One Rewrite to Fix Them All? Type-Aware Repair Allocation for Text-to-Image Prompt Optimization

Text-to-image (T2I) generators often fail to follow their prompts faithfully, producing wrong counts, swapped attributes, ambiguous relations, and illegible text. Prompt optimization repairs such failures by rewriting the user prompt, requiring no generator retraining, and has yielded promising results. However, existing optimizers absorb heterogeneous failures into one uniform prompt expansion, even though each calls for different repair language. We formulate semantic prompt optimization as atomic repair allocation: each failed proposition is routed to a type-conditioned repair operator before the resulting local constraints are compiled into one executable prompt. We instantiate this formulation in the training-free Type-Aware Repair Allocation (TARA) framework, which separates diagnosis, allocation, compilation, and a semantic repair gate, an accept-or-revert controller over exactly one prescribed repair that prevents semantic regressions. Extensive experiments on DSG and TIFA across four frozen generators demonstrate that TARA achieves the best semantic accuracy in all eight benchmark-generator cells, improving over VisualPrompter by 5.6 and 2.6 points on DSG and TIFA, respectively, while maintaining image quality and running fastest in our matched local setting at 16.0 seconds versus 20.0 seconds per prompt.

LLM-Empowered Multimodal Fusion Framework for Autonomous Driving: Semantic Enhancement and Channel-Adaptive Design

Vision-radar fusion is central to robust autonomous driving, combining dense visual semantics with precise range and velocity measurements from radar. However, real-world fusion quality is fundamentally challenged by dynamically varying input quality, stemming from occlusion, adverse weather, and channel noise. To address this, we re-frame the problem from static data fusion to channel-aware semantic reasoning and propose a Large Language Model-centric Semantic-layer Channel-aware Integrated Perception (LM-SCIP) framework. It places a Large Language Model (LLM) as a central reasoning core to fuse a local visual stream with a quality-varying external radar stream used to cover perception-blind spots. Concretely, LM-SCIP couples a hierarchical radar-vision encoder with a Channel-Adaptive Semantic Module (CASM) that maps link indicators into a "Channel Prompt" to dynamically gate external radar features. A parameter-efficient, LoRA-tuned LLM, in conjunction with a heterogeneous Mixture-of-Experts (H-MoE), then arbitrates between local visual cues and the channel-conditioned radar context. Finally, a decoupled multi-task decoder outputs localization, trajectory forecasting, and image reconstruction. Experiments on nuScenes and VIRAT validate our approach. On nuScenes, under a controlled toggle of radar input, LM-SCIP reduces localization RMSE by 40.0% versus a vision-only baseline. On VIRAT, the model attains a 0.214m localization RMSE and 0.179m minFDE (k=1). These results reveal that the proposed LM-SCIP enables a robust vision-dominant fallback at low SNR and synergistic fusion at high SNR.

InfiniVerse: Occupancy Guided Unbounded Scene Generation for Autonomous Driving

Generating realistic, controllable, and temporally coherent urban environments is a critical yet unresolved challenge in the autonomous driving community. In this paper, we introduce InfiniVerse, a unified pipeline for long-range, 2D-3D-aligned, and controllable synthesis of dynamic urban scenes from a single frame. In practice, our approach first reconstructs a 3D occupancy representation from the input multi-view frame. This representation serves as a foundation for autoregressive scene extension along arbitrary trajectories. Subsequently, a video diffusion model translates the coarse occupancy grid into realistic, spatiotemporally consistent video sequences. Moreover, we propose a hierarchical sketch-and-refine paradigm, in which the generated videos are re-projected as image-conditioned feedback to enhance the 3D occupancy representation, establishing cross-modal alignment and mutual enhancement between the visual and spatial domains. Extensive evaluations on the Waymo Open Dataset and nuScenes demonstrate that InfiniVerse achieves state-of-the-art performance, with a FID of 6.4 and FVD of 67.97, significantly outperforming existing benchmarks in both duration and stability.

AerialMetric: Benchmarking and Adapting UAV Monocular Metric Depth Estimation in the Real World

This paper addresses the problem of monocular metric depth estimation in aerial UAV imagery. Although recent data-driven methods have achieved remarkable progress in ground-level scenarios, models trained primarily on street-view and indoor datasets exhibit significant domain gaps when applied to aerial viewpoints. To tackle these challenges, we introduce AerialMetric, a benchmark dataset designed to evaluate and facilitate the adaptation of monocular metric depth estimation under UAV aerial viewpoints. The dataset consists of four complementary subsets collected from different sources, jointly covering real-world photogrammetry data, controlled aerial acquisition settings, photorealistic synthetic scenes, and in-the-wild Internet imagery. Totally, AerialMetric provides 52K real-world and 16K synthetic image-depth pairs with reliable metric ground truth. Based on this dataset, we conduct systematic evaluations of existing state-of-the-art models under aerial settings and investigate the impact of viewpoint, altitude, and camera parameters on metric depth prediction. In addition, by fine-tuning representative metric depth model on our dataset, we establish a comprehensive aerial benchmark and achieve state-of-the-art performance across diverse aerial imagery. Our dataset, code, and model weight are publicly available at https://kuieless.github.io/AerialMetric-ECCV2026-page/.

ReFPO: Reflow Regularization for Flow Matching Policy Gradients

We present Reflow-regularized Flow Matching Policy Gradients (ReFPO), a simple online RL method that adds explicit Reflow regularization to FPO for efficient flow-based control. We uncover a key structural property: the gradient updates in Flow Matching Policy Gradients (FPO) can be interpreted as an implicit advantage-weighted Reflow process, providing a new geometric perspective on flow-based policy gradients. Building on this insight, ReFPO introduces an explicit geometric regularizer that can be implemented with a single line of code change without incurring additional computational overhead or auxiliary distillation stages. By synergizing advantage-guided updates with path rectification, our method reduces CFM proxy-ratio spikes, stabilizes PPO-style training, and enables high-fidelity one-step inference that often matches or exceeds multi-step performance. We experimentally demonstrate that ReFPO improves average performance and discretization robustness across GridWorld, MuJoCo Playground, and high-dimensional Humanoid Control tasks, providing a scalable and stable approach for generative policies in complex physical simulations.

Sense Smarter, Think Better: Edge Perception for Next-Generation Networks

Edge perception has emerged as a foundational capability for future wireless networks, enabling the network edge to proactively sense, interpret, and interact with the physical environment in a task-oriented and resource-aware manner. This survey provides a comprehensive and structured overview of edge perception. We first review representative sensing modalities and edge artificial intelligence (AI) techniques as the fundamental building blocks. We then examine their synergistic interactions. We systematically analyze how edge AI enhances sensing capabilities, encompassing both in-band and out-of-band modalities, as well as multi-modal sensor data fusion. Moreover, we discuss the role of task-driven sensing in facilitating edge AI, including integrated sensing-communication-computation designs, and active perception frameworks that dynamically adapt sensing strategies for downstream applications. Finally, we identify key challenges and open issues. By consolidating fragmented research across sensing, communication, and edge AI, this survey provides forward-looking insights for the design and implementation of edge perception systems for sixth-generation (6G) networks.

Environment-Conditioned Diffusion Meta-Learning for Data-Efficient WiFi Localization

Fingerprinting-based localization often suffers from poor cross-environment generalization, especially when only a few labeled samples are available in the target environment. Existing methods mitigate distribution shifts through domain adaptation or improved signal representations, but they usually ignore environmental geometry or use it in a deterministic manner, limiting their ability to capture diverse multipath variations in complex propagation conditions. To address this issue, we propose EnvCoLoc, an environment-conditioned diffusion meta-learning framework for few-shot fingerprinting localization. EnvCoLoc extracts structured descriptors from 3D point clouds and uses them to condition a latent diffusion generator, which produces environment-specific parameter offsets to modulate a shared meta-learned initialization. This design injects geometry-aware priors into the adaptation process and provides more informative initializations for new environments. To learn the stochastic mapping from coarse environmental descriptors to high-dimensional parameter corrections under limited data, the diffusion generator and localization network are jointly optimized within a two-loop meta-learning framework. The generated offsets capture systematic environment-dependent variations, while gradient-based inner-loop adaptation further refines the model to reduce residual task-specific mismatch. We also provide an excess-loss analysis for finite-step adaptation, theoretically supporting the benefit of geometry-aware initialization. Real-world experiments show that EnvCoLoc consistently improves localization accuracy over baseline methods, achieving up to a 20.0% reduction in mean localization error in NLOS scenarios with only 10 support samples.

3DReflecNet: A Large-Scale Dataset for 3D Reconstruction of Reflective, Transparent, and Low-Texture Objects

Accurate 3D reconstruction of objects with reflective, transparent, or low-texture surfaces still remains notoriously challenging. Such materials often violate key assumptions in multi-view reconstruction pipelines, such as photometric consistency and the availability on distinct geometric texture cues. Existing datasets primarily focus on diffuse, textured objects, and therefore provide limited insight into performance under real-world material complexities. We introduce 3DReflecNet, a large-scale hybrid dataset exceeding 22 TB that is specifically designed to benchmark and advance 3D vision methods for these challenging materials. 3DReflecNet combines two types of data: over 120,000 synthetic instances generated via physically-based rendering of more than 12,000 shapes, and over 1,000 real-world objects captured using consumer devices. Together, these data consist of more than 7 million multi-view frames. The dataset spans diverse materials, complex lighting conditions, and a wide range of geometric forms, including shapes generated from both real and LLM-synthesized 2D images using diffusion-based pipelines. To support robust evaluation, we design benchmarks for five core tasks: image matching, structure-from-motion, novel view synthesis, reflection removal, and relighting. Extensive experiments demonstrate that state-of-the-art methods struggle to maintain accuracy across these settings, highlighting the need for more resilient 3D vision models.

ReImagine: Rethinking Controllable High-Quality Human Video Generation via Image-First Synthesis

Human video generation remains challenging due to the difficulty of jointly modeling human appearance, motion, and camera viewpoint under limited multi-view data. Existing methods often address these factors separately, resulting in limited controllability or reduced visual quality. We revisit this problem from an image-first perspective, where high-quality human appearance is learned via image generation and used as a prior for video synthesis, decoupling appearance modeling from temporal consistency. We propose a pose- and viewpoint-controllable pipeline that combines a pretrained image backbone with SMPL-X-based motion guidance, together with a training-free temporal refinement stage based on a pretrained video diffusion model. Our method produces high-quality, temporally consistent videos under diverse poses and viewpoints. We also release a canonical human dataset and an auxiliary model for compositional human image synthesis. Code and data are publicly available at https://github.com/Taited/ReImagine.

Building Low-Altitude Communication Networks: A Digital Twin-Based Optimization Framework

Low-altitude communication networks (LACNs) serve as the critical infrastructure of the emerging low-altitude economy (LAE), supporting services such as drone delivery and infrastructure inspection. However, LACNs operate in highly dynamic three-dimensional (3D) environments characterized by high mobility and predominantly line-of-sight (LoS) propagation, creating strong coupling among key performance objectives including coverage, interference mitigation, handover management, and sensing capability. Isolated tuning of individual objectives cannot capture these cross-objective interactions, rendering conventional approaches based on experience-driven tuning and repeated field trials inefficient and costly. To address these challenges, we propose DT-MOO, a Digital Twin-based Multi-Objective Optimization framework for LACNs. By constructing a high-fidelity virtual replica that integrates realistic environmental models, electromagnetic (EM) propagation, and traffic dynamics within a unified environment, DT-MOO enables joint evaluation and systematic optimization of interdependent network parameters, scoring candidate configurations by their combined effect on multiple objectives. As the foundational validation of the framework, we report real-world experiments in a 5G-enabled LACN focusing on coverage-interference co-optimization, where DT-MOO increases the high-quality coverage rate from 14.0% to 52.9% across all evaluated altitudes compared to an operator-provisioned, experience-based baseline, while achieving a net SINR gain under stringent criteria despite local spatial trade-offs, confirming its ability to handle coupled objectives in practical LACN deployment.
