As embodied agents operate in increasingly complex environments, the ability to perceive, track, and reason about individual object instances over time becomes essential, especially in tasks requiring sequenced interactions with visually similar objects. In non-Markovian settings, critical decision cues lie in object histories rather than the current scene. Without persistent memory of prior interactions (what was used, where it was placed, or how it changed), visuomotor policies may fail, repeat past actions, or overlook completed ones. To surface this challenge, we introduce LIBERO-Mem, a non-Markovian task suite for stress-testing robotic manipulation under object-level partial observability. It combines short- and long-horizon object tracking with temporally sequenced subgoals, requiring reasoning beyond the current frame. However, vision-language-action (VLA) models often struggle in such settings, with token scaling quickly becoming intractable even for tasks spanning just a few hundred frames. We propose Embodied-SlotSSM, a slot-centric VLA framework built for temporal scalability. It maintains spatio-temporally consistent slot identities and leverages them through two mechanisms: (1) slot-state-space modeling for reconstructing short-term history, and (2) a relational encoder to align the input tokens with action decoding. Together, these components enable temporally grounded, context-aware action prediction. Experiments show Embodied-SlotSSM's baseline performance on LIBERO-Mem and general tasks, offering a scalable solution for non-Markovian reasoning in object-centric policies.

uCLIP: Parameter-Efficient Multilingual Extension of Vision-Language Models with Unpaired Data
PDF ↗Contrastive Language–Image Pre-training (CLIP) has demonstrated strong generalization across a wide range of visual tasks by leveraging large-scale English–image pairs. However, its extension to low-resource languages remains limited due to the scarcity of high-quality multilingual image–text data. Existing multilingual vision–language models exhibit consistently low retrieval performance in underrepresented languages—including Czech, Finnish, Croatian, Hungarian, Romanian—on the Crossmodal-3600 (XM3600) benchmark. To address this, we propose a lightweight and data-efficient framework for multilingual vision–language alignment. Our approach requires no image–text pairs or text-text pairs and freezes both the pretrained image encoder and multilingual text encoder during training. Only a compact 1.7M-parameter projection module is trained, using a contrastive loss over English representations as semantic anchors. This minimal training setup enables robust multilingual alignment even for languages with limited supervision. Extensive evaluation across multiple multilingual retrieval benchmarks confirms the effectiveness of our method, showing significant gains in five underrepresented languages where existing models typically underperform. These findings highlight the effectiveness of our pivot-based, parameter-efficient alignment strategy for inclusive multimodal learning.
Tourism and travel planning increasingly rely on digital assistance, yet existing multimodal AI systems often lack specialized knowledge and contextual understanding of urban environments. We present TraveLLaMA, a specialized multimodal language model designed for comprehensive travel assistance. Our work addresses the fundamental challenge of developing practical AI travel assistants through three key contributions: (1) TravelQA, a novel dataset of 265k question-answer pairs combining 160k text QA from authentic travel sources, 100k vision-language QA featuring maps and location imagery, and 5k expert-annotated Chain-of-Thought reasoning examples; (2) Travel-CoT, a structured reasoning framework that decomposes travel queries into spatial, temporal, and practical dimensions, improving answer accuracy by 10.8% while providing interpretable decision paths; and (3) an interactive agent system validated through extensive user studies. Through fine-tuning experiments on state-of-the-art vision-language models (LLaVA, Qwen-VL, Shikra), we achieve 6.2-9.4% base improvements, further enhanced by Travel-CoT reasoning. Our model demonstrates superior capabilities in contextual travel recommendations, map interpretation, and scene understanding while providing practical information such as operating hours and cultural insights. User studies with 500 participants show TraveLLaMA achieves a System Usability Scale score of 82.5, significantly outperforming general-purpose models and establishing new standards for multimodal travel assistance systems.
The generalization capability of deepfake detectors is crucial for real-world applications. Data augmentation to generate synthetic fake faces has served as an effective strategy to enhance generalization. Interestingly, current state-of-the-art (SoTA) methods rely on fixed augmentation strategies, raising a fundamental question: Can a single static augmentation approach suffice, or does the diversity of forgery features necessitate dynamic strategies? We argue that existing methods overlook the evolving complexity of real-world forgery patterns, such as facial warping, expression manipulation, and compression artifacts, which cannot be fully simulated by fixed policies. To bridge this gap, we propose CRDA (Curriculum Reinforcement-Learning Data Augmentation), a novel framework that guides the detector to progressively master multi-domain forgery features from simple to complex. CRDA synthesizes augmented samples using a configurable pool of forgery operations and dynamically generates adversarial samples tailored to the detector’s current learning state. Key to our approach is the integration of reinforcement learning (RL) and causal inference. To efficiently explore the vast augmentation space, an RL agent dynamically selects augmentation actions based on the detector’s performance, ensuring continuous adaptation to increasingly challenging forgeries. Simultaneously, the agent’s output is designed to introduce variations in action spaces, generating heterogeneous forgery patterns. These variations are guided by causal inference theory, which mitigates spurious correlations by suppressing task-irrelevant biases and enforcing the model to focus on causally invariant features. This integration ensures robust generalization by decoupling synthetic augmentation patterns from the model’s learned representations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves the generalizability of the detector, achieving superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods on multiple cross-domain datasets.
Despite significant advancements in dynamic neural rendering, existing methods fail to address the unique challenges posed by UAV-captured scenarios, particularly those involving monocular camera setups, top-down perspective, and multiple small, moving humans, which are not adequately represented in existing datasets. In this work, we introduce UAV4D, a framework for enabling photorealistic rendering for dynamic real-world scenes captured by UAVs. Specifically, we address the challenge of reconstructing dynamic scenes with multiple moving pedestrians from monocular video data without the need for additional sensors. We use a combination of a 3D foundation model and a human mesh reconstruction model to reconstruct both the scene background and humans. We propose a novel approach to resolve the scene scale ambiguity and place both humans and the scene in world coordinates by identifying human-scene contact points. Additionally, we exploit the SMPL model and background mesh to initialize Gaussian splats, enabling holistic scene rendering. We evaluated our method on three complex UAV-captured datasets: VisDrone, Manipal-UAV, and Okutama-Action, each with distinct characteristics and 10-50 humans. Our results demonstrate the benefits of our approach over existing methods in novel view synthesis, achieving a 1.5 dB PSNR improvement and superior visual sharpness.
4D Scaffold Gaussian Splatting with Dynamic-Aware Anchor Growing for Efficient and High-Fidelity Dynamic Scene Reconstruction
PDF ↗Modeling dynamic scenes through 4D Gaussians offers high visual fidelity and fast rendering speeds, but comes with significant storage overhead. Recent approaches mitigate this cost by aggressively reducing the number of Gaussians. However, this inevitably removes Gaussians essential for high-quality rendering, leading to severe degradation in dynamic regions. In this paper, we introduce a novel 4D anchor-based framework that tackles the storage cost in different perspective. Rather than reducing the number of Gaussians, our method retains a sufficient quantity to accurately model dynamic contents, while compressing them into compact, grid-aligned 4D anchor features. Each anchor is processed by an MLP to spawn a set of neural 4D Gaussians, which represent a local spatiotemporal region. We design these neural 4D Gaussians to capture temporal changes with minimal parameters, making them well-suited for the MLP-based spawning. Moreover, we introduce a dynamic-aware anchor growing strategy to effectively assign additional anchors to under-reconstructed dynamic regions. Our method adjusts the accumulated gradients with Gaussians' temporal coverage, significantly improving reconstruction quality in dynamic regions. Experimental results highlight that our method achieves state-of-the-art visual quality in dynamic regions, outperforming all baselines by a large margin with practical storage costs.
Massive multi-modality datasets are fundamental to the success of large video-language models. However, existing datasets often focus on providing textual descriptions for visual content, treating audio, particularly music, as weakly related information. This overlooks the inherent semantic correlation between visual narratives and musical scores, limiting the development of models for fine-grained cross-modal understanding and generation. To address this gap, we introduce VMChill, a large-scale, fine-grained multimodal video dataset. We leverage trailers as our data source, as they are professionally edited to create a strong synergy between visual pacing, scene transitions, and background music for narrative and emotional impact. Our dataset comprises over 20 million video clips derived from more than 27.1k hours of high-resolution trailer videos. To annotate this data, we propose a systematic multimodal captioning framework. This framework first employs specialized unimodal models to extract descriptive features from multiple perspectives, including visual content, motion dynamics, and musical attributes (e.g., genre, instruments, mood). Subsequently, a large language model (LLM) is utilized to adaptively fuse these diverse descriptions into a single, coherent, and rich multimodal caption. This process yields VMChill-2M, a high-quality subset of 2 million clips with detailed multimodal annotations, and VMChill-Test, a manually refined test set for evaluation. We conduct extensive experiments on downstream tasks, including video understanding and generation, to establish benchmarks and demonstrate the dataset's quality. The results validate that VMChill effectively enhances model performance, highlighting its potential to facilitate future research in fine-grained multimodal learning. We will release the dataset, annotation codebase, and processing pipelines to support community research.
Existing methods for human parsing into body parts and clothing often use fixed mask categories with broad labels that obscure fine-grained clothing types. Recent open-vocabulary segmentation approaches leverage pretrained text-to-image (T2I) diffusion model features for strong zero-shot transfer, but typically group entire humans into a single person category, failing to distinguish diverse clothing or detailed body parts. To address this, we propose Spectrum, a unified network for part-level pixel parsing (body parts and clothing) and instance-level grouping. While diffusion-based open-vocabulary models generalize well across tasks, their internal representations are not specialized for detailed human parsing. We observe that, unlike diffusion models with broad representations, image-driven 3D texture generators maintain faithful correspondence to input images, enabling stronger representations for parsing diverse clothing and body parts. Spectrum introduces a novel repurposing of an Image-to-Texture (I2Tx) diffusion model—obtained by fine-tuning a T2I model on 3D human texture maps—for improved alignment with body parts and clothing. From an input image, we extract human-part internal features via the I2Tx diffusion model and generate semantically valid masks aligned to diverse clothing categories through prompt-guided grounding. Once trained, Spectrum produces semantic segmentation maps for every visible body part and clothing category, ignoring standalone garments or irrelevant objects, for any number of humans in the scene. We conduct extensive cross-dataset experiments—separately assessing body parts, clothing parts, unseen clothing categories, and full-body masks—and demonstrate that Spectrum consistently outperforms baseline methods in prompt-based segmentation.
Typical detection-free methods for image-to-point cloud registration leverage transformer-based architectures to aggregate cross-modal features and establish correspondences. However, they often struggle under challenging conditions, where noise disrupts similarity computation and leads to incorrect correspondences. Moreover, without dedicated designs, it remains difficult to effectively select informative and correlated representations across modalities, thereby limiting the robustness and accuracy of registration. To address these challenges, we propose a novel cross-modal registration framework composed of two key modules: the Iterative Agents Selection (IAS) module and the Reliable Agents Interaction (RAI) module. IAS enhances structural feature awareness with phase maps and employs reinforcement learning principles to efficiently select reliable agents. RAI then leverages these selected agents to guide cross-modal interactions, effectively reducing mismatches and improving overall robustness. Extensive experiments on the RGB-D Scenes v2 and 7-Scenes benchmarks demonstrate that our method consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance.
Towards High-Resolution 3D Anomaly Detection: A Scalable Dataset and Real-Time Framework for Subtle Industrial Defects
PDF ↗In industrial point cloud analysis, detecting subtle anomalies demands high-resolution spatial data, yet prevailing benchmarks emphasize low-resolution inputs. To address this disparity, we propose a scalable pipeline for generating realistic and subtle 3D anomalies. Employing this pipeline, we developed MiniShift, the inaugural high-resolution 3D anomaly detection dataset, encompassing 2,577 point clouds, each with 500,000 points and anomalies occupying less than 1% of the total. We further introduce Simple3D, an efficient framework integrating Multi-scale Neighborhood Descriptors (MSND) and Local Feature Spatial Aggregation (LFSA) to capture intricate geometric details with minimal computational overhead, achieving real-time inference exceeding 20 fps. Extensive evaluations on MiniShift and established benchmarks demonstrate that Simple3D surpasses state-of-the-art methods in both accuracy and speed, highlighting the pivotal role of high-resolution data and effective feature aggregation in advancing practical 3D anomaly detection.
With the rapid development of generative AI, image steganography has garnered widespread attention due to its unique concealment. Recent studies have demonstrated the practical advantages of Fixed Neural Network Steganography (FNNS), notably its ability to achieve stable information embedding and extraction without any additional network training. However, the stego images generated by FNNS still exhibit noticeable distortion and limited robustness. These drawbacks compromise the security of the embedded information and restrict the practical applicability of the method. To address these limitations, we propose Robust Fixed Neural Network Steganography (RFNNS). Specifically, a texture-aware localization technique selectively embeds perturbations carrying secret information into regions of complex textures, effectively preserving visual quality. Additionally, a robust steganographic perturbation generation (RSPG) strategy is designed to enhance the decoding accuracy, even under common and unknown attacks. These robust perturbations are combined with AI-generated cover images to produce stego images. Experimental results demonstrate that RFNNS significantly improves robustness compared to state-of-the-art FNNS methods, achieving an average increase in SSIM of 23% for recovered secret images under common attacks. Furthermore, the LPIPS value of recovered secrets images against previously unknown attacks achieved by RFNNS was reduced to 39% of the SOTA method, underscoring its practical value for covert communication.
Decomposing Prompts, Composing Actions: A Multi-Granularity Prompting Approach for Incremental Action Learning
PDF ↗Continual learning for action recognition is a critical capability for next-generation Extended Reality (XR) systems. Yet it faces a severe real-world challenge: strict user privacy that prohibits data rehearsal. While recent prompt-based continual learning methods show promise, we argue their core 'flat,' single-granularity design fundamentally misaligns with the complexity of human actions. This monolithic architecture fails to model the inherent hierarchical structure and overlooks standard action primitives shared across tasks, resulting in suboptimal performance and hindered knowledge transfer. To overcome this limitation, we propose DPCA, a novel spatio-temporal continual learning framework with multi-granularity adaptive prompting. DPCA learns three synergistic components to resolve this mismatch. First, the task-specific prompter employs a multi-granularity query system to capture the unique, compositional semantics of each action. Second, the task-agnostic prompter learns a globally shared vocabulary of ``action primitives," providing a stable and generalizable knowledge base to mitigate catastrophic forgetting. Finally, we introduce a Dissimilarity Attention Rectification at each granularity level, leveraging a reverse attention mechanism to model class-agnostic background information and effectively alleviating overfitting. The synergy between these components enables robust model adaptation without requiring access to past data. Rigorous experiments on multiple large-scale benchmarks (including NTU RGB+D), under a strict rehearsal-free, few-shot protocol, confirm that DPCA establishes a new state-of-the-art. This advance paves the way for the realization of truly adaptive and privacy-respecting XR systems.
We present 360Explorer, a novel approach for generating 4D controllable panoramic videos conditioned on user-provided 3D instructions for exploring and manipulating dynamic worlds. Compared to existing perspective-based methods struggle to address spatial consistency during camera rotation in place, we introduce the panoramic view in controllable video generation models to inherently maintain the view recall consistency. By introducing dynamic point clouds as the 4D scene representations, 360Explorer unifies the modeling of camera transformations and object movements as incomplete renders to describe precise control instructions in 3D worlds. To tackle the data limitation in acquiring multi-viewpoint panoramic videos, we further propose a reverse warping strategy to construct the training dataset on easily accessible monocular panoramic videos. Extensive experiments demonstrate that 360Explorer achieves superior performance in creating 4D controllable panoramic videos with camera transformation and object movements aligned with diverse provided instructions.
HandMCM: Multi-modal Point Cloud-based Correspondence State Space Model for 3D Hand Pose Estimation
PDF ↗3D hand pose estimation that involves accurate estimation of 3D human hand keypoint locations is crucial for many human-computer interaction applications such as augmented reality. However, this task poses significant challenges due to self-occlusion of the hands and occlusions caused by interactions with objects. In this paper, we propose HandMCM to address these challenges. Our HandMCM is a novel method based on the powerful state space model (Mamba). By incorporating modules for local information injection/filtering and correspondence modeling, the proposed correspondence Mamba effectively learns the highly dynamic kinematic topology of keypoints across various occlusion scenarios. Moreover, by integrating multi-modal image features, we enhance the robustness and representational capacity of the input, leading to more accurate hand pose estimation. Empirical evaluations on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods, particularly in challenging scenarios involving severe occlusions. These results highlight the potential of our approach to advance the accuracy and reliability of 3D hand pose estimation in practical applications.
Accurate 3D scene motion perception significantly enhances the safety and reliability of an autonomous driving system. Benefiting from its all-weather operational capability and unique perceptual properties, 4D mmWave radar has emerged as an essential component in advanced autonomous driving. However, sparse and noisy radar points often lead to imprecise motion perception, leaving autonomous vehicles with limited sensing capabilities when optical sensors degrade under adverse weather conditions. In this paper, we propose RadarMP, a novel method for precise 3D scene motion perception using low-level radar echo signals from two consecutive frames. Unlike existing methods that separate radar target detection and motion estimation, RadarMP jointly models both tasks in a unified architecture, enabling consistent radar point cloud generation and pointwise 3D scene flow prediction. Tailored to radar characteristics, we design specialized self-supervised loss functions guided by Doppler shifts and echo intensity, effectively supervising spatial and motion consistency without explicit annotations. Extensive experiments on the public dataset demonstrate that RadarMP achieves reliable motion perception across diverse weather and illumination conditions, outperforming radar-based decoupled motion perception pipelines and enhancing perception capabilities for full-scenario autonomous driving systems.
Glass surfaces challenge object detection models as they mix the transmitted background with the reflected surrounding, creating confusing visual patterns. Previous methods relying on low-level cues (e.g., reflections and boundaries) or surrounding semantics are often unreliable in complex real-world scenarios. A glass image inherently comprises three distinct semantic components: semantics of the transmitted content, semantics of the reflected content, and semantics of the surrounding content. In this work, we observe that there is a relationship among these three types of semantics, where reflection semantics closely resembles surrounding semantics, while these two types of semantics tend to be different from the transmission semantics. For example, when on a street, we may see into a cafeteria through a glass wall, intermixed with reflection of the street, while the glass is surrounded by other street contents like shops and pedestrians, thereby creating a unique multi-semantic signature. Based on this observation, we propose the Multi-Semantic Net, MSNet, which identifies transmission, reflection, and surrounding semantics from glass images and exploits their relationships for glass surface detection. MSNet consists of two novel modules: (1) A Semantic Decomposition Module (SDM) containing Dual-Semantics Extraction Block to extract original image and reflection semantics and Semantic Elimination Block to progressively derive transmission and surrounding semantics, and (2) An Adaptive Semantic Fusion Module (ASFM) to fuse these semantic components and adaptively learn their relationships to handle varying reflection conditions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MSNet surpasses SOTA methods on public glass detection benchmarks.
First Learn, Then Review: Human-Like Continual Learning for Cross-View Geo-Localization with Limited Field of View
PDF ↗This paper addresses cross-view geo-localization in real-world scenarios, where the field-of-view (FoV) is restricted and the orientation is unknown for ground-view images. This task is extremely challenging due to the huge domain gap. Existing methods typically treat tasks with different FoVs as independent tasks. These approaches not only require separate retraining for each FoV, but also neglect the strong correlations between different FoVs, leading to poor performance under extremely limited FoV. To overcome these limitations, we propose HCL-Geo, a framework follows human-like continual learning paradigm of "first learn, then review" for geo-localization: in the first "learn" stage, tasks are presented to the model in an easy-to-hard sequence to enable gradual learning and knowledge retention, so that their natural correlations could be exploited to facilitate knowledge transfer. In the second "review" stage, expert modules are incorporated to efficiently handle tasks with varying FoVs. This approach eliminates the need for retraining separate models and demonstrates state-of-the-art performance across different FoVs with strong generalization capabilities. Remarkably, the recall rate@top-1 improves from 49.1% to 68.3% and from 24.6% to 34.3% respectively on CVUSA and CVACT benchmarks with 70° FoV.
RFI: Rectified Flow Intervention for Mitigating Object Hallucination in Large Vision-Language Models
PDF ↗Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in multimodal understanding and generation by integrating visual and textual data. However, these models frequently exhibit object hallucination problems: generating outputs that are inconsistent with the input image. Existing improved methods for mitigating hallucinations still suffer from two key limitations: dynamic approaches based on logits or attention mechanisms risk suppressing valuable linguistic priors, whereas static methods that employ fixed intervention vectors lack the flexibility to adapt to diverse images and questions. To address these issues, we propose RFI (Rectified Flow Intervention), a novel approach that harnesses the linear trajectory design of rectified flow for input-specific adaptation and employs gradient correction to ensure coherent generation, effectively combining the adaptability of dynamic methods with the stability of static ones. RFI dynamically predicts latent-space intervention vectors while requiring only a single forward pass in LVLMs per question, achieving computational efficiency (1.09x latency overhead for 100 new tokens). Extensive experiments show RFI significantly reduces hallucinations, achieving superior performance compared to existing advanced methods, highlighting its effectiveness as a lightweight plug-and-play method for reducing LVLM's hallucination in practical applications.
Color temperature, as a crucial attribute influencing image color, plays a critical role in Image Aesthetics Assessment (IAA). Yet, within the existing IAA field, little light has been shed on assessing the aesthetic quality of image color temperature. To bridge this gap, we introduce a new task: Image Color Temperature Aesthetics Assessment (ICTAA). However, this task poses the following challenges: 1) Perceptual Sensitivity: humans exhibit high sensitivity to subtle shifts in color temperature, necessitating a model to enable fine-grained discrimination; 2) Spectral Continuity: The theoretical modeling of color temperature aesthetics requires continuous labels; however, the just-noticeable-difference property of human perception makes continuous labeling infeasible, necessitating a well-designed labeling strategy. To address the aforementioned challenges, we make the following efforts. First, we propose a multi-modal contrastive learning framework, ICTA2Net, that models color temperature differences between image pairs while strictly controlling other visual attributes. Second, leveraging color temperature transitivity, we design a weakly supervised strategy that discretely samples images based on anchor images and human perception to build contrastive relations across color temperatures, enabling learning from discrete labels. Thirdly, we construct a color temperature aesthetics dataset, ICTAA240K, and a benchmark for validation. Additionally, we propose a new metric, Information Entropy-weighted Accuracy (IEA), which weights accuracy by the degree of annotation disagreement to reflect model performance across varying sample difficulties, complementing existing evaluation metrics. Experiments show our method outperforms existing state-of-the-art IAA methods on ICTAA240K, thereby setting an effective roadmap for ICTAA.
Video diffusion generation suffers from critical sampling efficiency bottlenecks, particularly for large-scale models and long contexts. Existing video acceleration methods, adapted from image-based techniques, lack a single-step distillation ability for large-scale video models and task generalization for conditional downstream tasks. To bridge this gap, we propose the Video Phased Adversarial Equilibrium (V-PAE), a distillation framework that enables high-quality, single-step video generation from large-scale video models. Our approach employs a two-phase process. (i) Stability priming is a warm-up process to align the distributions of real and generated videos. It improves the stability of single-step adversarial distillation in the following process. (ii) Unified adversarial equilibrium is a flexible self-adversarial process that reuses generator parameters for the discriminator backbone. It achieves a co-evolutionary adversarial equilibrium in the Gaussian noise space. For the conditional tasks, we primarily preserve video-image subject consistency, which is caused by semantic degradation and conditional frame collapse during the distillation training in image-to-video (I2V) generation. Comprehensive experiments on VBench-I2V demonstrate that V-PAE outperforms existing acceleration methods by an average of 5.8% in the overall quality score, including semantic alignment, temporal coherence, and frame quality. In addition, our approach reduces the diffusion latency of the large-scale video model (e.g., Wan2.1-I2V-14B) by 100 times, while preserving competitive performance.
