PlanarSplatting: Accurate Planar Surface Reconstruction in 3 Minutes
Authors: Bin Tan; Rui Yu; Yujun Shen; Nan Xue
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: This paper presents PlanarSplatting, an ultra-fast and accurate surface reconstruction approach for multi-view indoor images. We take the 3D planes as the main objective due to their compactness and structural expressiveness in indoor scenes, and develop an explicit optimization framework that learns to fit the expected surface of indoor scenes by splatting the 3D planes into 2.5D depth and normal maps. As our PlanarSplatting operates directly on the 3D plane primitives, it eliminates the dependencies on 2D/3D plane detection and plane matching/tracking for planar surface reconstruction. Furthermore, with the essential merits of plane-based representation coupled with CUDA-based implementation of planar splatting functions, PlanarSplatting reconstructs an indoor scene in 3 minutes while having significantly better geometric accuracy. Thanks to our ultra-fast reconstruction speed, the largest quantitative evaluation on the ScanNet and ScanNet++ datasets over hundreds of scenes clearly demonstrated the advantages of our method. We believe that our accurate and ultrafast planar surface reconstruction method will be applied in the structured data curation for surface reconstruction in the future. The code of our CUDA implementation will be publicly available.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We introduce Omni-ID, a novel facial representation designed specifically for generative tasks. Omni-ID encodes holistic information about an individual's appearance across diverse expressions and poses within a fixed-size representation. It consolidates information from a varied number of unstructured input images into a structured representation, where each entry represents certain global or local identity features. Our approach uses a few-to-many identity reconstruction training paradigm, where a limited set of input images is used to reconstruct multiple target images of the same individual in various poses and expressions. A multi-decoder framework is introduced to leverage the complementary strengths of diverse decoders during training. Unlike conventional representations, such as ArcFace and CLIP, which are typically learned through discriminative or contrastive objectives, Omni-ID is optimized with a generative objective, resulting in a more comprehensive and nuanced identity capture for generative tasks. Trained on our MFHQ dataset -- a multi-view facial image collection, Omni-ID demonstrates substantial improvements over conventional representations across various generative tasks.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Operating rooms (ORs) are complex, high-stakes environments requiring precise understanding of interactions among medical staff, tools, and equipment for enhancing surgical assistance, situational awareness, and patient safety. Current datasets fall short in scale, realism and do not capture the multimodal nature of OR scenes, limiting progress in OR modeling. To this end, we introduce MM-OR, a realistic and large-scale multimodal spatiotemporal OR dataset, and the first dataset to enable multimodal scene graph generation. MM-OR captures comprehensive OR scenes containing RGB-D data, detail views, audio, speech transcripts, robotic logs, and tracking data and is annotated with panoptic segmentations, semantic scene graphs, and downstream task labels. Further, we propose MM2SG, the first multimodal large vision-language model for scene graph generation, and through extensive experiments, demonstrate its ability to effectively leverage multimodal inputs. Together, MM-OR and MM2SG establish a new benchmark for holistic OR understanding, and open the path towards multimodal scene analysis in complex, high-stakes environments. We will publish all our code and dataset upon acceptance.
MIRE: Matched Implicit Neural Representations
Authors: Dhananjaya Jayasundara; Heng Zhao; Demetrio Labate; Vishal M. Patel
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) are continuous function learners for conventional digital signal representations. With the aid of positional embeddings and/or exhaustively fine-tuned activation functions, INRs have surpassed many limitations of traditional discrete representations. However, existing works only find a continuous representation for the digital signal by solely using a single, fixed activation function throughout the INR, and it has not yet been explored to match the INR to the given signal. As current INRs are not matched to the signal being represented by the INR, we hypothesize that this approach could restrict the representation power and generalization capabilities of INRs, limiting their broader applicability. A way to match the INR to the signal being represented is through matching the activation of each layer in the sense of minimizing the mean squared loss. In this paper, we introduce MIRE, a method to find the highly matched activation function for each layer in INR through dictionary learning. To showcase the effectiveness of the proposed method, we utilize a dictionary that includes seven activation atoms: Raised Cosines (RC), Root Raised Cosines (RRC), Prolate Spheroidal Wave Function (PSWF), Sinc, Gabor Wavelet, Gaussian, and Sinusoidal. Experimental results demonstrate that MIRE not only significantly improves INR performance across various tasks, such as image representation, image inpainting, 3D shape representation, novel view synthesis, super-resolution, and reliable edge detection, but also eliminates the need for the previously required exhaustive search for activation parameters, which had to be conducted even before INR training could begin.
AeSPa : Attention-guided Self-supervised Parallel Imaging for MRI Reconstruction
Authors: Jinho Joo; Hyeseong Kim; Hyeyeon Won; Deukhee Lee; Taejoon Eo; Dosik Hwang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: This study introduces a novel zero-shot scan-specific self-supervised reconstruction method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to reduce scan times. Conventional supervised reconstruction methods require large amounts of fully-sampled reference data, which is often impractical to obtain and can lead to artifacts by overly emphasizing learned patterns. Existing zero-shot scan-specific methods have attempted to overcome this data dependency but show limited performance due to insufficient utilization of k-space information and constraints derived from MRI forward model. To address these limitations, we introduce a framework utilizing all acquired k-space measurements for both network inputs and training targets. While this framework suffers from training instability, we resolve these challenges through three key components: an Attention-guided K-space Selective Mechanism (AKSM) that provides indirect constraints for non-sampled k-space points, Iteration-wise K-space Masking (IKM) that enhances training stability, and a robust sensitivity map estimation model utilizing cross-channel constraint that performs effectively even at high reduction factors. Experimental results on the FastMRI knee and brain datasets with reduction factors of 4 and 8 demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior reconstruction quality and faster convergence compared to existing zero-shot scan-specific methods, making it suitable for practical clinical applications. The implementation of our proposed method is publicly available at https://github.com/joojinho97/AeSPa.git.
Boltzmann Attention Sampling for Image Analysis with Small Objects
Authors: Theodore Zhao; Sid Kiblawi; Naoto Usuyama; Ho Hin Lee; Sam Preston; Hoifung Poon; Mu Wei
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Detecting and segmenting small objects, such as lung nodules and tumor lesions, remains a critical challenge in image analysis. These objects often occupy less than 0.1% of an image, making traditional transformer architectures inefficient and prone to performance degradation due to redundant attention computations on irrelevant regions. Existing sparse attention mechanisms rely on rigid hierarchical structures, which are poorly suited for detecting small, variable, and uncertain object locations. In this paper, we propose BoltzFormer, a novel transformer-based architecture designed to address these challenges through dynamic sparse attention. BoltzFormer identifies and focuses attention on relevant areas by modeling uncertainty using a Boltzmann distribution with an annealing schedule. Initially, a higher temperature allows broader area sampling in early layers, when object location uncertainty is greatest. As the temperature decreases in later layers, attention becomes more focused, enhancing efficiency and accuracy. BoltzFormer seamlessly integrates into existing transformer architectures via a modular Boltzmann attention sampling mechanism. Comprehensive evaluations on benchmark datasets demonstrate that BoltzFormer significantly improves segmentation performance for small objects while reducing attention computation by an order of magnitude compared to previous state-of-the-art methods.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Recent 3D content generation pipelines commonly employ Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) to encode shapes into compact latent representations for diffusion-based generation. However, the widely adopted uniform point sampling strategy in Shape VAE training often leads to a significant loss of geometric details,  limiting the quality of shape reconstruction and downstream generation tasks. We present Dora-VAE, a novel approach that enhances VAE reconstruction through our proposed sharp edge sampling strategy and a dual cross-attention mechanism. By identifying and prioritizing regions with high geometric complexity during training, our method significantly improves the preservation of fine-grained shape features. Such sampling strategy and the dual attention mechanism enable the VAE to focus on crucial geometric details that are typically missed by uniform sampling approaches. To systematically evaluate VAE reconstruction quality, we additionally propose Dora-bench, a benchmark that quantifies shape complexity through the density of sharp edges, introducing a new metric focused on reconstruction accuracy at these salient geometric features. Extensive experiments on the Dora-bench demonstrate that Dora-VAE achieves comparable reconstruction quality to the state-of-the-art dense XCube-VAE while requiring a latent space at least 8xsmaller (1,280 vs. > 10,000 codes).

Generalized Recorrupted-to-Recorrupted: Self-Supervised Learning Beyond Gaussian Noise
Authors: Brayan Monroy; Jorge Bacca; Julián Tachella
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Recorrupted-to-Recorrupted (R2R) has emerged as a methodology for training deep networks for image restoration in a self-supervised manner from noisy measurement data alone, demonstrating equivalence in expectation to the supervised squared loss in the case of Gaussian noise. However, its effectiveness with non-Gaussian noise remains unexplored. In this paper, we propose Generalized R2R (GR2R), extending the R2R framework to handle a broader class of noise distribution as additive noise like log-Rayleigh and address the natural exponential family including Poisson, Gamma and Binomial noise distributions, which play a key role in many applications including low-photon imaging and synthetic aperture radar. We show that the GR2R loss is an unbiased estimator of the supervised loss and that the popular Stein's unbiased risk estimator can be seen as a special case. A series of experiments with Gaussian, Poisson, and Gamma noise validate GR2R's performance, showing its effectiveness compared to other self-supervised methods.
Once-Tuning-Multiple-Variants: Tuning Once and Expanded as Multiple Vision-Language Model Variants
Authors: Chong Yu; Tao Chen; Zhongxue Gan
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Vision-language model (VLM) is one of the most important models for multi-modal tasks. Real industrial applications often meet the challenge of adapting VLMs to different scenarios, such as varying hardware platforms or performance requirements. Traditional methods involve training or fine-tuning to adapt multiple unique VLMs or using model compression techniques to create multiple compact models. These approaches are complex and resource-intensive. This paper introduces a novel paradigm called Once-Tuning-Multiple-Variants (OTMV). OTMV requires only a single tuning process to inject dynamic weight expansion capacity into the VLM with dynamic expansion capacity. This tuned VLM can then be expanded into multiple variants tailored for different scenarios in inference. The tuning mechanism of OTMV is inspired by the mathematical series expansion theorem, which helps to reduce the parameter size and memory requirements while maintaining accuracy for VLM. Experiment results show that OTMV-tuned models achieve comparable accuracy to baseline VLMs across various visual-language tasks. The experiments also demonstrate the dynamic expansion capability of OTMV-tuned VLMs, outperforming traditional model compression and adaptation techniques in terms of accuracy and efficiency.
Dynamic Motion Blending for Versatile Motion Editing

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Text-guided motion editing enables high-level semantic control and iterative modifications beyond traditional keyframe animation. Existing methods rely on limited pre-collected training triplets (original motion, edited motion, and instruction), which severely hinders their versatility in diverse editing scenarios. We introduce MotionCutMix, an online data augmentation technique that dynamically generates training triplets by blending body part motions based on input text. While MotionCutMix effectively expands the training distribution, the compositional nature introduces increased randomness and potential body part incoordination. To model such a rich distribution, we present MotionReFit, an auto-regressive diffusion model with a motion coordinator. The auto-regressive architecture facilitates learning by decomposing long sequences, while the motion coordinator mitigates the artifacts of motion composition. Our method handles both spatial and temporal motion edits directly from high-level human instructions, without relying on additional specifications or LLM. Through extensive experiments, we show that MotionReFit achieves state-of-the-art performance in text-guided motion editing. Ablation studies further verify that MotionCutMix significantly improves the model's generalizability while maintaining training convergence.
StdGEN: Semantic-Decomposed 3D Character Generation from Single Images
Authors: Yuze He; Yanning Zhou; Wang Zhao; Zhongkai Wu; Kaiwen Xiao; Wei Yang; Yong-Jin Liu; Xiao Han
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We present StdGEN, an innovative pipeline for generating semantically decomposed high-quality 3D characters from single images, enabling broad applications in virtual reality, gaming, and filmmaking, etc. Unlike previous methods which struggle with limited decomposability, unsatisfactory quality, and long optimization times, StdGEN features decomposability, effectiveness and efficiency; i.e., it generates intricately detailed 3D characters with separated semantic components such as the body, clothes, and hair, in three minutes. At the core of StdGEN is our proposed Semantic-aware Large Reconstruction Model (S-LRM), a transformer-based generalizable model that jointly reconstructs geometry, color and semantics from multi-view images in a feed-forward manner. A differentiable multi-layer semantic surface extraction scheme is introduced to acquire meshes from hybrid implicit fields reconstructed by our S-LRM. Additionally, a specialized efficient multi-view diffusion model and an iterative multi-layer surface refinement module are integrated into the pipeline to facilitate high-quality, decomposable 3D character generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate our state-of-the-art performance in 3D anime character generation, surpassing existing baselines by a significant margin in geometry, texture and decomposability. StdGEN offers ready-to-use semantic-decomposed 3D characters and enables flexible customization for a wide range of applications. Project page: https://stdgen.github.io
Reconstructing Animals and the Wild
Authors: Peter Kulits; Michael J. Black; Silvia Zuffi
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: The notion of 3D reconstruction as scene understanding is foundational in computer vision. Reconstructing 3D scenes from 2D visual observations necessitates strong priors to disambiguate structure. Much work has been focused on the anthropocentric, which, characterized by smooth surfaces, coherent normals, and regular edges, allows for the integration of strong geometric inductive biases. Here, we consider a more challenging problem where such assumptions do not hold: the reconstruction of natural scenes containing trees, bushes, boulders, and animals. While numerous works have attempted to tackle the problem of reconstructing animals in the wild, they have focused solely on the animal, neglecting environmental context. This limits their usefulness for analysis tasks, as animals exist inherently within the 3D world, and information is lost when environmental factors are disregarded. We propose a method to reconstruct natural scenes from single images. We base our approach on recent advances leveraging the strong world priors ingrained in Large Language Models and train an autoregressive model to decode a CLIP embedding into a structured, compositional scene representation, encompassing both animals and the wild. To enable this, we propose a synthetic dataset comprising one million images and thousands of assets. Through our introduction of a CLIP-projection head, we demonstrate that our approach generalizes to the task of reconstructing animals and their environments in real-world images, despite having been trained solely on synthetic data. We release our dataset and code to encourage future research at https://raw.is.tue.mpg.de/
RobSense: A Robust Multi-modal Foundation Model for Remote Sensing with Static, Temporal, and Incomplete Data Adaptability
Authors: Minh Kha Do; Kang Han; Phu Lai; Khoa T. Phan; Wei Xiang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Foundation models for remote sensing have garnered increasing attention for their strong performance across various observation tasks. However, current models lack robustness in managing diverse input types and handling incomplete data in downstream tasks. In this paper, we propose RobSense, a robust multi-modal foundation model for Multi-spectral and Synthetic Aperture Radar data. RobSense is designed with modular components and pre-trained by a combination of temporal multi-modal alignment and masked autoencoder strategies on a huge-scale dataset. Therefore, it can effectively support diverse input types, from static to temporal, uni-modal to multi-modal. To further handle the incomplete data, we incorporate two uni-modal latent reconstructors that recover rich representations from incomplete inputs, addressing variability in spectral bands and temporal sequence irregularities. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RobSense consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on complete datasets across four input types for segmentation, classification, and change detection. On incomplete datasets, RobSense outperforms the baselines by considerably larger margins when the missing rate increases. Project page: https://ikhado.github.io/robsense/
Spatiotemporal Decoupling for Efficient Vision-Based Occupancy Forecasting
Authors: Jingyi Xu; Xieyuanli Chen; Junyi Ma; Jiawei Huang; Jintao Xu; Yue Wang; Ling Pei
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: The task of occupancy forecasting (OCF) involves utilizing past and present perception data to predict future occupancy states of autonomous vehicle surrounding environments, which is critical for downstream tasks such as obstacle avoidance and path planning. Existing 3D OCF approaches struggle to predict plausible spatial details for movable objects and suffer from slow inference speeds due to neglecting the bias and uneven distribution of changing occupancy states in both space and time. In this paper, we propose a novel spatiotemporal decoupling vision-based paradigm to explicitly tackle the bias and achieve both effective and efficient 3D OCF. To tackle spatial bias in empty areas, we introduce a novel spatial representation that decouples the conventional dense 3D format into 2D bird's-eye view (BEV) occupancy with corresponding height values, enabling 3D OCF derived only from 2D predictions thus enhancing efficiency. To reduce temporal bias on static voxels, we design temporal decoupling to improve end-to-end OCF by temporally associating instances via predicted flows. We develop an efficient multi-head network EfficientOCF to achieve 3D OCF with our devised spatiotemporally decoupled representation. A new metric, conditional IoU (C-IoU), is also introduced to provide a robust 3D OCF performance assessment, especially in datasets with missing or incomplete annotations. The experimental results demonstrate that EfficientOCF surpasses existing baseline methods on accuracy and efficiency, achieving state-of-the-art performance with a fast inference time of 82.33ms with a single GPU. Our code is released at: https://github.com/BIT-XJY/EfficientOCF.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Recently, the diffusion model has emerged as a powerful generative technique for robotic policy learning, capable of modeling multi-mode action distributions. Leveraging its capability for end-to-end autonomous driving is a promising direction. However, the numerous denoising steps in the robotic diffusion policy and the more dynamic, open-world nature of traffic scenes pose substantial challenges for generating diverse driving actions at a real-time speed. To address these challenges, we propose a novel truncated diffusion policy that incorporates prior multi-mode anchors and truncates the diffusion schedule, enabling the model to learn denoising from anchored Gaussian distribution to the multi-mode driving action distribution. Additionally, we design an efficient cascade diffusion decoder for enhanced interaction with conditional scene context. The proposed model, DiffusionDrive, demonstrates 10x reduction in denoising steps compared to vanilla diffusion policy, delivering superior diversity and quality in just 2 steps. On the planning-oriented NAVSIM dataset, with the aligned ResNet-34 backbone, DiffusionDrive achieves 88.1 PDMS without bells and whistles, setting a new record, while running at a real-time speed of 45 FPS on an NVIDIA 4090. Qualitative results on challenging scenarios further confirm that DiffusionDrive can robustly generate diverse plausible driving actions.
