Abstract:The field of sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR) mainly uses posture, motion and context data of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) to identify daily activities. Despite the advancements in learning-based methods, it is challenging to perform information fusion from the temporal perspective due to the complexities in fusing heterogeneous sensor data and establishing long-term context correlations. This paper proposes a novel triple spectral fusion framework tailored for HAR. First, we develop an adaptive complementary filtering technique for noise suppression and organize each IMU's sensors into posture and motion modality nodes. Given that IMU nodes form a dynamic heterogeneous graph, we then apply adaptive filtering within the graph Fourier domain to merge both homogeneous and heterogeneous node information. Furthermore, an adaptive wavelet frequency selection approach is implemented to suppress context redundancy and shorten the length of features. This approach enhances both timestamp-based graph aggregation and the correlation of long-term contexts. Our framework uses adaptive filtering in the Fourier, graph Fourier, and wavelet domains, enabling effective multi-sensor fusion and context correlation. Extensive experiments on ten benchmark datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our framework. Project page: https://github.com/crocodilegogogo/TSF-TPAMI2026.
Abstract:Recent self-supervised stereo matching methods have made significant progress. They typically rely on the photometric consistency assumption, which presumes corresponding points across views share the same appearance. However, this assumption could be compromised by real-world disturbances, resulting in invalid supervisory signals and a significant accuracy gap compared to supervised methods. To address this issue, we propose SMFormer, a framework integrating more reliable self-supervision guided by the Vision Foundation Model (VFM) and data augmentation. We first incorporate the VFM with the Feature Pyramid Network (FPN), providing a discriminative and robust feature representation against disturbance in various scenarios. We then devise an effective data augmentation mechanism that ensures robustness to various transformations. The data augmentation mechanism explicitly enforces consistency between learned features and those influenced by illumination variations. Additionally, it regularizes the output consistency between disparity predictions of strong augmented samples and those generated from standard samples. Experiments on multiple mainstream benchmarks demonstrate that our SMFormer achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance among self-supervised methods and even competes on par with supervised ones. Remarkably, in the challenging Booster benchmark, SMFormer even outperforms some SOTA supervised methods, such as CFNet.
Abstract:Video fundamentally intertwines two crucial axes: the dynamic content of a scene and the camera motion through which it is observed. However, existing generation models often entangle these factors, limiting independent control. In this work, we introduce OmniCamera, a unified framework designed to explicitly disentangle and command these two dimensions. This compositional approach enables flexible video generation by allowing arbitrary pairings of camera and content conditions, unlocking unprecedented creative control. To overcome the fundamental challenges of modality conflict and data scarcity inherent in such a system, we present two key innovations. First, we construct OmniCAM, a novel hybrid dataset combining curated real-world videos with synthetic data that provides diverse paired examples for robust multi-task learning. Second, we propose a Dual-level Curriculum Co-Training strategy that mitigates modality interference and synergistically learns from diverse data sources. This strategy operates on two levels: first, it progressively introduces control modalities by difficulties (condition-level), and second, trains for precise control on synthetic data before adapting to real data for photorealism (data-level). As a result, OmniCamera achieves state-of-the-art performance, enabling flexible control for complex camera movements while maintaining superior visual quality.
Abstract:This paper addresses a fundamental problem of visuomotor policy learning for robotic manipulation: how to enhance robustness in out-of-distribution execution errors or dynamically re-routing trajectories, where the model relies solely on the original expert demonstrations for training. We introduce the Referring-Aware Visuomotor Policy (ReV), a closed-loop framework that can adapt to unforeseen circumstances by instantly incorporating sparse referring points provided by a human or a high-level reasoning planner. Specifically, ReV leverages the coupled diffusion heads to preserve standard task execution patterns while seamlessly integrating sparse referring via a trajectory-steering strategy. Upon receiving a specific referring point, the global diffusion head firstly generates a sequence of globally consistent yet temporally sparse action anchors, while identifies the precise temporal position for the referring point within this sequence. Subsequently, the local diffusion head adaptively interpolates adjacent anchors based on the current temporal position for specific tasks. This closed-loop process repeats at every execution step, enabling real-time trajectory replanning in response to dynamic changes in the scene. In practice, rather than relying on elaborate annotations, ReV is trained only by applying targeted perturbations to expert demonstrations. Without any additional data or fine-tuning scheme, ReV achieve higher success rates across challenging simulated and real-world tasks.
Abstract:LiDAR point clouds are fundamental to various applications, yet the extreme sparsity of high-precision geometric details hinders efficient context modeling, thereby limiting the compression speed and performance of existing methods. To address this challenge, we propose a compact representation for efficient predictive lossless coding. Our framework comprises two lightweight modules. First, the Geometry Re-Densification Module iteratively densifies encoded sparse geometry, extracts features at a dense scale, and then sparsifies the features for predictive coding. This module avoids costly computation on highly sparse details while maintaining a lightweight prediction head. Second, the Cross-scale Feature Propagation Module leverages occupancy cues from multiple resolution levels to guide hierarchical feature propagation, enabling information sharing across scales and reducing redundant feature extraction. Additionally, we introduce an integer-only inference pipeline to enable bit-exact cross-platform consistency, which avoids the entropy-coding collapse observed in existing neural compression methods and further accelerates coding. Experiments demonstrate competitive compression performance at real-time speed. Code will be released upon acceptance. Code is available at https://github.com/pengpeng-yu/FastPCC.




Abstract:3D scene graph prediction aims to abstract complex 3D environments into structured graphs consisting of objects and their pairwise relationships. Existing approaches typically adopt object-centric graph neural networks, where relation edge features are iteratively updated by aggregating messages from connected object nodes. However, this design inherently restricts relation representations to pairwise object context, making it difficult to capture high-order relational dependencies that are essential for accurate relation prediction. To address this limitation, we propose a Link-guided Edge-centric relational reasoning framework with Object-aware fusion, namely LEO, which enables progressive reasoning from relation-level context to object-level understanding. Specifically, LEO first predicts potential links between object pairs to suppress irrelevant edges, and then transforms the original scene graph into a line graph where each relation is treated as a node. A line graph neural network is applied to perform edge-centric relational reasoning to capture inter-relation context. The enriched relation features are subsequently integrated into the original object-centric graph to enhance object-level reasoning and improve relation prediction. Our framework is model-agnostic and can be integrated with any existing object-centric method. Experiments on the 3DSSG dataset with two competitive baselines show consistent improvements, highlighting the effectiveness of our edge-to-object reasoning paradigm.
Abstract:Diffusion Policy (DP) enables robots to learn complex behaviors by imitating expert demonstrations through action diffusion. However, in practical applications, hardware limitations often degrade data quality, while real-time constraints restrict model inference to instantaneous state and scene observations. These limitations seriously reduce the efficacy of learning from expert demonstrations, resulting in failures in object localization, grasp planning, and long-horizon task execution. To address these challenges, we propose Causal Diffusion Policy (CDP), a novel transformer-based diffusion model that enhances action prediction by conditioning on historical action sequences, thereby enabling more coherent and context-aware visuomotor policy learning. To further mitigate the computational cost associated with autoregressive inference, a caching mechanism is also introduced to store attention key-value pairs from previous timesteps, substantially reducing redundant computations during execution. Extensive experiments in both simulated and real-world environments, spanning diverse 2D and 3D manipulation tasks, demonstrate that CDP uniquely leverages historical action sequences to achieve significantly higher accuracy than existing methods. Moreover, even when faced with degraded input observation quality, CDP maintains remarkable precision by reasoning through temporal continuity, which highlights its practical robustness for robotic control under realistic, imperfect conditions.
Abstract:Infrared small target (IRST) detection is challenging in simultaneously achieving precise, universal, robust and efficient performance due to extremely dim targets and strong interference. Current learning-based methods attempt to leverage ``more" information from both the spatial and the short-term temporal domains, but suffer from unreliable performance under complex conditions while incurring computational redundancy. In this paper, we explore the ``more essential" information from a more crucial domain for the detection. Through theoretical analysis, we reveal that the global temporal saliency and correlation information in the temporal profile demonstrate significant superiority in distinguishing target signals from other signals. To investigate whether such superiority is preferentially leveraged by well-trained networks, we built the first prediction attribution tool in this field and verified the importance of the temporal profile information. Inspired by the above conclusions, we remodel the IRST detection task as a one-dimensional signal anomaly detection task, and propose an efficient deep temporal probe network (DeepPro) that only performs calculations in the time dimension for IRST detection. We conducted extensive experiments to fully validate the effectiveness of our method. The experimental results are exciting, as our DeepPro outperforms existing state-of-the-art IRST detection methods on widely-used benchmarks with extremely high efficiency, and achieves a significant improvement on dim targets and in complex scenarios. We provide a new modeling domain, a new insight, a new method, and a new performance, which can promote the development of IRST detection. Codes are available at https://github.com/TinaLRJ/DeepPro.
Abstract:Accurately analyzing the motion parts and their motion attributes in dynamic environments is crucial for advancing key areas such as embodied intelligence. Addressing the limitations of existing methods that rely on dense multi-view images or detailed part-level annotations, we propose an innovative framework that can analyze 3D mobility from monocular videos in a zero-shot manner. This framework can precisely parse motion parts and motion attributes only using a monocular video, completely eliminating the need for annotated training data. Specifically, our method first constructs the scene geometry and roughly analyzes the motion parts and their initial motion attributes combining depth estimation, optical flow analysis and point cloud registration method, then employs 2D Gaussian splatting for scene representation. Building on this, we introduce an end-to-end dynamic scene optimization algorithm specifically designed for articulated objects, refining the initial analysis results to ensure the system can handle 'rotation', 'translation', and even complex movements ('rotation+translation'), demonstrating high flexibility and versatility. To validate the robustness and wide applicability of our method, we created a comprehensive dataset comprising both simulated and real-world scenarios. Experimental results show that our framework can effectively analyze articulated object motions in an annotation-free manner, showcasing its significant potential in future embodied intelligence applications.
Abstract:Cross-view geo-localization is a promising solution for large-scale localization problems, requiring the sequential execution of retrieval and metric localization tasks to achieve fine-grained predictions. However, existing methods typically focus on designing standalone models for these two tasks, resulting in inefficient collaboration and increased training overhead. In this paper, we propose UnifyGeo, a novel unified hierarchical geo-localization framework that integrates retrieval and metric localization tasks into a single network. Specifically, we first employ a unified learning strategy with shared parameters to jointly learn multi-granularity representation, facilitating mutual reinforcement between these two tasks. Subsequently, we design a re-ranking mechanism guided by a dedicated loss function, which enhances geo-localization performance by improving both retrieval accuracy and metric localization references. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UnifyGeo significantly outperforms the state-of-the-arts in both task-isolated and task-associated settings. Remarkably, on the challenging VIGOR benchmark, which supports fine-grained localization evaluation, the 1-meter-level localization recall rate improves from 1.53\% to 39.64\% and from 0.43\% to 25.58\% under same-area and cross-area evaluations, respectively. Code will be made publicly available.
