CornOrb addresses a persistent gap in ophthalmic AI by providing one of the first large-scale, publicly accessible Orbscan 3 corneal topography datasets. The collection comprises 1,454 eyes from 744 Algerian patients, offering four standardized corneal maps (axial curvature, anterior/posterior elevation, pachymetry) alongside structured clinical parameters including Kmax, astigmatism, and asphericity. By releasing this multimodal resource in standardized PNG and CSV formats, the authors aim to enable robust AI-driven detection of keratoconus using device-specific data from an underrepresented African population.

In this paper, we present CornOrb, a publicly accessible multimodal dataset of Orbscan corneal topography images and clinical annotations collected from patients in Algeria. The dataset comprises 1,454 eyes from 744 patients, including 889 normal eyes and 565 keratoconus cases. For each eye, four corneal maps are provided (axial curvature, anterior elevation, posterior elevation, and pachymetry), together with structured tabular data including demographic information and key clinical parameters such as astigmatism, maximum keratometry (Kmax), central and thinnest pachymetry, and anterior/posterior asphericity. All data were retrospectively acquired, fully anonymized, and pre-processed into standardized PNG and CSV formats to ensure direct usability for artificial intelligence research. This dataset represents one of the first large-scale Orbscan-based resources from Africa, specifically built to enable robust AI-driven detection and analysis of keratoconus using multimodal data. The data are openly available at Zenodo.

PGR-Net addresses brain tumor MRI segmentation by tackling the challenge of spatial sparsity—where lesions occupy only ~10.7% of the image volume—through explicit data-driven spatial priors. The framework introduces a hierarchical Top-K ROI selection mechanism and a Windowed Gaussian–Spatial Decay (WinGS-ROI) module to concentrate computational resources on lesion-relevant regions rather than background. This yields competitive Dice scores (89.02–91.82% on Whole Tumor across benchmarks) with only 8.64M parameters, offering a lightweight alternative to contemporary Transformer and Mamba architectures.

Brain tumor MRI segmentation is essential for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning, enabling accurate lesion detection and radiotherapy target delineation. However, tumor lesions occupy only a small fraction of the volumetric space, resulting in severe spatial sparsity, while existing segmentation networks often overlook clinically observed spatial priors of tumor occurrence, leading to redundant feature computation over extensive background regions. To address this issue, we propose PGR-Net (Prior-Guided ROI Reasoning Network) - an explicit ROI-aware framework that incorporates a data-driven spatial prior set to capture the distribution and scale characteristics of tumor lesions, providing global guidance for more stable segmentation. Leveraging these priors, PGR-Net introduces a hierarchical Top-K ROI decision mechanism that progressively selects the most confident lesion candidate regions across encoder layers to improve localization precision. We further develop the WinGS-ROI (Windowed Gaussian-Spatial Decay ROI) module, which uses multi-window Gaussian templates with a spatial decay function to produce center-enhanced guidance maps, thus directing feature learning throughout the network. With these ROI features, a windowed RetNet backbone is adopted to enhance localization reliability. Experiments on BraTS-2019/2023 and MSD Task01 show that PGR-Net consistently outperforms existing approaches while using only 8.64M Params, achieving Dice scores of 89.02%, 91.82%, and 89.67% on the Whole Tumor region.

This paper tackles robotic optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning of curved tissue surfaces, addressing the limitation that existing approaches restrict motion to pure translations to avoid challenging hand-eye calibration. The core contribution is a custom ChArUco calibration pattern enabling full six-degree-of-freedom hand-eye calibration, allowing the OCT probe to rotate and follow curved surfaces. This matters because pure translational scanning accumulates registration errors on curved geometries, whereas full 6D motion enables accurate, large-area surface reconstruction.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive volumetric imaging modality with high spatial and temporal resolution. For imaging larger tissue structures, OCT probes need to be moved to scan the respective area. For handheld scanning, stitching of the acquired OCT volumes requires overlap to register the images. For robotic scanning and stitching, a typical approach is to restrict the motion to translations, as this avoids a full hand-eye calibration, which is complicated by the small field of view of most OCT probes. However, stitching by registration or by translational scanning are limited when curved tissue surfaces need to be scanned. We propose a marker for full six-dimensional hand-eye calibration of a robot mounted OCT probe. We show that the calibration results in highly repeatable estimates of the transformation. Moreover, we evaluate robotic scanning of two phantom surfaces to demonstrate that the proposed calibration allows for consistent scanning of large, curved tissue surfaces. As the proposed approach is not relying on image registration, it does not suffer from a potential accumulation of errors along a scan path. We also illustrate the improvement compared to conventional 3D-translational robotic scanning.

The paper addresses the novel challenge of aligning independent 3D Gaussian Splatting models across different object instances within the same category—a task beyond existing same-object registration methods. The core innovation is a two-stage pipeline: first, a coarse alignment using a feature-guided iterative absolute orientation solver that handles extreme initializations (180° rotations, 10× scale differences); second, a fine alignment that enforces multi-view feature consistency via an inverse-radiance-field formulation generalized to the similarity group $\text{Sim}(3)$. This enables the first viable category-level 3DGS registration, unlocking applications like geometrically-consistent object replacement.

We present Gaussian Splatting Alignment (GSA), a novel method for aligning two independent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models via a similarity transformation (rotation, translation, and scale), even when they are of different objects in the same category (e.g., different cars). In contrast, existing methods can only align 3DGS models of the same object (e.g., the same car) and often must be given true scale as input, while we estimate it successfully. GSA leverages viewpoint-guided spherical map features to obtain robust correspondences and introduces a two-step optimization framework that aligns 3DGS models while keeping them fixed. First, we apply an iterative feature-guided absolute orientation solver as our coarse registration, which is robust to poor initialization (e.g., 180 degrees misalignment or a 10x scale gap). Next, we use a fine registration step that enforces multi-view feature consistency, inspired by inverse radiance-field formulations. The first step already achieves state-of-the-art performance, and the second further improves results. In the same-object case, GSA outperforms prior works, often by a large margin, even when the other methods are given the true scale. In the harder case of different objects in the same category, GSA vastly surpasses them, providing the first effective solution for category-level 3DGS registration and unlocking new applications.

This paper presents LRHPerception, a unified monocular perception package that addresses the computational burden of multi-camera autonomous driving pipelines by integrating object tracking, trajectory prediction, road segmentation, and depth estimation into a single real-time system processing at 29 FPS on one GPU. The core innovation lies in sharing a Swin Transformer backbone across modules while introducing task-specific optimizations like C-BYTE tracking with camera-motion compensation and a coarse-to-fine depth estimator. This matters because it offers an interpretable middle ground between black-box end-to-end driving and expensive bird's-eye-view mapping systems.

Amidst the rapid advancement of camera-based autonomous driving technology, effectiveness is often prioritized with limited attention to computational efficiency. To address this issue, this paper introduces LRHPerception, a real-time monocular perception package for autonomous driving that uses single-view camera video to interpret the surrounding environment. The proposed system combines the computational efficiency of end-to-end learning with the rich representational detail of local mapping methodologies. With significant improvements in object tracking and prediction, road segmentation, and depth estimation integrated into a unified framework, LRHPerception processes monocular image data into a five-channel tensor consisting of RGB, road segmentation, and pixel-level depth estimation, augmented with object detection and trajectory prediction. Experimental results demonstrate strong performance, achieving real-time processing at 29 FPS on a single GPU, representing a 555% speedup over the fastest mapping-based approach.

Zero-shot 3D anomaly detection enables industrial inspection without target-category training data, but existing methods discard geometric details by projecting point clouds to 2D images. This paper proposes BTP (Back To Point), the first framework to apply pre-trained Point-Language Models directly on 3D point clouds. By aligning multi-granularity patch features with text embeddings and incorporating geometric descriptors, BTP achieves fine-grained anomaly localization while avoiding view-dependent projection artifacts.

Zero-shot (ZS) 3D anomaly detection is crucial for reliable industrial inspection, as it enables detecting and localizing defects without requiring any target-category training data. Existing approaches render 3D point clouds into 2D images and leverage pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for anomaly detection. However, such strategies inevitably discard geometric details and exhibit limited sensitivity to local anomalies. In this paper, we revisit intrinsic 3D representations and explore the potential of pre-trained Point-Language Models (PLMs) for ZS 3D anomaly detection. We propose BTP (Back To Point), a novel framework that effectively aligns 3D point cloud and textual embeddings. Specifically, BTP aligns multi-granularity patch features with textual representations for localized anomaly detection, while incorporating geometric descriptors to enhance sensitivity to structural anomalies. Furthermore, we introduce a joint representation learning strategy that leverages auxiliary point cloud data to improve robustness and enrich anomaly semantics. Extensive experiments on Real3D-AD and Anomaly-ShapeNet demonstrate that BTP achieves superior performance in ZS 3D anomaly detection.

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors with 15–25% metastatic risk and poor survival. Manual GAPP scoring for metastatic risk is labor-intensive and subjective, while critical genotype information (e.g., SDHB mutations conferring 35–75% metastatic risk) is often missed in clinical practice. This paper introduces PPGL-Swarm, an agentic diagnostic system that decomposes diagnosis into specialized WSI, gene, and table agents coordinated via reinforcement learning to automate GAPP scoring, predict hereditary mutations (SDHB/VHL/RET) from histology alone, and generate auditable multimodal reports grounded in a structured knowledge graph.

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors, of which 15-25% develop metastatic disease with 5-year survival rates reported as low as 34%. PPGL may indicate hereditary syndromes requiring stricter, syndrome-specific treatment and surveillance, but clinicians often fail to recognize these associations in routine care. Clinical practice uses GAPP score for PPGL grading, but several limitations remain for PPGL diagnosis: (1) GAPP scoring demands a high workload for clinician because it requires the manual evaluation of six independent components; (2) key components such as cellularity and Ki-67 are often evaluated with subjective criteria; (3) several clinically relevant metastatic risk factors are not captured by GAPP, such as SDHB mutations, which have been associated with reported metastatic rates of 35-75%. Agent-driven diagnostic systems appear promising, but most lack traceable reasoning for decision-making and do not incorporate domain-specific knowledge such as PPGL genotype information. To address these limitations, we present PPGL-Swarm, an agentic PPGL diagnostic system that generates a comprehensive report, including automated GAPP scoring (with quantified cellularity and Ki-67), genotype risk alerts, and multimodal report with integrated evidence. The system provides an auditable reasoning trail by decomposing diagnosis into micro-tasks, each assigned to a specialized agent. The gene and table agents use knowledge enhancement to better interpret genotype and laboratory findings, and during training we use reinforcement learning to refine tool selection and task assignment.

Accurate riverine land cover mapping is essential for river management but challenging due to water penetration issues in 2D imagery and complex 3D structure. This paper applies Point Transformer v2 (PTv2)—using grouped vector attention and partition-based pooling—to multispectral LiDAR point clouds (1550 nm, 905 nm, 532 nm) for semantic segmentation of six land cover classes in Finnish river environments. The authors demonstrate that spectral features (particularly intensity and reflectance) combined with geometric data achieve $0.950$ mean IoU, and propose multi-dataset training with sparse annotations to improve cross-site generalization despite severe class imbalance.

Accurate land cover mapping in riverine environments is essential for effective river management, ecological understanding, and geomorphic change monitoring. This study explores the use of Point Transformer v2 (PTv2), an advanced deep neural network architecture designed for point cloud data, for land cover mapping through semantic segmentation of multispectral LiDAR data in real-world riverine environments. We utilize the geometric and spectral information from the 3-channel LiDAR point cloud to map land cover classes, including sand, gravel, low vegetation, high vegetation, forest floor, and water. The PTv2 model was trained and evaluated on point cloud data from the Oulanka river in northern Finland using both geometry and spectral features. To improve the model's generalization in new riverine environments, we additionally investigate multi-dataset training that adds sparsely annotated data from an additional river dataset. Results demonstrated that using the full-feature configuration resulted in performance with a mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 0.950, significantly outperforming the geometry baseline. Other ablation studies revealed that intensity and reflectance features were the key for accurate land cover mapping. The multi-dataset training experiment showed improved generalization performance, suggesting potential for developing more robust models despite limited high-quality annotated data. Our work demonstrates the potential of applying transformer-based architectures to multispectral point clouds in riverine environments. The approach offers new capabilities for monitoring sediment transport and other river management applications.

This paper proposes applying Vision Transformers with colormap-based pseudo-color enhancement to brain tumor classification on the BRISC2025 MRI dataset. The core idea wraps a standard ViT-Base model with a Jet colormap preprocessing step to boost contrast, claiming 98.90% accuracy on four-class tumor classification. While the technique is sound in principle, serious copy-paste errors indicate the manuscript was likely templated from the author's prior Alzheimer's work without adequate revision.

Accurate classification of brain tumors from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a critical role in early diagnosis and effective treatment planning. In this study, we propose a deep learning framework based on Vision Transformers (ViT) enhanced with colormap-based feature representation to improve multi-class brain tumor classification performance. The proposed approach leverages the ability of transformer architectures to capture long-range dependencies while incorporating color mapping techniques to emphasize important structural and intensity variations within MRI scans. Experiments are conducted on the BRISC2025 dataset, which includes four classes: glioma, meningioma, pituitary tumor, and non-tumor cases. The model is trained and evaluated using standard performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The proposed method achieves a classification accuracy of 98.90%, outperforming baseline convolutional neural network models including ResNet50, ResNet101, and EfficientNetB2. In addition, the model demonstrates strong generalization capability with an AUC of 99.97%, indicating high discriminative performance across all classes. These results highlight the effectiveness of combining Vision Transformers with colormap-based feature enhancement for accurate and robust brain tumor classification and suggest strong potential for clinical decision support applications.

Stochastic human motion prediction often suffers from high-frequency jitter and physically implausible poses. This paper proposes KHMP, a framework that combines training-time physical constraints (temporal smoothness and joint angle limits) with a novel inference-time refinement: an adaptive Kalman filter operating in the DCT frequency domain. The key innovation treats high-frequency DCT coefficients as a frequency-indexed noisy signal, recursively filtering them with parameters dynamically adjusted based on estimated Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR).

Stochastic human motion prediction aims to generate diverse, plausible futures from observed sequences. Despite advances in generative modeling, existing methods often produce predictions corrupted by high-frequency jitter and temporal discontinuities. To address these challenges, we introduce KHMP, a novel framework featuring an adaptiveKalman filter applied in the DCT domain to generate high-fidelity human motion predictions. By treating high-frequency DCT coefficients as a frequency-indexed noisy signal, the Kalman filter recursively suppresses noise while preserving motion details. Notably, its noise parameters are dynamically adjusted based on estimated Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), enabling aggressive denoising for jittery predictions and conservative filtering for clean motions. This refinement is complemented by training-time physical constraints (temporal smoothness and joint angle limits) that encode biomechanical principles into the generative model. Together, these innovations establish a new paradigm integrating adaptive signal processing with physics-informed learning. Experiments on the Human3.6M and HumanEva-I datasets demonstrate that KHMP achieves state-of-the-art accuracy, effectively mitigating jitter artifacts to produce smooth and physically plausible motions.

This paper addresses federated learning for cross-view video understanding, where heterogeneous camera viewpoints create highly non-IID client distributions that impede generalization to unseen views. FedCVU proposes three complementary modules: VS-Norm preserves client-specific normalization statistics to handle view-dependent feature shifts; CV-Align introduces lightweight prototype-based contrastive learning to align representations across cameras; and SLA employs selective layer aggregation to reduce communication overhead by 40–45%. The work targets an important practical scenario—privacy-preserving multi-camera surveillance where centralizing raw footage is infeasible.

Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a promising paradigm for privacy-preserving multi-camera video understanding. However, applying FL to cross-view scenarios faces three major challenges: (i) heterogeneous viewpoints and backgrounds lead to highly non-IID client distributions and overfitting to view-specific patterns, (ii) local distribution biases cause misaligned representations that hinder consistent cross-view semantics, and (iii) large video architectures incur prohibitive communication overhead. To address these issues, we propose FedCVU, a federated framework with three components: VS-Norm, which preserves normalization parameters to handle view-specific statistics; CV-Align, a lightweight contrastive regularization module to improve cross-view representation alignment; and SLA, a selective layer aggregation strategy that reduces communication without sacrificing accuracy. Extensive experiments on action understanding and person re-identification tasks under a cross-view protocol demonstrate that FedCVU consistently boosts unseen-view accuracy while maintaining strong seen-view performance, outperforming state-of-the-art FL baselines and showing robustness to domain heterogeneity and communication constraints.

SatGeo-NeRF addresses wave-like geometric artifacts in satellite neural radiance fields caused by overfitting to multi-temporal imagery with varying lighting and transient objects. The paper proposes three model-agnostic regularizers—gravity-aligned planarity, coarse-to-fine granularity masking, and depth supervision—to stabilize geometry learning. Experiments on the DFC2019 benchmark report 14% lower mean altitude error relative to prior work, though this comparison relies on a reimplemented baseline that underperforms the original reported scores.

We present SatGeo-NeRF, a geometrically regularized NeRF for satellite imagery that mitigates overfitting-induced geometric artifacts observed in current state-of-the-art models using three model-agnostic regularizers. Gravity-Aligned Planarity Regularization aligns depth-inferred, approximated surface normals with the gravity axis to promote local planarity, coupling adjacent rays via a corresponding surface approximation to facilitate cross-ray gradient flow. Granularity Regularization enforces a coarse-to-fine geometry-learning scheme, and Depth-Supervised Regularization stabilizes early training for improved geometric accuracy. On the DFC2019 satellite reconstruction benchmark, SatGeo-NeRF improves the Mean Altitude Error by 13.9% and 11.7% relative to state-of-the-art baselines such as EO-NeRF and EO-GS.

This paper benchmarks four deep learning architectures (KPConv, RandLA-Net, Superpoint Transformer, Point Transformer V3) for aerial LiDAR semantic segmentation under real operational flight conditions in Navarre, Spain. The study addresses a critical gap in evaluating models on heterogeneous aerial data with severe class imbalance (vehicles at 0.68%, low vegetation at 1.41%), finding that while all models exceed 93% overall accuracy, mean IoU ranges from 71.98% to 78.51% with persistent failures on minority classes.

Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved 3D semantic segmentation, but most models focus on indoor or terrestrial datasets. Their behavior under real aerial acquisition conditions remains insufficiently explored, and although a few studies have addressed similar scenarios, they differ in dataset design, acquisition conditions, and model selection. To address this gap, we conduct an experimental benchmark evaluating several state-of-the-art architectures on a large-scale aerial LiDAR dataset acquired under operational flight conditions in Navarre, Spain, covering heterogeneous urban, rural, and industrial landscapes. This study compares four representative deep learning models, including KPConv, RandLA-Net, Superpoint Transformer, and Point Transformer V3, across five semantic classes commonly found in airborne surveys, such as ground, vegetation, buildings, and vehicles, highlighting the inherent challenges of class imbalance and geometric variability in aerial data. Results show that all tested models achieve high overall accuracy exceeding 93%, with KPConv attaining the highest mean IoU (78.51%) through consistent performance across classes, particularly on challenging and underrepresented categories. Point Transformer V3 demonstrates superior performance on the underrepresented vehicle class (75.11% IoU), while Superpoint Transformer and RandLA-Net trade off segmentation robustness for computational efficiency.

4DGS360 addresses the ill-posed challenge of reconstructing dynamic objects from monocular video by tackling a critical failure mode: existing methods rely on 2D-native priors that overfit to visible surfaces and cannot reconstruct occluded regions at extreme viewpoints (>90°). The authors propose AnchorTAP3D, a hybrid 3D tracker that leverages high-confidence 2D track points as spatial-temporal anchors to stabilize long-term tracking and resolve depth ambiguity in occluded areas. Combined with a new iPhone360 benchmark featuring test cameras up to 135° from training views, the method enables coherent 360° 4D reconstruction without diffusion priors.

We introduce 4DGS360, a diffusion-free framework for 360$^{\circ}$ dynamic object reconstruction from casual monocular video. Existing methods often fail to reconstruct consistent 360$^{\circ}$ geometry, as their heavy reliance on 2D-native priors causes initial points to overfit to visible surface in each training view. 4DGS360 addresses this challenge through a advanced 3D-native initialization that mitigates the geometric ambiguity of occluded regions. Our proposed 3D tracker, AnchorTAP3D, produces reinforced 3D point trajectories by leveraging confident 2D track points as anchors, suppressing drift and providing reliable initialization that preserves geometry in occluded regions. This initialization, combined with optimization, yields coherent 360$^{\circ}$ 4D reconstructions. We further present iPhone360, a new benchmark where test cameras are placed up to 135$^{\circ}$ apart from training views, enabling 360$^{\circ}$ evaluation that existing datasets cannot provide. Experiments show that 4DGS360 achieves state-of-the-art performance on the iPhone360, iPhone, and DAVIS datasets, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Omni-WorldBench addresses the gap between passive video generation metrics and active world model evaluation by focusing on interactive response—how actions causally drive state transitions across space and time. It introduces Omni-WorldSuite, a 1,068-prompt hierarchical taxonomy spanning three interaction levels (single-object to global environmental effects), and Omni-Metrics, an agent-based evaluation protocol that aggregates Interaction Effect Fidelity, Generated Video Quality, and Camera-Object Controllability into an adaptive AgenticScore.

Video--based world models have emerged along two dominant paradigms: video generation and 3D reconstruction. However, existing evaluation benchmarks either focus narrowly on visual fidelity and text--video alignment for generative models, or rely on static 3D reconstruction metrics that fundamentally neglect temporal dynamics. We argue that the future of world modeling lies in 4D generation, which jointly models spatial structure and temporal evolution. In this paradigm, the core capability is interactive response: the ability to faithfully reflect how interaction actions drive state transitions across space and time. Yet no existing benchmark systematically evaluates this critical dimension. To address this gap, we propose Omni--WorldBench, a comprehensive benchmark specifically designed to evaluate the interactive response capabilities of world models in 4D settings. Omni--WorldBench comprises two key components: Omni--WorldSuite, a systematic prompt suite spanning diverse interaction levels and scene types; and Omni--Metrics, an agent-based evaluation framework that quantifies world modeling capabilities by measuring the causal impact of interaction actions on both final outcomes and intermediate state evolution trajectories. We conduct extensive evaluations of 18 representative world models across multiple paradigms. Our analysis reveals critical limitations of current world models in interactive response, providing actionable insights for future research. Omni-WorldBench will be publicly released to foster progress in interactive 4D world modeling.

AdaEdit tackles the injection dilemma in flow-based image editing, where source feature injection preserves backgrounds but suppresses novel content generation. The authors propose two training-free adaptations: a Progressive Injection Schedule using continuous decay functions (sigmoid, cosine, linear) instead of binary cutoffs, and Channel-Selective Latent Perturbation that applies per-channel AdaIN based on distributional gaps between inverted and random latents. Extensive experiments on PIE-Bench show AdaEdit improves background preservation metrics by 8.7% LPIPS reduction versus ProEdit while maintaining competitive CLIP scores.

Inversion-based image editing in flow matching models has emerged as a powerful paradigm for training-free, text-guided image manipulation. A central challenge in this paradigm is the injection dilemma: injecting source features during denoising preserves the background of the original image but simultaneously suppresses the model's ability to synthesize edited content. Existing methods address this with fixed injection strategies -- binary on/off temporal schedules, uniform spatial mixing ratios, and channel-agnostic latent perturbation -- that ignore the inherently heterogeneous nature of injection demand across both the temporal and channel dimensions. In this paper, we present AdaEdit, a training-free adaptive editing framework that resolves this dilemma through two complementary innovations. First, we propose a Progressive Injection Schedule that replaces hard binary cutoffs with continuous decay functions (sigmoid, cosine, or linear), enabling a smooth transition from source-feature preservation to target-feature generation and eliminating feature discontinuity artifacts. Second, we introduce Channel-Selective Latent Perturbation, which estimates per-channel importance based on the distributional gap between the inverted and random latents and applies differentiated perturbation strengths accordingly -- strongly perturbing edit-relevant channels while preserving structure-encoding channels. Extensive experiments on the PIE-Bench benchmark (700 images, 10 editing types) demonstrate that AdaEdit achieves an 8.7% reduction in LPIPS, a 2.6% improvement in SSIM, and a 2.3% improvement in PSNR over strong baselines, while maintaining competitive CLIP similarity. AdaEdit is fully plug-and-play and compatible with multiple ODE solvers including Euler, RF-Solver, and FireFlow. Code is available at https://github.com/leeguandong/AdaEdit

This paper presents PhotoBeamSolver, a hybrid system that converts hand-drawn beam diagrams into analytical structural solutions by combining computer vision with large language models. The core idea uses a custom-trained YOLO-based detector to identify supports and loads from images, feeding a symbolic solver that computes shear, moment, and deflection diagrams. While targeted at academic and quick professional verification tasks, the work highlights the challenges of integrating deep learning into safety-critical structural engineering workflows.

This paper presents the development of a documented program capable of solving idealized beam models, such as those commonly used in textbooks and academic exercises, from drawings made by a person. The system is based on computer vision and statistical learning techniques for the detection and visual interpretation of structural elements. Likewise, the main challenges and limitations associated with the integration of computer vision into structural analysis are analyzed, as well as the requirements necessary for its reliable application in the field of civil engineering. In this context, the implementation of the PhotoBeamSolver program is explored, and the current state of computer vision in civil engineering is discussed, particularly in relation to structural analysis, infrastructure inspection, and engineering decision-support systems.

This paper challenges the long-held assumption that infrared and visible image fusion (IVIF) requires strictly paired training data. The authors propose UnPaired and Arbitrarily Paired Training Paradigms (UPTP and APTP), demonstrating that pixel-level self-supervision enables training on unaligned cross-modal combinations. By reformulating the maximum likelihood objective to treat infrared and visible images as independent variables, they show that a base dataset of $N$ pairs can be expanded to $N^2$ trainable combinations, potentially reducing collection costs while improving generalization.

Infrared and visible image fusion(IVIF) combines complementary modalities while preserving natural textures and salient thermal signatures. Existing solutions predominantly rely on extensive sets of rigidly aligned image pairs for training. However, acquiring such data is often impractical due to the costly and labour-intensive alignment process. Besides, maintaining a rigid pairing setting during training restricts the volume of cross-modal relationships, thereby limiting generalisation performance. To this end, this work challenges the necessity of Strictly Paired Training Paradigm (SPTP) by systematically investigating UnPaired and Arbitrarily Paired Training Paradigms (UPTP and APTP) for high-performance IVIF. We establish a theoretical objective of APTP, reflecting the complementary nature between UPTP and SPTP. More importantly, we develop a practical framework capable of significantly enriching cross-modal relationships even with severely limited and unaligned training data. To validate our propositions, three end-to-end lightweight baselines, alongside a set of innovative loss functions, are designed to cover three classic frameworks (CNN, Transformer, GAN). Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed APTP and UPTP are feasible and capable of training models on a severely limited and content-inconsistent infrared and visible dataset, achieving performance comparable to that of a dataset 100$\times$ larger in SPTP. This finding fundamentally alleviates the cost and difficulty of data collection while enhancing model robustness from the data perspective, delivering a feasible solution for IVIF studies.

Articulated object reconstruction typically requires either multi-view capture of discrete states or monocular video with a strict static-base-part assumption, limiting practical deployment. FreeArtGS introduces a "free-moving" setting where both joint angles and object poses vary arbitrarily during capture, using only a monocular RGB-D video. The method combines motion-based part segmentation via point tracking priors with joint estimation and 3D Gaussian Splatting optimization to jointly reconstruct geometry, appearance, and articulation.

The increasing demand for augmented reality and robotics is driving the need for articulated object reconstruction with high scalability. However, existing settings for reconstructing from discrete articulation states or casual monocular videos require non-trivial axis alignment or suffer from insufficient coverage, limiting their applicability. In this paper, we introduce FreeArtGS, a novel method for reconstructing articulated objects under free-moving scenario, a new setting with a simple setup and high scalability. FreeArtGS combines free-moving part segmentation with joint estimation and end-to-end optimization, taking only a monocular RGB-D video as input. By optimizing with the priors from off-the-shelf point-tracking and feature models, the free-moving part segmentation module identifies rigid parts from relative motion under unconstrained capture. The joint estimation module calibrates the unified object-to-camera poses and recovers joint type and axis robustly from part segmentation. Finally, 3DGS-based end-to-end optimization is implemented to jointly reconstruct visual textures, geometry, and joint angles of the articulated object. We conduct experiments on two benchmarks and real-world free-moving articulated objects. Experimental results demonstrate that FreeArtGS consistently excels in reconstructing free-moving articulated objects and remains highly competitive in previous reconstruction settings, proving itself a practical and effective solution for realistic asset generation.

Cardiac ultrasound view acquisition is notoriously operator-dependent, limiting reproducibility and access. This paper proposes an anatomical prior (AP)-driven framework that unifies cardiac structure segmentation with autonomous probe adjustment. The core innovation is a spatial-relation graph (SRG) module that injects spatial-topological constraints into YOLO-based segmentation, coupled with an RL formulation where states and rewards are built from quantifiable anatomical features drawn from Gaussian priors. The work matters because it offers an interpretable alternative to black-box end-to-end methods, potentially enabling zero-shot sim-to-real deployment for robotic echocardiography.

Cardiac ultrasound diagnosis is critical for cardiovascular disease assessment, but acquiring standard views remains highly operator-dependent. Existing medical segmentation models often yield anatomically inconsistent results in images with poor textural differentiation between distinct feature classes, while autonomous probe adjustment methods either rely on simplistic heuristic rules or black-box learning. To address these issues, our study proposed an anatomical prior (AP)-driven framework integrating cardiac structure segmentation and autonomous probe adjustment for standard view acquisition. A YOLO-based multi-class segmentation model augmented by a spatial-relation graph (SRG) module is designed to embed AP into the feature pyramid. Quantifiable anatomical features of standard views are extracted. Their priors are fitted to Gaussian distributions to construct probabilistic APs. The probe adjustment process of robotic ultrasound scanning is formalized as a reinforcement learning (RL) problem, with the RL state built from real-time anatomical features and the reward reflecting the AP matching. Experiments validate the efficacy of the framework. The SRG-YOLOv11s improves mAP50 by 11.3% and mIoU by 6.8% on the Special Case dataset, while the RL agent achieves a 92.5% success rate in simulation and 86.7% in phantom experiments.
