Alignment-Aware and Reliability-Gated Multimodal Fusion for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Detection Across Heterogeneous Thermal-Visual Sensors

This paper proposes two novel fusion strategies, Registration-aware Guided Image Fusion (RGIF) and Reliability-Gated Modality-Attention Fusion (RGMAF), which effectively integrate heterogeneous thermal and visual sensor data to significantly enhance unmanned aerial vehicle detection performance across diverse perspectives and resolutions.

Exploring Deep Learning and Ultra-Widefield Imaging for Diabetic Retinopathy and Macular Edema

This study leverages the MICCAI 2024 UWF4DR dataset to benchmark state-of-the-art deep learning models, including CNNs, Vision Transformers, and foundation models, in both spatial and frequency domains for image quality assessment, referable diabetic retinopathy detection, and diabetic macular edema identification using ultra-widefield imaging, demonstrating that feature-level fusion and frequency-domain representations yield robust and explainable results.

DynamicVGGT: Learning Dynamic Point Maps for 4D Scene Reconstruction in Autonomous Driving

This paper introduces DynamicVGGT, a unified feed-forward framework that extends static 3D perception to dynamic 4D scene reconstruction for autonomous driving by jointly predicting current and future point maps, utilizing a Motion-aware Temporal Attention module for temporal coherence, and employing a Dynamic 3D Gaussian Splatting Head to explicitly model point motion and refine geometry.

OSCAR: Occupancy-based Shape Completion via Acoustic Neural Implicit Representations

The paper proposes OSCAR, a label-free method that utilizes coupled latent spaces and neural implicit representations to accurately reconstruct complete 3D vertebral anatomy from partial ultrasound images by implicitly modeling acoustic shadowing and signal transmission, achieving an 80% improvement in HD95 score over state-of-the-art techniques.

Retrieval-Augmented Anatomical Guidance for Text-to-CT Generation

This paper proposes a retrieval-augmented framework for text-to-CT generation that leverages a 3D vision-language encoder to retrieve semantically related clinical cases and their anatomical annotations as structural proxies, thereby enhancing image fidelity and spatial controllability in a realistic inference setting without requiring ground-truth annotations.

Human-AI Divergence in Ego-centric Action Recognition under Spatial and Spatiotemporal Manipulations

This paper presents a large-scale comparative study using the Epic ReduAct dataset and over 3,000 human participants to demonstrate that while humans rely on sparse, semantically critical cues for egocentric action recognition, state-of-the-art AI models degrade more gradually by depending on contextual and low-level features, revealing fundamental divergences in how humans and machines process spatial and spatiotemporal information.
