken glass filters do not introduce significant distributional shifts. Our goal is to provide a robust, physics-based methodology for generating adversarial samples that reflect real-world camera failures, with the overarching aim of improving the resilience and safety of autonomous driving systems against such physical threats.

Large-scale scene data is essential for training and testing in robot learning. Neural reconstruction methods have promised the capability of reconstructing large physically-grounded outdoor scenes from captured sensor data. However, these methods have baked-in static environments and only allow for limited scene control -- they are functionally constrained in scene and trajectory diversity by the captures from which they are reconstructed. In contrast, generating driving data with recent image or video diffusion models offers control, however, at the cost of geometry grounding and causality. In this work, we aim to bridge this gap and present a method that directly generates large-scale 3D driving scenes with accurate geometry, allowing for causal novel view synthesis with object permanence and explicit 3D geometry estimation. The proposed method combines the generation of a proxy geometry and environment representation with score distillation from learned 2D image priors. We find that this approach allows for high controllability, enabling the prompt-guided geometry and high-fidelity texture and structure that can be conditioned on map layouts -- producing realistic and geometrically consistent 3D generations of complex driving scenes.

Human-Scene Interaction (HSI) seeks to generate realistic human behaviors within complex environments, yet it faces significant challenges in handling long-horizon, high-level tasks and generalizing to unseen scenes. To address these limitations, we introduce FantasyHSI, a novel HSI framework centered on video generation and multi-agent systems that operates without paired data. We model the complex interaction process as a dynamic directed graph, upon which we build a collaborative multi-agent system. This system comprises a scene navigator agent for environmental perception and high-level path planning, and a planning agent that decomposes long-horizon goals into atomic actions. Critically, we introduce a critic agent that establishes a closed-loop feedback mechanism by evaluating the deviation between generated actions and the planned path. This allows for the dynamic correction of trajectory drifts caused by the stochasticity of the generative model, thereby ensuring long-term logical consistency. To enhance the physical realism of the generated motions, we leverage Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) to train the action generator, significantly reducing artifacts such as limb distortion and foot-sliding. Extensive experiments on our custom SceneBench benchmark demonstrate that FantasyHSI significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of generalization, long-horizon task completion, and physical realism.

Adversarial patch attacks inject localized perturbations into images to mislead deep vision models. These attacks can be physically deployed, posing serious risks to real-world applications. In this paper, we propose CertMask, a certifiably robust defense that constructs a provably sufficient set of binary masks to neutralize patch effects with strong theoretical guarantees. While the state-of-the-art approach (PatchCleanser) requires two rounds of masking and incurs O(n^2) inference cost, CertMask performs only a single round of masking with O(n) time complexity, where n is the cardinality of the mask set to cover an input image. Our proposed mask set is computed using a mathematically rigorous coverage strategy that ensures each possible patch location is covered at least k times, providing both efficiency and robustness. We offer a theoretical analysis of the coverage condition and prove its sufficiency for certification. Experiments on ImageNet, ImageNette, and CIFAR-10 show that CertMask improves certified robust accuracy by up to +13.4% over PatchCleanser, while maintaining clean accuracy nearly identical to the vanilla model.

Although large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated promising versatile capabilities on various downstream tasks, they are shown to be susceptible to adversarial examples. Existing LVLM attackers simply implement adversarial patterns in an impracticable setting: i) add digital global perturbations to entire input image; ii) access prior knowledge of LVLMs for optimization; iii) do not consider realistic transformations. These make them difficult to deploy in the physical-world attack scenarios. Motivated by the research gap and counter-practice phenomenon, this paper proposes the first practical LVLM attack method based on a novel adversarial patch design, which can achieve physical and digital attack settings without using any LVLM details. In particular, we introduce adversarial homogeneous constraints in both spatial and spectral domains to improve the patch stealthy for resisting potential real-world defenses. Besides, we also develop a new technique for synthesizing reasonably realistic transformations that capture the expected patch appearance variations in daily life. Extensive experiments are conducted to verify the strong adversarial capabilities of our proposed attack against prevalent LVLMs spanning a spectrum of tasks.

Garment simulation is fundamental to various applications in computer vision and graphics, from virtual try-on to digital human modelling. However, conventional physics-based methods remain computationally expensive, hindering their application in time-sensitive scenarios. While graph neural networks (GNNs) offer promising acceleration, existing approaches exhibit poor cross-resolution generalisation, demonstrating significant performance degradation on higher-resolution meshes beyond the training distribution. This stems from two key factors: (1) existing GNNs employ fixed message-passing depth that fails to adapt information aggregation to mesh density variation, and (2) vertex-wise displacement magnitudes are inherently resolution-dependent in garment simulation. To address these issues, we introduce Propagation-before-Update Graph Network (Pb4U-GNet), a resolution-adaptive framework that decouples message propagation from feature updates. Pb4U-GNet incorporates two key mechanisms: (1) dynamic propagation depth control, adjusting message-passing iterations based on mesh resolution, and (2) geometry-aware update scaling, which scales predictions according to local mesh characteristics. Extensive experiments show that even trained solely on low-resolution meshes, Pb4U-GNet exhibits strong generalisability across diverse mesh resolutions, addressing a fundamental challenge in neural garment simulation.

Spatio-temporal alignment is crucial for temporal modeling of end-to-end (E2E) perception in autonomous driving (AD), providing valuable structural and textural prior information. Existing methods typically rely on the attention mechanism to align objects across frames, simplifying the motion model with a unified explicit physical model (constant velocity, etc.). These approaches prefer semantic features for implicit alignment, challenging the importance of explicit motion modeling in the traditional perception paradigm. However, variations in motion states and object features across categories and frames render this alignment suboptimal. To address this, we propose HAT, a spatio-temporal alignment module that allows each object to adaptively decode the optimal alignment proposal from multiple hypotheses without direct supervision. Specifically, HAT first utilizes multiple explicit motion models to generate spatial anchors and motion-aware feature proposals for historical instances. It then performs multi-hypothesis decoding by incorporating semantic and motion cues embedded in cached object queries, ultimately providing the optimal alignment proposal for the target frame. On nuScenes, HAT consistently improves 3D temporal detectors and trackers across diverse baselines. It achieves state-of-the-art tracking results with 46.0% AMOTA on the test set when paired with the DETR3D detector. In an object-centric E2E AD method, HAT enhances perception accuracy (+1.3% mAP, +3.1% AMOTA) and reduces the collision rate by 32%. When semantics are corrupted (nuScenes-C), the enhancement of motion modeling by HAT enables more robust perception and planning in the E2E AD.

Accurate reconstruction of 3D vehicle pose and shape from monocular images is challenging, particularly for distant objects in autonomous driving. Existing methods often suffer from geometric ambiguity in depth estimation and structural hollowness in shape recovery, primarily due to inadequate multi-scale feature aggregation and unflexible prior modeling. To overcome these limitations, MonoVPR is proposed, a novel framework integrating dynamic context adaptation and progressive geometry refinement. Specifically, a Hierarchical Dual-Context Attention (HDCA) module is introduced to resolve scale-dependent degradation through gated cross-attention across multi-resolution feature maps, dynamically fusing object-centric geometric cues with scene-centric semantics. For shape refinement, the Bounded Iterative Mesh Refiner (BIMR) progressively optimizes template-guided deformations via multi-head attention and a tanh-bounded correction loop, ensuring physically plausible reconstructions.Extensive experiments on the ApolloCar3D benchmark demonstrate MonoVPR achieves state-of-the-art performance, showing exceptional capability in reconstructing geometrically consistent shapes and precise poses for challenging long-range scenarios.

LiDAR-based 3D object detection models often struggle to generalize to real-world environments due to limited object diversity in existing datasets. To tackle it, we introduce the first generalized cross-domain few-shot (GCFS) task in 3D object detection, aiming to adapt a source-pretrained model to both common and novel classes in a new domain with only few-shot annotations. We propose a unified framework that learns stable target semantics under limited supervision by bridging 2D open-set semantics with 3D spatial reasoning. Specifically, an image-guided multi-modal fusion injects transferable 2D semantic cues into the 3D pipeline via vision-language models, while a physically-aware box search enhances 2D-to-3D alignment via LiDAR priors. To capture class-specific semantics from sparse data, we further introduce contrastive-enhanced prototype learning, which encodes few-shot instances into discriminative semantic anchors and stabilizes representation learning. Extensive experiments on GCFS benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness and generality of our approach in realistic deployment settings.

Millimeter-wave radar offers a privacy-preserving and environment-robust alternative to vision-based sensing, enabling human motion analysis in challenging conditions such as low light, occlusions, rain, or smoke. However, its sparse point clouds pose significant challenges for semantic understanding. We present RadarLLM, the first framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) for human motion understanding from radar signals. RadarLLM introduces two key innovations: (1) a motion-guided radar tokenizer based on our Aggregate VQ-VAE architecture, integrating deformable body templates and masked trajectory modeling to convert spatial-temporal radar sequences into compact semantic tokens; and (2) a radar-aware language model that establishes cross-modal alignment between radar and text in a shared embedding space. To overcome the scarcity of paired radar-text data, we generate a realistic radar-text dataset from motion-text datasets with a physics-aware synthesis pipeline. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world benchmarks show that RadarLLM achieves state-of-the-art performance, enabling robust and interpretable motion understanding under privacy and visibility constraints, even in adverse environments.

4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a reliable, non-invasive approach for estimating blood flow velocities, vital for cardiovascular diagnostics. Unlike conventional MRI focused on anatomical structures, 4D flow MRI requires high spatiotemporal resolution for early detection of critical conditions such as stenosis or aneurysms. However, achieving such resolution typically results in prolonged scan times, creating a trade-off between acquisition speed and prediction accuracy. Recent studies have leveraged physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for super-resolution of MRI data, but their practical applicability is limited as the prohibitively slow training process must be performed for each patient. To overcome this limitation, we propose PINGS-X, a novel framework modeling high-resolution flow velocities using axes-aligned spatiotemporal Gaussian representations. Inspired by the effectiveness of 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) in novel view synthesis, PINGS-X extends this concept through several non-trivial novel innovations: (i) normalized Gaussian splatting with a formal convergence guarantee, (ii) axes-aligned Gaussians that simplify training for high-dimensional data while preserving accuracy and the convergence guarantee, and (iii) a Gaussian merging procedure to prevent degenerate solutions and boost computational efficiency. Experimental results on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and real 4D flow MRI datasets demonstrate that PINGS-X substantially reduces training time while achieving superior super-resolution accuracy.
