Robots, autonomous vehicles, and consumer 360° cameras use fisheye lenses for wide fields of view (FoVs). Simulation-ready digital twins require photorealistic rendering across the full FoV and an aligned collision mesh. However, prior fisheye Gaussian Splatting methods only rasterize up to 180° and do not produce meshes, while Gaussian surface reconstruction methods assume pinhole training images. We present GOFish, the first 3D Gaussian Splatting surface reconstruction method to train directly on fisheye images, rasterize FoVs beyond 180°, and extract an aligned mesh from the same scene. Calibrated densification recovers the surface across the entire FoV, while Calibrated Mip Filtering and Wide-Angle Appearance Modeling keep pixel blur and lens falloff out of the scene and mesh. Across the 200° FIORD and 205° FullCircle benchmarks, GOFish improves PSNR over the best prior method by 2.28 and 1.97 dB, respectively. It also outperforms fisheye rendering baselines within their own FoVs and achieves the highest mesh F-score on FIORD and the main ScanNet++ set. Together, the Gaussian scene and mesh form a LiDAR-free, simulation-ready digital twin that renders in real time, ray traces the full FoV, and provides collision geometry.

Feed-forward models regress dense 3D point trajectories directly from monocular video, yet the residual after global alignment is substantial and lacks a structural explanation. Measured on dynamic query points across models and datasets, the error concentrates along the view direction, while the scale correction each motion group requires differs. The predicted displacement direction nevertheless supports reliable grouping, with a median angle far below the 90° random baseline. The systematic part of the residual is therefore a family of radial degrees of freedom per motion group, along directions 2D observations cannot constrain. We call it group-wise view inconsistency. We present GAUGE (Group-wise Adaptive Unsupervised Gauge Estimation), a training-free and model-agnostic post-hoc module. It recovers motion groups from direction consistency and spatial connectivity, then estimates a per-frame radial scale and group-level translation from 1% to 5% metric anchors, four degrees of freedom per group and frame. On dynamic query points of eight trackers, including D4RT, 4RC and SM4RT, our correction lowers endpoint error by 15.1% to 62.6% over the uncorrected predictions, while spending the same anchors on gradient fine-tuning improves the same models by only -1.1% to 15.2%.

The content-agnostic, fixed-grid tokenizers used by standard large-scale vision models like Vision Transformer (ViT) and Vision Mamba (Vim) represent a fundamental performance bottleneck, creating a trade-off between capturing fine-grained detail and suffering from redundant computation. To resolve this dilemma, we introduce DART, a fully differentiable Dynamic Adaptive Region Tokenizer. DART employs learnable region scores and quantile-based partitioning to create content-aware patches of varying sizes, intelligently allocating a higher token density to information-rich regions. The impact of this approach is profound: it unlocks a more intelligent scaling paradigm, where a DART-equipped DeiT-Small (22M parameters) matches the performance of a DeiT-Base (86M) with nearly double the inference speed by efficiently capturing high-resolution details in key regions. Furthermore, the principle of adaptive tokenization proves its generality with clear benefits in dense prediction and spatiotemporal video tasks. We argue that by resolving the tokenizer bottleneck at its source, adaptive tokenization is a key component for building the next generation of more efficient and capable foundation models for multimodal AI, robotics, and content generation.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated impressive capabilities in generalized robotic control; however, they remain notoriously brittle to linguistic perturbations. We identify a critical "modality collapse” phenomenon where strong visual priors overwhelm sparse linguistic signals, causing agents to overfit to specific instruction phrasings while ignoring the underlying semantic intent. To address this, we propose Residual Semantic Steering (RSS), a probabilistic framework that disentangles physical affordance from semantic execution. RSS introduces two theoretical innovations: (1) Monte Carlo Syntactic Integration, which approximates the true semantic posterior via dense, LLM-driven distributional expansion, and (2) Residual Affordance Steering, a dual-stream decoding mechanism that explicitly isolates the causal influence of language by subtracting the visual affordance prior. Theoretical analysis suggests that RSS effectively maximizes the mutual information between action and intent while suppressing visual distractors. Empirical results across diverse manipulation benchmarks demonstrate that RSS achieves state-of-the-art robustness, maintaining performance even under adversarial linguistic perturbations.

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has significantly advanced the reasoning ability of vision-language models (VLMs). However, the inherent text-dominated nature of VLMs often leads to insufficient visual faithfulness, characterized by sparse attention activation to visual tokens. More importantly, our empirical analysis reveals that temporal visual forgetting along reasoning steps exacerbates this deficiency. To bridge this gap, we propose Visually-Guided Policy Optimization (VGPO), a novel framework to reinforce visual focus during policy optimization. Specifically, VGPO initially introduces a Visual Attention Compensation mechanism that leverages visual similarity to localize and amplify visual cues, while progressively elevating visual expectations in later steps to counteract visual forgetting. Building on this mechanism, we implement a dual-grained advantage re-weighting strategy: the intra-trajectory level highlights tokens exhibiting relatively high visual activation, while the inter-trajectory level prioritizes trajectories demonstrating superior visual accumulation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that VGPO achieves better visual activation and superior performance in mathematical multimodal reasoning and visual-dependent tasks. The code has been released at https://github.com/wzb-bupt/VGPO.
