TextDS: Parameter-Efficient Representation Alignment for Scene Text Detection under Distribution Shifts

In real-world deployments, scene text detectors inevitably face distribution shifts beyond the training distribution. Prior work often depends on large-scale scene-text pretraining, yet evaluation under cross-domain changes and real-world imaging degradations remains limited. We propose TextDS, an efficient framework for scene text detection under distribution shifts. First, we propose a data-efficient dual-encoder design with visual foundation models, eliminating the reliance on large-scale scene-text pretraining. Second, we introduce Step-wise LoRA adaptation (SWLoRA), which performs progressive low-rank refinement with a dynamic early-exit mechanism for effective feature adaptation. Third, we propose Common Subspace Fusion (CSF) to align and fuse the two branches in a shared subspace while retaining complementary, shift-robust information. Finally, we construct adverse-condition scene text detection datasets to address the gap in evaluating under imaging degradation. Experiments show that TextDS achieves competitive performance in scene text detection, demonstrating robustness across domains and adverse imaging conditions with only 4.9M trainable parameters.

HVG-3D: Bridging Real and Simulation Domains for 3D-Conditional Hand-Object Interaction Video Synthesis

Recent methods have made notable progress in the visual quality of hand-object interaction video synthesis. However, most approaches rely on 2D control signals that lack spatial expressiveness and limit the utilization of synthetic 3D conditional data. To address these limitations, we propose HVG-3D, a unified framework for 3D-aware hand-object interaction (HOI) video synthesis conditioned on explicit 3D representations. Specifically, we develop a diffusion-based architecture augmented with a 3D ControlNet, which encodes geometric and motion cues from 3D inputs to enable explicit 3D reasoning during video synthesis. To achieve high-quality synthesis, HVG-3D is designed with two core components: (i) a 3D-aware HOI video generation diffusion architecture that encodes geometric and motion cues from 3D inputs for explicit 3D reasoning; and (ii) a hybrid pipeline for constructing input and condition signals, enabling flexible and precise control during both training and inference. During inference, given a single real image and a 3D control signal from either simulation or real data, HVG-3D generates high-fidelity, temporally consistent videos with precise spatial and temporal control. Experiments on the TASTE-Rob dataset demonstrate that HVG-3D achieves state-of-the-art spatial fidelity, temporal coherence, and controllability, while enabling effective utilization of both real and simulated data.
