Dynamic SpectraFormer for Ultra-High-Definition Underwater Image Enhancement

Underwater images suffer from color distortion, haze, and poor visibility due to light refraction and absorption in water. These challenges significantly impact the utilization of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) or marine robots. Typically, color and brightness distortions manifest at lower frequencies, while edge and texture distortions are prevalent at higher frequencies. Traditional methods struggle to concurrently rectify these mixed distortions as they primarily concentrate on the spatial domain. To address these issues, we introduce the Dynamic SpectraFormer, which enhances underwater images through a frequency domain transformer. The Dynamic SpectraFormer introduces an ultra-high-resolution sparse spectrum attention module, which could capture the long-term dependency without losing the universal approximating power. Additionally, we have developed a dynamic spectrum weight generation layer that serves as an adaptive spectrum band selector, accentuating critical frequency bands and suppressing less relevant ones. Consequently, this method significantly improves underwater image quality by addressing both high- and low-frequency distortions. Our extensive ablation studies and comparative evaluations consolidate the Dynamic SpectraFormer's efficacy across multiple underwater image enhancement benchmarks.

MotionGS-SLAM: Event-Modulated Gaussian Splatting for Motion-Blur Robust SLAM

Current Vision-based SLAM systems fail catastrophically when motion blur corrupts the visual input, as they attempt the ill-posed inverse problem of recovering sharp content from degraded observations. We present MotionGS-SLAM, which fundamentally reimagines motion blur handling through a paradigm shift: rather than removing blur artifacts, we reformulate the challenge as a well-constrained forward problem that generatively models blur formation within the rendering pipeline. By leveraging event cameras' microsecond temporal resolution and immunity to motion blur, we introduce a novel event-modulated Gaussian kernel that dynamically adapts each Gaussian's rasterization based on precise motion cues. Our dual-modulation mechanism transforms 2D Gaussian projections from isotropic dots into anisotropic, motion-aligned elliptical brush strokes (spatial modulation) while adaptively varying exposure integral sampling density based on local velocity (temporal modulation). This physics-based approach enables joint optimization of intra-exposure camera trajectories and 3D scene geometry through blur-aware photometric and event-based constraints. Extensive experiments demonstrate significant improvements over state-of-the-art methods in trajectory accuracy and map quality under severe high-motion conditions.

GaussMemory: Task-Driven 3D Gaussian Scene Memory for Long-Horizon Robotic Manipulation

Long-horizon robotic manipulation fundamentally relies on persistent spatial memory. However, existing 3D memory systems function merely as passive recorders: they store observations using fixed, hand-crafted rules, treating every scene element--whether a critical grasp target or an irrelevant background wall--with equal importance. In this paper, we propose a paradigm shift from passive storage to active, task-driven spatial memory. We argue that a robot's memory should not simply record what it sees, but actively learn how to remember--discovering which objects to track precisely, how aggressively to update them, and what to discard, all learned end-to-end without hand-designed rules. Crucially, this active paradigm is realized by unifying memory update and readout as two sides of the same cognitive process, enabling bidirectional flow where task needs shape update strategies and vice versa. To instantiate this vision, we introduce GaussMemory, which leverages 3D Gaussian Splatting as a persistent geometric substrate. On LIBERO, GaussMemory outperforms MemoryVLA on Goal and Long-10; on VLABench, it surpasses $π_0$-FAST by +5.2% (Track 1) and +6.0% (Track 6).

UAV Video Deblurring via Motion-Aware Diffusion: A Path to Robust Target Detection

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play a crucial role in various scenarios ranging from disaster response to traffic surveillance. However, aerial video footage often suffers from severe motion blur due to rapid flight maneuvers, vibrations, and camera panning, which can significantly degrade downstream tasks such as target detection. Our goal is to explore a computationally-efficient and effective video deblurring approach to enhance UAV target detection performance. To reduce computational cost, we first propose an Adaptive Latent Scale Selector that dynamically adjusts the latent space resolution according to the intensity of UAV motion, thus balancing detail preservation with inference efficiency. To ensure temporal consistency, we introduce a Multi-Frame Alignment and Learnable Gating module to warp and gate the preceding frames, allowing the model to fuse only relevant temporal information and suppress misaligned or uninformative features. Our method can effectively recover sharp details from the UAV video stream. Extensive experiments on real UAV benchmarks demonstrate that our method not only yields superior deblurring performance but also significantly boosts target detection accuracy, making it highly applicable to robust aerial vision tasks.
