Contemporary video stylization approaches struggle to achieve artistic stylization while preserving temporal consistency. While generator-based methods produce visually striking stylized results, they suffer from flickering artifacts in dynamic motion scenarios and require prohibitive computational resources. Conversely, non-generative techniques frequently show either temporal inconsistency or inadequate style preservation.We address these limitations by adapting the physics-inspired transport principles from the Transport-based Neural Style Transfer (TNST) framework (originally developed for volumetric fluid stylization) to enforce inter-frame consistency in video stylization.Our framework employs two complementary transformation fields for artistic stylization: a geometric stylization velocity field governing deformation and an orthogonality-regularized color transfer field managing color adaptations. We further strengthen temporal consistency through two key enhancements to our field architecture: a momentum-preserving strategy mitigating vibration artifacts, and an occlusion-aware temporal lookup strategy addressing motion trailing artifacts. Extensive experiments demonstrate FlowStyler's superior performance across dual dimensions: Compared to generator-based approaches, we achieve 4xlower short-term warping errors, while maintaining comparable style fidelity; Against non-generative methods, FlowStyler attains 22% higher style fidelity with slightly improved temporal stability.

ETVA: Evaluation of Text-to-Video Alignment via Fine-grained Question Generation and Answering
PDF ↗Precisely evaluating semantic alignment between text prompts and generated videos remains a challenge in Text-to-Video (T2V) Generation. Existing text-to-video alignment metrics like CLIPScore only generate coarse-grained scores without fine-grained alignment details, failing to align with human preference. To address this limitation, we propose ETVA, a novel Evaluation method of Text-to-Video Alignment via fine-grained question generation and answering. First, a multi-agent system parses prompts into semantic scene graphs to generate atomic questions. Then we design a knowledge-augmented multi-stage reasoning framework for question answering, where an auxiliary LLM first retrieves relevant common-sense knowledge (e.g., physical laws), and then video LLM answers the generated questions through a multi-stage reasoning mechanism. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ETVA achieves a Spearman's correlation coefficient of 58.47, showing a much higher correlation with human judgment than existing metrics, which attain only 31.0. We also construct a comprehensive benchmark specifically designed for text-to-video alignment evaluation, featuring 2k diverse prompts and 12k atomic questions spanning 10 categories. Through a systematic evaluation of 15 existing text-to-video models, we identify their key capabilities and limitations, paving the way for next-generation T2V generation. All codes and datasets will be publicly available soon.
Recent advancements in 3D generation models have opened new possibilities for simulating dynamic 3D object movements and customizing behaviors, yet creating this content remains challenging. Current methods often require manual assignment of precise physical properties for simulations or rely on video generation models to predict them, which is computationally intensive. In this paper, we rethink the usage of multi-modal large language model (MLLM) in physics-based simulation, and present PhysSplat, a physics-based approach that efficiently endows static 3D objects with interactive dynamics. We begin with detailed scene reconstruction and object-level 3D open-vocabulary segmentation, progressing to multi-view image in-painting. Inspired by human visual reasoning, we propose MLLM-based Physical Property Perception (MLLM-P3) to predict the mean physical properties of objects in a zero-shot manner. The Material Property Distribution Prediction model (MPDP) then estimates physical property distributions via geometry-conditioned probabilistic sampling of MLLM-P3 outputs, reformulating the problem as probability distribution estimation to reduce computational costs. Finally, we simulate objects in 3D scenes with particles sampled via the Physical-Geometric Adaptive Sampling (PGAS) strategy, efficiently capturing complex deformations and significantly reducing computational costs. Extensive experiments and user studies demonstrate that our PhysSplat achieves more realistic motion than state-of-the-art methods within 2 minutes on a single GPU.
RoBridge: A Hierarchical Architecture Bridging Cognition and Execution for General Robotic Manipulation
PDF ↗Operating robots in open-ended scenarios with diverse tasks is a crucial research and application direction in robotics. While recent progress in natural language processing and large multimodal models has enhanced robots' ability to understand complex instructions, robot manipulation still faces the procedural skill dilemma and the declarative skill dilemma in open environments. Existing methods often compromise cognitive and executive capabilities. To address these challenges, in this paper, we propose RoBridge, a hierarchical intelligent architecture for general robotic manipulation. It consists of a high-level cognitive planner (HCP) based on a large-scale pre-trained vision-language model (VLM), an invariant operable representation (IOR) serving as a symbolic bridge, and a generalist embodied agent (GEA). RoBridge maintains the declarative skill of VLM and unleashes the procedural skill of reinforcement learning, effectively bridging the gap between cognition and execution. RoBridge demonstrates significant performance improvements over existing baselines, achieving a 75% success rate on new tasks and an 83% average success rate in sim-to-real generalization using only five real-world data samples per task. This work represents a significant step towards integrating cognitive reasoning with physical execution in robotic systems, offering a new paradigm for general robotic manipulation.
3D Gaussian Splatting has demonstrated notable success in large-scale scene reconstruction, but challenges persist due to high training memory consumption and storage overhead. Hybrid representations that integrate implicit and explicit features offer a way to mitigate these limitations. However, when applied in parallelized block-wise training, two critical issues arise since reconstruction accuracy deteriorates due to reduced data diversity when training each block independently, and parallel training restricts the number of divided blocks to the available number of GPUs. To address these issues, we propose Momentum-GS, a novel approach that leverages momentum-based self-distillation to promote consistency and accuracy across the blocks while decoupling the number of blocks from the physical GPU count. Our method maintains a teacher Gaussian decoder updated with momentum, ensuring a stable reference during training. This teacher provides each block with global guidance in a self-distillation manner, promoting spatial consistency in reconstruction. To further ensure consistency across the blocks, we incorporate block weighting, dynamically adjusting each block's weight according to its reconstruction accuracy. Extensive experiments on large-scale scenes show that our method consistently outperforms existing techniques, achieving a 18.7% improvement in LPIPS over CityGaussian with much fewer divided blocks and establishing a new state of the art.
Designing effective embodied multi-agent systems is critical for solving complex real-world tasks across domains. Due to the complexity of multi-agent embodied systems, existing methods fail to automatically generate safe and efficient training data for such systems. To this end, we propose the concept of compositional constraints for embodied multi-agent systems, addressing the challenges arising from collaboration among embodied agents. We design various interfaces tailored to different types of constraints, enabling seamless interaction with the physical world. Leveraging compositional constraints and specifically designed interfaces, we develop an automated data collection framework for embodied multi-agent systems and introduce the first benchmark for embodied multi-agent manipulation, RoboFactory. Based on RoboFactory benchmark, we adapt and evaluate the method of imitation learning and analyzed its performance in different difficulty agent tasks. Furthermore, we explore the architectures and training strategies for multi-agent imitation learning, aiming to build safe and efficient embodied multi-agent systems.
Modeling and rendering dynamic urban driving scenes is crucial for self-driving simulation. Current high-quality methods typically rely on costly manual object tracklet annotations, while self-supervised approaches fail to capture dynamic object motions accurately and decompose scenes properly, resulting in rendering artifacts. We introduce AD-GS, a novel self-supervised framework for high-quality free-viewpoint rendering of driving scenes from a single log. At its core is a novel learnable motion model that integrates locality-aware B-spline curves with global-aware trigonometric functions, enabling flexible yet precise dynamic object modeling. Rather than requiring comprehensive semantic labeling, AD-GS automatically segments scenes into objects and background with the simplified pseudo 2D segmentation, representing objects using dynamic Gaussians and bidirectional temporal visibility masks. Further, our model incorporates visibility reasoning and physically rigid regularization to enhance robustness. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that our annotation-free model significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art annotation-free methods and is competitive with annotation-dependent approaches.
SAFT: Shape and Appearance of Fabrics from Template via Differentiable Physical Simulations from Monocular Video
PDF ↗The reconstruction of three-dimensional dynamic scenes is a well-established yet challenging task within the domain of computer vision. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that combines the domains of 3D geometry reconstruction and appearance estimation for physically based rendering and present a system that is able to perform both tasks for fabrics, utilizing only a single monocular RGB video sequence as input. In order to obtain realistic and high-quality deformations and renderings, a physical simulation of the cloth geometry and differentiable rendering are employed. In this paper, we introduce two novel regularization terms for the 3D reconstruction task that improve the plausibility of the reconstruction by addressing the depth ambiguity problem in monocular video. In comparison with the most recent methods in the field, we have reduced the error in the 3D reconstruction by a factor of 2.64 while requiring a medium runtime of 30 min per scene. Furthermore, the optimized motion achieves sufficient quality to perform an appearance estimation of the deforming object, recovering sharp details from this single monocular RGB video.
While haircut indicates distinct personality, existing avatar generation methods fail to model practical hair due to the data limitation or entangled representation. We propose StrandHead, a novel text-driven method capable of generating 3D hair strands and disentangled head avatars with strand-level attributes. Instead of using large-scale hair-text paired data for supervision, we demonstrate that realistic hair strands can be generated from prompts by distilling 2D generative models pre-trained on human mesh data. To this end, we propose a meshing approach guided by strand geometry to guarantee the gradient flow from the distillation objective to the neural strand representation. The optimization is then regularized by statistically significant haircut features, leading to stable updating of strands against unreasonable drifting. These employed 2D/3D human-centric priors contribute to text-aligned and realistic 3D strand generation. Extensive experiments show that StrandHead achieves the state-of-the-art performance on text to strand generation and disentangled 3D head avatar modeling. The generated 3D hair can be applied on avatars for strand-level editing, as well as implemented in the graphics engine for physical simulation or other applications.

Lens flare significantly degrades image quality, impacting critical computer vision tasks like object detection and autonomous driving. Recent Single Image Flare Removal (SIFR) methods perform poorly when off-frame light sources are incomplete or absent. We propose LightsOut, a diffusion-based outpainting framework tailored to enhance SIFR by reconstructing off-frame light sources. Our method leverages a multitask regression module and LoRA fine-tuned diffusion model to ensure realistic and physically consistent outpainting results. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate LightsOut consistently boosts the performance of existing SIFR methods across challenging scenarios without additional retraining, serving as a universally applicable plug-and-play preprocessing solution.
Most 3D object generators prioritize aesthetic quality, often neglecting the physical constraints necessary for practical applications. One such constraint is that a 3D object should be self-supporting, i.e., remain balanced under gravity. Previous approaches to generating stable 3D objects relied on differentiable physics simulators to optimize geometry at test time, which is slow, unstable, and prone to local optima. Inspired by the literature on aligning generative models with external feedback, we propose Direct Simulation Optimization (DSO). This framework leverages feedback from a (non-differentiable) simulator to increase the likelihood that the 3D generator directly outputs stable 3D objects. We construct a dataset of 3D objects labeled with stability scores obtained from the physics simulator. This dataset enables fine-tuning of the 3D generator using the stability score as an alignment metric, via direct preference optimization (DPO) or direct reward optimization (DRO)---a novel objective we introduce to align diffusion models without requiring pairwise preferences. Our experiments demonstrate that the fine-tuned feed-forward generator, using either the DPO or DRO objective, is significantly faster and more likely to produce stable objects than test-time optimization. Notably, the DSO framework functions even without any ground-truth 3D objects for training, allowing the 3D generator to self-improve by automatically collecting simulation feedback on its own outputs.
Object detection is widely used in real-world applications such as autonomous driving, yet adversarial camouflage poses a significant threat by deceiving detectors from multiple viewpoints. Existing techniques struggle to maintain consistent attack efficacy across different viewpoints. To address this, we propose GRAC, an adversarial camouflage framework that enhances attack effectiveness across viewpoints and distances. First, we identify conflicts in gradient updates across angles and introduce gradient reweighting to resolve them, enabling coordinated optimization. Second, we model light interactions to simulate illumination changes, improving robustness under varying lighting conditions. Additionally, we address non-uniform texture updates arising from inconsistent sampling density during rendering by applying pooling-based texture regularization to improve smoothness. Extensive experiments in both simulated and physical environments demonstrate that GRAC outperforms existing methods across diverse conditions.
Similar to conventional video generation, current deep learning-based weather prediction frameworks often lack explicit physical constraints, leading to unphysical outputs that limit their reliability for operational forecasting. Among various physical processes requiring proper representation, radiation plays a fundamental role as it drives Earth's weather and climate systems. However, accurate simulation of radiative transfer processes remains challenging for traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) models due to their inherent complexity and high computational costs. Here, we propose FuXi-RTM, a hybrid physics-guided deep learning framework designed to enhance weather forecast accuracy while enforcing physical consistency. FuXi-RTM integrates a primary forecasting model (FuXi) with a fixed deep learning-based radiative transfer model (DLRTM) surrogate that efficiently replaces conventional radiation parameterization schemes. This represents the first deep learning-based weather forecasting framework to explicitly incorporate physical process modeling. Evaluated over a comprehensive 5-year dataset, FuXi-RTM outperforms its unconstrained counterpart in 88.51% of 3320 variable and lead time combinations, with improvements in radiative flux predictions. By incorporating additional physical processes, FuXi-RTM paves the way for next-generation weather forecasting systems that are both accurate and physically consistent.
Reconstructing atmospheric surface \text CO _2 is crucial for understanding climate dynamics and informing global mitigation strategies. Traditional inversion models achieve precise global \text CO _2 reconstruction but rely heavily on uncertain prior estimates of fluxes and emissions. Inspired by recent advances in data-driven weather forecasting, we explore whether data-driven models can reduce reliance on these priors. However, \text CO _2 reconstruction presents unique challenges, including complex spatio-temporal dynamics, periodic patterns and sparse observations. We propose \text CO _2-Net, a data-driven model that addresses these challenges without requiring extensive prior data. We formulate \text CO _2 reconstruction as solving a constrained advection-diffusion equation and derive three key components: physics-informed spatio-temporal factorization for capturing complex transport dynamics, wind-based embeddings for modeling periodic variations and a semi-supervised loss for integrating sparse \text CO _2 observations with dense meteorological data. \text CO _2-Net is designed in three sizes---small (S), base (B) and large (L)---to balance performance and efficiency. On CMIP6 reanalysis data, \text CO _2-Net (S) and (L) reduce RMSE by 11% and 71% , respectively, when compared to the best data-driven baseline. On real observations, \text CO _2-Net (L) achieves RMSE comparable to inversion models. The ablation study shows that the effectiveness of wind-based embedding and semi-supervised loss stems from their compatibility with our spatio-temporal factorization.

Deep Adaptive Unfolded Network via Spatial Morphology Stripping and Spectral Filtration for Pan-sharpening
PDF ↗In the field of pan-sharpening, existing deep methods are hindered in deepening cross-modal complementarity in the intermediate feature, and lack effective strategies to harness the network entirety for optimal solutions, exhibiting limited feasibility and interpretability due to their black-box designs. Besides, validating pan-sharpening performance in high-level semantic tasks is intractable for the absence of datasets. To tackle these issues, we propose a deep adaptive unfolded network via spatial morphology stripping and spectral filtration for pan-sharpening, which is conceptualized as a linear inverse problem regularized by spatial and spectral priors. Specifically, we incorporate phase-oriented constraints into the spatial prior to facilitate the extraction of modal-invariant spatial morphology by intrinsic decomposition and leverage a physics-driven spectral filtration attention mechanism aligned with the spectral prior to mine the inherent spectral correlation. After transparently unfolding the model into a multi-stage network, an adaptive stage-exiting mechanism is designed to capitalize on fusion diversity by aggregating optimal image patches across candidate stages. To systematically complete the assessment, we construct the first panoptic segmentation dataset as a semantic-level benchmark for pan-sharpening performance validation. Extensive experiments are conducted to verify the merits of our method with state-of-the-arts. Code is available at https://github.com/Baixuzx7/DAPNet.
Decomposing physically-based materials from images into their constituent properties remains challenging, particularly when maintaining both computational efficiency and physical consistency. While recent diffusion-based approaches have shown promise, they face substantial computational overhead due to multiple denoising steps and separate models for different material properties. We present SuperMat, a single-step framework that achieves high-quality material decomposition with one-step inference. This enables end-to-end training with perceptual and re-render losses while decomposing albedo, metallic, and roughness maps at millisecond-scale speeds. We further extend our framework to 3D objects through a UV refinement network, enabling consistent material estimation across viewpoints while maintaining efficiency. Experiments demonstrate that SuperMat achieves state-of-the-art PBR material decomposition quality while reducing inference time from seconds to milliseconds per image, and completes PBR material estimation for 3D objects in approximately 3 seconds.

Physical adversarial attack methods expose the vulnerabilities of deep neural networks and pose a significant threat to safety-critical scenarios such as autonomous driving. Camouflage-based physical attack is a more promising approach compared to the patch-based attack, offering stronger adversarial effectiveness in complex physical environments. However, most prior work relies on mesh priors of the target object and virtual environments constructed by simulators, which are time-consuming to obtain and inevitably differ from the real world. Moreover, due to the limitations of the backgrounds in training images, previous methods often fail to produce multi-view robust adversarial camouflage and tend to fall into sub-optimal solutions. Due to these reasons, prior work lacks adversarial effectiveness and robustness across diverse viewpoints and physical environments. We propose a physical attack framework based on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), named PGA, which provides rapid and precise reconstruction with few images, along with photo-realistic rendering capabilities. Our framework further enhances cross-view robustness and adversarial effectiveness by preventing mutual and self-occlusion among Gaussians and employing a min-max optimization approach that adjusts the imaging background of each viewpoint, helping the algorithm filter out non-robust adversarial features. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness and superiority of PGA. Our code is available at: https://github.com/TRLou/PGA.
System identification from videos aims to recover object geometry and governing physical laws. Existing methods integrate differentiable rendering with simulation but rely on predefined material priors, limiting their ability to handle unknown ones. We introduce MASIV, the first vision-based framework for material-agnostic system identification. Unlike existing approaches that depend on hand-crafted constitutive laws, MASIV employs learnable neural constitutive models, inferring object dynamics without assuming a scene-specific material prior. However, the absence of full particle state information imposes unique challenges, leading to unstable optimization and physically implausible behaviors. To address this, we introduce dense geometric guidance by reconstructing continuum particle trajectories, providing temporally rich motion constraints beyond sparse visual cues. Comprehensive experiments show that MASIV achieves state-of-the-art performance in geometric accuracy, rendering quality, and generalization ability.
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation is a pillar of modern cosmology that gives rise to a better understanding of the fundamental parameters of the universe. While the astrophysics community has developed computational methods to extract this signal from data, these methods have limited scalability, and several groups have proposed the adoption of computer vision based models for CMB signal extraction. However, these diverse models are difficult to compare: the underlying datasets and evaluations are inconsistent and have not been made publicly available. We propose CMB-ML, a dataset and library that integrates dataset creation, model inference, and result evaluation into a pipeline to fill this gap and to make the problem accessible to researchers outside of cosmology. The library and links for data are available at github.com/CMB-ML/cmb-ml.
ScoreHOI: Physically Plausible Reconstruction of Human-Object Interaction via Score-Guided Diffusion
PDF ↗Joint reconstruction of human-object interaction marks a significant milestone in comprehending the intricate interrelations between humans and their surrounding environment. Nevertheless, previous optimization methods often struggle to achieve physically plausible reconstruction results due to the lack of prior knowledge about human-object interactions. In this paper, we introduce ScoreHOI, an effective diffusion-based optimizer that introduces diffusion priors for the precise recovery of human-object interactions. By harnessing the controllability within score-guided sampling, the diffusion model can reconstruct a conditional distribution of human and object pose given the image observation and object feature. During inference, the ScoreHOI effectively improves the reconstruction results by guiding the denoising process with specific physical constraints. Furthermore, we propose a contact-driven iterative refinement approach to enhance the contact plausibility and improve the reconstruction accuracy. Extensive evaluations on standard benchmarks demonstrate ScoreHOI's superior performance over state-of-the-art methods, highlighting its ability to achieve a precise and robust improvement in joint human-object interaction reconstruction.
