Authors: Bin Pu; Xusheng Liang; Xinpeng Ding; Jinlin Wu; Zhen Lei; Shengli Li; Kenli Li; Jiawei Ma
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Forecasting fetal growth from sequential ultrasound examinations is essential for personalized prenatal care. Existing medical vision-language models (MLLMs) are limited to single-phase/organ evaluations and qualitative reasoning, neglecting longitudinal history and precise continuous biometric values. To address this gap, we introduce the novel task of multi-phase fetal growth forecasting and report generation. To support this task, we first present GrowthFetus, the interesting multi-phase, multi-organ fetal ultrasound dataset to date, containing 9,280 examinations from 2,000 fetuses. Based on this dataset, we propose F^2-Assist, a unified MLLM framework with three key components: (i) a Cross-Phase Organ Alignment module for for heterogeneous multi-organ feature fusion across phases, (ii) a History-Aware Temporal Encoding module for modeling irregular temporal dynamics, and (iii) a Growth Parameter Adapter that encodes continuous biometric values as differentiable tokens for numerically precise reasoning. Extensive experiments show that F^2-Assist achieves temporally coherent predictions and clinically consistent reports, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art MLLMs. Our study establishes a practical framework for longitudinal ultrasound analysis, bridging growth forecasting and report generation in a unified model.
Online3R: Online Learning for Consistent Sequential Reconstruction Based on Geometry Foundation Model
Authors: Shunkai Zhou; Zike Yan; Fei Xue; Dong Wu; Yuchen Deng; Hongbin Zha
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: We present Online3R, a new sequential reconstruction framework that is capable of adapting to new scenes through online learning, effectively resolving inconsistency issues. Specifically, we introduce a set of learnable lightweight visual prompts into a pretrained, frozen geometry foundation model to capture the knowledge of new environments while preserving the fundamental capability of the foundation model for geometry prediction. To solve the problems of missing groundtruth and the requirement of high efficiency when updating these visual prompts at test time, we introduce a local-global self-supervised learning strategy by enforcing the local and global consistency constraints on predictions. The local consistency constraints are conducted on intermediate and previously local fused results, enabling the model to be trained with high-quality pseudo groundtruth signals; the global consistency constraints are operated on sparse keyframes spanning long distances rather than per frame, allowing the model to learn from a consistent prediction over a long trajectory in an efficient way. Our experiments demonstrate that Online3R outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods on various benchmarks. Project page: https://shunkaizhou.github.io/online3r-1.0/

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Text-driven 3D editing, enabled by advancements in 3D reconstruction techniques such as NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting, aims to provide intuitive scene customization. However, existing methods frequently exhibit limitations in controllability and consistency. To address these shortcomings, we propose VDFE, a difference-aware 3D scene editing method based on non-intrusive utilization of pre-trained video diffusion priors, which integrates Optimal Control Guided Flow Editing (FlowOCE), Decoupled Flow Difference (DFD), and Difference-Aware Gaussians Editing (DAGE) modules. Specifically, FlowOCE treats the editing process as an optimal control problem, optimizing a noise-free editing trajectory to minimize unintended modifications in non-target regions and generating results with multi-view consistency and smooth transitions; DFD innovatively achieves more precise localization of editing regions compared to cross-attention mechanisms by analyzing flow differences, which supplies priors for the subsequent optimization process; and DAGE leverages precise localization to selectively update 3D Gaussians for efficient and precise refinement. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing methods in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, achieving state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance.
RigMo: Unifying Rig and Motion Learning for Generative Animation
Authors: Hao Zhang; Jiahao Luo; Bohui Wan; Yizhou Zhao; Zongrui Li; Michael Vasilkovsky; Chaoyang Wang; Jian Wang; Narendra Ahuja; Bing Zhou
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Despite significant progress in 4D generation, rig and motion--the core structural and dynamic components of animation--are typically modeled as separate problems. Existing pipelines rely on ground-truth skeletons and skinning weights for motion generation and treat auto-rigging as an independent process, undermining scalability and interpretability. We present RigMo, a unified generative framework that jointly learns rig and motion directly from raw mesh sequences, without any human-provided rig annotations. RigMo encodes per-vertex deformations into two compact latent spaces: a rig latent that decodes into explicit Gaussian bones and skinning weights, and a motion latent that produces time-varying SE(3) transformations. Together, these outputs define an animatable mesh with explicit structure and coherent motion, enabling feed-forward rig and motion inference for deformable objects. Beyond unified rig-motion discovery, we introduce a Motion-DiT model operating in RigMo's latent space and demonstrate that these structure-aware latents can naturally support downstream motion generation tasks. Experiments on DeformingThings4D, Objaverse-XL, and TrueBones demonstrate that RigMo learns smooth, interpretable, and physically plausible rigs, while achieving superior reconstruction and category-level generalization compared to existing auto-rigging and deformation baselines. RigMo establishes a new paradigm for unified, structure-aware, and scalable dynamic 3D modeling

Authors: Sumit Chaturvedi; Yannick Hold-Geoffroy; Mengwei Ren; Jingyuan Liu; He Zhang; Yiqun Mei; Julie Dorsey; Zhixin Shu
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: This paper presents a method for image relighting that enables precise and continuous control over multiple illumination attributes in a photograph. We formulate relighting as a conditional image generation task and introduce attribute tokens to encode distinct lighting factors such as intensity, color, ambient illumination, diffuse level, and 3D light positions. The model is trained on a large-scale synthetic dataset with ground-truth lighting annotations, supplemented by a small set of real captures to enhance realism and generalization. We validate our approach across a variety of relighting tasks, including controlling in-scene lighting fixtures and editing environment illumination using virtual light sources, on synthetic and real images. Our method achieves state-of-the-art quantitative and qualitative performance compared to prior work. Remarkably, without explicit inverse rendering supervision, the model exhibits an inherent understanding of how light interacts with scene geometry, occlusion, and materials, yielding convincing lighting effects even in traditionally challenging scenarios such as placing lights within objects or relighting transparent materials plausibly.
Linking Modality Isolation in Heterogeneous Collaborative Perception
Authors: Changxing Liu; Zichen Chao; Siheng Chen
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Collaborative perception leverages data exchange among multiple agents to enhance overall perception capabilities. However, heterogeneity across agents introduces domain gaps that hinder collaboration, and this is further exacerbated by an underexplored issue: modality isolation. It arises when multiple agents with different modalities never co-occur in any training data frame, enlarging cross-modal domain gaps. Existing alignment methods rely on supervision from spatially overlapping observations, thus fail to handle modality isolation. To address this challenge, we propose CodeAlign, the first efficient, co-occurrence-free alignment framework that smoothly aligns modalities via cross-modal feature-code-feature(FCF) translation. The key idea is to explicitly identify the representation consistency through codebook, and directly learn mappings between modality-specific feature spaces, thereby eliminating the need for spatial correspondence. Codebooks regularize feature spaces into code spaces, providing compact yet expressive representations. With a prepared code space for each modality, CodeAlign learns FCF translations that map features to the corresponding codes of other modalities, which are then decoded back into features in the target code space, enabling effective alignment. Experiments show that, when integrating three modalities, CodeAlign requires only 8% of the training parameters of prior alignment methods, reduces communication load by 1024x, and achieves state-of-the-art perception performance on both OPV2V and DAIR-V2X dataset. Code will be released.
UltraFlux: Data-Model Co-Design for High-quality Native 4K Text-to-Image Generation across Diverse Aspect Ratios
Authors: Tian Ye; Song Fei; Lei Zhu
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Diffusion transformers have recently delivered strong text-to-image generation around 1K resolution, but we show that extending them to native 4K across diverse aspect ratios exposes a tightly coupled failure mode spanning positional encoding, VAE compression, and optimization. Tackling any of these factors in isolation leaves substantial quality on the table. We therefore take a data--model co-design view and introduce UltraFlux, a Flux-based DiT trained natively at 4K on MultiAspect-4K-1M, a 1M-image 4K corpus with controlled multi-AR coverage, bilingual captions, and rich VLM/IQA metadata for resolution- and AR-aware sampling. On the model side, UltraFlux couples (i) Resonance 2D RoPE with YaRN for training-window-, frequency-, and AR-aware positional encoding at 4K; (ii) a simple, non-adversarial VAE post-training scheme that improves 4K reconstruction fidelity; (iii) an SNR-Aware Huber Wavelet objective that rebalances gradients across timesteps and frequency bands; and (iv) a Stage-wise Aesthetic Curriculum Learning strategy that concentrates high-aesthetic supervision on high-noise steps governed by the model prior. Together, these components yield a stable, detail-preserving 4K DiT that generalizes across wide, square, and tall ARs. On the Aesthetic-Eval@4096 benchmark and multi-AR 4K settings, UltraFlux consistently outperforms strong open-source baselines across fidelity, aesthetic, and alignment metrics, and--with a LLM prompt refiner--matches or surpasses the proprietary Seedream 4.0.
InverFill: One-Step Inversion for Enhanced Few-Step Diffusion Inpainting
Authors: Duc Vu; Kien Nguyen; Trong-Tung Nguyen; Ngan Nguyen; Phong Nguyen; Khoi Nguyen; Cuong Pham; Anh Tran
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Recent diffusion-based models achieve photorealism in image inpainting but require many sampling steps, limiting practical use. Few-step text-to-image models offer faster generation, but naively applying them to inpainting yields poor harmonization and artifacts between the background and inpainted region. We trace this cause to random Gaussian noise initialization, which under low function evaluations causes semantic misalignment and reduced fidelity. To overcome this, we propose InverFill, a one-step inversion method tailored for inpainting that injects semantic information from the input masked image into the initial noise, enabling high-fidelity few-step inpainting. Instead of training inpainting models, InverFill leverages few-step text-to-image models in a blended sampling pipeline with semantically aligned noise as input, significantly improving vanilla blended sampling and even matching specialized inpainting models at low NFEs. Moreover, InverFill does not require real-image supervision and only adds minimal inference overhead. Extensive experiments show that InverFill consistently boosts baseline few-step models, improving image quality and text coherence without costly retraining or heavy iterative optimization.
Expand and Prune: Maximizing Trajectory Diversity for Effective GRPO in Generative Models
Authors: Shiran Ge; Chenyi Huang; Yuang Ai; Qihang Fan; Huaibo Huang; Ran He
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is a powerful technique for aligning generative models, but its effectiveness is bottlenecked by the conflict between large group sizes and prohibitive computational costs. In this work, we investigate the trade-off through empirical studies, yielding two key observations. First, we discover the reward clustering phenomenon in which many trajectories collapse toward the group-mean reward, offering limited optimization value. Second, we design a heuristic strategy named Optimal Variance Filtering (OVF), and verify that a high-variance subset of trajectories selected by OVF can outperform the larger, unfiltered group. However, this static, post-sampling OVF approach still necessitates critical computational overhead, as it performs unnecessary sampling for trajectories that are ultimately discarded. To resolve this, we propose Pro-GRPO (Proactive GRPO), a novel dynamic framework that integrates latent feature-based trajectory pruning into the sampling process. Through the early termination of reward-clustered trajectories, Pro-GRPO reduces computational overhead. Leveraging its efficiency, Pro-GRPO employs an "Expand-and-Prune" strategy. This strategy first expands the size of initial sampling group to maximize trajectory diversity, then it applies multi-step OVF to the latents, avoiding prohibitive computational costs. Extensive experiments on both diffusion-based and flow-based models demonstrate the generality and effectiveness of our Pro-GRPO framework.
Disentangled Textual Priors for Diffusion-based Image Super-Resolution
Authors: Lei Jiang; Xin Liu; Xinze Tong; Zhiliang Li; Jie Liu; Jie Tang; Gangshan Wu
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Image Super-Resolution (SR) aims to reconstruct high-resolution images from degraded low-resolution inputs. While diffusion-based SR methods offer powerful generative capabilities, their performance heavily depends on how semantic priors are structured and integrated into the generation process. Existing approaches often rely on entangled or coarse-grained priors that mix global layout with local details, or conflate structural and textural cues, thereby limiting semantic controllability and interpretability. In this work, we propose DTPSR, a novel diffusion-based SR framework that introduces disentangled textual priors along two complementary dimensions: spatial hierarchy (global vs. local) and frequency semantics (low- vs. high-frequency). By explicitly separating these priors, DTPSR enables the model to simultaneously capture scene-level structure and object-specific details with frequency-aware semantic guidance. The corresponding embeddings are injected via specialized cross-attention modules, forming a progressive generation pipeline that reflects the semantic granularity of visual content--from global layout to fine-grained textures. To support this paradigm, we construct DisText-SR, a large-scale dataset containing approximately 95,000 image-text pairs with carefully disentangled global, low-frequency, and high-frequency descriptions. To further enhance controllability and consistency, we adopt a multi-branch classifier-free guidance strategy with frequency-aware negative prompts to suppress hallucinations and semantic drift. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world benchmarks show that DTPSR achieves high perceptual quality, competitive fidelity, and strong generalization across diverse degradation scenarios.
NG-GS: NeRF-guided 3D Gaussian Splatting Segmentation

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled highly efficient and photorealistic novel view synthesis. However, segmenting objects accurately in 3DGS remains challenging due to the discrete nature of Gaussian representations, which often leads to aliasing and artifacts at object boundaries. In this paper, we introduce NG-GS, a novel framework for high-quality object segmentation in 3DGS that explicitly addresses boundary discretization. Our approach begins by automatically identifying ambiguous Gaussians at object boundaries using mask variance analysis. We then apply radial basis function (RBF) interpolation to construct a spatially continuous feature field, enhanced by multi-resolution hash encoding for efficient multi-scale representation. A joint optimization strategy aligns 3DGS with a lightweight NeRF module through alignment and spatial continuity losses, ensuring smooth and consistent segmentation boundaries. Extensive experiments on NVOS and LERF-OVS benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, with significant gains in boundary mIoU.
HandWorld: Hand-Centric Unified Video Action Generation
Authors: Zhihao Sun; Zhiying Du; Xitong Yang; Zuxuan Wu
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Hand-object interaction forms the foundation of how humans interact with the world. Understanding the connection between hand action and egocentric video is essential for enabling embodied agents to perceive, simulate, and plan like humans. However, it is challenging to learn and predict across hand actions and egocentric videos due to their non-linear relationship. In this work, we introduce HandWorld, a unified generative framework that focuses on hand-object interaction and jointly models egocentric videos and hand actions. HandWorld learns shared cross-domain conditions through a dual-branch condition network that integrates information from both video and action domains. MANO-rendered hand representation is incorporated as an intermediate input to further enhance cross-domain coherence. Conditioned on the shared representation, two decoupled diffusion transformers are trained to predict in their respective domain. A flexible training strategy enables the model to learn across diverse task configurations, including action forecasting and controllable video generation. Experiments on large-scale egocentric HOI datasets demonstrate that HandWorld achieves high-fidelity video synthesis and accurate action prediction, outperforming existing baselines across diverse scenarios.
Training-Only Heterogeneous Image-Patch-Text Graph Supervision for Advancing Few-Shot Learning Adapters
Authors: Mohammed Rahman Sherif Khan Mohammad; Ardhendu Behera; Sandip Pradhan; Swagat Kumar; Amr Ahmed
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Recent adapter-based CLIP tuning (e.g., Tip-Adapter) is a strong few-shot learner, achieving efficiency by caching support features for fast prototype matching. However, these methods rely on global uni-modal feature vectors, overlooking fine-grained patch relations and their structural alignment with class text. To bridge this gap without incurring inference costs, we introduce a novel asymmetric training-only framework. Instead of altering the lightweight adapter, we construct a high-capacity auxiliary Heterogeneous Graph Teacher that operates solely during training. This teacher (i) integrates multi-scale visual patches and text prompts into a unified graph, (ii) performs deep cross-modal reasoning via a Modality-aware Graph Transformer (MGT), and (iii) applies discriminative node filtering to extract high-fidelity class features. Crucially, we employ a cache-aware dual-objective strategy to supervise this relational knowledge directly into the Tip-Adapter's key-value cache, effectively upgrading the prototypes while the graph teacher is discarded at test time. Thus, inference remains identical to Tip-Adapter with zero extra latency or memory. Across standard 1-16-shot benchmarks, our method consistently establishes a new state-of-the-art. Ablations confirm that the auxiliary graph supervision, text-guided reasoning, and node filtering are the essential ingredients for robust few-shot adaptation.

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Skeleton generation is essential for animating 3D assets, but current deep learning methods remain limited: they cannot handle the growing structural complexity of modern models and offer minimal controllability, creating a major bottleneck for real-world animation workflows. To address this, we propose an animator-centric SG framework that achieves high-quality skeleton prediction on complex inputs while providing intuitive control handles. Our contributions are threefold. First, we curate a large-scale dataset of 82,633 rigged meshes with diverse and complicated structures. Second, we introduce a novel semantic-aware tokenization scheme for auto-regressive modeling. This scheme effectively complements purely geometric prior methods by subdividing bones into semantically meaningful groups, thereby enhancing robustness to structural complexity and enabling a key control mechanism. Third, we design a learnable density interval module that allows animators to exert soft, direct control over bone density. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework not only generates high-quality skeletons for challenging inputs but also successfully fulfills two critical requirements from professional animators. Our work paves the way for more flexible and efficient animation pipelines.
ROSE: Rotate Your Large Language Model to See

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown impressive progress in integrating visual and linguistic understanding. However, most existing MLLMs inject visual information into the input space of large language models (LLMs), which substantially increases context length and computational overhead, while often disrupting pretrained linguistic priors by forcing the LLM to optimize on vision-dominant multimodal sequences. In this work, we propose a rotation-based vision injection paradigm that aligns visual information with the parameter space of LLMs. Visual semantics are encoded as rotation matrices and applied directly to the pretrained parameters. This parameter-space injection eliminates the need for long input sequences, thus avoiding the quadratic computational overhead inherent in input-space injection. Besides, it preserves the linguistic competence of the LLM by maintaining the intrinsic geometric structure of the pretrained parameters. Building upon this paradigm, we develop ROSE, a 7B MLLM that achieves fine-grained vision-language alignment with remarkable computational efficiency. Extensive experiments across 12 multimodal benchmarks show that ROSE delivers superior or competitive performance compared with leading models.At comparable accuracy, ROSE reduces FLOPs by 80.7% and inference latency by 56.4% relative to Qwen2.5-VL-7B, demonstrating the effectiveness and scalability. The code and model weights will be publicly released.
