We present InstantSticker, a disentangled reconstruction pipeline based on Image-Based Lighting (IBL), which focuses on highly realistic decal blending, simulates stickers attached to the reconstructed surface, and allows for instant editing and real-time rendering. To achieve stereoscopic impression of the decal, we introduce shadow factor into IBL, which can be adaptively optimized during training. This allows the shadow brightness of surfaces to be accurately decomposed rather than baked into the diffuse color, ensuring that the edited texture exhibits authentic shading. To address the issues of warping and blurriness in previous methods, we apply As-Rigid-As-Possible (ARAP) parameterization to pre-unfold a specified area of the mesh and use the local UV mapping combined with a neural texture map to enhance the ability to express high-frequency details in that area. For instant editing, we utilize the Disney BRDF model, explicitly defining material colors with 3-channel diffuse albedo. This enables instant replacement of albedo RGB values during the editing process, avoiding the prolonged optimization required in previous approaches. In our experiment, we introduce the Ratio Variance Warping (RVW) metric to evaluate the local geometric warping of the decal area. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our method surpasses previous decal blending methods in terms of editing quality, editing speed and rendering speed, achieving the state-of-the-art.

World models have demonstrated superiority in autonomous driving, particularly in the generation of multi-view driving videos. However, significant challenges still exist in generating customized driving videos. In this paper, we propose DriveDreamer-2, which incorporates a Large Language Model (LLM) to facilitate the creation of user-defined driving videos. Specifically, a trajectory generation function library is developed to produce trajectories that conform to user descriptions. Subsequently, an HDMap generator is designed to learn the mapping from trajectories to road structures. Ultimately, we propose the Unified Multi-View Model (UniMVM) to enhance temporal and spatial coherence in the generated multi-view driving videos. To the best of our knowledge, DriveDreamer-2 is the first world model to generate customized driving videos, and it can generate uncommon driving videos (e.g., vehicles abruptly cut in) in a user-friendly manner. Besides, experimental results demonstrate that the generated videos enhance the training of driving perception methods (e.g., 3D detection and tracking). Furthermore, video generation quality of DriveDreamer-2 surpasses other state-of-the-art methods, showcasing FID and FVD scores of 11.2 and 55.7, representing relative improvements of $\sim$30\% and $\sim$50\%.

Recent research on LiDAR-based 3D object detectors has shown strong performance; however, evaluations typically focus on dominant classes, overlooking rare classes, such as strollers, which could be critical in real autonomous driving scenarios. This oversight is problematic because state-of-the-art 3D object detectors show significantly lower performance on rare classes compared to dominant ones when trained on both. To address this issue and achieve accurate 3D rare object detection using only LiDAR data, we propose the Neighbor-Based confidence Adjustment for 3D rare class predictions (NBA3D). NBA3D utilizes a graph neural network to analyze the surrounding environment of rare class prediction boxes, enabling more effective distinction between true positives and false positives based on their local context. Our approach leverages both 3D prediction box characteristics and CLIP-based class semantic information to better contextualize neighboring objects. Various experiments demonstrate that NBA3D effectively improves the detection performance of rare class objects, regardless of the type of 3D object detectors used.

The imperative for texture compression emerges from the critical demand for high-quality rendering, which necessitates sophisticated textures that, in turn, require substantial storage and memory resources. Thus, low-bitrate compression is crucial, especially in modern games demanding higher texture resolutions. Concurrent methodologies in texture compression predominantly employ a block-based paradigm based on color space, which inevitably leads to representational redundancies and a limited compression scope, particularly at lower bitrates. In the context of mobile devices, bandwidth during texture loading and runtime memory are major bottlenecks, making existing compression algorithms inadequate for high-resolution textures. To mitigate these limitations, we propose a novel multi-resolution texture compression scheme, Neural Block Compression (NBC), developed within the neural feature domain. Our encoding scheme is constructed on a hierarchy of multi-resolution neural feature blocks, and the key ingredient is the variable bitrates quantization scheme. This scheme allocates higher bitrates to higher feature mip-levels and lower bitrates to lower feature mip-levels, thereby extending the concept of block compression from color domain into neural feature domain. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior texture compression quality achieved by the proposed scheme, especially at low bitrates.

Previous virtual try-on methods have employed ControlNet architecture in exemplar-based inpainting diffusion models to guide the generation of try-on images, preserving the garment's features and enhancing the realism of the generated images. While these methods have maintained the identity of the garment and improved the naturalness of the generated images, they still face the following limitations: (1) For garments with complex features, such as intricate text, patterns, and uncommon styles, they struggle to retain these detailed features in the generated try-on images. (2) They are limited to generating try-on images at a maximum resolution of 1K, which may not meet the demands of real-world scenarios, where higher resolutions might be required. To address the aforementioned issues, in this paper, we propose a Cascaded Diffusion Model for virtual try-on to enhance both image controllability and resolution. We call it CDM-VTON. Specifically, we design two diffusion models: the Multi-Conditioned Diffusion Model (MC-DM) and the Super-Resolution Diffusion Model (SR-DM). The former generates low-resolution try-on images while preserving the garment's complex features, and the latter enhances the resolution of these images. Additionally, we incorporate a multi-control integration module in the MC-DM, which injects multiple control conditions into a frozen denoising U-Net to ensure that the generated try-on images retain complex garment features. Our experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms previous approaches in preserving garment details and generating authentic virtual try-on images, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Cascaded Diffusion Models for Virtual Try-On: Improving Control and Resolution

In structured light systems, the accuracy of measurement notably diminishes when assessing complex texture objects, especially encountering boundaries between various colors. To address this challenge, this paper meticulously analyzes and establishes an error model, elaborating the correlation between phase errors and the gradients of phase and gray-scale. Based on this analysis, a novel high-precision method is proposed for measuring complex texture objects via bidirectional fringe projection. This approach firstly leverages horizontal and vertical fringe projections to derive bidirectional phase information and calculates the angles between the tangent of the texture edges and the phase gradient. Subsequently, a refined temporal phase correction algorithm is formulated based on the epipolar matching algorithm and the devised error model, effectively mitigating numerical instability issues within the algorithm and significantly reducing errors of bidirectional phases. Ultimately, corrected point clouds are calculated based on bidirectional phases, and the obtained point clouds are merged to further diminish phase errors. Comparison experiments indicate that this method can reduce Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) by 65.74% and 67.75%, respectively. Compared to existing methods, it improves performance by 27.29% and 33.74%, respectively, demonstrating superior performance.

3D Measurement of Complex Textured Objects Based on Bidirectional Fringe Projection

Current out-of-distribution (OOD) detection methods typically assume balanced in-distribution (ID) data, while most real-world data follow a long-tailed distribution. Previous approaches to long-tailed OOD detection often involve balancing the ID data by reducing the semantics of head classes. However, this reduction can severely affect the classification accuracy of ID data. The main challenge of this task lies in the severe lack of features for tail classes, leading to confusion with OOD data. To tackle this issue, we introduce a novel Prioritizing Attention to Tail (PATT) method using augmentation instead of reduction. Our main intuition involves using a mixture of von Mises-Fisher (vMF) distributions to model the ID data and a temperature scaling module to boost the confidence of ID data. This enables us to generate infinite contrastive pairs, implicitly enhancing the semantics of ID classes while promoting differentiation between ID and OOD data. To further strengthen the detection of OOD data without compromising the classification performance of ID data, we propose feature calibration during the inference phase. By extracting an attention weight from the training set that prioritizes the tail classes and reduces the confidence in OOD data, we improve the OOD detection capability. Extensive experiments verified that our method outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods on various benchmarks.

Long-Tailed Out-of-Distribution Detection: Prioritizing Attention to Tail

3D Referring Expression Segmentation (3D-RES) aims to segment point cloud scenes based on a given expression. However, existing 3D-RES approaches face two major challenges: feature ambiguity and intent ambiguity. Feature ambiguity arises from information loss or distortion during point cloud acquisition due to limitations such as lighting and viewpoint. Intent ambiguity refers to the model's equal treatment of all queries during the decoding process, lacking top-down task-specific guidance. In this paper, we introduce an Image-enhanced Prompt Decoding Network (IPDN), which leverages multi-view images and task-driven information to enhance the model's reasoning capabilities. To address feature ambiguity, we propose the Multi-view Semantic Embedding (MSE) module, which injects multi-view 2D image information into the 3D scene and compensates for potential spatial information loss. To tackle intent ambiguity, we designed a Prompt-Aware Decoder (PAD) that guides the decoding process by deriving task-driven signals from the interaction between the expression and visual features. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that IPDN outperforms the state-of-the-art by 1.9 and 5.4 points in mIoU metrics on the 3D-RES and 3D-GRES tasks, respectively.

An essential component in Large Language Models (LLMs) is Rotary Position Encoding (RoPE) , which efficiently manages positional dependencies in long-context modeling. However, when the number of input tokens surpasses the pretrained capacity of LLMs, their ability to process and generate text is markedly weakened. Although position interpolation techniques for RoPE can mitigate this issue, an increase in interpolations leads to a decrease in positional resolution. To tackle this challenge, drawing inspiration from the Bloch Sphere representation, we propose a novel rotary position encoding on a three-dimensional sphere, named 3D Rotary Position Encoding (3D-RPE). 3D-RPE is an advanced version of the widely used 2D RoPE, with two major advantages for modeling long contexts: controllable long-term decay and improved position resolution. For controllable long-term decay, 3D-RPE allows for the regulation of long-term decay within the chunk size, ensuring the modeling of relative positional information  between tokens at a distant relative position. For improved position resolution, 3D-RPE can mitigate the degradation of position resolution caused by position interpolation on RoPE. We have conducted experiments on long-context Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and long sequence Language Modeling (LM) tasks. From the experimental results, 3D-RPE achieved performance improvements over RoPE, especially in long-context NLU tasks.

Recent methods using diffusion models have made significant progress in human image generation with various additional controls such as pose priors. Existing methods struggle to generate high-quality human images with consistent pose alignment, resulting in unsatisfactory outcomes. In this paper, we propose a framework by delving into the graph relations of pose priors to provide control information for human image generation. The main idea is to establish a graph topological structure between the pose and latent representation of diffusion models to capture the intrinsic associations between different pose parts. A Progressive Graph Integrator (PGI) is designed to learn the spatial relationships of the pose priors with the graph structure, adopting a multi-scale strategy within the adapter to gradually propagate information across different pose parts. A pose perception loss is introduced by using a pretrained pose estimation network to minimize the pose differences. Extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments on the Human-Art and LAION-Human datasets demonstrate that our model achieves advanced performance, with a 9.98% increase in pose average precision compared to ControlNet. The code is released on xxx.

GRPose: Learning Graph Relations for Human Image Generation with Pose Priors

The primary challenge in continuous sign language recognition (CSLR) mainly stems from the presence of multi-orientational and long-term motions. However, current research overlooks these crucial aspects, significantly impacting accuracy. To tackle these issues, we propose a novel CSLR framework: Orientation-aware Long-term Motion Decoupling (OLMD), which efficiently aggregates long-term motions and decouples multi-orientational signals into easily interpretable components. Specifically, our innovative Long-term Motion Aggregation (LMA) module filters out static redundancy while adaptively capturing abundant features of long-term motions.
 We further enhance orientation awareness by decoupling complex movements into horizontal and vertical components, allowing for motion purification in both orientations.
Additionally, two coupling mechanisms are proposed: stage and cross-stage coupling, which together enrich multi-scale features and improve the generalization capabilities of the model. Experimentally, OLMD shows SOTA performance on three large-scale datasets: PHOENIX14, PHOENIX14-T, and CSL-Daily. Notably, we improve the word error rate (WER) on PHOENIX14 by 
an absolute 1.6% compared to the previous SOTA.
