Greenscapes: Optimized Vegetation Configurations in Cities

Patryk Bartkowiak, Marcin Marlewski, Paweł Wójcik, Jae Joong Lee, Dominik L. Michels, Bedrich Benes, Sören Pirk, Wojciech Pałubicki

原文摘要

Vegetation plays a central role in cities, serving functional roles such as balancing shade and sky exposure, shaping the microclimate, carbon sequestration, and providing acoustic screening. Furthermore, aesthetic choices in landscape styles (formal, modernist, picturesque) are important for citizens' well-being and should be considered in the design of urban landscapes. In this paper, we present a novel method for placing vegetation, ranging from shrubs to large trees, in 3D urban scenes. Our method uses individual lots as input and employs a conditioned Vision-Language Model (VLM) to generate a top-down rendering of vegetation, placing large trees, small trees, and shrubs on lawn areas. This rendering is then converted into a 3D scene by detecting individual plants and selecting appropriate 3D assets. To refine the proposed configurations, we define an optimization loop that keeps the VLM-generated positions fixed after a deterministic feasibility repair and uses CMA-ES to optimize per-instance scale transformations along with discrete vegetation asset substitutions. To define the objective function for the optimization, we evaluate the generated 3D scenes with efficient surrogate models of shade and path-based acoustic exposure. Furthermore, we render in-scene views at each optimization step to compute view-dependent perceptual descriptors, enabling the generation of both aesthetic and functional vegetation layouts for urban scenes.

FLORO: A Multimodal Geospatial Foundation Model for Ecological Remote Sensing Across Sensors and Scales

Jorge L. Rodriguez, Victor Angulo Morales, Areej Alwahas, Mariana Elias Lara, Fida Mohammad Thoker, Kasper Johansen, Bernard Ghanem, Fernando T. Maestre 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Foundation models offer a promising route to transferable remote sensing representations, but many current approaches depend on very large pretraining datasets and fixed sensor configurations, limiting their suitability for ecological and environmental applications, where observations often vary across platforms, spatial and spectral resolutions, and available modalities. We introduce FLORO, a multimodal geospatial foundation model designed to learn transferable representations from a small but highly diverse remote sensing corpus. FLORO is pretrained using masked autoencoding on a heterogeneous combination of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, SkySAT imagery, elevation, and UAV-derived data. To accommodate sensor variability, FLORO incorporates availability-aware inputs that indicate which spectral bands and auxiliary modalities are present in each sample, enabling a unified input space across heterogeneous sensor configurations. We evaluated FLORO on the PANGAEA benchmark under a frozen-encoder protocol across scene classification, segmentation, and regression tasks. Despite being pretrained on a smaller corpus than competing foundation models, FLORO achieved strong and stable transfer across optical, optical-SAR, and optical-elevation benchmarks spanning medium-resolution satellite, airborne, and ultra-high-resolution UAV imagery. FLORO obtained the second-best average segmentation performance across six PANGAEA benchmarks, the third-best average rank across three scene-classification benchmarks, and excelled in regression tasks, while qualitative results showed improved preservation of spatial structure in flood, urban, biomass, and canopy-height prediction settings. Overall, these results position FLORO as a practical framework for ecological and environmental monitoring under heterogeneous sensing conditions.

How Much Should a VLA Trust Its Reasoning? Step-Level Guidance as a Measured Action-Value Function

Dabin Seo, Eunhyek Joa

原文摘要

Reasoning vision-language-action (VLA) policies write a reasoning trace and then decode the action from it. A wrong trace yields a wrong action, and even a correct-looking trace can mislead the plan. Existing remedies ask whether the reasoning is right. We ask how strongly it should steer. CoC-CFG applies classifier-free guidance between the policy's context and the same context without the reasoning span. One weight per Euler step attenuates or amplifies the reasoning, and w=1 recovers the original policy. We treat the choice of this weight as a Markov decision process whose action values are measured, not bootstrapped. With the expert frozen and the noise fixed, applying a weight for one step and finishing the plan under the current controller returns that weight's value exactly. Q-adaptive guidance fits these values with small critics and improves the controller conservatively. In the Alpasim driving simulator it outperforms every fixed weight and online RL (SAC, GRPO) in open loop, and in closed loop it passes 262 of 300 scenes, against 252 for the original policy. On held-out frames of the Waymo end-to-end driving benchmark, its first three stages outperform every fixed weight, four adaptive-guidance methods, SAC and GRPO. On the hidden test set, a frozen Alpamayo 1.5 with rule-based camera and vehicle conversions and Q-adaptive guidance sets a new state of the art among published methods: 8.135159 rater feedback score, against 8.079 for the best published method.

CropReward: A Human-Preference Benchmark and Reward Model for Aesthetic Image Cropping

Xiangfei Sheng, Xiaofeng Pan, Leida Li, Qian Zhang, Biao Wang, Johan Wagemans, Weisi Lin

原文摘要

Aesthetic image cropping (AIC) aims to improve image composition and aesthetic quality by removing extraneous or distracting content. Over the past decade, AIC methods have evolved from specialized vision models to multimodal large language models(MLLMs). Reliable evaluation that reflects human preferences is essential for benchmarking AIC methods and guiding model optimization. However, the current AIC evaluation relies largely on geometry-based metrics such as intersection over union (IoU), as well as image aesthetic assessment(IAA) models. Although inconsistencies with human preferences have long been observed, the robustness and reliability of these evaluation criteria remain underexplored. To bridge this gap, we first construct CropBench, a large-scale benchmark comprising 106,995 human preference pairs for 1,019 images, with each candidate set containing the original image and candidate crops produced by 14 AIC methods. A systematic study on CropBench reveals that the existing criteria, ranging from IoU to off-the-shelf IAA assessment models, only exhibit limited alignment with human preferences. Building upon CropBench, we further propose CropReward, an MLLM-based reward model that evaluates a candidate crop by comparing with the original uncropped image and outputs a score indicating explicit aesthetic improvement or degradation relative to the original. In addition, we employ CropReward to construct CropReward-300k, the largest AIC dataset to date, and further develop CropAlign, a preference-aligned AIC model trained solely with CropReward supervision, without human-annotated crop boxes. Experimental results demonstrate that CropReward aligns with human preferences significantly better than AIC existing criteria. CropAlign also surpasses the state-of-the-art AIC methods, demonstrating the advantage of CropReward in guiding AIC model optimization.

Blind Video Denoising for Vocal Tract rtMRI using a Self-Supervised Ensemble

Julian Andres Hernandez-Potes, Tomás Arias-Vergara, Daiqi Liu, Andreas Maier, Paula Andrea Perez-Toro

原文摘要

Real-time magnetic resonance imaging of the vocal tract makes speech articulation directly observable, but the trade-off between temporal resolution and signal quality introduces substantial noise and obscures fine articulatory detail. Since clean references cannot be acquired for a moving vocal tract, supervised denoising approaches are not applicable in this setting. We propose a self-supervised denoising framework that combines spatiotemporal super-resolution learning with pseudo-supervision derived from a variance-stabilized non-local means filter. A dual-model fusion strategy balances noise suppression and preservation of high-frequency articulatory structure. Experiments on the USC-75 multi-speaker dataset under natural noise conditions show that the ensemble raises the signal-to-noise ratio by 11.9 dB on unseen subjects while attaining more high-frequency articulatory content in the frames. Among tuned implementations of anisotropic diffusion, block-matching filtering, non-local means and pre-smoothed non-local means, every configuration that achieves comparable noise suppression does so at the cost of high-frequency content or of structural fidelity. Under severe added Gaussian, Rayleigh and Rician noise, peak signal-to-noise ratio improves by 7.6 to 11.8 dB and structural similarity roughly triples. An ablation shows that the variance-stabilized pseudo-supervision is an essential element for denoising, and that the effect is attributable to the hard thresholding contained in the stabilization transform.

TAU-R1: Visual Language Model for Traffic Anomaly Understanding

Yuqiang Lin, Kehua Chen, Sam Lockyer, Arjun Yadav, Mingxuan Sui, Shucheng Zhang, Yan Shi, Bingzhang Wang 等 15 位作者

原文摘要

Traffic Anomaly Understanding (TAU) is important for traffic safety in Intelligent Transportation Systems. Recent vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong capabilities in video understanding. However, progress on TAU remains limited due to the lack of benchmarks and task-specific methodologies. To address this limitation, we introduce Roundabout-TAU, a dataset constructed from real-world roundabout videos collected in collaboration with the City of Carmel, Indiana. The dataset contains 342 clips and is annotated with more than 2,000 question-answer pairs covering multiple aspects of traffic anomaly understanding. Building on this benchmark, we propose TAU-R1, a two-layer vision-language framework for TAU. The first layer is a lightweight anomaly classifier that performs coarse anomaly categorisation, while the second layer is a larger anomaly reasoner that generates detailed event summaries. To improve task-specific reasoning, we introduce a two-stage training strategy consisting of decomposed-QA-enhanced supervised fine-tuning followed by TAU-GRPO, a GRPO-based post-training method with TAU-specific reward functions. Experimental results show that TAU-R1 achieves strong performance on both anomaly classification and reasoning tasks while maintaining deployment efficiency. The dataset and code are available at: https://github.com/siri-rouser/TAU-R1

Physics Guided Diffusion Model Based Exposure Interpolation for High Dynamic Range Imaging

Zhengguo Li, Chaobing Zheng

原文摘要

Ghosting artifacts are an open problem for popular multi-shot based high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. An effective solution is to capture two large-exposure-ratio (LER) standard dynamic range (SDR) images simultaneously via a single-shot. Brightness order reversal (BOR) artifacts are generated when the two LER images are directly fused together. It is crucial to interpolate an image with an exposure time in between the exposure times of two LER images. In this paper, a novel physics-guided diffusion model based exposure interpolation algorithm is proposed to address the BOR artifacts. An initial image is interpolated by a physics-driven component, and the residual high-frequency details are generated by a new diffusion model based component. The new diffusion model is based on the correlation analysis of generative models and includes a new predicted target to reduce the variation of the Pearson correlation between the noisy data and the target, as well as the amplification factor of the fitting error. Compared with existing neural augmented exposure interpolation algorithms on top of convolution neural networks, the proposed exposure interpolation algorithm has an inherent advantage to generate more high frequency information. Experiment results validate the proposed exposure interpolation algorithm.

Optimizing Incomplete, Large-Scale and Sparse Multi-Graph Matching in Bioimaging

Max Kahl, Sebastian Stricker, Lisa Hutschenreiter, Florian Bernard, Carsten Rother, Bogdan Savchynskyy

原文摘要

Multi-graph matching is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Our work is motivated by a challenging application in bioimaging, where dozens or even hundreds of 3D microscopy images of worms must be brought into correspondence. Existing datasets do not cover this large-scale regime, and virtually all existing methods are inapplicable because they assume a complete or dense problem setting. To support further research, our first contribution is a new large-scale dataset based on problem instances from bioimaging. Our second contribution is a comprehensive analysis of the two main multi-graph matching paradigms: direct and permutation synchronization-based formulations. We argue, in part by proof, that practical large-scale methods must explicitly address problem sparsity and incompleteness. Since standard permutation synchronization approaches fail in this setting, we further introduce a sparse permutation synchronization paradigm. Our final contribution is GREEDA, a general method for sparse and incomplete problems that can be instantiated across cost orders and paradigms. While our paper focuses on objective functions up to quadratic order, GREEDA is inherently generalizable to arbitrary orders. On larger, sparse instances, GREEDA outperforms competing methods in both objective value and runtime. For example, for moderately sized problems based on 30 worm images GREEDA produces a high-quality solution within 2 minutes, whereas competitors require at least an hour and yield far worse results. On smaller dense problems, GREEDA remains on par with leading methods while being an order of magnitude faster.

Mind The Gap (MTG-AD): Dataset and Fine-grained Evaluation for End-to-End Inline Audio Descriptions

Subhashini Venugopalan, Jenny Tan, Taylor Roper, Jimmy Tobin, Anton Kast, Alicia Martin, Sam Sepah, Amy Pavel

原文摘要

Audio descriptions (AD) are essential for making visual media accessible to blind and low-vision (BLV) users. While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer a scalable solution for generating audio descriptions on-demand, their performance on ``inline'' audio descriptions -- which must fit within existing silences in a video -- remains under-explored, particularly for diverse user-generated content (UGC). We present a comprehensive investigation into MLLM-generated inline audio descriptions. First, we introduce MTG-AD, a professionally annotated dataset of 36 hours of videos, each averaging $\sim$5 mins. and 8k+ descriptions in total, co-created by paired blind and sighted AD professionals to provide a high-quality benchmark for this task. Second, we propose MTG-AD-Eval, an evaluation framework based on audio description expert guidelines that provides fine-grained, reference-free actionable metrics for model improvement. Crucially, our framework evaluates the end-to-end task: it renders the generated scripts into audio tracks to assess their fit within the original video's natural silences, minimizing disruptive overlaps. Our analysis across frontier MLLMs reveals that while models accurately describe visual events and substantially reduce speech overlaps, gaps persist in narrative pacing and flow. Finally, we empirically validate that our automated and reference-free metrics correlate significantly with human quality ratings from sighted raters and 7 BLV participants, finding that while users narrowly prefer human-authored audio descriptions, they find MLLM-generated audio descriptions highly beneficial for comprehension. We provide actionable system design guidance and release MTG-AD at https://hf.co/datasets/google/mind-the-gap-inline-ad and MTG-AD-Eval at https://github.com/google/mtg-ad.

UniRA: Unified Representation Alignment and Auto-Encoding for Efficient Diffusion Generation

An Lanji, Dawei Liu, Jin Li, Haoran Xu, Mei Chen, Yu Tian

原文摘要

Diffusion transformers (DiTs) have become the dominant architecture for high-fidelity image synthesis, yet they suffer from slow training convergence and high computational cost. Two recent lines of work address this from complementary angles: Representation Alignment (REPA) accelerates DiT training by aligning intermediate features with a pretrained external representation model (e.g., DINOv2), while Representation Auto-Encoders (RAE) replace the pixel-space VAE with a compact representation-space tokenizer learned from self-supervised features. However, these approaches are developed and applied in isolation: REPA still relies on a pixel-space VAE for latent diffusion, and RAE does not exploit the alignment signal that accelerates the diffusion backbone. We present \textbf{UniRA}, a unified framework that couples representation alignment and representation auto-encoding into a single objective. UniRA learns a representation-space tokenizer whose output serves simultaneously as the diffusion target and the alignment anchor, so the tokenizer, the diffusion backbone, and the external representation model are co-optimized. We give a theoretical result showing that this joint optimization preserves the representation quality of the external model while accelerating diffusion convergence, and we derive a principled weighting that balances the reconstruction, alignment, and generation objectives. On ImageNet class-conditional generation at 256*256 and 512*512, UniRA matches or surpasses state-of-the-art DiTs (SD3, REPA, RAE) in FID while reducing training steps by up to 5*. We further show that the unified representation space supports improved zero-shot classification and linear probing, confirming that generation and understanding benefit from a shared, aligned latent space.

Detector Confidence Signals Presence Rather Than Occlusion in Cluttered Manipulation

Yuanzhi He

原文摘要

Detector confidence is often used to decide whether a robot needs another view of a target. We test this signal against detector-free visibility from geometry segmentation. In controlled clutter, Grounding DINO confidence remains nearly constant as target visibility falls from all scenes to one in eight. OWLv2 and SAM 3 retain positive correlations with visibility, but all three detectors lose target-instance localization under heavy occlusion. Grounding DINO reports a hidden target present in about nine of ten scenes by detecting same-category distractors. Consequently, confidence understates the benefit of additional views ($8$ versus $88$ percentage points). In a $40$-scene localization comparison, additional-view selection and fusion increase target localizability from $5\%$ to $100\%$. Experiments cover nine categories, two simulators, and real video. On DAVIS, confidence correlates positively with visible area, yet $99\%$ of occluded frames yield a detection and $94\%$ of those detections miss the tracked target. These results distinguish category presence from target visibility and motivate target-grounded evaluation of active perception.

Revisiting Multi-View Stereo: A Sequence-to-Sequence Formulation

Aoxiang Fan, Corentin Dumery, Nicolas Talabot, Pascal Fua

原文摘要

Computing accurate geometry from multi-view images is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Recent feed-forward (FF) models jointly estimate 3D geometry and camera parameters, but they typically suffer from geometry distortion caused by reconstruction ambiguity, even when ground-truth camera parameters are supplied. In this paper, we study the multi-view stereo (MVS) problem with known camera parameters and propose a novel approach that bridges conventional MVS and FF methods. Rather than casting MVS as a sequence-to-one mapping that predicts depth only for a single reference view, we reformulate it as a sequence-to-sequence task, akin to FF models, that jointly predicts geometry for all input views. We introduce a global transformer-based architecture with two components that explicitly exploit camera-induced priors: ray-map embeddings that inject camera parameters into image patch tokens, making the transformer camera-aware, and a unified global cost volume that replaces conventional per-view cost volumes to jointly capture 3D structure across all views. Extensive experiments on multiple public benchmarks show our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance, surpassing both MVS and FF reconstruction baselines.

Where Do We (Not) Need Temporal Context in Low-Resource Video Task Adaptation?

Luc P. J. Sträter, Hazel Doughty

原文摘要

Parameter-efficient finetuning (PEFT) and probing enable adaptation of foundation models using only a small number of trainable parameters. This makes these techniques attractive for video understanding where annotation and computation are expensive. However, video PEFT has focused on adapting image-pretrained models, while standard PEFT methods can also be applied to video representations. These settings are rarely compared and both confine temporal reasoning to a single component of the model, leaving open how temporal context should be distributed across backbone, PEFT, and probe. In this work, we provide a systematic study of model adaptation strategies for video understanding. We evaluate methods across appearance-focused, motion-focused and spatially dense settings, with a particular emphasis on scenarios with limited data where parameter efficiency is most beneficial. Our results provide new insights into PEFT and probing across task types and demonstrate the importance of temporal context allocation for effective video adaptation.

ElasticFormer: Detecting Objects in HRW Shots via Elastic Computing Vision Transformer

Wenxi Li, Jingchen Huang, Chenyang Lyu, Moran Liu, Haozhe Lin, Guiguang Ding, Yuchen Guo

原文摘要

Recent advances in gigapixel-level imaging have brought High-Resolution Wide shots to the forefront of research. However, these images present significant challenges: extreme sparsity of foreground, gigapixel-level resolutions and diverse target counts. This makes traditional close-up detectors inaccurate and slow as they are overwhelmed by the background. Although previous research has explored sparse backbones, their fixed sparsity patterns lack the adaptability required to handle diverse target numbers. To address this, we introduce ElasticFormer, a sparse backbone that dynamically allocates computational resources based on foreground proportion. After scoring windows based on variance, proposed ElasticSelector module will predict the foreground proportion for top-k selection. The mechanism guides the model to select target-containing windows, scaling resources in areas where objects are clustered. We introduce a novel loss function combined with the 3-phase training strategy for ElasticSelector, allowing it to function properly when bounding box annotations are missing. A WSOD study is carried on PASCAL VOC 2007 to evaluate its extensibility. Further, ElasticNet is created to verify its backbone-agnostic nature. In experiments on the PANDA gigapixel benchmark, ElasticFormer reduces backbone FLOPs by 80% while achieving a significant improvement in AP50 when compared to fixed-ratio sparse methods.

MLLM-GS: Multimodal Large Language Model Prior-Guided Fast Novel View Synthesis in Extreme Environments

Zhiliang Wu, Xinye Zheng, Kun Li, Fei Wang, Hao Guo, Yanyan Wei, Guanghui Yue, Beier Zhu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Novel view synthesis (NVS) in degraded scenes aims to reconstruct 3D scenes from multi-view observations affected by various degradations, and to generate clear and photorealistic images at unseen viewpoints. Despite recent advances, existing methods often rely on degradation-specific models, limiting their generalization across diverse extreme environments. Generative models provide rich visual priors, but their outputs often suffer from pixel misalignment and color deviations, which can propagate into the reconstructed 3D scene and compromise reconstruction quality. Furthermore, the high computational and memory costs of 3D reconstruction hinder the practical application of NVS in extreme environments. To this end, we propose MLLM-GS, a multimodal large language model (MLLM) prior-guided framework for fast NVS in extreme environments. MLLM-GS consists of two branches: MLLM prior-guided view enhancement and fast 3D scene reconstruction. The former leverages the rich visual priors of a frozen MLLM to enhance views under different severe degradations and introduces a lightweight correction network to reduce pixel shifts and color distortions in MLLM outputs. With supervision from only a few paired clean views, this branch produces reliable enhanced views for all degraded observations, providing pseudo-GT views for subsequent 3D reconstruction. The latter improves 3DGS efficiency by optimizing rasterization, Gaussian memory layout, and parameter updates, reducing redundant computation, memory-access overhead, and optimization costs. Extensive experiments on multiple degraded scenes demonstrate that MLLM-GS effectively handles various severe degradations and achieves high-quality NVS with significantly lower reconstruction time and memory consumption.

Spectral Invariant Fusion and Refinement for Domain Generalized Semantic Segmentation

Yansong Bai, Yunzhi Zhuge, Xinzhuo Yu, Lu Zhang, Jin Zhan, Pingping Zhang, Huchuan Lu

原文摘要

Domain generalized semantic segmentation is challenging because it requires accurate dense prediction on unseen domains without any access to target-domain data during training. Existing methods improve transferability through data diversification, invariant learning, or direct use of foundation models, but they often struggle to simultaneously suppress domain-sensitive interference and preserve fine-grained spatial cues. In this work, we propose SIFR, a frequency-aware dual-stream framework that tackles domain shift at both the fusion and decoding stages. SIFR uses spectral modeling as a unified principle to regulate both heterogeneous prior interaction and dense decoder refinement. Instead of directly fusing frozen CLIP and DINOv2 features, SIFR performs spectral-guided invariant fusion to filter out domain-sensitive responses while preserving complementary semantic and structural information. In addition, SIFR incorporates a spectral decoder refinement module that stabilizes multi-scale decoder features through low-frequency statistics-based normalization and adaptive frequency selection, thereby reducing the propagation of residual domain bias in dense prediction. This design enables SIFR to jointly improve domain robustness and segmentation precision under severe distribution shifts. Extensive experiments on multiple DGSS benchmarks, including synthetic-to-real, real-to-real, and adverse-weather settings, demonstrate consistent improvements over previous state-of-the-art methods.

PhysAg3D: Bridging 3D Generative and Agentic Models for High-Fidelity and Physically-Interactive Assets

Bi'an Du, Fanpeng Meng, Jiemin Fang, Chen Yang, Pufan Li, Daizong Liu, Qi Tian, Wei Hu

原文摘要

Generating interactive 3D assets from a single image requires realistic appearance, fidelity to the depicted object, and plausible physical behavior. Yet detailed geometry alone does not determine how an object should move or deform. We introduce PhysAg3D, which couples 3D generative models with agentic reasoning and tool use. A vision-language agent first infers semantic parts, candidate interactions, and physical priors from the image; a 3D generator then produces a textured whole-object mesh from the same image. A hierarchical interaction representation links these revisable priors to mechanisms and the generated surfaces they control, organizing interaction construction and refinement. Guided by this representation and observations of the mesh, the agent uses geometric and physical tools to construct parts, joints, deformable regions, and surface bindings while retaining useful generated geometry and materials. Rendered interactions and execution measurements guide targeted revisions within a fixed budget. The framework accommodates both rigid articulation and compliant deformation. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations on real photographs and external benchmarks demonstrate detailed, image-aligned assets with plausible interactions. Ablations support bounded refinement and source-surface preservation. Project Page: supra-3d.github.io/PhysAg3D.

NucShare: Lightweight Nuclei Instance Segmentation with Foundation-Model Accuracy

Wenyan Li, Xiangyang Jia, Wenlong Zhong, Xu Chen

原文摘要

Nuclei instance segmentation is fundamental to quantitative pathology. Yet high-accuracy methods mostly build on large vision transformers (ViTs) or heavy convolutional backbones, whose parameter count and compute cost hinder deployment in clinical and edge settings. We present NucShare, a lightweight model whose shared decoder handles nuclear pixel segmentation, horizontal-vertical distance, and classification through learnable transposed convolutions for upsampling and three lightweight heads, using 37% of independent decoders' parameters with no loss in accuracy. Output-level distillation then transfers knowledge from NucShare-T (UNI2-h) to NucShare-S (ConvNeXt V2-Tiny), reducing 690.5M parameters to 34.7M. On PanNuke they reach mPQ 0.524 and 0.519, above the prior best CFR-SAM-H at 0.511, and NucShare-S surpasses HoVer-Net and Mask R-CNN by 5.6 and 15.0 points; on zero-shot MoNuSeg it attains bPQ 0.668 against CFR-SAM-H's 0.662.

Precision Synthesis of Multi-Tracer PET via VLM-Modulated Rectified Flow for Stratifying Mild Cognitive Impairment

Shuijin Lin, Shaozhen Yan, Tuo Liu, Haifeng Wang, Chunfeng Lian, Jie Lu, Jianhua Ma, Lin Xie

原文摘要

The biological definition of Alzheimer's disease (AD) relies on multi-modal neuroimaging, yet the clinical utility of positron emission tomography (PET) is limited by cost and radiation exposure, hindering early screening at preclinical or prodromal stages. While generative models offer a promising alternative by synthesizing PET from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), achieving subject-specific precision remains a primary challenge. Here, we introduce DIReCT$++$, a Domain-Informed ReCTified flow model for synthesizing multi-tracer PET from MRI combined with fundamental clinical information. Our approach integrates a 3D rectified flow architecture to capture complex cross-modal and cross-tracer relationships with a domain-adapted vision-language model (BiomedCLIP) that provides text-guided, personalized generation using clinical scores and imaging knowledge. Extensive evaluations on multi-center datasets demonstrate that DIReCT$++$ not only produces synthetic PET images ($^{18}$F-AV-45 and $^{18}$F-FDG) of superior fidelity and generalizability but also accurately recapitulates disease-specific patterns. Crucially, combining these synthesized PET images with MRI enables precise personalized stratification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), advancing a scalable, data-efficient tool for the early diagnosis and prognostic prediction of AD. The source code will be released on https://github.com/ladderlab-xjtu/DIReCT-PLUS.

sDMD: Sinkhorn Distribution Matching Distillation

Jaihoon Kim, Lingxiao Li, Soshi Shimada, Roshni Cooper, Minhyuk Sung, Yiwei Zhao

原文摘要

Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) distills multi-step diffusion models into few-step generators by minimizing reverse KL divergence. Despite its strong performance, DMD guides samples by local density alone, which introduces two limitations: teacher scores can be unreliable in regions of low teacher density, and the mode-seeking behavior of reverse KL can collapse the student onto a subset of the teacher modes. We first connect DMD to Wasserstein gradient flow, showing that its gradient follows from a fixed-point formulation with integral KL (IKL) as the energy functional. This perspective motivates augmenting IKL with an optimal transport term that addresses these limitations by guiding outlier samples toward the target and promoting mode coverage. We realize this term using Sinkhorn divergence estimated from finite batches. In practice, however, errors in the estimated Sinkhorn velocity can perturb in-domain samples for which IKL guidance is already accurate. To this end, we introduce sDMD, which adaptively activates the Sinkhorn correction based on discriminator outputs, focusing on outlier samples where IKL may be unreliable. With 2--4 sampling steps on FLUX.1-dev, Qwen-Image-20B, and Wan2.1-14B, sDMD outperforms distillation baselines on GenEval, DPG, WISE, and VBench while improving sample diversity over DMD2.

SD-MVSum: Script-Driven Multimodal Video Summarization Method and Datasets

Manolis Mylonas, Charalampia Zerva, Evlampios Apostolidis, Vasileios Mezaris

原文摘要

In this work, we present a method and two large-scale datasets for Script-Driven Multimodal Video Summarization. The proposed method, SD-MVSum, builds on our earlier SD-VSum method for script-driven video summarization. SD-VSum considered the relevance of a provided script, which outlines the desired content of the summary, only with the visual content of the video. SD-MVSum takes into account, in addition to the visual modality, the relevance of the script with the spoken content (i.e., the audio transcript) of the video. The dependence between each considered pair of data modalities, i.e., script-video and script-transcript, is modeled using a new weighted cross-modal attention mechanism. This mechanism explicitly exploits the semantic similarity between the paired modalities in order to promote the parts of the full-length video with the highest relevance to the script. Furthermore, we extend two large-scale datasets for script-driven (S-VideoXum) and generic (MrHiSum) video summarization, to make them suitable for training and evaluation of script-driven multimodal video summarization methods. Experimental comparisons document the competitiveness of the proposed SD-MVSum method against other SotA approaches for script-driven and generic video summarization. Our new method and extended datasets are available at: https://github.com/IDT-ITI/SD-MVSum.

MER-Bench: Benchmarking Multimodal Emotional Reappraisal for Image-Text Memes

Yiqi Nie, Fei Wang, Junjie Chen, Kun Li, Yudi Cai, Dan Guo, Chenglong Li, Meng Wang

原文摘要

Multimodal Emotional Reappraisal (MER) aims to shift affective interpretation by rewriting and editing a situation without altering its underlying semantic context. Despite advances in controllable editing and sentiment transfer, MER remains challenging under coupled multimodal constraints, especially in internet memes where images, embedded text, and layout jointly encode affective meaning. To bridge this gap, we present MER-Bench, a systematic benchmark for MER on image-text memes, containing over 3,000 real-world memes with fine-grained annotations for emotion transformation and structure-preserving multimodal editing. MER-Bench spans diverse visual, textual, and structural settings and is paired with a structured MLLM-as-a-Judge evaluation suite, comprising eight fine-grained metrics and three aggregated objectives for emotional alignment, content fidelity, and transformation strength. Extensive evaluation of 14 advanced multimodal models reveals that: (1) current models struggle to jointly balance affect, semantics, structure, and text; (2) strong visual editing does not imply effective MER, with poor embedded text rendering and affect-aware rewriting remaining key bottlenecks. Our results identify MER as a critical capability gap in current multimodal generation systems and highlight affective image-text reasoning as a key challenge for future work.

What Survives Label Downsampling? Exact Region Survival for Coarse Segmentation Targets

Zhiyuan Zhang, Yukun Ou, San Tek Choi

原文摘要

Segmentation networks that predict at an output stride are trained against label maps downsampled by strided sampling, nearest-neighbor resampling or majority pooling. These methods label each coarse grid cell on its own, so a region that wins no cell is absent from the target and receives no positive label. We present MatchDown, which builds the coarse target from a minimum-cost matching between regions and the grid cells they occupy. It keeps as many regions as any one-region-per-cell target can, certifies how many losses are unavoidable, and with priority tiers (MatchDown-P) keeps every evaluated region (a region that a metric scores) of at least one cell's area. On COCO, Cityscapes and BBBC038 at factors 2 to 16, MatchDown-P loses exactly the minimum number of regions, whereas the downsampling used by StarDist, nnU-Net and connectomics pyramids loses four to five times as many on COCO at factor 8. Keeping a region in the target and reconstructing its shape are different problems: we show that no region lost by majority pooling can be reconstructed above IoU 0.5 by upsampling any coarse target, yet on BBBC038 a star-convex head trained on MatchDown targets segments 35% of the nuclei that majority pooling loses above IoU 0.5, against 15% when trained on majority targets and 24% on StarDist's strided target. On two nucleus datasets, with thresholds cross-validated for count error, this head has instance accuracy at IoU 0.5 (Acc50) 2.6 to 4.2 points above the strided target and at most 2.8 points below cell-center sampling, and a lower count error than the strided and cell-center targets on BBBC039. On BBBC039, an affinity head, which outputs one label per cell, lowers count error relative to majority targets by 9.3 nuclei per image at 7.2 points lower Acc50. MatchDown runs once, before training, in place of the label-downsampling step.

SRC-Flow: Compact Semantic Representations Enable Normalizing Flows for Image Generation

Longtao Jiang, Jianmin Bao, Zhendong Wang, Xin Tao, Zhihui Li, Xiaojun Chang

原文摘要

Normalizing flows (NFs) provide exact likelihoods and deterministic invertible sampling, but have historically lagged behind diffusion models for large-scale image generation. We identify a key obstacle: NFs are required to learn a single invertible transport over the full ambient space, making them highly sensitive to high-dimensional representations. This leads to a semantic-capacity mismatch in modern visual representation spaces, where semantic information is compact but encoded in overcomplete features. We propose SRC-Flow, which introduces a Semantic Representation Compressor (SRC) to compact high-dimensional RAE features into a low-dimensional semantic space before flow modeling and preserve reconstruction through the frozen RAE decoder. This compact space reduces the modeling burden of NFs and enables effective likelihood-based generation in semantic representation space. We further adopt constant noise regularization tailored to the fixed unconditional bijection learned by flows. On ImageNet 256x256 and 512x512, SRC-Flow achieves state-of-the-art generation quality among normalizing flow methods, with gFID scores of 1.65 and 2.07 under classifier-free guidance, while retaining exact likelihood computation in the compact semantic representation space and deterministic invertible sampling at the flow level. Codes and models will be released in the future.

Fast and Useful: Adapting Distilled Generators for Visual Learning

Patryk Bartkowiak, Dominik Michels, Sören Pirk, Wojciech Pałubicki

原文摘要

Distilled text-to-image models generate images quickly, but classifiers trained on those images can perform substantially worse than classifiers trained on images from their slower base models. We adapt released distilled generators to produce better training data while retaining fast generation. We fit a low-rank update to the student's first prediction so that it reaches an intermediate state produced by its unguided base, then disable the update and let the unchanged student finish generation. The base supplies training targets and is absent at inference. Guided targets and shorter jumps give classifiers lower accuracy in our ablations, showing why the state used for supervision matters. Across three generator families, the adapted images train better classifiers than images from the released students. With class-name templates at full ImageNet-1k scale, ResNet-50 top-1 rises from 8.4% to 34.2% for FLUX.2-klein and from 12.7% to 32.1% for SD-Turbo, using two and three denoiser evaluations per image, respectively. Fixed adapters also improve results on additional classes, fine-grained datasets, and other learner architectures and training recipes. Template-based adaptation remains useful against richer-prompt alternatives, while the benefit of combining adaptation with LLM generation prompts depends on the generator. Adapting a single generation step makes fast generators substantially more useful for training visual models.

DiffRatio: Training One-Step Diffusion Models Without Teacher Supervision

Wenlin Chen, Mingtian Zhang, Jiajun He, Zijing Ou, José Miguel Hernández-Lobato, Bernhard Schölkopf, David Barber

原文摘要

Score-based distillation methods train one-step diffusion models in two stages: they first train a teacher score model, then distill it into a one-step student model. However, this distillation process can introduce bias from two sources: errors in the teacher score model and student score estimate. We propose DiffRatio, a new approach for training one-step diffusion models without teacher supervision based on a density-ratio formulation that connects score-based distribution matching and GAN-style adversarial training. Instead of using a teacher score model to provide training targets, DiffRatio directly learns a log density ratio between the student and data distributions across diffusion time steps. As a pre-trained score model is only used to initialize the one-step generator and does not supervise training, this design simplifies the training pipeline, mitigates gradient estimation bias, and reduces the size of auxiliary networks. The learned density ratio can be used as a verifier, enabling a principled inference-time parallel scaling method that further improves sample quality without external rewards or extra sequential computation. DiffRatio achieves strong one-step generation results on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet (64x64 and 512x512), outperforming most teacher-supervised distillation methods.

Parametric Gaussian Noise Mixer (PGNM): Unified Synthesis of Camera Noise and Film Grain

Mingyang Song

原文摘要

Noise synthesis is commonly approached through physical models of image formation or neural networks trained to generate noisy images. We explore a middle ground: an explicit statistical model fitted directly from paired clean and noisy images. A normalized convolution correlates a Gaussian field across pixels and color channels, and a lookup maps each Gaussian value to a residual given the clean intensity. Because the field stays standard Gaussian, the two components are fitted separately, without reproducing the physical process or training a neural generator. With one formulation for camera noise from SIDD and simulated film grain from Newson, the model has the lowest average distribution and correlation errors on SIDD among the evaluated methods and remains competitive on film grain. A denoiser trained on its noise comes closest to one trained on real noise, and a 1080p frame renders in 10 ms on GPU.

Asymmetric Flow Models

Hansheng Chen, Jan Ackermann, Minseo Kim, Gordon Wetzstein, Leonidas Guibas

原文摘要

Flow-based generation in high-dimensional pixel spaces is difficult because velocity prediction requires modeling high-dimensional noise, even when data has strong low-rank structure. We present Asymmetric Flow Modeling (AsymFlow), a rank-asymmetric velocity parameterization that restricts noise prediction to a low-rank subspace while keeping data prediction full-dimensional. From this asymmetric prediction, AsymFlow analytically recovers the full-dimensional velocity, leaving the network architecture and the standard flow-matching training and sampling procedures unchanged. On ImageNet 256$\times$256, AsymFlow achieves a leading 1.57 FID, outperforming prior DiT/JiT-like pixel diffusion models by a large margin. AsymFlow also provides the first-ever route for finetuning pretrained latent flow models into pixel-space models: aligning the low-rank pixel subspace to the latent space gives a seamless initialization that preserves the latent model's high-level semantics and structure, so finetuning mainly improves low-level mismatches rather than relearning pixel generation. We show that the pixel AsymFlow model finetuned from FLUX.2 klein 9B establishes a new state of the art for pixel-space text-to-image generation, beating its latent base on HPSv3, DPG-Bench, and GenEval while qualitatively showing substantially improved visual realism.

Open-set multi-view seahorse re-identification from underwater photograph sequences

Tristan Fauvel, Sylvie Louisy, Patrick Louisy, Thomas Fauvel

原文摘要

Automated animal re-identification from photograph sequences can facilitate minimally invasive Capture-Mark-Recapture studies at scale. Yet, photographs taken during an observation session can vary greatly in quality, not always providing the necessary information for accurate re-identification. In this paper, we present new methods for taxonomic classification, sex determination, and open-set re-identification from image sequences. We train and evaluate our models on a dataset of 35,914 photographs of 474 individual seahorses observed in the wild. We demonstrate that our approach, by combining information from multiple photographs, yields state-of-the-art performance.

Focused Forcing: Content-Aware Per-Frame KV Selection for Efficient Autoregressive Video Diffusion

Peiliang Cai, Evelyn Zhang, Jiacheng Liu, Hao Lin, Ruiqi Zhang, Weile Mo, Yue Ma, Shikang Zheng 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Recent advances in autoregressive video diffusion have enabled sequential and streaming video generation. However, long-horizon generation requires increasingly large KV caches, making efficient compression without sacrificing quality challenging. Existing methods mostly select historical frames based on attention scores, but their context decisions remain coarse. When multiple frames are generated in the same chunk, these methods often apply a shared history selection to the whole chunk, score historical frames solely by attention, and assign head-wise budgets either uniformly or by attention-pattern heuristics rather than explicit head-importance estimation. We show that frames within the same generated chunk can depend on distinct historical frames, that the same historical frame can receive different attention scores as its relative temporal distance to the current frames changes, and that masking different heads induces unequal generation degradation. Motivated by these findings, we propose Focused Forcing, a training-free KV selection method that focuses cached history along both generated-frame and head dimensions. For each generated frame, Focused Forcing preserves the most relevant and distinctive historical frames by combining attention scores with diversity scores of historical frames, while assigning larger budgets to heads with higher estimated importance. Across multiple autoregressive generation paradigms, Focused Forcing achieves up to 1.48x end-to-end acceleration without training, while improving visual quality and text alignment. Our code is available at https://github.com/caipeiliang2004/Focused-Forcing.
