Open-vocabulary object detection (OVOD) enables models to detect any object category, including unseen ones. Benefiting from large-scale pre-training, existing OVOD methods achieve strong detection performance on general scenarios (e.g., OV-COCO) but suffer severe performance drops when transferred to downstream tasks with substantial domain shifts. This degradation stems from the scarcity and weak semantics of category labels in domain-specific task, as well as the inability of existing models to capture auxiliary semantics beyond coarse-grained category label. To address these issues, we propose HSA-DINO, a parameter-efficient semantic augmentation framework for enhancing open-vocabulary object detection. Specifically, we propose a multi-scale prompt bank that leverages image feature pyramids to capture hierarchical semantics and select domain-specific local semantic prompts, progressively enriching textual representations from coarse to fine-grained levels. Furthermore, we introduce a semantic-aware router that dynamically selects the appropriate semantic augmentation strategy during inference, thereby preventing parameter updates from degrading the generalization ability of the pre-trained OVOD model. We evaluate HSA-DINO on OV-COCO, several vertical domain datasets, and modified benchmark settings. The results show that HSA-DINO performs favorably against previous state-of-the-art methods, achieving a superior trade-off between domain adaptability and open-vocabulary generalization.

Digital watermarking is a cornerstone for copyright protection. With the rapid advancement of generative models like diffusion models, in-generation and training-free watermarking techniques have garnered more attention for their endogeneity and convenience. These methods typically embed a watermark into the initial noise, where watermark extraction relies on Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models (DDIM) inversion. However, the computationally intensive extraction process severely hinders their path toward practical deployment. To overcome this critical bottleneck, we propose GROW, a novel training-free paradigm that reframes watermarking from a one-shot "embedding" to a progressive "growth". By progressively guiding using frequency-domain gradients, GROW naturally weaves the watermark into the image, which enables inversion-free extraction. Comprehensive experiments on multiple datasets show that GROW not only achieves superior robustness and imperceptibility but also offers a detection speed nearly 100x faster than inversion-based techniques. The code will be made publicly available.

Open-Vocabulary Temporal Action Detection (OV-TAD) aims to classify and localize action segments in untrimmed videos for unseen categories. Previous methods rely solely on global alignment between label-level semantics and visual features, which is insufficient to transfer temporal consistent visual knowledge from seen to unseen classes. To address this, we propose a Phase-wise Decomposition and Alignment (PDA) framework, which enables fine-grained action pattern learning for effective prior knowledge transfer. Specifically, we first introduce the CoT-Prompting Semantic Decomposition (CSD) module, which leverages the chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning ability of large language models to automatically decompose action labels into coherent phase-level descriptions, emulating human cognitive processes. Then, Text-infused Foreground Filtering (TIF) module is introduced to adaptively filter action-relevant segments for each phase leveraging phase-wise semantic cues, producing semantically aligned visual representations. Furthermore, we propose the Adaptive Phase-wise Alignment (APA) module to perform phase-level visual-textual matching, and adaptively aggregates alignment results across phases for final prediction. This adaptive phase-wise alignment facilitates the capture of transferable action patterns and significantly enhances generalization to unseen actions. Extensive experiments on two OV-TAD benchmarks demonstrated the superiority of the proposed method.

Recent advances in text-to-image (T2I) generation have greatly improved visual quality, yet producing images that appear visually authentic to real-world photography remains challenging. This is partly due to biases in existing evaluation paradigms: human ratings and preference-trained metrics often favor visually vivid images with exaggerated saturation and contrast, which make generations often too vivid to be real even when prompted for realistic-style images.To address this issue, we present Color Fidelity Dataset (CFD) and Color Fidelity Metric (CFM) for objective evaluation of color fidelity in realistic-style generations. CFD contains over 1.3M real and synthetic images with ordered levels of color realism, while CFM employs a multimodal encoder to learn perceptual color fidelity. In addition, we propose a training-free Color Fidelity Refinement (CFR) that adaptively modulates spatial-temporal guidance scale in generation, thereby enhancing color authenticity.Together, CFD supports CFM for assessment, whose learned attention further guides CFR to refine T2I fidelity, forming a progressive framework for assessing and improving color fidelity in realistic-style T2I generation. The dataset and code are available at https://github.com/ZhengyaoFang/CFM.
