Detecting AI-Generated Images via Diffusion Snap-Back Reconstruction: A Forensic Approach

This paper proposes a forensic method called "diffusion snap-back reconstruction," which detects AI-generated images by analyzing how perceptual similarity metrics change when an image is perturbed and reconstructed by a diffusion model, achieving high accuracy (AUROC of 0.993) and robustness against common distortions without relying on traditional pixel-level artifacts.

MUGSQA: Novel Multi-Uncertainty-Based Gaussian Splatting Quality Assessment Method, Dataset, and Benchmarks

This paper introduces MUGSQA, a novel framework comprising a multi-uncertainty-based Gaussian Splatting quality assessment dataset, a unified multi-distance subjective evaluation method, and two benchmarks designed to rigorously assess the robustness of reconstruction methods and the performance of existing quality metrics under varying input conditions.

Counting Through Occlusion: Framework for Open World Amodal Counting

This paper introduces CountOCC, a novel amodal counting framework that overcomes the limitations of existing methods under occlusion by hierarchically reconstructing complete object features through multimodal guidance and visual equivalence objectives, achieving state-of-the-art performance on newly established occlusion-augmented benchmarks.

Video2Layout: Recall and Reconstruct Metric-Grounded Cognitive Map for Spatial Reasoning

The paper proposes Video2Layout, a two-stage framework that reconstructs metric-grounded spatial layouts using continuous object boundary coordinates instead of discretized grids, thereby enhancing fine-grained spatial reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models and achieving superior performance on spatial benchmarks.

UnfoldLDM: Deep Unfolding-based Blind Image Restoration with Latent Diffusion Priors

The paper proposes UnfoldLDM, a deep unfolding framework that integrates a multi-granularity degradation-aware module for robust degradation estimation and a degradation-resistant latent diffusion model with an over-smoothing correction transformer to effectively address blind image restoration by overcoming degradation-specific dependencies and suppressing over-smoothing bias.

Integrating a Causal Foundation Model into a Prescriptive Maintenance Framework for Optimising Production-Line OEE

This paper proposes a prescriptive maintenance framework that integrates a pre-trained causal foundation model as a "what-if" simulator to identify root causes and recommend optimal interventions, thereby overcoming the limitations of purely predictive models to enhance production-line Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
