VCR: Variance-Driven Channel Recalibration for Robust Low-Light Enhancement

Most sRGB-based LLIE methods suffer from entangled luminance and color, while the HSV color space offers insufficient decoupling at the cost of introducing significant red and black noise artifacts. Recently, the HVI color space has been proposed to address these limitations by enhancing color fidelity through chrominance polarization and intensity compression. However, existing methods could suffer from channel-level inconsistency between luminance and chrominance, and misaligned color distribution may lead to unnatural enhancement results. To address these challenges, we propose the Variance-Driven Channel Recalibration for Robust Low-Light Enhancement (VCR), a novel framework for low-light image enhancement. VCR consists of two main components, including the Channel Adaptive Adjustment (CAA) module, which employs variance-guided feature filtering to enhance the model's focus on regions with high intensity and color distribution. And the Color Distribution Alignment (CDA) module, which enforces distribution alignment in the color feature space. These designs enhance perceptual quality under low-light conditions. Experimental results on several benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance compared with existing methods.

Adaptive Agent Selection and Interaction Network for Image-to-point cloud Registration

Typical detection-free methods for image-to-point cloud registration leverage transformer-based architectures to aggregate cross-modal features and establish correspondences. However, they often struggle under challenging conditions, where noise disrupts similarity computation and leads to incorrect correspondences. Moreover, without dedicated designs, it remains difficult to effectively select informative and correlated representations across modalities, thereby limiting the robustness and accuracy of registration. To address these challenges, we propose a novel cross-modal registration framework composed of two key modules: the Iterative Agents Selection (IAS) module and the Reliable Agents Interaction (RAI) module. IAS enhances structural feature awareness with phase maps and employs reinforcement learning principles to efficiently select reliable agents. RAI then leverages these selected agents to guide cross-modal interactions, effectively reducing mismatches and improving overall robustness. Extensive experiments on the RGB-D Scenes v2 and 7-Scenes benchmarks demonstrate that our method consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance.

CA-I2P: Channel-Adaptive Registration Network with Global Optimal Selection

Detection-free methods typically follow a coarse-to-fine pipeline, extracting image and point cloud features for patch-level matching and refining dense pixel-to-point correspondences. However, differences in feature channel attention between images and point clouds may lead to degraded matching results, ultimately impairing registration accuracy. Furthermore, similar structures in the scene could lead to redundant correspondences in cross-modal matching. To address these issues, we propose Channel Adaptive Adjustment Module (CAA) and Global Optimal Selection Module (GOS). CAA enhances intra-modal features and suppresses cross-modal sensitivity, while GOS replaces local selection with global optimization. Experiments on RGB-D Scenes V2 and 7-Scenes demonstrate the superiority of our method, achieving state-of-the-art performance in image-to-point cloud registration.

Bridge 2D-3D: Uncertainty-aware Hierarchical Registration Network with Domain Alignment

The method for image-to-point cloud registration typically determines the rigid transformation using a coarse-to-fine pipeline. However, directly and uniformly matching image patches with point cloud patches may lead to focusing on incorrect noise patches during matching while ignoring key ones. Moreover, due to the significant differences between image and point cloud modalities, it may be challenging to bridge the domain gap without specific improvements in design. To address the above issues, we innovatively propose the Uncertainty-aware Hierarchical Matching Module (UHMM) and the Adversarial Modal Alignment Module (AMAM). Within the UHMM, we model the uncertainty of critical information in image patches and facilitate multi-level fusion interactions between image and point cloud features. In the AMAM, we design an adversarial approach to reduce the domain gap between image and point cloud. Extensive experiments and ablation studies on RGB-D Scene V2 and 7-Scenes benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our method, making it a state-of-the-art approach for image-to-point cloud registration tasks.
