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.

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.

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.

Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in image generation. Despite their progress, challenges remain in both prompt-following ability, image quality and lack of high-quality datasets, which are essential for refining these models. As acquiring labeled data is costly, we introduce AGFSync, a framework that enhances T2I diffusion models through Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) in a fully AI-driven approach. AGFSync utilizes Vision-Language Models (VLM) to assess image quality across style, coherence, and aesthetics, generating feedback data within an AI-driven loop. By applying AGFSync to leading T2I models such as SD v1.4, v1.5, and SDXL, our extensive experiments on the TIFA dataset demonstrate notable improvements in VQA scores, aesthetic evaluations, and performance on the HPSv2 benchmark, consistently outperforming the base models. AGFSync's method of refining T2I diffusion models paves the way for scalable alignment techniques. Our code is publicly available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/AGFSync. The established dataset will be publicly released upon acceptance.

Visual emotion recognition (VER), which aims at understanding humans' emotional reactions toward different visual stimuli, has attracted increasing attention. Given the subjective and ambiguous characteristics of emotion, annotating a reliable large-scale dataset is hard. For reducing reliance on data labeling, domain adaptation offers an alternative solution by adapting models trained on labeled source data to unlabeled target data. Conventional domain adaptation methods require access to source data. However, due to privacy concerns, source emotional data may be inaccessible. To address this issue, we propose an unexplored task: source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) for VER, which does not have access to source data during the adaptation process. To achieve this, we propose a novel framework termed Bridge then Begin Anew (BBA), which consists of two steps: domain-bridged model generation (DMG) and target-related model adaptation (TMA). First, the DMG bridges cross-domain gaps by generating an intermediate model, avoiding direct alignment between two VER datasets with significant differences.
Then, the TMA begins training the target model anew to fit the target structure, avoiding the influence of source-specific knowledge. 
Extensive experiments are conducted on six SFDA settings for VER. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of BBA, which achieves remarkable performance gains compared with state-of-the-art SFDA methods and outperforms representative unsupervised domain adaptation approaches. Our source code will be released.

Video procedure planning, i.e., planning a sequence of action steps given the video frames of start and goal states, is an essential ability for embodied AI. Recent works utilize Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate enriched action step description texts to guide action step decoding. Although introducing LLMs, these methods decode the action steps into a close set of one-hot vectors, limiting the model's capability of generalizing to new steps or tasks. Additionally, the fixed action step descriptions based on world-level commonsense may contain noise in specific samples of visual states. In this paper, we propose PlanLLM, a cross-modal joint learning framework with LLMs for video procedure planning. We propose LLM-Enhanced Planning module which fully use the generalization ability of LLMs to produce free form planning outputs and to enhance action step decoding. We also propose Mutual Information Maximization module to connect world-level commonsense of step descriptions and sample-specific information of visual states, enabling LLMs to employ the reasoning ability to generate step sequence. With the assistance of LLMs, our method can deal with both close set and open vocabulary procedure planning tasks. Our PlanLLM achieves state-of-the-art performance on three benchmarks, demonstrating the effectiveness of our designs.

The goal of video moment retrieval and highlight detection is to identify specific segments and highlights based on a given text query. With the rapid growth of video content and the overlap between these tasks, recent works have addressed both simultaneously. However, they still struggle to fully capture the overall video context, making it challenging to determine which words are most relevant. In this paper, we present a novel Video Context-aware Keyword Attention module that overcomes this limitation by capturing keyword variation within the context of the entire video. To achieve this, we introduce a video context clustering module that provides concise representations of the overall video context, thereby enhancing the understanding of keyword dynamics. Furthermore, we propose a keyword weight detection module with keyword-aware contrastive learning that incorporates keyword information to enhance fine-grained alignment between visual and textual features. Extensive experiments on the QVHighlights, TVSum, and Charades-STA benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed method significantly improves performance in moment retrieval and highlight detection tasks compared to existing approaches.

Molecular representation learning plays a crucial role in various downstream tasks, such as molecular property prediction and drug design. To accurately represent molecules, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Graph Transformers (GTs) have shown potential in the realm of self-supervised pre-training. However, existing approaches often overlook the relationship between molecular structure and electronic information, as well as the internal semantic reasoning within molecules. This omission of fundamental chemical knowledge in graph semantics leads to incomplete molecular representations, missing the integration of structural and electronic data. To address these issues, we introduce MOL-Mamba, a framework that enhances molecular representation by combining structural and electronic insights. MOL-Mamba consists of an **Atom \& Fragment Mamba-Graph (MG)** for hierarchical structural reasoning and a **Mamba-Transformer (MT) fuser** for integrating molecular structure and electronic correlation learning. Additionally, we propose a **Structural Distribution Collaborative Training** and **E-semantic Fusion Training** framework to further enhance molecular representation learning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MOL-Mamba outperforms state-of-the-art baselines across eight molecular datasets. Visualization experiments also provide insights into what MOL-Mamba has learned. We will release the code after the anonymous review process.
