Abstract: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is essential in industrial design, but the complexity of traditional CAD modeling and workflows presents significant challenges for automating the generation of high-precision, editable CAD models. Existing methods, such as 3D reconstruction from sketches, often produce non-editable, approximate models that fall short of meeting the stringent requirements for precision and editability in industrial design. Moreover, the reliance on text or image-based inputs often requires significant manual annotation, limiting their scalability and applicability in industrial settings. To overcome these challenges, we propose the Heterogeneous Collaborative Multi-Expert Reinforcement Learning (CME-CAD) paradigm, a novel training paradigm for CAD code generation. Our approach integrates the complementary strengths of these models, facilitating collaborative learning and improving the model's ability to generate accurate, constraint-compatible, and fully editable CAD models. We introduce a two-stage training process: Multi-Expert Fine-Tuning (MEFT), and Multi-Expert Reinforcement Learning (MERL). Additionally, we present CADExpert, an open-source benchmark consisting of 17,299 instances, including orthographic projections with precise dimension annotations, expert-generated Chain-of-Thought (CoT) processes, executable CADQuery code, and rendered 3D models.

Abstract: We introduce the "single-life" learning paradigm, where we train a distinct vision model exclusively on egocentric videos captured by one individual. We leverage the multiple viewpoints naturally captured within a single life to learn a visual encoder in a self-supervised manner. Our experiments demonstrate three key findings. First, models trained independently on different lives develop a highly aligned geometric understanding. We demonstrate this by training visual encoders on distinct datasets each capturing a different life, both indoors and outdoors, as well as introducing a novel cross-attention-based metric to quantify the functional alignment of the internal representations developed by different models. Second, we show that single-life models learn generalizable geometric representations that effectively transfer to downstream tasks, such as depth estimation, in unseen environments. Third, we demonstrate that training on up to 30 hours from one week of the same person's life leads to comparable performance to training on 30 hours of diverse web data, highlighting the strength of single-life representation learning. Overall, our results establish that the shared structure of the world, both leads to consistency in models trained on individual lives, and provides a powerful signal for visual representation learning.
Quantized Residuals to Continuous Prompts for Few-Shot Class Incremental Learning in Vision-Language Models
Authors: Abhishek Kumar Sinha; Nitant Dube; Soma Biswas
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Few-shot Class-Incremental Learning (FSCIL) requires learning new classes from very limited data while preventing catastrophic forgetting. Existing methods rely mainly on visual features and are prone to overfitting, while recent vision-language models (VLMs) offer better transferability but suppress fine-grained information due to contrastive feature decorrelation. Moreover, current FSCIL approaches often use static or fully optimizable prompts, making them either rigid or susceptible to semantic drift in incremental sessions. We introduce QR-Prompt, a residual-driven framework that leverages the visual-textual feature residual of VLMs to recover discriminative fine-grained cues missing from the contrastive space. To ensure stability, we propose Discriminative Subspace Quantization (DSQ), which builds a discrete memory of residual subspaces. To enable plasticity, a Hierarchical Prompt Encoder (HPE) and Prompt Composer (PC) transform these discrete codes into continuous, class-adaptive prompts for novel classes. We derive bounds relating DSQ codebook size to generalization and classification margin, and achieve consistent improvements over state-of-the-art FSCIL methods on CUB200, CIFAR100, and miniImageNet. Our results show that residual-based quantization combined with hierarchical prompt composition yields stable and expressive VLM adaptation for FSCIL.
EcoSplat: Efficiency-controllable Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting from Multi-view Images
Authors: Jongmin Park; Minh-Quan Viet Bui; Juan Luis Gonzalez; Jaeho Moon; Jihyong Oh; Munchurl Kim
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables efficient one-pass scene reconstruction, providing 3D representations for novel view synthesis without per-scene optimization. However, existing methods typically predict pixel-aligned primitives per-view, producing an excessive number of primitives in dense-view settings and offering no explicit control over the number of predicted Gaussians. To address this, we propose EcoSplat, the first efficiency-controllable feed-forward 3DGS framework that adaptively predicts the 3D representation for any given target primitive count at inference time. EcoSplat adopts a two-stage optimization process. The first stage is Pixel-aligned Gaussian Training (PGT) where our model learns initial primitive prediction. The second stage is Importance-aware Gaussian Finetuning (IGF) stage where our model learns rank primitives and adaptively adjust their parameters based on the target primitive count. Extensive experiments across multiple dense-view settings show that EcoSplat is robust and outperforms state-of-the-art methods under strict primitive-count constraints, making it well-suited for flexible downstream rendering tasks. Code and project page will be released.
UniComp: Rethinking Video Compression Through Informational Uniqueness
Authors: Chao Yuan; Shimin Chen; Minliang Lin; Limeng Qiao; Guanglu Wan; Lin Ma
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Distinct from attention-based compression methods, this paper presents an information uniqueness driven video compression framework, termed UniComp, which aims to maximize the information fidelity of video representations under constrained computational budgets. Starting from the information-theoretic perspective, we formulate the vision compression as an optimization problem that minimizes conditional entropy (reconstruction error) between retained and full tokens. To achieve this, we introduce the notion of information uniqueness to measure intrinsic redundancy among tokens to link with reconstruction error. Based on uniqueness, we design three modules--Frame Group Fusion, Token Allocation, and Spatial Dynamic Compression--that progressively perform semantic frame grouping, adaptive resource allocation, and fine-grained spatial compression. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UniComp consistently outperforms existing compression methods in preserving essential visual tokens under limited computational budgets, highlighting the pivotal role of information uniqueness in token compression efficacy.
AD-GBC: Anisotropic Granular-Ball Skip-Connection Refiner for UNet-Based Medical Image Segmentation
Authors: Xiya Shen; Qinglin Zhao; Li Feng
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Prototype or region-attention modules have recently improved medical image segmentation but still suffer from two fundamental limitations: 1) they represent each semantic concept as a point or isotropic region, failing to capture the inherently anisotropic geometry of real feature distributions; and 2) many rely on non-differentiable clustering or one-way kernel weighting, which restricts their ability to form coherent region-level representations. We address these issues with the Anisotropic Differentiable Granular-Ball (AD-GBC) module, which generalizes prototypes into learnable geometric regions parameterized by a center and an anisotropic vector scale. AD-GBC aggregates local features into region-level semantics and redistributes the refined representation back to pixels in a fully differentiable manner, enabling geometry-aware refinement within modern UNet-style architectures. Two geometric regularizers, a Wasserstein-based diversity loss and a scale consistency loss, mitigate center collapse and encourage stable, well-formed region geometry.AD-GBC yields consistent improvements across four widely used medical segmentation benchmarks (BUSI, GlaS, CVC-ClinicDB, ISIC17) when integrated into two strong backbones (Rolling-UNet and U-KAN), demonstrating that the proposed geometric region formulation generalizes well across different imaging conditions.

White-Balance First, Adjust Later: Cross-Camera Color Constancy via Vision-Language Evaluation
Authors: Shuwei Li; Lei Tan; Robby T. Tan
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Color constancy aims to keep object colors consistent under varying illumination. Cross-camera generalization in color constancy remains challenging because learning-based models often overfit to the color response characteristics of the training camera, resulting in degraded performance on images captured by other cameras. We propose VLM-CC, a feedback-guided framework that formulates color constancy as an iterative refinement process. Instead of directly estimating the illuminant from raw input, VLM-CC performs iterative correction driven by vision-language model (VLM)-based evaluation. At each iteration, the image is white-balanced using the current estimate and converted to pseudo-sRGB. A lightweight LoRA-tuned VLM then assesses the corrected image, identifying the dominant residual color cast and providing qualitative feedback. This feedback is mapped to a residual illumination direction (red, green, or blue) and used to update the illuminant estimate until convergence. Our key idea is to reframe color constancy as an iterative perceptual feedback problem, leveraging VLM evaluation instead of direct RGB regression. By replacing direct RGB estimation with VLM-guided perceptual feedback, VLM-CC achieves state-of-the-art robustness in cross-camera color constancy across multiple datasets.

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Multimodal large reasoning models (MLRMs) often suffer from hallucinations that stem not only from insufficient visual grounding but also from imbalanced allocation between perception and reasoning processes. Building upon recent interpretability findings suggesting a staged division of attention across layers, we analyze how this functional misalignment leads to two complementary failure modes: perceptual bias in shallow layers and reasoning drift in deeper layers. To alleviate these issues, we propose Functional Head Identification and Class-Conditioned Rescaling, a lightweight, training-free plugin that identifies perception- and reasoning-oriented heads and adaptively rebalances their layerwise contributions. Our method improves reasoning consistency and visual faithfulness without retraining or any architectural modification. Evaluations across three representative MLRMs and five multimodal reasoning benchmarks show an average 4.2 percentage-point gain, with less than 1% additional computation and only 9% baseline latency. Beyond empirical improvements, our study provides an interpretable perspective on regulating cross-layer functional dynamics to enhance the reliability of multimodal reasoning.
PanoEnv: Exploring 3D Spatial Intelligence in Panoramic Environments with Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Zekai Lin; Xu Zheng
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: 360deg panoramic images are increasingly used in VR, autonomous driving, and robotics for holistic scene understanding. However, current Vision-Language Models (VLMs) struggle with 3D spatial reasoning on Equirectangular Projection (ERP) images due to geometric distortion and limited 3D supervision. We introduce PanoEnv, a large-scale VQA benchmark built from synthetic 3D environments, containing 14.8K questions across five categories (e.g., relative position, attribute comparison) grounded in accurate 3D annotations--depth, segmentation, and bounding boxes. Benchmarking 14 state-of-the-art VLMs reveals limited 3D understanding, achieving only 49.34% overall and 8.36% on open-ended (OE) questions. To enhance 3D reasoning, we propose a reinforcement learning post-training framework based on Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with a ground-truth-guided reward combining five geometry-aware strategies (e.g., distance tolerance, spatial consistency). A two-stage curriculum further mitigates catastrophic forgetting: Stage 1 trains on structured tasks (T/F, MCQ), and Stage 2 fine-tunes on mixed OE data for generalization. Our 7B model sets a new SoTA performance, improving total accuracy to 52.93% (+3.59%) and OE accuracy to 14.83% while maintaining structured-task performance. It also achieves top semantic scores (Q-Score 6.24, P-Score 5.95), surpassing 32B models. These results demonstrate that PanoEnv-QA and our curriculum-based RL framework effectively instill 3D spatial intelligence in VLMs for omnidirectional perception.
Erasing Thousands of Concepts: Towards Scalable and Practical Concept Erasure for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models
Authors: Hoigi Seo; Byung Hyun Lee; Jaehyun Cho; Sungjin Lim; Se Young Chun
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Large-scale text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models deliver remarkable visual fidelity but pose safety risks due to their capacity to reproduce undesirable content, such as copyrighted ones. Concept erasure has emerged as a mitigation strategy, yet existing approaches struggle to balance scalability, precision, and robustness, which restricts their applicability to erasing only a few hundred concepts. To address these limitations, we present Erasing Thousands of Concepts (ETC), a scalable framework capable of erasing thousands of concepts while preserving generation quality. Our method first models low-rank concept distributions via a Student's t-distribution Mixture Model (tMM). It enables pin-point erasure of target concepts via affine optimal transport while preserving others by anchoring the boundaries of target concept distributions without pre-defined anchor concepts. We then train a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE)-based module, termed MoEraser, which removes target embeddings while preserving the anchor embeddings. By injecting noise into the text embedding projector and fine-tuning MoEraser for recovery, our framework achieves robustness to white-box attack such as module removal. Extensive experiments on over 2,000 concepts across heterogeneous domains and diffusion models demonstrate state-of-the-art scalability and precision in large-scale concept erasure.
TALON: Test-time Adaptive Learning for On-the-Fly Category Discovery
Authors: Yanan Wu; Yuhan Yan; Tailai Chen; Zhixiang Chi; ZiZhang Wu; Yi Jin; Yang Wang; Zhenbo Li
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: On-the-fly category discovery (OCD) aims to recognize known categories while simultaneously discovering novel ones from an unlabeled online stream, using a model trained only on labeled data. Existing approaches freeze the feature extractor trained offline and employ a hash-based framework that quantizes features into binary codes as class prototypes. However, discovering novel categories with a fixed knowledge base is counterintuitive, as the learning potential of incoming data is entirely neglected. In addition, feature quantization introduces information loss, diminishes representational expressiveness, and amplifies intra-class variance. It often results in category explosion, where a single class is fragmented into multiple pseudo-classes. To overcome these limitations, we propose a test-time adaptation framework that enables learning through discovery. It incorporates two complementary strategies: a semantic-aware prototype update and a stable test-time encoder update. The former dynamically refines class prototypes to enhance classification, whereas the latter integrates new information directly into the parameter space. Together, these components allow the model to continuously expand its knowledge base with newly encountered samples. Furthermore, we introduce a margin-aware logit calibration in the offline stage to enlarge inter-class margins and improve intra-class compactness, thereby reserving embedding space for future class discovery. Experiments on standard OCD benchmarks demonstrate that our method substantially outperforms existing hash-based state-of-the-art approaches, yielding notable improvements in novel-class accuracy and effectively mitigating category explosion.

Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are limited by static knowledge and insufficient fine-grained visual analysis, hindering their performance on knowledge-intensive and visually complex tasks. While recent research has explored VLMs that employ external tools like search or cropping to enhance model performance, they typically employ tools in isolation and lack the ability to coordinate multiple tools effectively. To address this gap, we propose SenseSearch, the first agentic VLM for search-reasoning that supports adaptive multi-tool coordination via reinforcement learning (RL). Specifically, SenseSearch dynamically integrates the image search, text search, and image crop tools to tackle fine-grained and knowledge-intensive visual understanding challenges. We first construct a high-quality cold-start dataset to instill basic tool-usage behaviors. In the subsequent RL stage, we introduce Batch-Normalized Group Sequence Policy Optimization (BN-GSPO) algorithm to enhance the tool invocation and reasoning ability. To comprehensively evaluate the agentic VLMs on complex visual tasks, we introduce the HR-MMSearch benchmark, the first search-oriented benchmark composed of high-resolution images with knowledge-intensive and search-driven questions. Experiments demonstrate that SenseSearch achieves state-of-the-art performance on open-source search and fine-grained image understanding benchmarks, outperforming baselines by 19.18% on HR-MMSearch. SenseSearch provides a promising path toward agentic VLMs with effective and robust tool invocation capabilities. All code and data are released at https://github.com/OpenSenseNova/SenseNova-MARS.
REArtGS++: Generalizable Articulation Reconstruction with Temporal Geometry Constraint via Planar Gaussian Splatting

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Articulated objects are pervasive in daily environments, such as drawers and refrigerators. Towards their part-level surface reconstruction and joint parameter estimation, REArtGS [??] introduces a category-agnostic approach using multi-view RGB images at two different states. However, we observe that REArtGS still struggles with screw-joint or multi-part objects and lacks geometric constraints for unseen states. In this paper, we propose REArtGS++, a novel method towards generalizable articulated object reconstruction with temporal geometry constraint and planar Gaussian splatting. We first model a decoupled screw motion for each joint without type prior, and jointly optimize part-aware Gaussians with joint parameters through part motion blending. To introduce time-continuous geometric constraint for articulated modeling, we encourage Gaussians to be planar and propose a temporally consistent regularization between planar normal and depth through Taylor first-order expansion. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world articulated objects demonstrate our superiority in generalizable part-level surface reconstruction and joint parameter estimation, compared to existing approaches.

Quant Experts: Token-aware Adaptive Error Reconstruction with Mixture of Experts for Large Vision-Language Models Quantization

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) has emerged as an effective technique for alleviating the substantial computational and memory overheads of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) by compressing both weights and activations without retraining the full model. Existing PTQ methods primarily rely on static identification and global compensation of sensitive or outlier channels, yet they often overlook the distributional differences of these important channels across inputs, leading to unsatisfactory quantization. In this work, we observe that the distributions and occurrence frequencies of important channels vary significantly both across modalities and among tokens, even within the same modality. Accordingly, we propose Quant Experts (QE), a token-aware adaptive error compensation with mixture-of-experts for VLMs quantization. QE divides the important channels into token-independent and token-dependent groups. For the former, a shared expert is designed for most tokens to compensate for global quantization error using a low-rank adapter. For the latter, routed experts including multiple routed low-rank adapters are elaborated to compensate for local quantization error related to specific tokens. Extensive experiments demonstrate that QE consistently enhances task accuracy across various quantization settings and model scales, ranging from 2B to 70B parameters, while maintaining performance comparable to full-precision models.
