Bridging the Generalization Gap in Adverse Weather Segmentation: A Training Recipe Perspective

This paper describes our approach for the 8th UG2+ Workshop (CVPR 2026) Track~2, which targets semantic segmentation of outdoor scenes degraded by five weather conditions: blur, darkness, snow, haze, and glare. A central challenge we observe is a severe generalization gap -- models that perform well on the validation set often collapse on the test set. For instance, SegFormer-B5 drops 16.1 mIoU points from validation to test, suggesting that model capacity alone is insufficient for robustness. We investigate whether a carefully designed training recipe, rather than architectural complexity, can address this gap. Starting from a pre-trained SegMAN-S backbone, we systematically study the effects of domain-adaptive fine-tuning, multi-source data mixing, scene-balanced sampling, and synthetic degradation augmentation. Our final system achieves 59.9\% mIoU on the official test set while maintaining a validation-test gap of only 6.5 points -- less than half that of larger models. We analyze negative results from architectural modifications, loss function variants, and model scaling to provide practical insights for weather-robust segmentation under limited data.

A Diff-Attention Aware State Space Fusion Model for Remote Sensing Classification

Multispectral (MS) and panchromatic (PAN) images describe the same land surface, so these images not only have their own advantages, but also have a lot of similar information. In order to separate these similar information and their respective advantages, reduce the feature redundancy in the fusion stage. This paper introduces a diff-attention aware state space fusion model (DAS2F-Model) for multimodal remote sensing image classification. Based on the selective state space model, a cross-modal diff-attention module (CMDA-Module) is designed to extract and separate the common features and their respective dominant features of MS and PAN images. Among this, space preserving visual mamba (SPVM) retains image spatial features and captures local features by optimizing visual mamba's input reasonably. Considering that features in the fusion stage will have large semantic differences after feature separation and simple fusion operations struggle to effectively integrate these significantly different features, an attention-aware linear fusion module (AALF-Module) is proposed. It performs pixel-wise linear fusion by calculating influence coefficients. This mechanism can fuse features with large semantic differences while keeping the feature size unchanged. Empirical evaluations indicate that the presented method achieves better results than alternative approaches. The relevant code can be found at:https://github.com/AVKSKVL/DAS-F-Model
