Image-to-point-cloud (I2P) registration aims to align 2D images with 3D point clouds by establishing reliable 2D-3D correspondences. The drastic modality gap between images and point clouds makes it challenging to learn features that are both discriminative and generalizable, leading to severe performance drops in unseen scenarios. We address this challenge by introducing a heterogeneous graph that enables refining both cross-modal features and correspondences within a unified architecture. The proposed graph represents a mapping between segmented 2D and 3D regions, which enhances cross-modal feature interaction and thus improves feature discriminability. In addition, modeling the consistency among vertices and edges within the graph enables pruning of unreliable correspondences. Building on these insights, we propose a heterogeneous graph embedded I2P registration method, termed Hg-I2P. It learns a heterogeneous graph by mining multi-path feature relationships, adapts features under the guidance of heterogeneous edges, and prunes correspondences using graph-based projection consistency. Experiments on six indoor and outdoor benchmarks under cross-domain setups demonstrate that Hg-I2P significantly outperforms existing methods in both generalization and accuracy. Code is released on https://github.com/anpei96/hg-i2p-demo.

Amodal instance segmentation aims to segment both visible and occluded regions of object instance, which are challenging due to lacking inference support under occlusion. Most existing methods employ the prior knowledge about object mask (shape prior) to support the amodal estimation, but the shape prior is not always compatible for object instances in the test stage. In this paper, we explore the task of interactive amodal segmentation, where a few user clicks are available for better segmenting the complete masks of object instances. For this task, we propose a novel framework based on learning and aligning click-aware shape prior (termed ClickPriorNet). Specifically, we propose to learn click-aware shape prior with triplet loss, which forces the retrieved shape priors to have higher IoU with the ground-truth of target instance and thus could exactly facilitate the prediction. Besides, considering the inevitable mismatch between shape prior and target instance, we propose to adaptively align the shape prior with deformable attention. Overall, our model could make full use of the interactive clicks to retrieve and align shape priors, and thus could estimate more complete masks. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Code is available at https://github.com/chenbys/ClickPriorNet.

We introduce OpenVO, a novel framework for Open-world Visual Odometry (VO) with temporal awareness under limited input conditions. OpenVO effectively estimates real-world-scale ego-motion from monocular dashcam footage with varying observation rates and uncalibrated cameras, enabling robust trajectory dataset construction from rare driving events recorded in dashcam.Existing VO methods are trained on fixed observation frequency (e.g., 10Hz or 12Hz), completely overlooking temporal dynamics information. Many prior methods also require calibrated cameras with known intrinsic parameters. Consequently, their performance degrades when (1) deployed under unseen observation frequencies or (2) applied to uncalibrated cameras. These significantly limit their generalizability to many downstream tasks, such as extracting trajectories from dashcam footage.To address these challenges, OpenVO (1) explicitly encodes temporal dynamics information within a two-frame pose regression framework and (2) leverages 3D geometric priors derived from foundation models. We validate our method on three major autonomous-driving benchmarks - KITTI, nuScenes, and Argoverse 2 - achieving more than 20% performance improvement over state-of-the-art approaches. Under varying observation rate settings, our method is significantly more robust, achieving 46%-92% lower errors across all metrics.These results demonstrate the versatility of OpenVO for real-world 3D reconstruction and diverse downstream applications.

Sign Language Translation (SLT) converts continuous sign videos into spoken language text, yet current models, whether gloss-based or gloss-free, struggle with long or discourse-level inputs. Recent architectures such as TwoStreamNetwork and CV-SLT have nearly saturated short-sentence accuracy, but their performance degrades on long sentences and multi-sentence paragraphs. In real scenarios such as news, interviews or daily conversations, signers naturally produce extended signing sequences with complex contextual dependencies. Moreover, identifying precise gloss boundaries remains a key obstacle, while gloss-based methods, though often superior, incur heavy annotation costs. The community therefore needs a solution that mitigates gloss dependency while preserving translation quality. We present BoostSLT, a context-aware framework for enhancing semantic consistency over long sign sequences without gloss supervision. Instead of requiring explicit gloss segmentation, BoostSLT introduces an Energy-Aware Temporal Segmentation (EAT-Seg) module that dynamically partitions videos into semantically coherent fragments, followed by a Diffusion-based Semantic Reconstruction (DSR) module that stitches and refines fragment-level translations into globally fluent paragraphs. The framework is plug-and-play and model-agnostic, seamlessly integrating with existing gloss-based or gloss-free pipelines across languages. Experiments on PHOENIX-2014T, CSL-Daily, and Auslan-Daily show consistent BLEU and ROUGE-L gains, confirming that diffusion-driven semantic reconstruction effectively bridges local accuracy and global coherence in long-form SLT. Code is available at github.com/K1sna/BoostSLT.

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have emerged as versatile solutions for zero-shot question answering (QA) across various domains. However, enabling VLMs to effectively comprehend structured graphs and perform accurate, efficient QA remains challenging. Existing approaches typically rely on a single type of graph topology representation (GTR) of graphs, such as fixed-style visual images or unified text descriptions. This "one-size-fits-all" strategy often neglects model-specific and task-specific preferences, resulting in inaccurate or overly lengthy responses to graph-related queries. To address this, we propose the DynamicGTR framework, which dynamically selects the optimal GTR for each query during inference, thereby enhancing the zero-shot graph QA capabilities of VLMs with a customizable accuracy and brevity trade-off. Extensive experiments show that DynamicGTR not only improves VLM-based graph algorithm QA performance but also successfully transfers the experience trained from synthetic graph algorithm tasks to real-world applications like link prediction and node classification, without any additional training. Additionally, DynamicGTR demonstrates strong transferability across tasks, domains, and models, suggesting its potential as a flexible solution for broad graph scenarios.

Unsupervised Camouflaged Object Detection (UCOD) remains a challenging task due to the high intrinsic similarity between target objects and their surroundings, as well as the reliance on noisy pseudo-labels that hinder fine-grained texture learning. While existing refinement strategies aim to alleviate label noise, they often overlook intrinsic perceptual cues, leading to boundary overflow and structural ambiguity. In contrast, learning without pseudo-label guidance yields coarse features with significant detail loss. To address these issues, we propose a unified UCOD framework that enhances both the reliability of pseudo-labels and the fidelity of features. Our approach introduces the Multi-Cue Native Perception module, which extracts intrinsic visual priors by integrating low-level texture cues with mid-level semantics, enabling precise alignment between masks and native object information. Additionally, Pseudo-Label Evolution Fusion intelligently refines labels through teacher-student interaction and utilizes depthwise separable convolution for efficient semantic denoising. It also incorporates Spectral Tensor Attention Fusion to effectively balance semantic and structural information through compact spectral aggregation across multi-layer attention maps. Finally, Local Pseudo-Label Refinement plays a pivotal role in local detail optimization by leveraging attention diversity to restore fine textures and enhance boundary fidelity. Extensive experiments on multiple UCOD datasets demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, characterized by superior detail perception, robust boundary alignment, and strong generalization under complex camouflage scenarios.

Multi-modal agents are making rapid progress on general computer-use tasks. However, existing benchmarks remain largely confined to web browsers and rudimentary applications, failing to capture the professional software workflows that dominate real-world scientific and industrial practices. To bridge this gap, we introduce ProSoftArena, a comprehensive benchmark and platform specifically designed for evaluating multi-modal agents in professional software environments. We establish the first five-level capability hierarchy for professional software manipulation, and curate a benchmark of 456 realistic tasks spanning 6 disciplines and 13 core professional applications. To ensure reliable assessment, we build an executable real-computer environment with an execution-based evaluation framework, and uniquely incorporate a human-in-the-loop evaluation paradigm to quantify agents' collaborative efficiency. Extensive experiments show that even the best-performing agent achieves only a 20.6% success rate on software-level tasks (L2) and completely fails on multi-software workflows (L3). Our in-depth analysis further provides valuable insights in current agent limitations and suggests effective design principles for building more capable agents in professional software settings.

Multimodal contrastive learning typically relies on pairwise similarities for alignment, but recent work has shown that Gramian volumes can capture higher-order correlations across modalities. However, Euclidean Gramian volumes suffer from volume collapse under L2 normalization, concentrating near unity with minimal discriminative variance. Hyperbolic geometry's exponential volume growth naturally addresses this via variance preservation, motivating us to extend Gramian alignment to hyperbolic space. Yet preliminary experiments reveal that pure hyperbolic geometry alone is insufficient: while it preserves variance, it underperforms Euclidean baselines on cross-category discrimination. We introduce HyperGRAM, a hybrid geometry framework that combines Euclidean discriminative stability with hyperbolic semantic variance through learnable mixing. Using the numerically stable Lorentz model, HyperGRAM enables volumes to serve dual roles: discriminating matched from mismatched triplets while preserving semantic sensitivity within matched pairs that reflects interpretation spaces (the set of valid multimodal realizations). Evaluation across four video-text benchmarks demonstrates that hybrid geometry consistently outperforms both pure Euclidean and pure hyperbolic variants, achieving significant zero-shot improvements with cross-dataset semantic sensitivity exhibiting contrasting correlation patterns.

Vision Transformers (ViTs) achieve state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of vision tasks, yet they remain highly vulnerable to adversarial perturbations due to the lack of explicit region-level semantic modeling. Adversarial perturbations are typically local and spatially structured, whereas the globally coupled self-attention and spatially uniform feed-forward networks in ViTs propagate local corruptions across the whole image without enforcing consistency within semantically coherent regions. To mitigate this mismatch, we propose Region-aware Mixture-of-Experts, namely "ReMoE", a plug-and-play module that replaces the standard feed-forward network (FFN) with a region-aware expert layer. Specifically, our ReMoE strategically introduces multi-granularity experts (i.e., global, center, and regional) and couples them with an attention-guided routing mechanism that operates on patch-to-region (P2R) and region-to-patch (R2P) transformations. This mechanism adaptively activates the most relevant experts for each spatial location according to its attention profile, enabling the model to capture region-level semantics and local context while preserving global consistency, thereby providing a stronger inductive bias for adversarially robust ViT representations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our ReMoE substantially improves the adversarial robustness of ViTs with only marginal additional computational cost. Our code is available at https://github.com/zhongskr0114/ReMoE.

We present a general optimization-based framework for depth-preserving normal integration. Unlike existing methods that operate on surface orientations defined over regular grids, our approach introduces a unified graph-based formulation capable of integrating semi-differentiable surfaces on unstructured domains. Given a set of points uniformly sampled from a surface, we construct a directed, weighted graph that jointly parameterizes the surface geometry and pairwise point correlations. Surface depth is recovered by minimizing projected point-to-plane distances across the graph, and we attain this objective through variational inference. In our formulation, estimated surface normals serve as latent variables that encode local geometry via the posterior probabilities of a two-component Gaussian mixture, allowing depth discontinuities to be explicitly inferred from sampled triplet configurations. The unknowns are estimated in an alternating fashion, and we provide a geometric interpretation of this inference process by relating it to shape deformation. Experimental results show that the proposed method not only delivers superior performance on regularly gridded data, but also generalizes effectively to scattered points, which existing approaches do not directly support.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a powerful framework that unifies perception, language, and control, enabling robots to perform diverse tasks through multimodal understanding. However, current VLA models typically contain massive parameters and rely heavily on large-scale robot data pretraining, leading to high computational costs during training, as well as limited deployability for real-time inference.Moreover, most training paradigms often degrade the perceptual representations of the Vision-Language backbone, resulting in overfitting and poor generalization to downstream tasks.In this work, we present Evo-1, a lightweight VLA model that reduces computation and improves deployment efficiency, while maintaining strong performance without pretraining on robot data. Evo-1 builds on a native multimodal Vision-Language model (VLM), incorporating a novel cross-modulated diffusion transformer along with an optimized integration module, together forming an effective architecture.We further introduce a two-stage training paradigm that progressively aligns action with perception, preserving the representations of the VLM.Notably, with only 0.77 billion parameters, Evo-1 achieves state-of-the-art results on the Meta-World and RoboTwin suite, surpassing the previous best models by 12.4% and 6.9%, respectively, and also attains a competitive result of 94.8% on LIBERO.In real-world evaluations, Evo-1 attains a 78% success rate with high inference frequency and low memory overhead, outperforming all baseline methods.We release code, data, and model weights to facilitate future research on lightweight and efficient VLA models.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved impressive performance, but their safety alignment remains vulnerable to jailbreak attacks. Existing content-based jailbreaks are often inconsistent and show unsatisfying performance against the rapidly evolving MLLMs, failing to exploit non-content-based vulnerabilities. Unlike previous research, we empirically find that MLLMs exhibit a Stylistic Inconsistency between their comprehension ability and safety ability: MLLMs can robustly understand content regardless of visual style, yet their defense mechanisms can be easily bypassed by specific stylistic triggers. Based on this finding, we propose Adversarial Style Optimization (ASO), a plug-and-play enhancement module to amplify existing visual jailbreaks. ASO fine-tunes an image-editing model to superimpose an optimized stylistic modification onto a given adversarial image, using a Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) agent guided by a Structurally-Tiered Reward Function that combines a logit-based signal for detecting explicit refusals with a high-fidelity semantic evaluation from a powerful judge model. Extensive experiments show that ASO significantly enhances the ASR of SOTA attacks, demonstrating that stylistic biases are a scalable vector for red-teaming MLLMs. Our code is available at https://github.com/bingjunluo/ASO.

Humans do not just see attribute similarity -- we also see relational similarity. An apple is like a peach because both are reddish fruit, but the Earth is also like a peach: its crust, mantle, and core correspond to the peach's skin, flesh, and pit. This ability to perceive and recognize relational similarity, is arguable by cognitive scientist to be what distinguishes humans from other species. Yet, all widely used visual similarity metrics today (e.g., LPIPS, CLIP, DINO) focus solely on perceptual attribute similarity and fail to capture the rich, often surprising relational similarities that humans perceive. How can we go beyond the visible content of an image to capture its relational properties? How can we bring images with the same relational logic closer together in representation space? To answer these questions, we first formulate relational image similarity as a measurable problem: two images are relationally similar when their internal relations or functions among visual elements correspond, even if their visual attributes differ. We then curate 114k image-caption dataset in which the captions are anonymized -- describing the underlying relational logic of the scene rather than its surface content. Using this dataset, we finetune a Vision-Language model to measure the relational similarity between images. This model serves as the first step toward connecting images by their underlying relational structure rather than their visible appearance. Our study shows that while relational similarity has a lot of real-world applications, existing image similarity models fail to capture it -- revealing a critical gap in visual computing.

Open-vocabulary panoptic segmentation remains hindered by two coupled issues: (i) mask selection bias, where objectness heads trained on closed vocabularies suppress masks of categories not observed in training, and (ii) limited regional understanding in vision-language models such as CLIP, which were optimized for global image classification rather than localized segmentation. We introduce OVRCOAT, a simple, modular framework that tackles both. First, a CLIP-conditioned objectness adjustment (COAT) updates background/foreground probabilities, preserving high-quality masks for out-of-vocabulary objects. Second, an open-vocabulary mask-to-text refinement (OVR) strengthens CLIP's region-level alignment to improve classification of both seen and unseen classes with markedly lower memory cost than prior fine-tuning schemes. The two components combine to jointly improve objectness estimation and mask recognition, yielding consistent panoptic gains. Despite its simplicity, OVRCOAT sets a new state of the art on ADE20K (+5.5% PQ) and delivers clear gains on Mapillary Vistas and Cityscapes (+7.1% and +3% PQ, respectively). The code is available here.

Semantic segmentation of ultra-high-resolution (UHR) remote sensing imagery is critical for applications like environmental monitoring and urban planning but faces com- putational and optimization challenges. Conventional methods either lose fine details through downsampling or fragment global context via patch processing. While multi-branch networks ad- dress this trade-off, they suffer from computational inefficiency and conflicting gradient dynamics during training. We propose F2Net, a frequency-aware framework that decomposes UHR images into high- and low-frequency components for specialized processing. The high-frequency branch preserves full-resolution structural details, while the low-frequency branch processes downsampled inputs through dual sub-branches capturing short- and long-range dependencies. A Hybrid-Frequency Fusion mod- ule integrates these observations, guided by two novel objectives: Cross-Frequency Alignment Loss ensures semantic consistency between frequency components, and Cross-Frequency Balance Loss regulates gradient magnitudes across branches to stabilize training. Evaluated on DeepGlobe and Inria Aerial benchmarks, F2Net achieves state-of-the-art performance with mIoU of 80.22 and 83.39, respectively.

To effectively manage the complexities of real-world dynamic environments, continual learning must incrementally acquire, update, and accumulate knowledge from a stream of tasks of different nature - without suffering from catastrophic forgetting of prior knowledge. While this capability is innate to human cognition, it remains a significant challenge for modern deep learning systems. At the heart of this challenge lies the stability-plasticity dilemma: the need to balance leveraging prior knowledge, integrating novel information, and allocating model capacity adaptively based on task complexity and synergy. In this paper, we propose a novel exemplar-free class-incremental continual learning (ExfCCL) framework that addresses these issues through a Hierarchical Exploration-Exploitation (HEE) approach. The core of our method is a HEE-guided efficient neural architecture search (HEE-NAS) that enables a learning-to-adapt backbone via four primitive operations - reuse, new, adapt, and skip - thereby serving as an internal memory that dynamically updates selected components across streaming tasks. To address the task ID inference problem in ExfCCL, we exploit an external memory of task centroids proposed in the prior art. We term our method CHEEM (Continual Hierarchical-Exploration-Exploitation Memory). CHEEM is evaluated on the challenging MTIL and VDD benchmarks using both Tiny and Base Vision Transformers and a proposed holistic Figure-of-Merit (FoM) metric. It significantly outperforms state-of-the-art prompting-based continual learning methods, closely approaching full fine-tuning upper bounds. Furthermore, it learns adaptive model structures tailored to individual tasks in a semantically meaningful way.

Prevailing 3D texture generation methods, which often rely on multi-view fusion, are frequently hindered by inter-view inconsistencies and incomplete coverage of complex surfaces, limiting the fidelity and completeness of the generated content. To overcome these challenges, we introduce TEXTRIX, a native 3D attribute generation framework for high-fidelity texture synthesis and downstream applications such as precise 3D part segmentation. Our approach constructs a latent 3D attribute grid and leverages a Diffusion Transformer equipped with sparse attention, enabling direct coloring of 3D models in volumetric space and fundamentally avoiding the limitations of multi-view fusion. Built upon this native representation, the framework naturally extends to high-precision 3D segmentation by training the same architecture to predict semantic attributes on the grid. Extensive experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on both tasks, producing seamless, high-fidelity textures and accurate 3D part segmentation with precise boundaries.

Generating accurate glyphs for visual text rendering is essential yet challenging. Existing methods typically enhance text rendering by training on a large amount of high-quality scene text images, but the limited coverage of glyph variations and excessive stylization often compromise glyph accuracy, especially for complex or out-of-domain characters. Some methods leverage reinforcement learning to alleviate this issue, yet their reward models usually depend on text recognition systems that are insensitive to fine-grained glyph errors, so images with incorrect glyphs may still receive high rewards. Inspired by Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), we propose ***GlyphPrinter***, a preference-based text rendering method that eliminates reliance on explicit reward models. However, the standard DPO objective only models overall preference between two samples, which is insufficient for visual text rendering where glyph errors typically occur in localized regions. To address this issue, we construct the ***GlyphCorrector*** dataset with region-level glyph preference annotations and propose ***Region-Grouped DPO*** (***R-GDPO***), a region-based objective that optimizes inter- and intra-sample preferences over annotated regions, substantially enhancing glyph accuracy. Furthermore, we introduce ***Regional Reward Guidance***, an inference strategy that samples from an optimal distribution with controllable glyph accuracy. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed GlyphPrinter outperforms existing methods in glyph accuracy while maintaining a favorable balance between stylization and precision.

Diffusion-based generative image compression has demonstrated remarkable potential for achieving realistic reconstruction at ultra-low bitrates. The key to unlocking this potential lies in making the entire compression process content-adaptive, ensuring that the encoder's representation and the decoder's generative prior are dynamically aligned with the semantic and structural characteristics of the input image. However, existing methods suffer from three critical limitations that prevent effective content adaptation. First, isotropic quantization applies a uniform quantization step, failing to adapt to the spatially varying complexity of image content and creating a misalignment with the diffusion model's noise-dependent prior. Second, the information concentration bottleneck---arising from the dimensional mismatch between the high-dimensional noisy latent and the diffusion decoder's fixed input---prevents the model from adaptively preserving essential semantic information in the primary channels. Third, existing textual conditioning strategies either need significant textual bitrate overhead or rely on generic, content-agnostic textual prompts, thereby failing to provide adaptive semantic guidance efficiently. To overcome these limitations, we propose a content-adaptive diffusion-based image codec (CADC) with three technical innovations: 1) an Uncertainty-Guided Adaptive Quantization (UGAQ) method that learns spatial uncertainty maps to adaptively align quantization distortion with content characteristics; 2) an Auxiliary Decoder-Guided Information Concentration (ADGIC) method that uses a lightweight auxiliary decoder to enforce content-aware information preservation in the primary latent channels; and 3) a Bitrate-Free Adaptive Textual Conditioning (BFATC) method that derives content-aware textual descriptions from the auxiliary reconstructed image, enabling semantic guidance without bitrate cost. Comprehensive experimental results show that our codec achieves state-of-the-art perceptual quality at ultra-low bitrates.

3D Gaussian Splatting can exploit frustum culling and level-of-detail strategies to accelerate rendering of scenes containing a large number of primitives. However, the semi-transparent nature of Gaussians prevents the application of another highly effective technique: occlusion culling. We address this limitation by proposing a novel method to learn the viewpoint-dependent visibility function of all Gaussians in a trained model using a small, shared MLP across instances of an asset in a scene. By querying it for Gaussians within the viewing frustum prior to rasterization, our method can discard occluded primitives during rendering. Leveraging Tensor Cores for efficient computation, we integrate these neural queries directly into a novel instanced software rasterizer. Our approach outperforms the current state of the art for composed scenes in terms of VRAM usage and image quality, utilizing a combination of our instanced rasterizer and occlusion culling MLP, and exhibits complementary properties to existing LoD techniques.
