Abstract: This paper introduces TexGarment, an efficient method for synthesizing high-quality, 3D-consistent garment textures in UV space. Traditional approaches based on 2D-to-3D mapping often suffer from 3D inconsistency, while methods learning from limited 3D data lack sufficient texture diversity. These limitations are particularly problematic in garment texture generation, where high demands exist for both detail and variety. To address these challenges, TexGarment leverages a pre-trained text-to-image diffusion Transformer model with robust generalization capabilities, introducing structural information to guide the model in generating 3D-consistent garment textures in a single inference step. Specifically, We utilize the 2D UV position map to guide the layout during the UV texture generation process, ensuring a coherent texture arrangement and enhancing it by integrating global 3D structural information from the mesh surface point cloud. This combined guidance effectively aligns 3D structural integrity with 2D layout. Our method efficiently generates high-quality, diverse UV textures in a single inference step while maintaining 3D consistency. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of TexGarment, achieving state-of-the-art performance in 3D garment texture generation.
A Hubness Perspective on Representation Learning for Graph-Based Multi-View Clustering
Authors: Zheming Xu; He Liu; Congyan Lang; Tao Wang; Yidong Li; Michael C. Kampffmeyer
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Recent graph-based multi-view clustering (GMVC) methods typically encode view features into high-dimensional spaces and construct graphs based on distance similarity. However, the high dimensionality of the embeddings often leads to the hubness problem, where a few points repeatedly appear in the nearest neighbor lists of other points. We show that this negatively impacts the extracted graph structures and message passing, thus degrading clustering performance. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to highlight the detrimental effect of hubness in GMVC methods and introduce the hubREP (hub-aware Representation Embedding and Pairing) framework. Specifically, we propose a simple yet effective encoder that reduces hubness while preserving neighborhood topology within each view. Additionally, we propose a hub-aware pairing module to maintain structure consistency across views, efficiently enhancing the view-specific representations. The proposed hubREP is lightweight compared to the conventional autoencoders used in state-of-the-art GMVC methods and can be integrated into existing GMVC methods that mostly focus on novel fusion mechanisms, further boosting their performance. Comprehensive experiments performed on eight benchmarks confirm the superiority of our method. The code is available at https://github.com/zmxu196/hubREP.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Despite the significant success of imitation learning in robotic manipulation, its application to bimanual tasks remains highly challenging. Existing approaches mainly learn a policy to predict a distant next-best end-effector pose (NBP) and then compute the corresponding joint rotation angles for motion using inverse kinematics. However, they suffer from two important issues: (1) rarely considering the physical robotic structure , which may cause self-collisions or interferences, and (2) overlooking the kinematics constraint , which may result in the predicted poses not conforming to the actual limitations of the robot joints. In this paper, we propose Kinematics enhanced Spatial-TemporAl gRaph Diffuser (KStar Diffuser). Specifically, (1)to incorporate the physical robot structure information into action prediction, KStar Diffuser maintains a dynamic spatial-temporal graph according to the physical bimanual joint motions at continuous timesteps. This dynamic graph serves as the robot-structure condition for denoising the actions; (2) to make the NBP learning objective consistent with kinematics, we introduce the differentiable kinematics to provide the reference for optimizing KStar Diffuser. This module regularizes the policy to predict more reliable and kinematics-aware next end-effector poses. Experimental results show that our method effectively leverages the physical structural information and generates kinematics-aware actions in both simulation and real-world.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Significant progress has been made in video restoration under rainy conditions over the past decade, largely propelled by advancements in deep learning. Nevertheless, existing methods that depend on paired data struggle to generalize effectively to real-world scenarios, primarily due to the disparity between synthetic and authentic rain effects. To address these limitations, we propose a dual-branch spatio-temporal state-space model to enhance rain streak removal in video sequences. Specifically, we design spatial and temporal state-space model layers to extract spatial features and incorporate temporal dependencies across frames, respectively. To improve multi-frame feature fusion, we derive a dynamic stacking filter, which adaptively approximates statistical filters for superior pixel-wise feature refinement. Moreover, we integrate a median stacking loss to enable semi-supervised learning by generating pseudo-clean patches based on the sparsity prior of rain. To further explore the capacity of deraining models in supporting other vision-based tasks in rainy environments, we introduce a novel real-world benchmark focused on object detection and tracking in rainy conditions. Our method is extensively evaluated across multiple benchmarks containing numerous synthetic and real-world rainy videos, consistently demonstrating its superiority in quantitative metrics, visual quality, efficiency, and its utility for downstream tasks.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Deepfake detection is a long-established research topic vital for mitigating the spread of malicious misinformation. Unlike prior methods that provide either binary classification results or textual explanations separately, we introduce a novel method capable of generating both simultaneously. Our method harnesses the multi-modal learning capability of the pre-trained CLIP and the unprecedented interpretability of large language models (LLMs) to enhance both the generalization and explainability of deepfake detection. Specifically, we introduce a multi-modal face forgery detector (M2F2-Det) that employs tailored face forgery prompt learning, incorporating the pre-trained CLIP to improve generalization to unseen forgeries. Also, M2F2-Det incorporates an LLM to provide detailed textual explanations of its detection decisions, enhancing interpretability by bridging the gap between natural language and subtle cues of facial forgeries. Empirically, we evaluate M2F2-Det on both detection and explanation generation tasks, where it achieves state-of-the-art performance, demonstrating its effectiveness in identifying and explaining diverse forgeries.

TIDE: Training Locally Interpretable Domain Generalization Models Enables Test-time Correction
Authors: Aishwarya Agarwal; Srikrishna Karanam; Vineet Gandhi
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We consider the problem of single-source domain generalization. Existing methods typically rely on extensive augmentations to synthetically cover diverse domains during training. However, they struggle with semantic shifts (e.g., background and viewpoint changes), as they often learn global features instead of local concepts that tend to be domain invariant. To address this gap, we propose an approach that compels models to leverage such local concepts during prediction. Given no suitable dataset with per-class concepts and localization maps exists, we first develop a novel pipeline to generate annotations by exploiting the rich features of diffusion and large-language models. Our next innovation is TIDE, a novel training scheme with a concept saliency alignment loss that ensures model focus on the right per-concept regions and a local concept contrastive loss that promotes learning domain-invariant concept representations. This not only gives a robust model but also can be visually interpreted using the predicted concept saliency maps. Given these maps at test time, our final contribution is a new correction algorithm that uses the corresponding local concept representations to iteratively refine the prediction until it aligns with prototypical concept representations that we store at the end of model training. We evaluate our approach extensively on four standard DG benchmark datasets and substantially outperform the current state-of-the-art (12% improvement on average) while also demonstrating that our predictions can be visually interpreted.
VSNet: Focusing on the Linguistic Characteristics of Sign Language
Authors: Yuhao Li; Xinyue Chen; Hongkai Li; Xiaorong Pu; Peng Jin; Yazhou Ren
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Sign language is a visual language expressed through complex movements of the upper body. The human skeleton plays a critical role in sign language recognition due to its good separation from the video background. However, mainstream skeleton-based sign language recognition models often overly focus on the natural connections between joints, treating sign language as ordinary human movements, which neglects its linguistic characteristics. We believe that just as letters form words, each sign language gloss can also be decomposed into smaller visual symbols. To fully harness the potential of skeleton data, this paper proposes a novel joint fusion strategy and a visual symbol attention model. Specifically, we first input the complete set of skeletal joints, and after dynamically exchanging joint information, we discard the parts with the weakest connections to other joints, resulting in a fused, simplified skeleton. Then, we group the joints most likely to express the same visual symbol and discuss the joint movements within each group separately. To validate the superiority of our method, we conduct extensive experiments on multiple public benchmark datasets. The results show that, without complex pre-training, we still achieve new state-of-the-art performance.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Hyperspectral imaging plays a critical role in numerous scientific and industrial fields. Conventional hyperspectral imaging systems often struggle with the trade-off between capture speed, spectral resolution, and bandwidth, particularly in dynamic environments. In this work, we present a novel event-based active hyperspectral imaging system designed for real-time capture with low bandwidth in dynamic scenes. By combining an event camera with a dynamic illumination strategy, our system achieves unprecedented temporal resolution while maintaining high spectral fidelity, all at a fraction of the bandwidth requirements of traditional systems. Unlike basis-based methods that sacrifice spectral resolution for efficiency, our approach enables continuous spectral sampling through an innovative "sweeping rainbow" illumination pattern synchronized with a rotating mirror array. The key insight is leveraging the sparse, asynchronous nature of event cameras to encode spectral variations as temporal contrasts, effectively transforming the spectral reconstruction problem into a series of geometric constraints. Extensive evaluations of both synthetic and real data demonstrate that our system outperforms state-of-the-art methods in temporal resolution while maintaining competitive spectral reconstruction quality.
Bridging the Gap between Gaussian Diffusion Models and Universal Quantization for Image Compression
Authors: Lucas Relic; Roberto Azevedo; Yang Zhang; Markus Gross; Christopher Schroers
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Generative neural image compression supports data representation with extremely low bitrate, allowing clients to synthesize details and consistently producing highly realistic images. By leveraging the similarities between quantization error and additive noise, diffusion-based generative image compression codecs can be built using a latent diffusion model to "denoise" the artifacts introduced by quantization. However, we identify three critical gaps in previous approaches following this paradigm (namely, the noise level, noise type, and discretization gaps) that result in the quantized data falling out of the data distribution known by the diffusion model. In this work, we propose a novel quantization-based forward diffusion process with theoretical foundations that tackles all three aforementioned gaps. We achieve this through universal quantization with a carefully tailored quantization schedule and a diffusion model trained with uniform noise. Compared to previous work, our proposal produces consistently realistic and detailed reconstructions, even at very low bitrates. In such a regime, we achieve the best rate-distortion-realism performance, outperforming previous related works.
ZeroVO: Visual Odometry with Minimal Assumptions
Authors: Lei Lai; Zekai Yin; Eshed Ohn-Bar
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We introduce ZeroVO, a novel visual odometry (VO) algorithm that achieves zero-shot generalization across diverse cameras and environments, overcoming limitations in existing methods that depend on predefined or static camera calibration setups. Our approach incorporates three main innovations. First, we design a calibration-free, geometry-aware network structure capable of handling noise in estimated depth and camera parameters. Second, we introduce a language-based prior that infuses semantic information to enhance robust feature extraction and generalization to previously unseen domains. Third, we develop a flexible, semi-supervised training paradigm that iteratively adapts to new scenes using unlabeled data, further boosting the models' ability to generalize across diverse real-world scenarios. We analyze complex autonomous driving contexts, demonstrating over 30% improvement against prior methods on three standard benchmarks--KITTI, nuScenes, and Argoverse 2--as well as a newly introduced, high-fidelity synthetic dataset derived from Grand Theft Auto (GTA). By not requiring fine-tuning or camera calibration, our work broadens the applicability of VO, providing a versatile solution for real-world deployment at scale.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs) have recently exhibited remarkable capabilities in general video understanding.However, they mainly focus on holistic comprehension and struggle with capturing fine-grained spatial and temporal details. Besides, the lack of high-quality object-level video instruction data and a comprehensive benchmark further hinders their advancements. To tackle these challenges, we introduce the VideoRefer Suite to empower Video LLM for finer-level spatial-temporal video understanding, i.e., enabling perception and reasoning on any objects throughout the video. Specially, we thoroughly develop VideoRefer Suite across three essential aspects: dataset, model, and benchmark. Firstly, we introduce a multi-agent data engine to meticulously curate a large-scale, high-quality object-level video instruction dataset, termed VideoRefer-700K. Next, we present the VideoRefer model, which equips a versatile spatial-temporal object encoder to capture precise regional and sequential representations. Finally, we meticulously create a VideoRefer-Bench to comprehensively assess the spatial-temporal understanding capability of a Video LLM, evaluating it across various aspects. Extensive experiments and analyses demonstrate that our VideoRefer model not only achieves promising performance on video referring benchmarks but also facilitates general video understanding capabilities. Our codes, models, and dataset will be made publicly available.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Recent advances in text-to-image diffusion models have demonstrated impressive image generation capabilities. However, it remains challenging to control the generation process with desired properties (e.g., aesthetic quality, user intention), which can be expressed as black-box reward functions. Recent advances in text-to-image diffusion models have achieved impressive image generation capabilities. However, it remains challenging to control the generation process with desired properties (e.g., aesthetic quality, user intention), which can be expressed as black-box reward functions. In this paper, we focus on prompt adaptation, which refines the original prompt into model-preferred prompts to generate desired images. While prior work uses reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize prompts, we observe that applying RL often results in generating similar postfixes and deterministic behaviors. To this end, we introduce Prompt Adaptation with GFlowNets (PAG), a novel approach that frames prompt adaptation as a probabilistic inference problem. Our key insight is that leveraging Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) allows us to shift from reward maximization to sampling from an unnormalized density function, enabling both high-quality and diverse prompt generation. However, we identify that a naive application of GFlowNets suffers from mode collapse and uncovers a previously overlooked phenomenon: the progressive loss of neural plasticity in the model, which is compounded by inefficient credit assignment in sequential prompt generation. To address this critical challenge, we develop a systematic approach in PAG with flow reactivation, reward-prioritized sampling, and reward decomposition for prompt adaptation. Extensive experiments validate that PAG successfully learns to sample effective and diverse prompts for text-to-image generation. We also show that PAG exhibits strong robustness across various reward functions and transferability to different text-to-image models.

Authors: Wanyi Chen; Zihua Zhao; Jiangchao Yao; Ya Zhang; Jiajun Bu; Haishuai Wang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Recent advances in medical AI have shown a clear trend towards large models in healthcare. However, developing large models for multi-modal medical diagnosis remains challenging due to a lack of sufficient modal-complete medical data. Most existing multi-modal diagnostic models are relatively small and struggle with limited feature extraction capabilities. To bridge this gap, we propose **AdaCoMed**, an **ada**ptive **co**llaborative-learning framework that synergistically integrates the off-the-shelf **med**ical single-modal large models with multi-modal small models. Our framework first employs a mixture-of-modality-experts (MoME) architecture to combine features extracted from multiple single-modal medical large models, and then introduces a novel adaptive co-learning mechanism to collaborate with a multi-modal small model. This co-learning mechanism, guided by an adaptive weighting strategy, dynamically balances the complementary strengths between the MoME-fused large model features and the cross-modal reasoning capabilities of the small model. Extensive experiments on two representative multi-modal medical datasets (MIMIC-IV-MM and MMIST ccRCC) across six modalities and four diagnostic tasks demonstrate consistent improvements over state-of-the-art baselines, making it a promising solution for real-world medical diagnosis applications.
SAMBLE: Shape-Specific Point Cloud Sampling for an Optimal Trade-Off Between Local Detail and Global Uniformity
Authors: Chengzhi Wu; Yuxin Wan; Hao Fu; Julius Pfrommer; Zeyun Zhong; Junwei Zheng; Jiaming Zhang; Jürgen Beyerer
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Driven by the increasing demand for accurate and efficient representation of 3D data in various domains, point cloud sampling has emerged as a pivotal research topic in 3D computer vision. Recently, learning-to-sample methods have garnered growing interest from the community, particularly for their ability to be jointly trained with downstream tasks. However, previous learning-based sampling methods either lead to unrecognizable sampling patterns by generating a new point cloud or biased sampled results by focusing excessively on sharp edge details. Moreover, they all overlook the natural variations in point distribution across different shapes, applying a similar sampling strategy to all point clouds. In this paper, we propose a Sparse Attention Map and Bin-based Learning method (termed SAMBLE) to learn shape-specific sampling strategies for point cloud shapes. SAMBLE effectively achieves an improved balance between sampling edge points for local details and preserving uniformity in the global shape, resulting in superior performance across multiple common point cloud downstream tasks, even in scenarios with few-point sampling.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Sketch colorization plays an important role in animation and digital illustration production tasks. However, existing methods still meet problems in that text-guided methods fail to provide accurate color and style reference, hint-guided methods still involve manual operation, and image-referenced methods are prone to cause artifacts. To address these limitations, we propose a diffusion-based framework inspired by real-world animation production workflows. Our approach leverages the sketch as the spatial guidance and an RGB image as the color reference, and separately extracts foreground and background from the reference image with spatial masks. Particularly, we introduce a split cross-attention mechanism with LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) modules. They are trained separately with foreground and background regions to control the corresponding embeddings for keys and values in cross-attention. This design allows the diffusion model to integrate information from foreground and background independently, preventing interference and eliminating the spatial artifacts. During inference, we design switchable inference modes for diverse use scenarios by changing modules activated in the framework. Extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments, along with user studies, demonstrate our advantages over existing methods in generating high-qualigy artifact-free results with geometric mismatched references. Ablation studies further confirm the effectiveness of each component. Codes are available at https://github.com/tellurion-kanata/colorizeDiffusion.
