Patient-Specific Articulated Digital Twins from a Single Full-Body CT Scan

Patient-specific anatomical models provide individualized context for surgical planning, image-guided intervention, and algorithm development. However, most CT-derived models are static: they preserve the body configuration captured at scan time, but cannot represent how the same anatomy would appear after patient repositioning. This limitation is especially important for radiographic imaging, where appearance depends jointly on imaging geometry and patient pose. We present a proof-of-concept for constructing a patient-specific articulated digital twin from a single full-body CT scan. The method fits a parametric human body model (SMPL) to obtain a patient-aligned kinematic scaffold, binds segmented bones and organs to an anatomy-aware rig, and retargets body-pose changes while preserving skeletal geometry. On three full-body CT subjects, the fitted scaffold achieved 15.8 $\pm$ 4.0 mm chamfer distance and 95.9 $\pm$ 1.8% skeletal enclosure. Recomposition at the acquisition pose preserved major radiographic structure, with overall SSIM of 0.872 $\pm$ 0.016 and PSNR of 18.5 $\pm$ 1.4 dB across paired DRRs. Across unseen target poses, the resulting twins enabled articulation while maintaining high skeletal enclosure (94.4 $\pm$ 0.4%). As a feasibility demonstration, we render the articulated twin as pose-dependent DRRs. These results suggest the feasibility of extending static, view-controllable CT simulation toward pose-controllable anatomical twins for future synthetic imaging and positioning studies.

RTE-FM-Dehazer: Radiative Transfer Equation Inspired Flow Matching for Real-World Image Dehazing

Single-image dehazing aims to recover a clear scene from a hazy image and is generally formulated as an image-to-image translation task; however, it faces two limitations. Its performance depends heavily on the haze-formation priors embedded in the model. Prevailing methods adopt the Atmospheric Scattering Model (ASM), whose assumptions of single scattering and homogeneous media are often violated, leading to residual haze and color drift. Moreover, large-scale real hazy/clear pairs are impractical to collect, and existing synthesis approaches fail to reproduce the full complexity of natural haze. To address these issues, we present RTE-FM-Dehazer, a novel dehazing approach, together with a scalable data pipeline. Unlike the ASM, the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) jointly accounts for both scattering and absorption, naturally accommodating the non-homogeneous, multiple-scattering media that characterize real hazy scenes. Motivated by the structural similarity between the RTE diffusion-absorption term and the ODE in flow matching, we introduce a diffusion-absorption regularizer derived from a reduced RTE, to steer the flow matching trajectory at each step. Next, leveraging modern vision-language models, we build an automated pipeline and release P-HAZE, a dataset of 50000 realistic hazy/clear pairs. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that RTE-FM-Dehazer, trained solely on P-HAZE, effectively eliminates artifacts like residual haze and color drift, exhibits strong cross-domain generalization, and achieves leading results on five real-world dehazing benchmarks.

DDNet: A Dual-Stream Graph Learning and Disentanglement Framework for Temporal Forgery Localization

The rapid evolution of AIGC technology enables misleading viewers by tampering mere small segments within a video, rendering video-level detection inaccurate and unpersuasive. Consequently, temporal forgery localization (TFL), which aims to precisely pinpoint tampered segments, becomes critical. However, existing methods are often constrained by \emph{local view}, failing to capture global anomalies. To address this, we propose a \underline{d}ual-stream graph learning and \underline{d}isentanglement framework for temporal forgery localization (DDNet). By coordinating a \emph{Temporal Distance Stream} for local artifacts and a \emph{Semantic Content Stream} for long-range connections, DDNet prevents global cues from being drowned out by local smoothness. Furthermore, we introduce Trace Disentanglement and Adaptation (TDA) to isolate generic forgery fingerprints, alongside Cross-Level Feature Embedding (CLFE) to construct a robust feature foundation via deep fusion of hierarchical features. Experiments on ForgeryNet and TVIL benchmarks demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches by approximately 9\% in AP@0.95, with significant improvements in cross-domain robustness.

LiDARDustX: A LiDAR Dataset for Dusty Unstructured Road Environments

Autonomous driving datasets are essential for validating the progress of intelligent vehicle algorithms, which include localization, perception, and prediction. However, existing datasets are predominantly focused on structured urban environments, which limits the exploration of unstructured and specialized scenarios, particularly those characterized by significant dust levels. This paper introduces the LiDARDustX dataset, which is specifically designed for perception tasks under high-dust conditions, such as those encountered in mining areas. The LiDARDustX dataset consists of 30,000 LiDAR frames captured by six different LiDAR sensors, each accompanied by 3D bounding box annotations and point cloud semantic segmentation. Notably, over 80% of the dataset comprises dust-affected scenes. By utilizing this dataset, we have established a benchmark for evaluating the performance of state-of-the-art 3D detection and segmentation algorithms. Additionally, we have analyzed the impact of dust on perception accuracy and delved into the causes of these effects.

Joint Modelling Histology and Molecular Markers for Cancer Classification

Cancers are characterized by remarkable heterogeneity and diverse prognosis. Accurate cancer classification is essential for patient stratification and clinical decision-making. Although digital pathology has been advancing cancer diagnosis and prognosis, the paradigm in cancer pathology has shifted from purely relying on histology features to incorporating molecular markers. There is an urgent need for digital pathology methods to meet the needs of the new paradigm. We introduce a novel digital pathology approach to jointly predict molecular markers and histology features and model their interactions for cancer classification. Firstly, to mitigate the challenge of cross-magnification information propagation, we propose a multi-scale disentangling module, enabling the extraction of multi-scale features from high-magnification (cellular-level) to low-magnification (tissue-level) whole slide images. Further, based on the multi-scale features, we propose an attention-based hierarchical multi-task multi-instance learning framework to simultaneously predict histology and molecular markers. Moreover, we propose a co-occurrence probability-based label correlation graph network to model the co-occurrence of molecular markers. Lastly, we design a cross-modal interaction module with the dynamic confidence constrain loss and a cross-modal gradient modulation strategy, to model the interactions of histology and molecular markers. Our experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in classifying glioma, histology features and molecular markers. Our method promises to promote precise oncology with the potential to advance biomedical research and clinical applications. The code is available at https://github.com/LHY1007/M3C2
