Pattern Analogies: Learning to Perform Programmatic Image Edits by Analogy
Authors: Aditya Ganeshan; Thibault Groueix; Paul Guerrero; Radomir Mech; Matthew Fisher; Daniel Ritchie
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Pattern images are everywhere in the digital and physical worlds, and tools to edit them are valuable. But editing pattern images is tricky: desired edits are often *programmatic*: structure-aware edits that alter the underlying program which generates the pattern. One could attempt to infer this underlying program, but current methods for doing so struggle with complex images and produce unorganized programs that make editing tedious. In this work, we introduce a novel approach to perform programmatic edits on pattern images. By using a *pattern analogy*&mdash;a pair of simple patterns to demonstrate the intended edit&mdash;and a learning-based generative model to execute these edits, our method allows users to intuitively edit patterns. To enable this paradigm, we introduce **SplitWeave**, a domain-specific language that, combined with a framework for sampling synthetic pattern analogies, enables the creation of a large, high-quality synthetic training dataset. We also present **TriFuser**, a Latent Diffusion Model (LDM) designed to overcome critical issues that arise when naively deploying LDMs to this task. Extensive experiments on real-world, artist-sourced patterns reveals that our method faithfully performs the demonstrated edit while also generalizing to related pattern styles beyond its training distribution.
4D-Fly: Fast 4D Reconstruction from a Single Monocular Video

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: 4D reconstruction from a single monocular video is an important but challenging task due to its inherent under-constrained nature. While most existing 4D reconstruction methods focus on multi-camera settings, they always suffer from limited multi-view information in monocular videos. Recent studies have attempted to mitigate the ill-posed problem by incorporating data-driven priors as additional supervision. However, they require hours of optimization to align the splatted 2D feature maps of explicit Gaussians with various priors, which limits the range of applications. To address the time-consuming issue, we propose 4D-Fly, an efficient and effective framework for reconstructing the 4D scene from a monocular video (hundreds of frames within 6 minutes), more than 20 xfaster and even achieving higher quality than previous optimization methods. Our key insight is to unleash the explicit property of Gaussian primitives and directly apply data priors to them. Specifically, we build a streaming 4D reconstruction paradigm that includes: propagating existing Gaussian to the next timestep with an anchor-based strategy, expanding the 4D scene map with the canonical Gaussian map, and an efficient 4D scene optimization process to further improve visual quality and motion accuracy. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our 4D-Fly over state-of-the-art methods in terms of speed and quality.
STAR-Edge: Structure-aware Local Spherical Curve Representation for Thin-walled Edge Extraction from Unstructured Point Clouds
Authors: Zikuan Li; Honghua Chen; Yuecheng Wang; Sibo Wu; Mingqiang Wei; Jun Wang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Extracting geometric edges from unstructured point clouds remains a significant challenge, particularly in thin-walled structures that are commonly found in everyday objects. Traditional geometric methods and recent learning-based approaches frequently struggle with these structures, as both rely heavily on sufficient contextual information from local point neighborhoods. However, 3D measurement data of thin-walled structures often lack the accurate, dense, and regular neighborhood sampling required for reliable edge extraction, resulting in degraded performance. In this work, we introduce STAR-Edge, a novel approach designed for detecting and refining edge points in thin-walled structures. Our method leverages a unique representation, the local spherical curve, to create structure-aware neighborhoods that emphasize co-planar points while reducing interference from close-by, non-co-planar surfaces. This representation is transformed into a rotation-invariant descriptor, which, combined with a lightweight multi-layer perceptron, enables robust edge point classification even in the presence of noise and sparse or irregular sampling. Besides, we also use the local spherical curve representation to estimate more precise normals and introduce an optimization function to project initially identified edge points exactly on the true edges. Experiments conducted on the ABC dataset and thin-walled structure-specific datasets demonstrate that STAR-Edge outperforms existing edge detection methods, showcasing better robustness under various challenging conditions.

Tokenize Image Patches: Global Context Fusion for Effective Haze Removal in Large Images
Authors: Jiuchen Chen; Xinyu Yan; Qizhi Xu; Kaiqi Li
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Global contextual information and local detail features are essential for haze removal tasks. Deep learning models perform well on small, low-resolution images, but they encounter difficulties with large, high-resolution ones due to GPU memory limitations. As a compromise, they often resort to image slicing or downsampling. The former diminishes global information, while the latter discards high-frequency details. To address these challenges, we propose DehazeXL, a haze removal method that effectively balances global context and local feature extraction, enabling end-to-end modeling of large images on mainstream GPU hardware. Additionally, to evaluate the efficiency of global context utilization in haze removal performance, we design a visual attribution method tailored to the characteristics of haze removal tasks. Finally, recognizing the lack of benchmark datasets for haze removal in large images, we have developed an ultra-high-resolution haze removal dataset (8KDehaze) to support model training and testing. It includes 10000 pairs of clear and hazy remote sensing images, each sized at 8192 x8192 pixels. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DehazeXL can infer images up to 10240 x10240 pixels with only 21 GB of memory, achieving state-of-the-art results among all evaluated methods. The source code and experimental dataset will soon be made publicly available.
Complementary Advantages: Exploiting Cross-Field Frequency Correlation for NIR-Assisted Image Denoising
Authors: Yuchen Wang; Hongyuan Wang; Lizhi Wang; Xin Wang; Lin Zhu; Wanxuan Lu; Hua Huang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Existing single-image denoising algorithms often struggle to restore details when dealing with complex noisy images. The introduction of near-infrared (NIR) images offers new possibilities for RGB image denoising. However, due to the inconsistency between NIR and RGB images, the existing works still struggle to balance the contributions of two fields in the process of image fusion. In response to this, in this paper, we develop a cross-field Frequency Correlation Exploiting Network (FCENet) for NIR-assisted image denoising. We first propose the frequency correlation prior based on an in-depth statistical frequency analysis of NIR-RGB image pairs. The prior reveals the complementary correlation of NIR and RGB images in the frequency domain. Leveraging frequency correlation prior, we then establish a frequency learning framework composed of Frequency Dynamic Selection Mechanism (FDSM) and Frequency Exhaustive Fusion Mechanism (FEFM). FDSM dynamically selects complementary information from NIR and RGB images in the frequency domain, and FEFM strengthens the control of common and differential features during the fusion process of NIR and RGB features. Extensive experiments on simulated and real data validate that the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods. The code will be released at https://github.com/yuchenwang815/FCENet.

Abstract: Despite the unprecedented progress in the field of 3D generation, current systems still often fail to produce high-quality 3D assets that are visually appealing and geometrically and semantically consistent across multiple viewpoints. To effectively assess the quality of the generated 3D data, there is a need for a reliable 3D evaluation tool. Unfortunately, existing 3D evaluation metrics often overlook the geometric quality of generated assets or merely rely on black-box multimodal large language models for coarse assessment. In this paper, we introduce Eval3D, a fine-grained, interpretable evaluation tool that can faithfully evaluate the quality of generated 3D assets based on various distinct yet complementary criteria. Our key observation is that many desired properties of 3D generation, such as semantic and geometric consistency, can be effectively captured by measuring the consistency among various foundation models and tools. We thus leverage a diverse set of models and tools as probes to evaluate the inconsistency of generated 3D assets across different aspects. Compared to prior work, Eval3D provides pixel-wise measurement, enables accurate 3D spatial feedback, and aligns more closely with human judgments. We comprehensively evaluate existing 3D generation models using Eval3D and highlight the limitations and challenges of current models.
Boosting the Dual-Stream Architecture in Ultra-High Resolution Segmentation with Resolution-Biased Uncertainty Estimation
Authors: Rong Qin; Xingyu Liu; Jinglei Shi; Liang Lin; Jufeng Yang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Over the last decade, significant efforts have been dedicated to designing efficient models for the challenge of ultra-high resolution (UHR) semantic segmentation. These models mainly follow the dual-stream architecture and generally fall into three subcategories according to the improvement objectives, i.e., dual-stream ensemble, selective zoom, and complementary learning. However, most of them overly concentrate on crafting complex pipelines to pursue one of the above objectives separately, limiting the model performance in both accuracy and inference consumption. In this paper, we suggest simultaneously achieving these objectives by estimating resolution-biased uncertainties in low resolution stream. Here, the resolution-biased uncertainty refers to the degree of prediction unreliability primarily caused by resolution loss from down-sampling operations. Specifically, we propose a dual-stream UHR segmentation framework, where an estimator is used to assess resolution-biased uncertainties through the entropy map and high-frequency feature residual. The framework also includes a selector, an ensembler, and a complementer to boost the model with obtained estimations. They share the uncertainty estimations as the weights to choose difficult regions as the inputs for UHR stream, perform weighted fusion between distinct streams, and enhance the learning for important pixels, respectively. Experiment results demonstrate that our method achieves a satisfactory balance between accuracy and inference consumption against other state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods.

DiffLO: Semantic-Aware LiDAR Odometry with Diffusion-Based Refinement
Authors: Yongshu Huang; Chen Liu; Minghang Zhu; Sheng Ao; Chenglu Wen; Cheng Wang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: LiDAR odometry is a critical module in autonomous driving systems, responsible for accurate localization by estimating the relative pose transformation between consecutive point cloud frames. However, existing studies frequently encounter challenges with unreliable pose estimation, due to the lack of in-depth understanding of scenario and the presence of noise interference. To address this challenge, we propose DiffLO, a semantic-aware LiDAR odometry network with diffusion-based refinement. To mitigate the impact of challenging cases such as dynamic, repetitive patterns, and low textures, we introduce a semantic distillation method that integrates semantic information into the odometry task. This allows the network to gain a semantic understanding of the scene, enabling it to focus more on the objects that are beneficial for pose estimation. Additionally, to enhance the robustness, we propose a diffusion-based refinement method. This method uses pose-related features as conditional constraints for generative diversity, iteratively refining the pose estimation to achieve greater accuracy. Comparative experiments on the KITTI odometry dataset demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance among existing learning-based approaches. Furthermore, the proposed DiffLO method outperforms the classic A-LOAM on most evaluation sequences.
pFedMxF: Personalized Federated Class-Incremental Learning with Mixture of Frequency Aggregation
Authors: Yifei Zhang; Hao Zhu; Alysa Ziying Tan; Dianzhi Yu; Longtao Huang; Han Yu
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a promising paradigm for privacy-preserving collaborative machine learning. However, extending FL to class incremental learning settings introduces three key challenges: 1) spatial heterogeneity due to non-IID data distributions across clients, 2) temporal heterogeneity due to sequential arrival of tasks, and 3) resource heterogeneity due to diverse client capabilities. Existing approaches generally address these challenges in isolation, potentially leading to interference between updates, catastrophic forgetting, or excessive communication overhead. In this paper, we propose personalized Federated class-incremental parameter efficient fine-tuning with Mixture of Frequency aggregation (pFedMixF), a novel framework that simultaneously addresses all three heterogeneity challenges through frequency domain decomposition. Our key insight is that assigning orthogonal frequency components to different clients and tasks enables interference-free learning to be achieved with minimal communication costs. We further design an Auto-Task Agnostic Classifier that automatically routes samples to task-specific classifiers while adapting to heterogeneous class distributions.We conduct extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets, comparing our approach with eight state-of-the-art methods. The results demonstrate that \methodname   achieves comparable test accuracy while requiring only 25% of the entire model parameters and incurring significantly lower communication costs than baseline methods.

Authors: Jihun Park; Jongmin Gim; Kyoungmin Lee; Seunghun Lee; Sunghoon Im
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We present Text-driven object-centric style editing model named Style-Editor, a novel method that guides style editing at an object-centric level using textual inputs.The core of Style-Editor is our Patch-wise Co-Directional (PCD) loss, meticulously designed for precise object-centric editing that are closely aligned with the input text. This loss combines a patch directional loss for text-guided style direction and a patch distribution consistency loss for even CLIP embedding distribution across object regions. It ensures a seamless and harmonious style editing across object regions.Key to our method are the Text-Matched Patch Selection (TMPS) and Pre-fixed Region Selection (PRS) modules for identifying object locations via text, eliminating the need for segmentation masks. Lastly, we introduce an Adaptive Background Preservation (ABP) loss to maintain the original style and structural essence of the image's background. This loss is applied to dynamically identified background areas.Extensive experiments underline the effectiveness of our approach in creating visually coherent and textually aligned style editing.

Abstract: Self-driving cars relying solely on ego-centric perception face limitations in sensing, often failing to detect occluded, faraway objects. Collaborative autonomous driving (CAV) seems like a promising direction, but collecting data for development is non-trivial. It requires placing multiple sensor-equipped agents in a real-world driving scene, simultaneously! As such, existing datasets are limited in locations and agents. We introduce a novel surrogate to the rescue, which is to generate realistic perception from different viewpoints in a driving scene, conditioned on a real-world sample -- the ego-car's sensory data. This surrogate has huge potential: it could potentially turn any ego-car dataset into a collaborative driving one to scale up the development of CAV. We present the very first solution, using a combination of synthetic collaborative data and real ego-car data. Our method, Transfer Your Perspective (TYP), learns a conditioned diffusion model whose output samples are not only realistic but also consistent in both semantics and layouts with the given ego-car data. Empirical results demonstrate TYP's effectiveness in aiding in a CAV setting. In particular, TYP enables us to (pre-)train collaborative perception algorithms like early and late fusion with little or no real-world collaborative data, greatly facilitating downstream CAV applications.
Efficient Transfer Learning for Video-language Foundation Models

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Pre-trained vision-language models provide a robust foundation for efficient transfer learning across various downstream tasks. In the field of video action recognition, mainstream approaches often introduce additional modules to capture temporal information. Although the additional modules increase the capacity of model, enabling it to better capture video-specific inductive biases, existing methods typically introduce a substantial number of new parameters and are prone to catastrophic forgetting of previously acquired generalizable knowledge. In this paper, we propose a parameter-efficient Multi-modal Spatio-Temporal Adapter (MSTA) to enhance the alignment between textual and visual representations, achieving a balance between generalizable knowledge and task-specific adaptation. Furthermore, to mitigate over-fitting and enhance generalizability, we introduce a spatio-temporal description-guided consistency constraint. This constraint involves providing template inputs (e.g., "a video of \ cls\ ") to the trainable language branch and LLM-generated spatio-temporal descriptions to the pre-trained language branch, enforcing output consistency between the branches. This approach reduces overfitting to downstream tasks and enhances the distinguishability of the trainable branch within the spatio-temporal semantic space. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach across four tasks: zero-shot transfer, few-shot learning, base-to-novel generalization, and fully-supervised learning. Compared to many state-of-the-art methods, our MSTA achieves outstanding performance across all evaluations, while using only 2-7% of the trainable parameters in the original model.
Radio Frequency Ray Tracing with Neural Object Representation for Enhanced RF Modeling
Authors: Xingyu Chen; Zihao Feng; Kun Qian; Xinyu Zhang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) propagation modeling poses unique electromagnetic simulation challenges. While recent neural representations have shown success in visible spectrum rendering, the fundamentally different scales and physics of RF signals require novel modeling paradigms. In this paper, we introduce RFScape, a novel framework that bridges the gap between neural scene representation and RF propagation modeling. Our key insight is that complex RF-object interactions can be captured through object-centric neural representations while preserving the composability of traditional ray tracing. Unlike previous approaches that either rely on crude geometric approximations or require dense spatial sampling of entire scenes, RFScape learns per-object electromagnetic properties and enables flexible scene composition. Through extensive evaluation on real-world RF testbeds, we demonstrate that our approach achieves 13 dB improvement over conventional ray tracing and 5 dB over state-of-the-art neural baselines in modeling accuracy, while requiring only sparse training samples.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Egocentric interaction perception is one of the essential branches in investigating human-environment interaction, which lays the basis for developing next-generation intelligent systems. However, existing egocentric interaction understanding methods cannot yield coherent textual and pixel-level responses simultaneously according to user queries, which lacks flexibility for varying downstream application requirements. To comprehend egocentric interactions exhaustively, this paper presents a novel task named Egocentric Interaction Reasoning and pixel Grounding (Ego-IRG). Taking an egocentric image with the query as input, Ego-IRG is the first task that aims to resolve the interactions through three crucial steps: analyzing, answering, and pixel grounding, which results in fluent textual and fine-grained pixel-level responses. Another challenge is that existing datasets cannot meet the conditions for the Ego-IRG task. To address this limitation, this paper creates the Ego-IRGBench dataset based on extensive manual efforts, which includes over 20k egocentric images with 1.6 million queries and corresponding multimodal responses about interactions. Moreover, we design a unified ANNEXE model to generate text- and pixel-level outputs utilizing multimodal large language models, which enables a comprehensive interpretation of egocentric interactions. The experiments on the Ego-IRGBench exhibit the effectiveness of our ANNEXE model compared with other works.
MET3R: Measuring Multi-View Consistency in Generated Images

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We introduce MEt3R, a metric for multi-view consistency in generated images. Large-scale generative models for multi-view image generation are rapidly advancing the field of 3D inference from sparse observations. However, due to the nature of generative modeling, traditional reconstruction metrics are not suitable to measure the quality of generated outputs and metrics that are independent of the sampling procedure are desperately needed. In this work, we specifically address the aspect of consistency between generated multi-view images, which can be evaluated independently of the specific scene. Our approach uses DUSt3R to obtain dense 3D reconstructions from image pairs in a feed-forward manner, which are used to warp image contents from one view into the other. Then, feature maps of these images are compared to obtain a similarity score that is invariant to view-dependent effects. Using MEt3R, we evaluate the consistency of a large set of previous methods for novel view and video generation, including our open, multi-view latent diffusion model.
