We present FunREC, a method for reconstructing functional 3D digital twins of indoor scenes directly from egocentric RGB-D interaction videos. Unlike existing methods on articulated reconstruction, which rely on controlled setups, multi-state captures, or CAD priors, FunREC operates directly on in-the-wild human interaction sequences to recover interactable 3D scenes. It automatically discovers articulated parts, estimates their kinematic parameters, tracks their 3D motion, and reconstructs static and moving geometry in canonical space, yielding simulation-compatible meshes. Across new real and simulated benchmarks, FunREC surpasses prior work by a large margin, achieving up to +50 mIoU improvement in part segmentation, 5-10x lower articulation and pose errors, and significantly higher reconstruction accuracy. We further demonstrate applications on URDF/USD export for simulation, hand-guided affordance mapping and robot-scene interaction. Our project page is: functionalscenes.github.io.

Learning Diffeomorphism for Medical Image Registration with Time-Embedded Architectures Using Semigroup Regularization
PDF ↗Diffeomorphic image registration (DIR) seeks topology-preserving transformations and is fundamental in medical imaging. Existing DIR methods rely on integration schemes (e.g., scaling-and-squaring) and multiple regularizers to enforce invertibility. We introduce **SGDIR**, a continuous-time registration framework, parameterized by known time-embedded backbones, that models diffeomorphisms using only a single semigroup-based regularization, eliminating explicit integration and auxiliary constraints. We mathematically prove that this formulation directly learns the flow of an underlying ODE, inherently enforcing inverse and cycle consistencies. We evaluate on eight 2D and 3D MR and CT datasets. Under strict semigroup enforcement, our model achieves near-perfect diffeomorphism and significantly outperforms existing diffeomorphic methods, while remaining competitive with leading non-diffeomorphic deformable models. When the regularization is relaxed, the same architecture functions as a deformable method and substantially surpasses state-of-the-art non-diffeomorphic approaches in registration accuracy. These results demonstrate that continuous-time deformation modeling, guided solely by our semigroup-based regularization, yields a unified framework capable of both rigorously diffeomorphic mapping and state-of-the-art deformable registration.
Vision-Language Model (VLM) is now an important component to enable robust robot manipulation. Yet, using it to translate human instructions into an action-resolvable intermediate representation often needs a tradeoff between VLM-comprehensibility and generalizability. Inspired by context-free grammar structure, we design the Semantic Assembly representation named SEAM, by decomposing the intermediate representation into vocabulary and grammar. Doing so leads us to a concise vocabulary of semantically-rich operations and a VLM-friendly grammar for handling diverse unseen tasks. Also, we design a novel open-vocabulary segmentation paradigm with an in-context learning strategy to precisely localize fine-grained object parts for manipulation (e.g., cup handle, teapot opening) effectively with the shortest inference time over all state-of-the-art parallel works. We then formulate new metrics for action-generalizability and VLM-comprehensibility to evaluate mainstream representations, demonstrating the strong performance of SEAM on both aspects. Extensive real-world experiments further manifest the SOTA performance of SEAM under varying settings and tasks.
Text-to-multiview (T2MV) diffusion models have shown great promise in generating multiple views of a scene from a single text prompt. While few-step backbones enable real-time T2MV generation, they often compromise key aspects of generation quality, such as per-view fidelity and cross-view consistency. Reinforcement learning (RL) finetuning offers a potential solution, yet existing approaches designed for single-image diffusion do not readily extend to the few-step T2MV setting, as they neglect cross-view coordination and suffer from weak learning signals in few-step regimes. To address this, we propose MVC-ZigAL, a tailored RL finetuning framework for few-step T2MV diffusion models. Specifically, its core insights are: (1) a new MDP formulation that jointly models all generated views and assesses their collective quality via a joint-view reward; (2) a novel advantage learning strategy that exploits the performance gains of a self-refinement sampling scheme over standard sampling, yielding stronger learning signals for effective RL finetuning; and (3) a unified RL framework that extends advantage learning with a Lagrangian dual formulation for multiview-constrained optimization, balancing single-view and joint-view objectives through adaptive primal-dual updates under a self-paced threshold curriculum that harmonizes exploration and constraint enforcement. Collectively, these designs enable robust and balanced RL finetuning for few-step T2MV diffusion models, yielding substantial gains in both per-view fidelity and cross-view consistency. Code is available at https://github.com/ZiyiZhang27/MVC-ZigAL.
The utilization of temporal information has always been an open topic in the tracking community. However, existing trackers tend to employ more and more inputs or parameters for temporal learning, hindering their deployment in resource-constrained unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). More importantly, this raises ambiguity whether the performance gains come from the temporal learning itself, or come from the increased inputs and parameters. In this study, we advocate designing temporal learning components from a more balanced perspective that jointly considers performance gains and computational costs. To achieve this goal, we introduce a new evaluation metric, i.e., precision per FLOP (PPF). The PPF is introduced to quantify the tracking precision gains achieved by temporal learning components per unit of FLOP, thus enabling fair and efficiency-aware comparisons among these components and driving them toward more efficient designs. Based on this metric, we propose a low-cost yet effective temporal learning (LETL) approach to model contextual relationships. This approach continuously propagates and merges representative appearance tokens in video streams, allowing the tracker to efficiently capture the changing patterns of targets with relatively low costs. We integrate the LETL approach into existing one-stream frameworks, thereby building a simple yet effective tracker, namely LETrack, for robust UAV tracking. Extensive experimental demonstrate the superiority of our LETrack, and show that the proposed LETL approach achieves higher PPF scores. The Code is available at https://github.com/GXNU-ZhongLab/LETrack.
Transformers have emerged as a universal backbone across 3D perception, video generation, and world models for autonomous driving and embodied AI, where understanding camera geometry is essential for grounding visual observations in three-dimensional space. However, existing camera encoding methods often rely on simplified pinhole assumptions, restricting generalization across the diverse intrinsics and lens distortions in real-world cameras. We introduce **Relative Ray Encoding**, a geometry-consistent representation that unifies complete camera information, including 6-DoF poses, intrinsics, and lens distortions. To evaluate its capability under diverse controllability demands, we adopt camera-controlled text-to-video generation as a testbed task. Within this setting, we further identify pitch and roll as two components effective for **Absolute Orientation Encoding**, enabling full control over the initial camera orientation. Together, these designs form **UCPE (Unified Camera Positional Encoding)**, which integrates into a pretrained video Diffusion Transformer through a lightweight spatial attention adapter, adding **less than 1% trainable parameters** while achieving state-of-the-art camera controllability and visual fidelity. To facilitate systematic training and evaluation, we construct a large video dataset covering a wide range of camera motions and lens types. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of UCPE in camera-controllable video generation and highlight its potential as a general camera representation for Transformers across future multi-view, video, and 3D tasks.
We introduce ProM3E, a probabilistic masked multimodal embedding model for any-to-any generation of multimodal representations for ecology. ProM3E is based on masked modality reconstruction in the embedding space, learning to infer missing modalities given a few context modalities. By design, our model supports modality inversion in the embedding space. The probabilistic nature of our model allows us to analyze the feasibility of fusing various modalities for given downstream tasks, essentially learning what to fuse. Using these features of our model, we propose a novel cross-modal retrieval approach that mixes inter-modal and intra-modal similarities to achieve superior performance across all retrieval tasks. We further leverage the hidden representation from our model to perform linear probing tasks and demonstrate the superior representation learning capability of our model. All our code, datasets and model will be released at https://vishu26.github.io/prom3e.
Current diffusion-based portrait animation models predominantly focus on enhancing visual quality and expression realism, while overlooking generation latency and real-time performance, which restricts their application range in the live streaming scenario. We propose PersonaLive, a novel diffusion-based framework towards streaming real-time portrait animation with multi-stage training recipes. Specifically, we first adopt hybrid implicit signals, namely implicit facial representations and 3D implicit keypoints, to achieve expressive image-level motion control. Then, a fewer-step appearance distillation strategy is proposed to eliminate appearance redundancy in the denoising process, greatly improving inference efficiency. Finally, we introduce an autoregressive micro-chunk streaming generation paradigm equipped with a sliding training strategy and a historical keyframe mechanism to enable low-latency and stable long-term video generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PersonaLive achieves state-of-the-art performance with up to **7-22**xspeedup over prior diffusion-based portrait animation models. The code will be publicly available.
Training-free Mixed-Resolution Latent Upsampling for Spatially Accelerated Diffusion Transformers
PDF ↗Diffusion transformers (DiTs) offer excellent scalability for high-fidelity generation, but their computational overhead poses a great challenge for practical deployment. Existing acceleration methods primarily exploit the temporal dimension, whereas spatial acceleration remains underexplored. In this work, we investigate spatial acceleration for DiTs via latent upsampling. We found that naive latent upsampling for spatial acceleration introduces artifacts, primarily due to aliasing in high-frequency edge regions and mismatching from noise-timestep discrepancies. Then, based on these findings and analyses, we propose a training-free spatial acceleration framework, dubbed Region-Adaptive Latent Upsampling (RALU), to mitigate those artifacts while achieving spatial acceleration of DiTs by our mixed-resolution latent upsampling. RALU achieves artifact-free, efficient acceleration with early upsampling only on artifact-prone edge regions and noise-timestep matching for different latent resolutions, leading to up to 7.0xspeedup on FLUX-1.dev and 3.0xon Stable Diffusion 3 with negligible quality degradation. Furthermore, our RALU is complementarily applicable to existing temporal acceleration methods and timestep-distilled models, leading to up to 15.9xspeedup.
Uni-Encoder Meets Multi-Encoders: Representation Before Fusion for Brain Tumor Segmentation with Missing Modalities
PDF ↗Multimodal MRI offers complementary information for brain tumor segmentation, but clinical scans often lack one or more modalities, which degrades segmentation performance. In this paper, we propose UniME (Uni-Encoder Meets Multi-Encoders), a two-stage heterogeneous method for brain tumor segmentation with missing modalities that reconciles the trade-offs among fine-grained structure capture, cross-modal complementarity modeling, and exploitation of available modalities. The idea is to decouple representation learning from segmentation via a two-stage heterogeneous architecture. Stage 1 pretrains a single ViT Uni-Encoder with masked image modeling to establish a unified representation robust to missing modalities. Stage 2 adds modality-specific CNN Multi-Encoders to extract high-resolution, multi-scale, fine-grained features. We fuse these features with the global representation to produce precise segmentations. Experiments on BraTS 2023 and BraTS 2024 show that UniME outperforms previous methods under incomplete multi-modal scenarios. The code is available at https://github.com/Hooorace-S/UniME
Ray-tracing-based 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) enjoys the generality of supporting non-pinhole camera models and relightable formulations. However, they are usually lacking in performance, partially due to the need for depth-based sorting of all intersecting Gaussians along the traced rays.In this paper, we introduce a sorting-free differentiable stochastic formulation for ray-traced 3DGS, enabling efficient reconstruction and rendering of both standard and relightable 3DGS scenes.For standard 3DGS, our method offers performance comparable to rasterization-based 3DGS and outperforms sorting-based ray tracing.For relightable 3DGS, our technique provides higher-quality reconstructions and renderings thanks to the accurate shadow and shading computation provided by fully ray-traced shadow and light rays.
We propose SLARM, a feed-forward model that unifies dynamic scene reconstruction, semantic understanding, and real-time streaming inference. SLARM captures complex, non-uniform motion through higher-order motion modeling, trained solely on differentiable renderings without any flow supervision. Besides, SLARM distills semantic features from LSeg to obtain language-aligned representations. This design enables semantic querying via natural language, and the tight coupling between semantics and geometry further enhances the accuracy and robustness of dynamic reconstruction. Moreover, SLARM processes image sequences using window-based causal attention, achieving stable, low-latency streaming inference without accumulating memory cost. Within this unified framework, SLARM achieves state-of-the-art results in dynamic estimation, rendering quality, and scene parsing, improving motion accuracy by 21%, reconstruction PSNR by 1.6 dB, and segmentation mIoU by 20% over existing methods.
Generative image models can produce convincingly real images, with plausible shapes, textures, layouts and lighting. However, one domain in which they perform notably poorly is in the synthesis of transparent objects, which exhibit refraction, reflection, absorption and scattering. Refraction is a particular challenge, because refracted pixel rays often intersect with surfaces observed in other parts of the image, providing a constraint on the color. It is clear from inspection that generative models have not distilled the laws of optics sufficiently well to accurately render refractive objects. In this work, we consider the problem of generating images with accurate refraction, given a text prompt. We synchronize the pixels within the object's boundary with those outside by warping and merging the pixels using Snell's Law of Refraction, at each step of the generation trajectory. For those surfaces that are not directly observed in the image, but are visible via refraction or reflection, we recover their appearance by synchronizing the image with a second generated image---a panorama centered at the object---using the same warping and merging procedure. We demonstrate that our approach generates much more optically-plausible images that respect the physical constraints.
Hallucination limits the reliability of multimodal large language models (MLLMs), and it is particularly damaging in video where errors manifest as distorted narratives rather than single-frame mistakes. We introduce a frame-first study of **Chimera Hallucination**: model stitches visual segments that exist in space and time but do not belong to the same event chain, producing a spurious continuous story. We introduce **CH-Risk**, a single-forward, reference-free risk estimate tailored to this failure mode. CH-Risk combines two complementary signals: SegCoverage@\alpha (\mathrm SCR @\alpha) measures how many event segments are needed to cover most text-to-frame support, exposing long-range stitching; Alignment with Early Temporal Pathway (AETP) measures rank consistency between support and the temporal pathway formed in early-middle layers, exposing stage mismatch. To turn risk into correction, we further propose **CH-M(itigation)**, a train-free two-stage intervention. Segment-aligned Stage-Aligned Frame Routing (sSAFR) re-weights frames before the mid-layer softmax to route attention toward a small set of pathway-aligned segments. Residual Token Calibration (RTC) then stabilizes token usage within selected segments. Extensive experiments across 9 benchmarks and 6 VideoLLMs show that CH-Risk can predict Chimera and that CH-M consistently reduces hallucination and improves task accuracy with negligible overhead (sub-5% latency, sub-2.5% memory, \~1% FLOPs).
Single-image reflection removal is a highly ill-posed problem, where existing methods struggle to reason about the composition of corrupted regions, causing them to fail at recovery and generalization in the wild. This work reframes an editing-purpose latent diffusion model to effectively perceive and process highly ambiguous, layered image inputs, yielding high-quality outputs. We argue that the challenge of this conversion stems from a critical yet overlooked issue, i.e., the latent space of semantic encoders lacks the inherent structure to interpret a composite image as a linear superposition of its constituent layers. Our approach is built on three synergistic components, including a reflection-equivariant VAE that aligns the latent space with the linear physics of reflection formation, a learnable task-specific text embedding for precise guidance that bypasses ambiguous language, and a depth-guided early-branching sampling strategy to harness generative stochasticity for promising results. Extensive experiments reveal that our model achieves new SOTA performance on multiple benchmarks and generalizes well to challenging real-world cases.
SAMIX: Reinforcing SAM2 with Semantic Adapter and Reference Selecting Policy for Mix-Supervised Segmentation
PDF ↗Mix-supervised image segmentation aims to effectively leverage heterogeneous annotations. Recent prompt-based advances utilize foundation models such as Segment Anything Model (SAM) to generate pseudo-masks by treating weak labels as spatial prompts. However, these methods rely heavily on sparse spatial priors, leading to suboptimal performance in ambiguous regions and overlooking the potential of unlabeled data due to the absence of promptable cues. In this paper, we propose SAMIX, a novel framework that adapts SAM2 into a semantic-aware pseudo-label generator SA-SAM2 by incorporating a lightweight semantic adapter. Beyond being guided by sparse spatial prompts, SA-SAM2 facilitates dense contextual prompts provided by valuable image-mask reference pairs with shared semantics. Another core component of SAMIX is the Selecting Policy Network (SPNet), which auto-regressively retrieves relevant and complementary reference samples for each query image. Unlike rule-based selections, SPNet is trained via reinforcement learning to actively explore reference combinations that maximize pseudo-label quality. Guided by customized and verifiable rewards associated with mask quality, the selection is directed toward semantically informative and diverse contexts. We conduct extensive experiments on two general datasets (PASCAL VOC 2012 and Cityscapes) and two specific datasets with ambiguous boundaries (camouflaged object detection and image polyp segmentation). Across diverse mix-supervision settings, SAMIX consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance. Codes are available at https://github.com/Huster-Hq/SAMIX.
The CLIP model's outstanding generalization has driven recent success in Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection (ZSAD) for detecting anomalies in unseen categories. The core challenge in ZSAD is to specialize the model for anomaly detection tasks while preserving CLIP's powerful generalization capability. Existing approaches attempting to solve this challenge share the fundamental limitation of a patch-agnostic design that processes all patches monolithically without regard for their unique characteristics. To address this limitation, we propose MoECLIP, a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture for the ZSAD task, which achieves patch-level adaptation by dynamically routing each image patch to a specialized Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) expert based on its unique characteristics. Furthermore, to prevent functional redundancy among the LoRA experts, we introduce (1) Frozen Orthogonal Feature Separation (FOFS), which orthogonally separates the input feature space to force experts to focus on distinct information, and (2) a simplex equiangular tight frame (ETF) loss to regulate the expert outputs to form maximally equiangular representations. Comprehensive experimental results across 14 benchmark datasets spanning industrial and medical domains demonstrate that MoECLIP outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods. The code is available at https://github.com/CoCoRessa/MoECLIP.
We introduce Humanoid-GPT, a GPT-style Transformer with causal attention trained on a billion-scale motion corpus for whole-body control. Unlike prior shallow MLP trackers constrained by scarce data and an agility-generalization trade-off, Humanoid-GPT is pre-trained on a 2B-frame retargeted corpus that unifies all major mocap datasets with large-scale in-house recordings. Scaling both data and model capacity yields a single generative Transformer that tracks highly dynamic behaviors while achieving unprecedented zero-shot generalization to unseen motions and control tasks. Extensive experiments and scaling analyses show that our model establishes a new performance frontier, demonstrating robust zero-shot generalization to unseen tasks while simultaneously tracking highly dynamic and complex motions.
Transferring pre-trained knowledge from a source model to a target model of a different architectural size is a key challenge for flexible and efficient model scaling. However, current parameter-space methods treat Small-to-Large (S2L) and Large-to-Small (L2S) scaling as separate, incompatible problems, focusing on parameter synthesis and selection, respectively.This fragmented perspective has resulted in specialized tools, hindering a unified, bidirectional framework.In this paper, we propose BoT (Bidirectional knowledge Transfer), the first size-agnostic framework to unify S2L and L2S scaling.Our core insight is to treat model weights as continuous signals, where models of different sizes represent distinct discretizations of the transferable knowledge.This multi-resolution perspective directly casts S2L and L2S scaling as the signal processing operations of upsampling and downsampling, naturally leading to the adoption of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and its Inverse (IDWT).BoT leverages the recursive nature of wavelets, using the decomposition level as a dynamic scaling factor to bridge disparate model sizes in a parameter-free and computationally efficient manner. Extensive experiments on DeiT, BERT, and GPT demonstrate significant pre-training FLOPs savings (up to 67.1% for S2L, 52.8% for L2S) and state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks like GLUE and SQuAD.
Crack segmentation (CS) is crucial for structural inspection and maintenance in production scenarios. To achieve both high accuracy and efficiency, recent methods have adopted Mamba-based architectures built upon state space models (SSMs), which enable linear-complexity modeling of long-range dependencies. However, existing approaches typically rely on static multi-directional scanning to flatten visual features into sequences. This fixed flattening order disrupts spatial continuity and weakens the SSM's ability to model irregular crack patterns effectively. To address this limitation, we propose CrackSSM, a novel crack-aware segmentation framework featuring a dynamic scanning strategy that adapts the token sequence to the underlying structure of each image. Specifically, we compute directional response strength along four orientations from high-level semantic features, and use these values to reorder tokens so that crack-relevant regions remain adjacent in sequence. This alignment improves the causal modeling ability of SSMs while preserving their efficiency and better suits the irregular, fine-grained nature of cracks. Additionally, we design a wavelet-guided decoding mechanism to recover detailed features. It incorporates high-frequency components extracted from the input image and applies them to guide feature refinement and edge-aware fusion, further enhancing segmentation precision. Experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method achieves superior segmentation accuracy with fewer parameters and faster inference compared to existing state-of-the-art models. The source code for this work is available at https://github.com/hby123123/CrackSSM.
