Few-shot multimodal industrial anomaly detection is a critical yet underexplored task, offering the ability to quickly adapt to complex industrial scenarios. In few-shot settings, insufficient training samples often fail to cover the diverse patterns present in test samples. This challenge can be mitigated by extracting structural commonality from a small number of training samples. In this paper, we propose a novel few-shot unsupervised multimodal industrial anomaly detection method based on structural commonality, CIF (Commonality In Few). To extract intra-class structural information, we employ hypergraphs, which are capable of modeling higher-order correlations, to capture the structural commonality within training samples, and use a memory bank to store this intra-class structural prior. Firstly, we design a semantic-aware hypergraph construction module tailored for single-semantic industrial images, from which we extract common structures to guide the construction of the memory bank. Secondly, we use a training-free hypergraph message passing module to update the visual features of test samples, reducing the distribution gap between test features and features in the memory bank. We further propose a hyperedge-guided memory search module, which utilizes structural information to assist the memory search process and reduce the false positive rate. Experimental results on the MVTec 3D-AD dataset and the Eyecandies dataset show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods in few-shot settings.

Frequency-Aligned Cross-Modal Learning with Top-K Wavelet Fusion and Dynamic Expert Routing for Enhanced Retinal Disease Diagnosis
PDF ↗Multimodal fusion of color fundus photography (CFP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scan images has demonstrated superior diagnostic potential for retinal diseases compared to single-modality approaches. However, existing fusion paradigms - whether through naive concatenation or attention mechanisms - treat cross-modal interactions indiscriminately, lacking adaptive modulation of modality-specific contributions under varying clinical scenarios. We propose an adaptive fusion framework that dynamically routes and refines multimodal signals for enhancing disease recognition. The framework comprises two key components: 1) Dynamic Cross-Modal Expert Routing (CMER), which selectively activates convolutional neural network (CNN) experts from one modality based on contextual guidance from the other, ensuring only the most relevant feature extractors contribute to fusion; and 2) Top-K Expert-Guided Wavelet Fusion (TEWF), which performs discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to decompose selected features into low- and high-frequency subbands. Cross-modal attention is then applied specifically to high-frequency components, where lesion-specific microstructures reside, enabling frequency-aware fusion. Finally, inverse DWT (IDWT) reconstructs the fused representation, weighted by CMER-derived importance scores to amplify informative modality cues while suppressing redundancy. Experimental validation on two multimodal retinal datasets demonstrates that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing fusion strategies by significant margins in disease classification accuracy and robustness.
Although fully-supervised oriented object detection has made significant progress in remote sensing image understanding, it comes at the cost of labor-intensive annotation. Recent studies have explored weakly and semi-supervised learning to alleviate this burden. However, these methods overlook the difficulties posed by dense annotations in complex remote sensing scenes. In this paper, we introduce a novel setting called sparsely annotated oriented object detection (SAOOD), which only labels partial instances, and propose a solution to address its challenges. Specifically, we focus on two key issues in the setting: (1) sparse labeling leading to overfitting on limited foreground representations, and (2) unlabeled objects (false negatives) confusing feature learning. To this end, we propose the S2Teacher, a novel angle-consistency guided method that progressively mines pseudo-labels for unlabeled objects from easy to hard, enhancing foreground representations. Additionally, it reweights the loss of unlabeled objects to mitigate their impact during training. Extensive experiments demonstrate that S2Teacher not only significantly improves detector performance across different sparse annotation levels but also achieves near-fully-supervised performance on the DOTA dataset with only 10% annotation instances, effectively balancing accuracy and labeling cost.
Multi-agents rely on accurate poses to share and align observations, enabling a collaborative perception of the environment. However, traditional GNSS-based localization often fails in GNSS-denied environments, making consistent feature alignment difficult in collaboration. To tackle this challenge, we propose a robust GNSS-free collaborative perception framework based on LiDAR localization. Specifically, we propose a lightweight Pose Generator with Confidence (PGC) to estimate compact pose and confidence representations. To alleviate the effects of localization errors, we further develop the Pose-Aware Spatio-Temporal Alignment Transformer (PASTAT), which performs confidence-aware spatial alignment while capturing essential temporal context. Additionally, we present a new simulation dataset, V2VLoc, which can be adapted for both LiDAR localization and collaborative detection tasks. V2VLoc comprises three subsets: Town1Loc, Town4Loc, and V2VDet. Town1Loc and Town4Loc offer multi-traversal sequences for training in localization tasks, whereas V2VDet is specifically intended for the collaborative detection task. Extensive experiments conducted on the V2VLoc dataset demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance under GNSS-denied conditions. We further conduct extended experiments on the real-world V2V4Real dataset to validate the effectiveness and generalizability of PASTAT.
Recent research has focused on using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as the backbones in two-view correspondence learning, demonstrating significant superiority over methods based on multilayer perceptrons. However, CNN backbones that are not tailored to specific tasks may fail to effectively aggregate global context and oversmooth dense motion fields in scenes with large disparity. To address these problems, we propose a novel network named SC-Net, which effectively integrates bilateral context from both spatial and channel perspectives. Specifically, we design an adaptive focused regularization module (AFR) to enhance the model's position-awareness and robustness against spurious motion samples, thereby facilitating the generation of a more accurate motion field. We then propose a bilateral field adjustment module (BFA) to refine the motion field by simultaneously modeling long-range relationships and facilitating interaction across spatial and channel dimensions. Finally, we recover the motion vectors from the refined field using a position-aware recovery module (PAR) that ensures consistency and precision. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SC-Net outperforms state-of-the-art methods in relative pose estimation and outlier removal tasks on YFCC100M and SUN3D datasets.
Skeletons Speak Louder than Text: A Motion-Aware Pretraining Paradigm for Video-Based Person Re-Identification
PDF ↗Multimodal pretraining has revolutionized visual understanding, but its impact on video-based person re-identification (ReID) remains underexplored. Existing approaches often rely on video-text pairs, yet suffer from two fundamental limitations: (1) lack of genuine multimodal pretraining, and (2) text poorly captures fine-grained temporal motion—an essential cue for distinguishing identities in video. In this work, we take a bold departure from text-based paradigms by introducing the first skeleton-driven pretraining framework for ReID. To achieve this, we propose Contrastive Skeleton-Image Pretraining for ReID (CSIP-ReID), a novel two-stage method that leverages skeleton sequences as a spatiotemporally informative modality aligned with video frames. In the first stage, we employ contrastive learning to align skeleton and visual features at sequence level. In the second stage, we introduce a dynamic Prototype Fusion Updater (PFU) to refine multimodal identity prototypes, fusing motion and appearance cues. Moreover, we propose a Skeleton Guided Temporal Modeling (SGTM) module that distills temporal cues from skeleton data and integrates them into visual features. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CSIP-ReID achieves new state-of-the-art results on standard video ReID benchmarks (MARS, LS-VID, iLIDS-VID). Moreover, it exhibits strong generalization to skeleton-only ReID tasks (BIWI, IAS), significantly outperforming previous methods. CSIP-ReID pioneers an annotation-free and motion-aware pretraining paradigm for ReID, opening a new frontier in multimodal representation learning.
Semi-Supervised Instance Segmentation (SSIS) involves classifying and grouping image pixels into distinct object instances using limited labeled data alongside large-scale unlabeled data. A major challenge in SSIS lies in the inherent noise of pseudo-labels, particularly when class and mask qualities are coupled into a single confidence score for filtering. Such coupling often results in sub-optimal trade-offs between semantic accuracy and spatial precision. To address this, we propose a novel Pseudo-Label Decoupling and Correction (PL-DC) framework, which explicitly decouples and enhances the pseudo-label selection process for SSIS. At the instance level, we introduce a Decoupled Filtering with Adaptive Class-Aware Thresholds mechanism, which independently evaluates class and mask qualities using category-specific thresholds updated via exponential moving averages. At the category level, we design a Dynamic Instance Category Correction module that reassigns ambiguous class pseudo-label by leveraging semantic prototypes and consistency alignment. At the pixel level, a Pixel-Level Mask Uncertainty-Aware mechanism is applied to suppress the influence of unreliable pixels during mask supervision, further improving the robustness against pixel-wise noise. Extensive experiments on COCO and Cityscapes datasets demonstrate that the proposed PL-DC achieves significant performance improvements, setting new state-of-the-art results. Notably, PL-DC achieves gains of +11.7 mAP with just 1% labeled COCO data and +16.4 mAP with 5% Cityscapes labels, showing its effectiveness under extremely low-label regimes.
SAM-DAQ: Segment Anything Model with Depth-guided Adaptive Queries for RGB-D Video Salient Object Detection
PDF ↗Recently segment anything model (SAM) has attracted widespread concerns, and it is often treated as a vision foundation model for universal segmentation. Some researchers have attempted to directly apply the foundation model to the RGB-D video salient object detection (RGB-D VSOD) task, which often encounters three challenges, including the dependence on manual prompts, the high memory consumption of sequential adapters, and the computational burden of memory attention. To address the limitations, we propose a novel method, namely Segment Anything Model with Depth-guided Adaptive Queries (SAM-DAQ), which adapts SAM2 to pop-out salient objects from videos by seamlessly integrating depth and temporal cues within a unified framework. Firstly, we deploy a parallel adapter-based multi-modal image encoder (PAMIE), which incorporates several depth-guided parallel adapters (DPAs) in a skip-connection way. Remarkably, we fine-tune the frozen SAM encoder under prompt-free conditions, where the DPA utilizes depth cues to facilitate the fusion of multi-modal features. Secondly, we deploy a query-driven temporal memory (QTM) module, which unifies the memory bank and prompt embeddings into a learnable pipeline. Concretely, by leveraging both frame-level queries and video-level queries simultaneously, the QTM module can not only selectively extract temporal consistency features but also iteratively update the temporal representations of the queries. Extensive experiments are conducted on three RGB-D VSOD datasets, and the results show that the proposed SAM-DAQ consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of all evaluation metrics.
In autonomous driving, vision-centric 3D object detection recognizes and localizes 3D objects from RGB images. However, due to high annotation costs and diverse outdoor scenes, training data often fails to cover all possible test scenarios, known as the out-of-distribution (OOD) issue. Training-free image editing offers a promising solution for improving model robustness by training data enhancement without any modifications to pre-trained diffusion models. Nevertheless, inversion-based methods often suffer from limited effectiveness and inherent inaccuracies, while recent rectified-flow-based approaches struggle to preserve objects with accurate 3D geometry. In this paper, we propose DriveFlow, a Rectified Flow Adaptation method for training data enhancement in autonomous driving based on pre-trained Text-to-Image flow models. Based on frequency decomposition, DriveFlow introduces two strategies to adapt noise-free editing paths derived from text-conditioned velocities. 1) High-Frequency Foreground Preservation: DriveFlow incorporates a high-frequency alignment loss for foreground to maintain precise 3D object geometry. 2) Dual-Frequency Background Optimization: DriveFlow also conducts dual-frequency optimization for background, balancing editing flexibility and semantic consistency. Comprehensive experiments validate the effectiveness and efficiency of DriveFlow, demonstrating comprehensive performance improvements on all categories across OOD scenarios.
Recent efforts have repurposed the Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) model for No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) by measuring the cosine similarity between the image embedding and textual prompts such as "a good photo" or "a bad photo." However, this semantic similarity overlooks a critical yet underexplored cue: the magnitude of the CLIP image features, which we empirically find to exhibit a strong correlation with perceptual quality. In this work, we introduce a novel adaptive fusion framework that complements cosine similarity with a magnitude-aware quality cue. Specifically, we first extract the absolute CLIP image features and apply a Box-Cox transformation to statistically normalize the feature distribution and mitigate semantic sensitivity. The resulting scalar summary serves as a semantically-normalized auxiliary cue that complements cosine-based prompt matching. To integrate both cues effectively, we further design a confidence-guided fusion scheme that adaptively weighs each term according to its relative strength. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark IQA datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms standard CLIP-based IQA and state-of-the-art baselines, without any task-specific training.
Improving Batch Normalization with Test-Time Adaptation for Robust Object Detection in Self-Driving
PDF ↗In open real-world autonomous driving scenarios, challenges such as sensor failure and extreme weather hinder the generalization of current autonomous driving perception models to these unseen domain, due to the domain shifts between the test and training data. As the parameter scale of autonomous driving perception models grows, traditional test-time adaptation (TTA) methods become unstable and often degrade model performance in most scenarios. To address these challenges, this paper proposes two new robust methods to improve the Batch Normalization with TTA for object detection in autonomous driving: (1) We introduce a new LearnableBN layer based on Geometric Confidence Maximization and Entropy Minimization. Specifically, we modify the traditional BN layer by incorporating auxiliary learnable parameters, which enables the BN layer to dynamically update the statistics according to the different input data. (2) We propose a novel semantic-consistency based dual-stage adaptation strategy, which encourages the model to iteratively search for the optimal solution and eliminates unstable samples during the adaptation process. Extensive experiments on the NuScenes-C dataset shows that our method achieves a maximum improvement of about 10\% using BEVFormer as the baseline across six corruption types and three levels of severity.
FloorPlanFormer: Multi-Task Transformer Network for Floor Plan Recognition with Outer-to-Inner Feature Refinement
PDF ↗Floor plan recognition requires accurate segmentation and classification of entrance doors, outer contours (walls and windows) and inner contours (various room types) , despite strong spatial dependencies and large stylistic differences between different datasets. To overcome these challenges, we propose FloorPlanFormer, a multi-task learning network divided into three phases: the first phase introduces a Swin Transformer backbone with a pixel decoder to extract fine-grained pixel-level semantics; the second phase employs prompt encoder and mask decoder, and a novel Global Contextual Attention Module (GCAM) is designed to generate clear, high-quality outer contour masks; the third stage uses mask transformer decoder to recognize targets and designs a Masked Feature Refinement Module (MFRM) to accurately delineate the inner contour by modeling the relationship between the local inner and outer contours. Finally, we constructed FloorPlan8K, a dataset containing 8200 images and 77434 instances, on which our model was trained and evaluated, and the results greatly outperformed the state-of-the-art general segmentation methods and specialized methods.
Video Large Language Models (VideoLLMs), which adopt large language models for video understanding, have been demonstrated for single-shot videos. However, they usually struggle in multi-shot videos with frequent shot changes, varying camera angles, etc., which makes VideoLLMs hardly answer questions about multiple instances or shots over the whole video. We attribute this challenge to two issues: 1) the lack of multi-shot multi-instance annotations of existing datasets, and 2) the negligence of instance-aware modeling of current VideoLLMs. Therefore, we first introduce a new dataset termed MultiClip-Bench, featuring dense descriptions and question-answering pairs tailored for multi-shot and multi-instance scenarios. Moreover, since the existing VideoLLMs neglect the explicit modeling of instance-related features, we propose a novel Instance Prompt-guided Transformer, named IPFormer, to achieve instance-aware videounderstanding. In the IPFormer, we design a simple but effective instance-aware feature injection module, which encodes instance features as instance prompts via an attention-based connector. By this means, IPFormer can aggregate instance-specific information across multiple shots. Extensive experiments not only show that our dataset and model significantly improve multi-shot video understanding. but also show that our MultiClip-Bench can provide valuable training data and benchmarks for various video understanding tasks.
FAMDR: Feature-Aligned Multimodal Denoising for Reliable Diagnostic Reconciliation in Medical Imaging
PDF ↗This paper presents FAMDR, a Feature-Aligned Multimodal Denoising framework for Reliable Diagnostic Reconciliation. Existing approaches suffer from two major limitations: (1) an overemphasis on simplifying observational descriptions and (2) a failure to denoise the misleading content in radiological findings against clinical histories. Current methods often dismiss such cross-modal inconsistencies as noise rather than clinically significant signals. To bridge this gap, the framework integrates four synergistic components: (1) noise-aware multimodal alignment that preserves discriminative discrepancy features while ensuring semantic coherence, (2) cross-modal retrieval augmentation leveraging external medical knowledge to resolve ambiguous cases, (3) granular localization of noises at pixel and phrase levels using adaptive thresholding, and (4) medical noise uncertainty quantification to provide reliable confidence estimates. Evaluated on an extended MIMIC-CXR dataset enriched with expert-annotated noise and longitudinal records, FAMDR achieves superior accuracy in semantic denoising and inconsistency localization while preserving clinical interpretability. Its capability to generate actionable, uncertainty-aware reports advances safer and more reliable integration into diagnostic workflows.
Single-image-to-3D models typically follow a sequential generation and reconstruction workflow. However, intermediate multi-view images synthesized by pre-trained generation models often lack cross-view consistency (CVC), significantly degrading 3D reconstruction performance. While recent methods attempt to refine CVC by feeding reconstruction results back into the multi-view generator, these approaches struggle with noisy and unstable reconstruction outputs that limit effective CVC improvement. We introduce AlignCVC, a novel framework that fundamentally re-frames single-image-to-3D generation through distribution alignment rather than relying on strict regression losses. Our key insight is to align both generated and reconstructed multi-view distributions toward the ground-truth multi-view distribution, establishing a principled foundation for improved CVC. Observing that generated images exhibit weak CVC while reconstructed images display strong CVC due to explicit rendering, we propose a soft-hard alignment strategy with distinct objectives for generation and reconstruction models. This approach not only enhances generation quality but also dramatically accelerates inference to as few as 4 steps. As a plug-and-play paradigm, our method, namely AlignCVC, seamlessly integrates various combinations of multiview generation models with 3D reconstruction models. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of AlignCVC for single-image-to-3D generation.
Burst Image Quality Assessment: A New Benchmark and Unified Framework for Multiple Downstream Tasks
PDF ↗In recent years, the development of burst imaging technology has improved the capture and processing capabilities of visual data, enabling a wide range of applications. However, the redundancy in burst images leads to the increased storage and transmission demands, as well as reduced efficiency of downstream tasks. To address this, we propose a new task of Burst Image Quality Assessment (BuIQA), to evaluate the task-driven quality of each frame within a burst sequence, providing reasonable cues for burst image selection. Specifically, we establish the first benchmark dataset for BuIQA, consisting of 7,346 burst sequences with 45,827 images and 191,572 annotated quality scores for multiple downstream scenarios. Inspired by the data analysis, a unified BuIQA framework is proposed to achieve an efficient adaption for BuIQA under diverse downstream scenarios. Specifically, a task-driven prompt generation network is developed with heterogeneous knowledge distillation, to learn the priors of the downstream task. Then, the task-aware quality assessment network is introduced to assess the burst image quality based on the task prompt. Extensive experiments across 10 downstream scenarios demonstrate the impressive BuIQA performance of the proposed approach, outperforming the state-of-the-art. Furthermore, it can achieve 0.33 dB PSNR improvement in the downstream tasks of denoising and super-resolution, by applying our approach to select the high-quality burst frames.
Anatomical Region-Guided Contrastive Decoding: A Plug-and-Play Strategy for Mitigating Hallucinations in Medical VLMs
PDF ↗Medical Vision-Language Models (MedVLMs) show immense promise in clinical applicability. However, their reliability is hindered by hallucinations, where models often fail to derive answers from visual evidence, instead relying on learned textual priors. Existing mitigation strategies for MedVLMs have distinct limitations: training-based methods rely on costly expert annotations, limiting scalability, while training-free interventions like contrastive decoding, though data-efficient, apply a global, untargeted correction whose effects in complex real-world clinical settings can be unreliable. To address these challenges, we introduce Anatomical Region-Guided Contrastive Decoding (ARCD), a plug-and-play strategy that mitigates hallucinations by providing targeted, region-specific guidance. Our module leverages an anatomical mask to direct a three-tiered contrastive decoding process. By dynamically re-weighting at the token, attention, and logits levels, it verifiably steers the model's focus onto specified regions, reinforcing anatomical understanding and suppressing factually incorrect outputs. Extensive experiments across diverse datasets, including chest X-ray, CT, brain MRI, and ocular ultrasound, demonstrate our method's effectiveness in improving regional understanding, reducing hallucinations, and enhancing overall diagnostic accuracy.
Safe autonomous driving requires both accurate HD map construction and persistent awareness of traffic rules, even when their associated signs are no longer visible. However, existing methods either focus solely on geometric elements or treat rules as temporary classifications, failing to capture their persistent effectiveness across extended driving sequences. In this paper, we present PAMR (Persistent Autoregressive Mapping with Traffic Rules), a novel framework that performs autoregressive co-construction of lane vectors and traffic rules from visual observations. Our approach introduces two key mechanisms: Map-Rule Co-Construction for processing driving scenes in temporal segments, and Map-Rule Cache for maintaining rule consistency across these segments. To properly evaluate continuous and consistent map generation, we develop MapDRv2, featuring improved lane geometry annotations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PAMR achieves superior performance in joint vector-rule mapping tasks, while maintaining persistent rule effectiveness throughout extended driving sequences.
Open-vocabulary object detection (OVOD) aims at detecting and recognizing objects beyond a fixed set of classes. Although region-word alignment and knowledge distillation have been explored for training a strong open-vocabulary detector, our analysis reveals three main issues (inaccurate alignment, redundant distillation, and low-quality class embedding) that limit OVOD's performance. In this paper, we explore the well-designed Tensor decomposition and Language descriptions for open-vocabulary object Detection (called TLDet). Proposals with the highest similarity score often correspond to discriminative but incomplete regions (e.g., object heads), resulting in inaccurate region-word alignment. To mitigate this issue, we propose a low-rank proposal filtering module that quantitatively assesses the completeness of each proposal by performing singular value decomposition and computing the sum of its singular values. This allows the model to reduce discriminative proposals and enhance the precision of alignment between visual regions and textual concepts. Furthermore, to mitigate redundant knowledge transfer, we introduce a core tensor distillation approach that decomposes teacher and student features into core tensors via Tucker decomposition and performs distillation through optimized tensor alignment. This ensures that the student acquires the most essential knowledge from the teacher. Finally, to improve the quality of class embedding, a language description enhancement method is proposed by exploring the knowledge of LLM to enrich the representations of categories during inference. Extensive experiments on popular datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our TLDet, achieving 36.1% mAP on COCO and 30.1% mask mAP on LVIS, and outperforming existing methods on novel categories.
Electrocautery or lasers will inevitably generate surgical smoke, which hinders the visual guidance of laparoscopic videos for surgical procedures. The surgical smoke can be classified into different types based on its motion patterns, leading to distinctive spatio-temporal characteristics across smoky laparoscopic videos. However, existing desmoking methods fail to account for such smoke-type-specific distinctions. Therefore, we propose the first Smoke-Type-Aware Laparoscopic Video Desmoking Network (STANet) by introducing two smoke types: Diffusion Smoke and Ambient Smoke. Specifically, a smoke mask segmentation sub-network is designed to jointly conduct smoke mask and smoke type predictions based on the attention-weighted mask aggregation, while a smokeless video reconstruction sub-network is proposed to perform specially desmoking on smoky features guided by two types of smoke mask. To address the entanglement challenges of two smoke types, we further embed a coarse-to-fine disentanglement module into the mask segmentation sub-network, which yields more accurate disentangled masks through the smoke-type-aware cross attention between non-entangled and entangled regions. In addition, we also construct the first large-scale synthetic video desmoking dataset with smoke type annotations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method not only outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in quality evaluations, but also exhibits superior generalization across multiple downstream surgical tasks.
