SoPE: Spherical Coordinate-Based Positional Embedding for Enhancing Spatial Perception of 3D LVLMs

This paper introduces SoPE, a novel spherical coordinate-based positional embedding that replaces the suboptimal Rotary Position Embedding in 3D Large Vision-Language Models to better preserve 3D geometric structures and directional dependencies, thereby significantly enhancing spatial perception and generalization across various benchmarks.

Face Time Traveller : Travel Through Ages Without Losing Identity

Face Time Traveller (FaceTT) is a novel diffusion-based framework that achieves high-fidelity, identity-consistent age transformations by integrating a Face-Attribute-Aware Prompt Refinement strategy, a tuning-free Angular Inversion method, and an Adaptive Attention Control mechanism to overcome the limitations of existing models in preserving identity and background realism.
