Vision models for embodied intelligence require efficient 3D comprehension and interaction with objects within the scene. Existing 3D reconstruction models either overlook instance-level perception or rely on time-consuming offline reasoning, showing a less adaptability in real-time embodied scenario. In this paper, we present PromptDepth, the first promptable vision model that features both geometric 3D understanding and instance-level interaction especially designed for embodied intelligence. PromptDepth is a feed-forward network that quickly yields panoptic, instanced, or tracked depth map from two corresponding frames, enabling the real-time infer sequences from embodied agents. Specifically, following the minimal prediction problem, we design a promptable Dense Prediction Transformer, making it flexible to interact with unified dense prediction according to a specific prompt. Considering the substantial discrepancy between panoptic and instanced depth map, we further introduce a novel Instanced Label Distribution Smoothing (ILDS) loss, followed by Gram Anchoring, to mitigate the inherent conflict between dense and discrete representation. Trained on synthetic data only, our model achieves state-of-the-art results in both depth estimation and interactive segmentation on public benchmarks. Extensive experiments demonstrate superior visual efficiency in embodied tasks compared to current fundamental models. We believe that our efficient and flexible geometric 3D model offers a new foundation for vision tasks in embodied intelligence.

Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection (WSVAD) aims to localize abnormal segments using only video-level labels during training.Although the paradigm significantly reduces annotation costs, the coarse-grained labels fail to precisely describe the full videos, resulting in the introduction of substantial Weakly Labeled Information (WLI) during training. The presence of WLI makes it difficult for the model to accurately learn the boundary between normal and abnormal behaviors, leading to misclassifications and compromising the precision of anomaly localization.To tackle the challenges posed by WLI, we propose a triplet learning strategy that selects hard segments from normal videos as anchors. By combining contrastive learning with Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) strategy, we increase the projection distance between abnormal segments and anchor samples, to reduce the interference of WLI in anomaly detection.Moreover, considering that anomalies typically occur in dynamic foreground regions, we further design a motion-aware feature enhancement module that extracts dynamic areas within each video segment to emphasize the representation of critical features.This not only improves the accuracy of anchors in triplets, but also enhances the discriminative power of instance features in MIL. Extensive experiments on UCF-Crime, XD-Violence, and MSAD datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
OpenFS: Multi-Hand-Capable Fingerspelling Recognition with Implicit Signing-Hand Detection and Frame-Wise Letter-Conditioned Synthesis
PDF ↗Fingerspelling is a component of sign languages in which words are spelled out letter by letter using specific hand poses. Automatic fingerspelling recognition plays a crucial role in bridging the communication gap between Deaf and hearing communities, yet it remains challenging due to the signing-hand ambiguity issue, the lack of appropriate training losses, and the out-of-vocabulary (OOV) problem. Prior fingerspelling recognition methods rely on explicit signing-hand detection, which often leads to recognition failures, and on a connectionist temporal classification (CTC) loss, which exhibits the peaky behavior problem. To address these issues, we develop OpenFS, an open-source approach for fingerspelling recognition and synthesis. We propose a multi-hand-capable fingerspelling recognizer that supports both single- and multi-hand inputs and performs implicit signing-hand detection by incorporating a dual-level positional encoding and a signing-hand focus (SF) loss. The SF loss encourages cross-attention to focus on the signing hand, enabling implicit signing-hand detection during recognition. Furthermore, without relying on the CTC loss, we introduce a monotonic alignment (MA) loss that enforces the output letter sequence to follow the temporal order of the input pose sequence through cross-attention regularization. In addition, we propose a frame-wise letter-conditioned generator that synthesizes realistic fingerspelling pose sequences for OOV words. This generator enables the construction of a new synthetic benchmark, called FSNeo. Through comprehensive experiments, we demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in recognition and validate the effectiveness of the proposed recognizer and generator. Codes and data are available in: https://github.com/AIRC-KETI/OpenFS.
Model Merging (MM) has emerged as a scalable paradigm for multi-task learning (MTL), enabling multiple task-specific models to be integrated without revisiting the original training data. Despite recent progress, the reliability of MM under test-time distribution shift remains insufficiently understood. Most existing MM methods typically assume that test data are clean and distributionally aligned with both the training and auxiliary sources. However, this assumption rarely holds in practice, often resulting in biased predictions with degraded generalization. To address this issue, we present BD-Merging, a bias-aware unsupervised model merging framework that explicitly models uncertainty to achieve adaptive reliability under distribution shift. First, BD-Merging introduces a joint evidential head that learns uncertainty over a unified label space, capturing cross-task semantic dependencies in MM. Second, building upon this evidential foundation, we propose an Adjacency Discrepancy Score (ADS) that quantifies evidential alignment among neighboring samples. Third, guided by ADS, a discrepancy-aware contrastive learning mechanism refines the merged representation by aligning consistent samples and separating conflicting ones. Combined with general unsupervised learning, this process trains a debiased router that adaptively allocates task-specific or layer-specific weights on a per-sample basis, effectively mitigating the adverse effects of distribution shift. Extensive experiments across diverse tasks demonstrate that BD-Merging achieves superior effectiveness and robustness compared to state-of-the-art MM baselines.
STCDiT: Spatio-Temporally Consistent Diffusion Transformer for High-Quality Video Super-Resolution
PDF ↗We present STCDiT, a video super-resolution framework built upon a pre-trained video diffusion model, aiming to restore structurally faithful and temporally stable videos from degraded inputs, even under complex camera motions. The main challenges lie in maintaining temporal stability during reconstruction and preserving structural fidelity during generation. To address these challenges, we first develop a motion-aware VAE reconstruction method that performs segment-wise reconstruction, with each segment clip exhibiting uniform motion characteristic, thereby effectively handling videos with complex camera motions. Moreover, we observe that the first-frame latent extracted by the VAE encoder in each clip, termed the anchor-frame latent, remains unaffected by temporal compression and retains richer spatial structural information than subsequent frame latents. We further develop an anchor-frame guidance approach that leverages structural information from anchor frames to constrain the generation process and improve structural fidelity of video features. Coupling these two designs enables the video diffusion model to achieve high-quality video super-resolution. Extensive experiments show that STCDiT outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of structural fidelity and temporal consistency.
ENC-Bench: A Benchmark for Evaluating Multimodal Large Language Models in Electronic Navigational Chart Understanding
PDF ↗Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) are the safety-critical backbone of modern maritime navigation, yet it remains unclear whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can reliably interpret them. Unlike natural images or conventional charts, ENCs encode regulations, bathymetry, and route constraints via standardized vector symbols, scale-dependent rendering, and precise geometric structure---requiring specialized maritime expertise for interpretation. We introduce ENC-Bench, the first benchmark dedicated to professional ENC understanding. ENC-Bench contains 20,490 expert-validated samples from 840 authentic National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ENCs, organized into a three-level hierarchy: Perception (symbol and feature recognition), Spatial Reasoning (coordinate localization, bearing, distance), and Maritime Decision-Making (route legality, safety assessment, emergency planning under multiple constraints). All samples are generated from raw S-57 data through a calibrated vector-to-image pipeline with automated consistency checks and expert review. We evaluate 10 state-of-the-art MLLMs such as GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5, Qwen3-VL, InternVL-3, and GLM-4.5V, under a unified zero-shot protocol. The best model achieves only 47.88% accuracy, with systematic challenges in symbolic grounding, spatial computation, multi-constraint reasoning, and robustness to lighting and scale variations. By establishing the first rigorous ENC benchmark, we open a new research frontier at the intersection of specialized symbolic reasoning and safety-critical AI, providing essential infrastructure for advancing MLLMs toward professional maritime applications.
FlowPortal: Residual-Corrected Flow for Training-Free Video Relighting and Background Replacement
PDF ↗Video relighting with background replacement is a challenging task critical for applications in film production and creative media. Existing methods struggle to balance temporal consistency, spatial fidelity, and illumination naturalness. To address these issues, we introduce FlowPortal, a novel training-free flow-based video relighting framework. Our core innovation is a Residual-Corrected Flow mechanism that transforms a standard flow-based model into an editing model, guaranteeing perfect reconstruction when input conditions are identical and enabling faithful relighting when they differ, resulting in high structural consistency. This is further enhanced by a Decoupled Condition Design for precise lighting control and a High-Frequency Transfer mechanism for detail preservation. Additionally, a masking strategy isolates foreground relighting from background pure generation process. Experiments demonstrate that FlowPortal achieves superior performance in temporal coherence, structural preservation, and lighting realism, while maintaining high efficiency.
Transformers have achieved widespread and remarkable success, while the computational complexity of their attention modules remains a major bottleneck for vision tasks. Existing methods mainly employ 8-bit or 4-bit quantization to balance efficiency and accuracy. In this paper, with theoretical justification, we indicate that binarization of attention preserves the essential similarity relationships, and propose BinaryAttention, an effective method for fast and accurate 1-bit qk-attention. Specifically, we retain only the sign of queries and keys in computing the attention, and replace the floating dot products with bit-wise operations, significantly reducing the computational cost. We mitigate the inherent information loss under 1-bit quantization by incorporating a learnable bias, and enable end-to-end acceleration. To maintain the accuracy of attention, we adopt quantization-aware training and self-distillation techniques, mitigating quantization errors while ensuring sign-aligned similarity. BinaryAttention is more than 2xfaster than FlashAttention2 on A100 GPUs. Extensive experiments on vision transformer and diffusion transformer benchmarks demonstrate that BinaryAttention matches or even exceeds full-precision attention, validating its effectiveness. Our work provides a highly efficient and effective alternative to full-precision attention, pushing the frontier of low-bit transformers for vision tasks. The codes and models can be found at https://github.com/EdwardChasel/BinaryAttention.
BHCast: Unlocking Black Hole Plasma Dynamics from a Single Blurry Image with Long-Term Forecasting
PDF ↗The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) delivered the first image of a black hole by capturing the light from its surrounding accretion flow, revealing structure but not dynamics. Simulations of black hole accretion dynamics are essential for interpreting EHT images but costly to generate and impractical for inference. Motivated by this bottleneck, BHCast presents a framework for forecasting black hole plasma dynamics from a single, blurry snapshot, such as those captured by the EHT. At its core, BHCast is a neural model that transforms a static image into forecasted future frames, revealing the underlying dynamics hidden within one snapshot. With a multi-scale pyramid loss, we demonstrate how autoregressive forecasting can simultaneously super-resolve and evolve a blurry frame into a coherent, high-resolution movie that remains stable over long time horizons. From forecasted dynamics, we can then extract interpretable spatio-temporal features, such as pattern speed (rotation rate) and pitch angle. Finally, BHCast uses gradient-boosting trees to recover black hole properties from these plasma features, including the spin and viewing inclination angle. The separation between forecasting and inference provides modular flexibility, interpretability, and robust uncertainty quantification. We demonstrate the effectiveness of BHCast on simulations of two distinct black hole accretion systems, Sagittarius A* and M87*, by testing on simulated frames blurred to EHT resolution and real EHT images of M87*. Ultimately, our methodology establishes a scalable paradigm for solving inverse problems, demonstrating the potential of learned dynamics to unlock insights from resolution-limited scientific data.
Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has emerged as an effective and lightweight framework for post-training visual generative models. However, its performance is fundamentally limited by the ambiguity of textual-visual correspondence: a single prompt may validly describe diverse visual outputs, and a single image or video may support multiple equally correct interpretations. This many-to-many relationship leads reward models to generate uncertain and weakly discriminative signals, causing GRPO to underutilize reliable feedback and overfit noisy ones. We introduce Bayesian Prior-Guided Optimization (BPGO), a novel extension of GRPO that explicitly models reward uncertainty through a semantic prior anchor. BPGO adaptively modulates optimization trust at two levels: inter-group Bayesian trust allocation emphasizes updates from groups consistent with the prior while down-weighting ambiguous ones, and intra-group prior-anchored renormalization sharpens sample distinctions by expanding confident deviations and compressing uncertain scores.Across both image and video generation tasks, BPGO delivers consistently stronger semantic alignment, enhanced perceptual fidelity, and faster convergence than standard GRPO and recent variants.
Intricate correlations among atomic actions and inherent visual confounders in long-term action recognition (LTAR) contribute to the persistent challenges in this domain. While methods based on vision-language models that employ label text for supervision offer potential for handling visual confounders, their reliance on statistical correlations rather than causal mechanisms introduces two vulnerabilities: (1) spurious alignments with non-causal co-occurring visual features during cross-modal interaction, and (2) misinterpretation of codependencies among actions. To address these limitations, this paper introduces Progressive Cross-Modal Causal Intervention (PCMCI). PCMCI first mitigates co-occurrence hallucination via causal intervention grounded in optimal transport theory. Subsequently, an action relation-aware mechanism counters the backdoor path induced by codependency illusion, enabling the derivation of deconfounded text embeddings. Finally, these deconfounded embeddings serve as mediator to implement front-door adjustment to remove visual confounders. This progressive causal intervention framework facilitates learning robust representations for LTAR. Experiments on three long-term action benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
IntroSVG: Learning from Rendering Feedback for Text-to-SVG Generation via an Introspective Generator-Critic Framework
PDF ↗Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are central to digital design due to their inherent scalability and editability. Despite significant advancements in content generation enabled by Visual Language Models (VLMs), existing text-to-SVG generation methods are limited by a core challenge: the autoregressive training process does not incorporate visual perception of the final rendered image, which fundamentally constrains generation quality. To address this limitation, we propose an Introspective SVG Generation Framework (IntroSVG). At its core, the framework instantiates a unified VLM that operates in a closed loop, assuming dual roles of both generator and critic. Specifically, through Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), the model learns to draft SVGs and to provide feedback on their rendered outputs; moreover, we systematically convert early-stage failures into high-quality error-correction training data, thereby enhancing model robustness. Subsequently, we leverage a high-capacity teacher VLM to construct a preference dataset and further align the generator's policy through Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). During inference, the optimized generator and critic operate collaboratively in an iterative "generate-review-refine" cycle, starting from imperfect intermediate drafts to autonomously improve output quality. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance across several key evaluation metrics, generating SVGs with more complex structures, stronger semantic alignment, and greater editability. These results corroborate the effectiveness of incorporating explicit visual feedback into the generation loop.
Eliminate Distance Differences Induced by Backdoor Attacks: Layer-Selective Training and Clipping to Mask Backdoor Models
PDF ↗Federated learning (FL) enables a central server to collaboratively train a global model with multiple clients while preserving data privacy. However, the distributed nature of FL makes the paradigm vulnerable to backdoor attacks, as proved by numerous recent studies. Although existing studies improve the effectiveness of backdoor attacks through optimized triggers, they have two limitations: (1) they ignore the heterogeneous contribution of individual model layers to the success of a backdoor; (2) they induce conspicuous differences between backdoor and clean models in the early stages of poisoning. The limitations cause backdoor models to exhibit significant discrepancies from clean models, making them easily detectable. To fill these gaps, we propose LaySelFL, a novel layer-selective method to eliminate distance differences induced by the backdoor to conceal attacks in FL. Our central insight is that different layers contribute unequally to backdoor attacks, by localizing poisoning to layers that are most sensitive to backdoor objectives, an attacker can reduce the model differences substantially between the backdoor and clean models. Concretely, LaySelFL identifies sensitive layers via both dynamic and static evaluations of parameter differences between backdoor and benign models, and then applies a targeted training protocol and a regularized loss that constrains differences from the global model in each round. Finally, LaySelFL performs clipping on non-poisoning layers to further mask residual differences introduced by the attack. This strategy yields a more covert and resilient backdoor attack. Extensive experiments show that LaySelFL increases the effectiveness of attacks by 25% and reduces the effectiveness of defense methods to 4%.
All-in-One Image Restoration (AiOIR) has emerged as a promising yet challenging research direction. To address the core challenges of diverse degradation modeling and detail preservation, we propose UniLDiff, a unified framework enhanced with degradation- and detail-aware mechanisms, unlocking the power of diffusion priors for robust image restoration. Specifically, we introduce a Degradation-Aware Feature Fusion (DAFF) to dynamically inject low-quality features into each denoising step via decoupled fusion and adaptive modulation, enabling implicit modeling of diverse and compound degradations. Furthermore, we design a Detail-Aware Expert Module (DAEM) in the decoder to enhance texture and fine-structure recovery through expert routing. Extensive experiments across multi-task and mixed degradation settings demonstrate that our method consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance, highlighting the practical potential of diffusion priors for unified image restoration.
Disentangle-then-Align: Non-Iterative Hybrid Multimodal Image Registration via Cross-Scale Feature Disentanglement
PDF ↗Multimodal image registration is a fundamental task and a prerequisite for downstream cross-modal analysis. Despite recent progress in shared feature extraction and multi-scale architectures, two key limitations remain. First, some methods use disentanglement to learn shared features but mainly regularize the shared part, allowing modality-private cues to leak into the shared space. Second, most multi-scale frameworks support only a single transformation type, limiting their applicability when global misalignment and local deformation coexist. To address these issues, we formulate hybrid multimodal registration as jointly learning a stable shared feature space and a unified hybrid transformation. Based on this view, we propose HRNet, a Hybrid Registration Network that couples representation disentanglement with hybrid parameter prediction. A shared backbone with Modality-Specific Batch Normalization (MSBN) extracts multi-scale features, while a Cross-scale Disentanglement and Adaptive Projection (CDAP) module suppresses modality-private cues and projects shared features into a stable subspace for matching. Built on this shared space, a Hybrid Parameter Prediction Module (HPPM) performs non-iterative coarse-to-fine estimation of global rigid parameters and deformation fields, which are fused into a coherent deformation field. Extensive experiments on four multimodal datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on rigid and non-rigid registration tasks. The code is available at the project website.
Modeling dynamic 3D environments from LiDAR sequences is central to building reliable 4D worlds for autonomous driving and embodied AI. Existing generative frameworks, however, often treat all spatial regions uniformly, overlooking the varying uncertainty across real-world scenes. This uniform generation leads to artifacts in complex or ambiguous regions, limiting realism and temporal stability. In this work, we present **U4D**, an uncertainty-aware framework for 4D LiDAR world modeling. Our approach first estimates spatial uncertainty maps from a pretrained segmentation model to localize semantically challenging regions. It then performs generation in a "hard-to-easy" manner through two sequential stages: (1) *uncertainty-region modeling*, which reconstructs high-entropy regions with fine geometric fidelity, and (2) *uncertainty-conditioned completion*, which synthesizes the remaining areas under learned structural priors. To further ensure temporal coherence, U4D incorporates a mixture of spatio-temporal (MoST) block that adaptively fuses spatial and temporal representations during diffusion. Extensive experiments show that U4D produces geometrically faithful and temporally consistent LiDAR sequences, advancing the reliability of 4D world modeling for autonomous perception and simulation.
We present Common Inpainted Objects In-N-Out of Context (COinCO), a novel dataset addressing the scarcity of out-of-context examples in existing vision datasets. By systematically replacing objects in COCO images through diffusion-based inpainting, we create 97,722 unique images featuring both contextually coherent and inconsistent scenes, enabling effective context learning. Each inpainted object is meticulously verified and categorized as in- or out-of-context through Large Vision Language Model assessments. We demonstrate three key tasks enabled by COinCO: (1) a fine-grained context reasoning approach that classifies objects as in- or out-of-context based on three criteria; (2) a novel Objects-from-Context prediction task that determines which new objects naturally belong in given scenes at both instance and clique level semantics, and (3) context-enhanced fake detection on state-of-the-art methods without fine-tuning. COinCO provides a controlled testbed with contextual variations, establishing a foundation for advancing context-aware visual understanding in computer vision, including image forensics. Code and dataset are available at https://co-in-co.github.io/.
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in visual reasoning tasks, serving as the core perception engines for emerging AI agents like OpenClaw. While recent studies have introduced several effective image-based jailbreak methods, the vulnerabilities inherent in the video modality remain a largely unexplored frontier. As a pioneering effort to bridge this critical safety gap, we demonstrate that video-driven jailbreak attacks are significantly more effective and robust against pre-defined system prompts than their image-based counterparts. Specifically, we find that simply repeating a harmful image across multiple frames to construct a video can bypass the safety mechanisms of MLLMs. Our analysis reveals that unsafe videos are embedded more similarly to safe videos in the model's representation space than individual harmful images, making them harder to detect. Moreover, videos composed of identical frames are processed more like static images and are more likely to trigger safety defenses compared to videos with diverse frames. Motivated by these findings, we propose an algorithm that injects harmful content into typographic videos by interleaving it with diverse, safety-proximal frames, thereby evading MLLM safety alignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art jailbreak performance on several widely-used MLLMs (e.g., VideoLLaMA-2, Qwen2.5-VL, GPT-4.1, and Gemini-2.5) under 16 different safety policies.
Recent advances in generative modeling can create remarkably realistic synthetic videos, making it increasingly difficult for humans to distinguish them from real ones and necessitating reliable detection methods. However, two key limitations hinder the development of this field.**From the dataset perspective**, existing datasets are often limited in scale and constructed using outdated or narrowly scoped generative models, making it difficult to capture the diversity and rapid evolution of modern generative techniques. Moreover, the dataset construction process frequently prioritizes quantity over quality, neglecting essential aspects such as semantic diversity, scenario coverage, and technological representativeness. **From the benchmark perspective**, current benchmarks largely remain at the stage of dataset creation, leaving many fundamental issues and in-depth analysis yet to be systematically explored.Addressing this gap, we propose AIGVDBench, a benchmark designed to be comprehensive and representative, covering **31** state-of-the-art generation models and over **440,000** videos. By executing more than **1,500** evaluations on **33** existing detectors belonging to four distinct categories. This work presents **8 in-depth analyses** from multiple perspectives and identifying **4 novel findings** that offer valuable insights for the field. We hope this work provides a solid foundation for advancing the field of AI-generated video detection.
$\alpha$Matte4K & $\mu$Matting: Dataset and Model for Ultra-Micro Precision Alpha Video Matting
PDF ↗High-resolution human video matting aims to predict accurate alpha mattes for semi-transparent regions while ensuring temporal consistency across frames. Despite notable progress, current methods still fail to achieve a satisfactory trade-off between quality and efficiency, with limitations in subject stability, temporal modeling, and computational cost. In this paper, we introduce \muMatting, an innovative resolution-agnostic two-stage framework for video matting: (1) coarse matte localization using a portrait-aware masked autoencoder; (2) refinement of critical regions via sparse 3D convolution, augmented by a temporal modulator that injects global spatio-temporal cues for enhanced consistency and contextual awareness. From data perspective, existing research remains limited by the insufficient quality of datasets, including (1) inaccurate alpha fractional values resulting from imperfect annotation, and (2) visual inconsistencies arising from arbitrary foreground-background compositions that lack natural coherence. To address this, we introduce \alphaMatte4K, a large-scale 4K-resolution human video matting dataset, which achieves accurate annotations and physical consistency through physically based rendering (PBR). Extensive experiments show that \muMatting surpasses state-of-the-art methods in accuracy and spatio-temporal consistency, while \alphaMatte4K boosts baseline performance, driving applications in real-world scenarios.
