Reconstructing 3D human-object interaction (HOI) from monocular images is highly challenging especially when human and object are mutually occluded. Existing methods primarily rely on single-view inputs, which fundamentally limit their ability to recover occluded regions and accurately estimate contact areas. To address these challenges, we for the first time, consider to introduce novel-view feature priors to enhance monocular 3D HOI reconstruction. We first design a cross-view generator that learns to infer novel-view image features from a single-view input, enriching spatial geometry at the feature level without requiring extra inputs during inference. Guided by both real and generated view features, a spatial cross-view feature fusion module adaptively aggregates complementary cues to enhance the initial reconstruction of human and object meshes. Built upon this reconstruction, we sample 3D vertex features from both views and introduce a bidirectional cross-view Transformer to integrate multi-view vertex representations for accurate contact estimation. Finally, the predicted contact maps are leveraged to refine human-object meshes, yielding geometrically consistent and physically plausible reconstructions.Experiments on BEHAVE and InterCap show that our proposed CrossHOI surpasses state-of-the-art methods in both reconstruction accuracy and contact prediction, especially under severe occlusions.

Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS) typically depends on a single visual modality when defending against presentation attacks such as print attacks, screen replays, and 3D masks, resulting in limited generalization across devices, environments, and attack types. Meanwhile, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have recently achieved breakthroughs in image-text understanding and semantic reasoning, suggesting that integrating visual and linguistic co-inference into FAS can substantially improve both robustness and interpretability. However, the lack of a high-quality vision-language multimodal dataset has been a critical bottleneck. To address this, we introduce FaceCoT (Face Chain-of-Thought), the first large-scale Visual Question Answering (VQA) dataset tailored for FAS. FaceCoT covers 14 spoofing attack types and enriches model learning with high-quality CoT VQA annotations. Meanwhile, we develop a caption model refined via reinforcement learning to expand the dataset and enhance annotation quality. Furthermore, we introduce a CoT-Enhanced Progressive Learning (CEPL) strategy to better leverage the CoT data and boost model performance on FAS tasks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that models trained with FaceCoT and CEPL outperform state-of-the-art methods on multiple benchmark datasets.

Humanoid robots have achieved significant progress in motion generation and control, exhibiting movements that appear increasingly natural and human-like. Inspired by the Turing Test, we propose the Motion Turing Test, a framework that evaluates whether human observers can discriminate between humanoid robot and human poses using only kinematic information. To facilitate this evaluation, we present the Human-Humanoid Motion (HHMotion) dataset, which consists of 1,000 motion sequences spanning 15 action categories, performed by 11 humanoid models and 10 human subjects. All motion sequences are converted into SMPL-X representations to eliminate the influence of visual appearance. We recruited 30 annotators to rate the human-likeness of each pose on a 0-5 scale, resulting in over 500 hours of annotation. Analysis of the collected data reveals that humanoid motions still exhibit noticeable deviations from human movements, particularly in dynamic actions such as jumping, boxing, and running. Building on HHMotion, we formulate a human-likeness evaluation task that aims to automatically predict human-likeness scores from motion data. Despite recent progress in multimodal large language models, we find that they remain inadequate for assessing motion human-likeness. To address this, we propose a simple baseline model and demonstrate that it outperforms several contemporary LLM-based methods.

Generative video models achieve high visual fidelity but often violate basic physical principles, limiting reliability in real-world settings. Prior attempts to inject physics rely on conditioning: frame-level signals are domain-specific and short-horizon, while global text prompts are coarse and noisy, missing fine-grained dynamics. We present PhysVid, a physics-aware local conditioning scheme that operates over temporally contiguous chunks of frames. Each chunk is annotated with physics-grounded descriptions of states, interactions, and constraints, which are fused with the global prompt via chunk-aware cross-attention during training. At inference, we introduce negative physics prompts (descriptions of locally relevant law violations) to steer generation away from implausible trajectories. On VideoPhy, PhysVid improves physical commonsense scores by ~ 33% over baseline video generators, and by up to ~ 8% on VideoPhy2. These results show that local, physics-aware guidance substantially increases physical plausibility in generative video and marks a step toward physics-grounded video models.

Inference-time optimization of diffusion latents enables powerful control but often degrades the statistical structure of true Gaussian noise, causing artifacts and reward hacking. To address this, we propose a Gaussianity regularizer that aligns a sample's local statistics with a typical Gaussian realization, rather than relying on pointwise likelihood. We formalize this by computing the KL divergence between the sample distribution and the Gaussian prior. To make the divergence computation tractable from a single sample, we lift each candidate latent into an empirical distribution induced by its statistics and model it as a pairwise Markov Random Field. This yields a Bethe-Kikuchi-style regularizer with 1D marginal, 2D spatial, and multi-scale terms. Our results show improved latent optimization stability and generation quality over prior approaches.

Estimating the 3D pose of unseen objects from a single image remains a fundamental yet challenging problem in computer vision, especially under a CAD model-free setting.Pioneering attempts address this issue by matching templates generated through Novel View Synthesis (NVS), which essentially aims to learn the geometric transformation from a reference to a target view. While promising, these methods can only approximate this transformation under pixel-level supervision, as the starting orientation remains undefined. In the absence of explicit geometric constraints to verify the correctness of the predicted transformation, existing methods often synthesize novel views with geometry-distorted structures or severely blurred local textures, leading to unreliable template matching and suboptimal pose estimation results. To this end, we propose OrienPose, a novel object pose estimation framework via orientation-aware NVS from a single image. Specifically, we introduce the Orientation-Aware Guidance, which explicitly injects object orientation cues into the reference latent embedding to enhance orientation awareness during viewpoint transformation. We also introduce an orientation consistency loss that supervises viewpoint transformation at the geometric level, establishing sufficient supervision for explicit and geometry-consistent transformation guidance beyond pixel-level similarity. This loss justifies estimating the reference orientation rather than using its ground-truth pose, thereby ensuring the alignment of coordinate domains between the injected and supervised priors. Extensive experiments demonstrate that OrienPose achieves state-of-the-art performance in single-view unseen object pose estimation and impressive robustness to image degradations. Our code is available at https://github.com/pubyLu/OrienPose.

Visual query localization (VQL) aims to predict a spatial-temporal response of the most recent occurrence from a sequence given a query. Currently, most research focuses on visual query localization from 2D videos, while its counterpart in 3D space has received little attention. In this paper, we make the first attempt to visual query localization in the 3D world by introducing a novel benchmark, dubbed 3DVQL. Specifically, 3DVQL contains 2,002 sequences with around 170,000 frames and 6.4K response track segments from 38 object categories. Each sequence in 3DVQL is provided with multiple modalities including point clouds (PC), RGB and depth images to support flexible research. To ensure high-quality annotation, each sequence is manually annotated with multiple rounds of verification and refinement. To our best knowledge, 3DVQL is the first benchmark towards 3D multimodal visual query localization. To facilitate comparison for subsequent research, we implement a series of representative 3D multimodal VQL baselines using PC and RGB. The experimental results show that existing methods exhibit significant performance variations across different fusion modules. To encourage future research, we propose a lift and attention fusion algorithm named LaF, which significantly outperforms existing baseline models. Our benchmark and model will be publicly released at our webpage https://github.com/wuhengliangliang/3DVQL.

Existing single object trackers typically treat temporal modeling superficially by passing limited inter-frame information, such as propagated tokens or template updates, without intrinsic temporal supervision learning. To address this limitation, we propose TGTrack, a new unified tracking framework that incorporates a temporally generative supervision task to guide the model in learning temporal dynamics. The core of TGTrack is a temporally generative learning paradigm equipped with a transformer-based generative decoder, which consists of a gated fusion module and an autoregressive prediction mechanism. This joint design enables the model to infer future scenarios from preceding information, thereby improving its ability to model both visual appearance and temporal dynamics. Furthermore, we introduce a time token embedding to explicitly encode the temporal position of each frame. Experiments on 11 benchmarks spanning five modalities show that TGTrack achieves state-of-the-art performance in robust unified tracking. For instance, TGTrack-B384 achieves an AUC of 75.3% on LaSOT. Code is available at https://github.com/wtg1/TGTrack.

Event cameras provide accurate information at motion boundaries--exactly where disentangling ego-motion, object motion, and border ownership determines segmentation quality. We argue that the missing ingredient in dynamic scene interpretation is moving border ownership: detecting motion boundaries and assigning which side is foreground so occlusions are resolved by design. Traditional geometric motion segmentation pipelines (e.g., flow clustering, simple motion models) remain assumption-heavy and slow, while deep models often fail to generalize across sensors or datasets. We introduce a lightweight, ownership-aware predictor trained solely on synthetic events with perfect supervision for boundaries, ownership, and motion, generated via a Blender pipeline. Its key targets--a signed-distance ownership field and a motion mask--focus learning where events occur and yield stable gradients. The model runs in real time and generalizes without tuning: trained on synthetic events, it achieves zero-shot transfer on EED, EVIMO1, EVIMO2, and EMSMC, delivering state-of-the-art performance. By casting motion segmentation as ownership-aware edge understanding, we combine the robustness of model-based reasoning with the scalability of learning.

Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) aims to segment arbitrary category regions in images using open-vocabulary prompts, necessitating that existing methods possess pixel-level vision-language alignment capability. Typically, this capability involves computing the cosine similarity, ie, logits, between visual and linguistic features, and minimizing the distribution discrepancy between the logits and the ground truth (GT) to generate optimal logits that are subsequently used to construct segmentation maps, yet it depends on time-consuming iterative training or model-specific attention modulation. In this work, we propose a more direct approach that eschews the logits-optimization process by directly deriving an analytic solution for the segmentation map. We posit a key hypothesis: the distribution discrepancy encodes semantic information; specifically, this discrepancy exhibits consistency across patches belonging to the same category but inconsistency across different categories. Based on this hypothesis, we directly utilize the analytic solution of this distribution discrepancy as the semantic maps. In other words, we reformulate the optimization of the distribution discrepancy as deriving its analytic solution, thereby eliminating time-consuming iterative training, freeing us from model-specific attention modulation, and achieving state-of-the-art performance on eight benchmark datasets.

The rapid development of large vision-language model (VLM) has greatly promoted the research of GUI agent. However, GUI agents still face significant challenges in handling long-horizon tasks. First, single-agent models struggle to balance high-level capabilities and low-level execution capability, facing prevalent issues of responsibility coupling and capability conflicts. Second, agents lack awareness of the task state, leading to progress loss in long-horizon tasks. To address these challenges, we propose a staged execution-feedback reinforcement learning algorithm. Unlike training a unified policy model, we focus on training high-level scheduling models. Specifically, we propose and train two agents: a Coordinator, responsible for the strategic planning and task decomposition; and a State Tracker, responsible for context compression and information management to maintain the task's state and coherence. Based on this, we built the Coordinator-Executor-State Tracker (CES) multi-agent framework, which can be integrated with any low-level Executor model, assisting the Executor in solving long-horizon tasks through task scheduling and state management. Experiments on long-horizon task benchmarks demonstrate that CES significantly enhances the system's planning and state management capabilities. Furthermore, analysis confirms that our trained high-level scheduling module is a generalizable, plug-and-play module that significantly enhances the long-horizon capabilities of various Executors.

Generating realistic human geometry animations remains a challenging task, as it requires modeling natural clothing dynamics with fine-grained geometric details under limited data. To address these challenges, we propose two novel designs. First, we propose a compact distribution-based latent representation that enables efficient and high-quality geometry generation. We improve upon previous work by establishing a more uniform mapping between SMPL and avatar geometries. Second, we introduce a generative animation model that fully exploits the diversity of limited motion data. We focus on short-term transitions while maintaining long-term consistency through an identity-conditioned design. These two designs formulate our method as a two-stage framework: the first stage learns a latent space, while the second learns to generate animations within this latent space. We conducted experiments on both our latent space and animation model. We demonstrate that our latent space produces high-fidelity human geometry surpassing previous methods (90% lower Chamfer Dist.). The animation model synthesizes diverse animations with detailed and natural dynamics (2.2 x higher user study score), achieving the best results across all evaluation metrics.

Monocular 3D Object Detection has achieved impressive performance on densely annotated datasets. However, it struggles when only a fraction of objects are labeled due to the high cost of 3D annotation. This sparsely-annotated setting is common in real-world scenarios where annotating every object is impractical.To address this, we propose a novel framework for sparsely-annotated monocular 3D object detection with two key modules.First, we propose Road-Aware Patch Augmentation (RAPA), which leverages sparse annotations by augmenting segmented object patches onto road regions while preserving 3D geometric consistency. Second, we propose Prototype-Based Filtering (PBF), which generates high-quality pseudo-labels by filtering predictions through prototype similarity and depth uncertainty. PBF maintains global 2D RoI feature prototypes and selects pseudo-labels that are both feature-consistent with learned prototypes and have reliable depth estimates.Our training strategy combines geometry-preserving augmentation with prototype-guided pseudo-labeling to achieve robust detection under sparse supervision.Extensive results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The source code will be publicly available.

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in visual-language understanding. Despite their success, LVLMs still suffer from generating hallucinations in complex generation tasks, leading to inconsistencies between visual inputs and generated content. To address this issue, some approaches have introduced inference-time interventions, such as contrastive decoding, to reduce overreliance on language priors. However, these approaches overlook hallucinations stemming from position bias and spurious inter-modality correlations. In this paper, we propose a Cross-Modal Attention Calibration (CMAC) method to mitigate hallucinations in LVLMs in a training-free manner. In this method, we design an Inter-Modality Decoding (IMD) module to alleviate hallucination by a novel contrastive decoding mechanism. IMD masks the value vectors associated with significant cross-modal attention weights as distortion, which addresses both uni-modality overreliance and misleading inter-modality correlations. Additionally, a Cross-Modal Position Calibration (CMPC) module shrinks the position gap of image tokens, alleviating the position bias in cross-modal attention. Experimental results on diverse hallucination benchmarks validate the superiority of our method over existing state-of-the-art techniques in reducing hallucinations for LVLM. Our code will be available.

Audio-visual navigation enables embodied agents to navigate toward sound-emitting targets by leveraging both auditory and visual cues. However, most existing approaches rely on precomputed room impulse responses (RIRs) for binaural audio rendering, restricting agents to discrete grid positions and leading to spatially discontinuous observations. To establish a more realistic setting, we introduce Semantic Audio-Visual Navigation in Continuous Environments (SAVN-CE), where agents can move freely in 3D spaces and perceive temporally and spatially coherent audio-visual streams. In this setting, targets may intermittently become silent or stop emitting sound entirely, causing agents to lose goal information. To tackle this challenge, we propose MAGNet, a multimodal transformer-based model that jointly encodes spatial and semantic goal representations and integrates historical context with self-motion cues to enable memory-augmented goal reasoning. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that MAGNet significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving up to a 12.1% absolute improvement in success rate. These results also highlight its robustness to short-duration sounds and long-distance navigation scenarios. The code is available at https://github.com/yichenzeng24/SAVN-CE.

Despite remarkable progress, multimodal foundation models still exhibit surprising deficiencies in spatial intelligence. In this work, we explore scaling up multimodal foundation models to cultivate spatial intelligence within the SenseNova-SI family, built upon established multimodal foundations including visual understanding models (i.e., Qwen3-VL and InternVL3) and unified understanding and generation models (i.e., Bagel). We take a principled approach to constructing high-performing and robust spatial intelligence by systematically curating SenseNova-SI-8M: eight million diverse data samples under a rigorous taxonomy of spatial capabilities. SenseNova-SI demonstrates unprecedented performance across a broad range of spatial intelligence benchmarks: 68.8% on VSI-Bench, 43.3% on MMSI, 85.7% on MindCube, 54.7% on ViewSpatial, 47.7% on SITE, 63.9% on BLINK, 55.5% on 3DSR, and 72.0% on EmbSpatial, while maintaining strong general multimodal understanding (e.g., 84.9% on MMBench-En). More importantly, we analyze the impact of data scaling, discuss early signs of emergent generalization capabilities enabled by diverse data training, analyze the risk of overfitting and language shortcuts, present a preliminary study on spatial chain-of-thought reasoning, and validate the potential downstream application. All newly trained multimodal foundation models are publicly released.

High-quality pixel-level responses remain a major bottleneck for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) in regional perception. Existing approaches generally attach regression decoders to MLLM features, achieving strong grounding performance but compromising end-to-end design and increasing training costs. Researchers have applied parameter and data scaling to improve pure MLLMs' ability to generate pixel coordinates in natural language, yet the performance gains on grounding tasks remain markedly weaker than those in standard QA tasks. Our analysis shows the primary bottleneck is that conventional scaling fails to effectively enhance the key reasoning stage required for pixel-level regional perception. To address this, we propose R-Ground, a reasoning framework for MLLM-based grounding built upon a multimodal Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm. R-Ground leverages structured reasoning actions, multimodal feature alignment scoring, and regional feature weighted voting to perform scaling at the designated reasoning stage. Extensive experiments demonstrate that R-Ground achieves effective reasoning scaling, enabling a 7B MLLM to match or even surpass a 72B model on the grounding task.

Visual Text Rendering (VTR) remains a critical challenge in text-to-image generation, where even advanced models frequently produce text with structural anomalies such as distortion, blurriness, and misalignment. However, we find that leading MLLMs and specialist OCR models largely fail to perceive these structural anomalies, creating a critical bottleneck for both VTR evaluation and RL-based optimization. As a result, even state-of-the-art generators (e.g., SeedDream4.0, Qwen-Image) still struggle to render structurally faithful text. To address this, we propose TextPecker, a plug-and-play structural anomaly perceptive RL strategy that mitigates noisy reward signals and works with any text-to-image generator. To enable this capability, we construct a recognition dataset with character-level structural-anomaly annotations and develop a stroke-editing synthesis engine to expand structural-error coverage. Experiments show that TextPecker consistently improves diverse text-to-image models; even on the well-optimized Qwen-Image, it significantly yields average gains of 4% in structural fidelity and 8.7% in semantic alignment for Chinese text rendering, establishing a new state-of-the-art in high-fidelity VTR. Our work fills a gap in VTR optimization, providing a foundational step towards reliable and structural faithful visual text generation.

Humans often resolve visual uncertainty by comparing an image with relevant examples, but ViTs lack the ability to identify which examples would improve their predictions. We present Task-Aligned Context Selection (TACS), a framework that learns to select paired examples which truly improve task performance rather than those that merely appear similar. TACS jointly trains a selector network with the task model through a hybrid optimization scheme combining gradient-based supervision and reinforcement learning, making retrieval part of the learning objective. By aligning selection with task rewards, TACS enables discriminative models to discover which contextual examples genuinely help. Across 18 datasets covering fine-grained recognition, medical image classification, and medical image segmentation, TACS consistently outperforms similarity-based retrieval, particularly in challenging or data-limited settings.

Pretrained vision encoders are widely used as frozen, black-box feature extractors, yet they often inherit spurious correlations that disproportionately harm underrepresented groups. We introduce PLD-Debias, a fully black-box debiasing framework that requires neither access to backbone parameters nor demographic annotations. Our method integrates three components: (1) Rank-Regularized Amplification, a lightweight adapter that exaggerates latent spurious directions; (2) Unsupervised Pseudo-Bias Induction, which clusters amplified features to infer high-fidelity proxy bias labels; and (3) Bias-Guided Refinement, combining supervised contrastive alignment with cluster-aware adaptive margins to purify representations and equalize decision boundaries. We theoretically show that these components jointly tighten a worst-group risk bound under spurious correlations. Empirically, PLD-Debias achieves state-of-the-art worst-group accuracy across CelebA, Waterbirds, and CMNIST, improving performance by 3-5 points over prior black-box methods while maintaining average accuracy. Remarkably, our pseudo-bias labels align with ground-truth bias annotations at over 90% fidelity, enabling oracle-level robustness without demographic supervision. Our results demonstrate that fairness and utility can be achieved through a plug-and-play classifier adapter for any frozen foundation model.
