TRACE: Learning 3D Gaussian Physical Dynamics from Multi-view Videos
Authors: Jinxi Li; Ziyang Song; Bo Yang
Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: In this paper, we aim to model 3D scene geometry, appearance, and physical information just from dynamic multi-view videos in the absence of any human labels. By leveraging physics-informed losses as soft constraints or integrating simple physics models into neural networks, existing works often fail to learn complex motion physics, or doing so requires additional labels such as object types or masks. In this paper, we propose a new framework named **TRACE** to model the motion physics of complex dynamic 3D scenes. The key novelty of our approach is that, by formulating each 3D point as a rigid particle with size and orientation in space, we choose to directly learn a translation rotation dynamics system for each particle, explicitly estimating a complete set of physical parameters to govern the particle's motion over time. Extensive experiments on three existing dynamic datasets and one newly created challenging synthetic datasets demonstrate the extraordinary performance of our method over baselines in the task of future frame extrapolation. A nice property of our framework is that multiple objects or parts can be easily segmented just by clustering the learned physical parameters. Our datasets and code will be released at https://github.com/.
Two Losses, One Goal: Balancing Conflict Gradients for Semi-supervised Semantic Segmentation
Authors: Rui Sun; Huayu Mai; Wangkai Li; Yujia Chen; Yuan Wang
Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: Semi-supervised semantic segmentation has attracted considerable attention as it alleviates the need for extensive pixel-level annotations. However, existing methods often overlook the potential optimization conflict between supervised and unsupervised learning objectives, leading to suboptimal performance. In this paper, we identify this under-explored issue and propose a novel Pareto Optimization Strategy (POS) to tackle it. POS aims to find a descent gradient direction that benefits both learning objectives, thereby facilitating model training. By dynamically assigning weights to the gradients at each iteration based on the model's learning status, POS effectively reconciles the intrinsic tension between the two objectives. Furthermore, we analyze POS from the perspective of gradient descent in random batch sampling and propose the Magnitude Enhancement Operation (MEO) to further unleash its potential by considering both direction and magnitude during gradient integration. Extensive experiments on challenging benchmarks demonstrate that integrating POS into existing semi-supervised segmentation methods yields consistent improvements across different data splits and architectures (CNN, Transformer), showcasing its effectiveness.
FreeCus: Free Lunch Subject-driven Customization in Diffusion Transformers
Authors: Yanbing Zhang; Zhe Wang; Qin Zhou; Mengping Yang
Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: In light of recent breakthroughs in text-to-image (T2I) generation, particularly with diffusion transformers (DiT), subject-driven technologies are increasingly being employed for high-fidelity customized production that preserves subject identity from reference inputs, enabling thrilling design workflows and engaging entertainment. Existing alternatives typically require either per-subject optimization via trainable text embeddings or training specialized encoders for subject feature extraction on large-scale datasets. Such dependencies on training procedures fundamentally constrain their practical applications. More importantly, current methodologies fail to fully leverage the inherent zero-shot potential of modern diffusion transformers (e.g., the Flux series) for authentic subject-driven synthesis. To bridge this gap, we propose FreeCus, a genuinely training-free framework that activates DiT's capabilities through three key innovations: 1) We introduce a pivotal attention sharing mechanism that captures the subject's layout integrity while preserving crucial editing flexibility. 2) Through a straightforward analysis of DiT's dynamic shifting, we propose an upgraded variant that significantly improves fine-grained feature extraction. 3) We further integrate advanced Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to enrich cross-modal semantic representations. Extensive experiments reflect that our method successfully unlocks DiT's zero-shot ability for consistent subject synthesis across diverse contexts, achieving state-of-the-art or comparable results compared to approaches that require additional training. Notably, our framework demonstrates seamless compatibility with existing inpainting pipelines and control modules, facilitating more compelling experiences.

Trokens: Semantic-Aware Relational Trajectory Tokens for Few-Shot Action Recognition
Authors: Pulkit Kumar; Shuaiyi Huang; Matthew Walmer; Sai Saketh Rambhatla; Abhinav Shrivastava
Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: Video understanding requires effective modeling of both motion and appearance information, particularly for few-shot action recognition. While recent advances in point tracking have been shown to improve few-shot action recognition, two fundamental challenges persist: selecting informative points to track and effectively modeling their motion patterns. We present Trokens, a novel approach that transforms trajectory points into semantic-aware relational tokens for action recognition. First, we introduce a semantic-aware sampling strategy to adaptively distribute tracking points based on object scale and semantic relevance. Second, we develop a motion modeling framework that captures both intra-trajectory dynamics through the Histogram of Oriented Displacements (HoD) and inter-trajectory relationships to model complex action patterns. Our approach effectively combines these trajectory tokens with semantic features to enhance appearance features with motion information, achieving state-of-the-art performance across six diverse few-shot action recognition benchmarks: Something-Something-V2 (both full and small splits), Kinetics, UCF101, HMDB51, and FineGym.
MotionStreamer: Streaming Motion Generation via Diffusion-based Autoregressive Model in Causal Latent Space
Authors: Lixing Xiao; Shunlin Lu; Huaijin Pi; Ke Fan; Liang Pan; Yueer Zhou; Ziyong Feng; Xiaowei Zhou; Sida Peng; Jingbo Wang
Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: This paper addresses the challenge of text-conditioned streaming motion generation, which requires us to predict the next-step human pose based on variable-length historical motions and incoming texts. Existing methods struggle to achieve streaming motion generation, e.g., diffusion models are constrained by pre-defined motion lengths, while GPT-based methods suffer from delayed response and error accumulation problem due to discretized non-causal tokenization. To solve these problems, we propose MotionStreamer, a novel framework that incorporates a continuous causal latent space into a probabilistic autoregressive model. The continuous latents mitigate information loss caused by discretization and effectively reduce error accumulation during long-term autoregressive generation. In addition, by establishing temporal causal dependencies between current and historical motion latents, our model fully utilizes the available information to achieve accurate online motion decoding. Experiments show that our method outperforms existing approaches while offering more applications, including multi-round generation, long-term generation, and dynamic motion composition.

Abstract: Remote sensing foundation models largely break away from the traditional paradigm of designing task-specific models, offering greater scalability across multiple tasks. However, they face challenges such as low computational efficiency and limited interpretability, especially when dealing with large-scale remote sensing images. To overcome these, we draw inspiration from heat conduction, a physical process modeling local heat diffusion. Building on this idea, we are the first to explore the potential of using the parallel computing model of heat conduction to simulate the local region correlations in high-resolution remote sensing images, and introduce RS-vHeat, an efficient multi-modal remote sensing foundation model. Specifically, RS-vHeat 1) applies the Heat Conduction Operator (HCO) with a complexity of O(N^ 1.5 ) and a global receptive field, reducing computational overhead while capturing remote sensing object structure information to guide heat diffusion; 2) learns the frequency distribution representations of various scenes through a self-supervised strategy based on frequency domain hierarchical masking and multi-domain reconstruction; 3) significantly improves efficiency and performance over state-of-the-art techniques across 4 tasks and 10 datasets. Compared to attention-based remote sensing foundation models, we reduce memory usage by 84%, FLOPs by 24% and improves throughput by 2.7 times. The code will be made publicly available.

Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: Vision Transformers (ViTs) have emerged as a foundational model in computer vision, excelling in generalization and adaptation to downstream tasks. However, deploying ViTs to support diverse resource constraints typically requires retraining multiple, size-specific ViTs, which is both time-consuming and energy-intensive. To address this issue, we propose an efficient ViT adaptation framework that enables a single adaptation process to generate multiple models of varying sizes for deployment on platforms with various resource constraints. Our approach comprises two stages. In the first stage, we enhance a pre-trained ViT with a nested elastic architecture that enables structural flexibility across MLP expansion ratio, number of attention heads, embedding dimension, and network depth. To preserve pre-trained knowledge and ensure stable adaptation, we adopt a curriculum-based training strategy that progressively increases elasticity. In the second stage, we design a lightweight router to select submodels according to computational budgets and downstream task demands. Initialized with Pareto-optimal configurations derived via a customized NSGA-II algorithm, the router is then jointly optimized with the backbone. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness and versatility of EA-ViT. The code is available at https://github.com/zcxcf/EA-ViT.

Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: The integration of geometric reconstruction and generative modeling remains a critical challenge in developing AI systems capable of human-like spatial reasoning. This paper proposes Aether, a unified framework that enables geometry-aware reasoning in world models by jointly optimizing three core capabilities: (1) 4D dynamic reconstruction, (2) action-conditioned video prediction, and (3) goal-conditioned visual planning. Through task-interleaved feature learning, Aether achieves synergistic knowledge sharing across reconstruction, prediction, and planning objectives. Building upon video generation models, our framework demonstrates zero-shot synthetic-to-real generalization despite never observing real-world data during training. Furthermore, our approach achieves zero-shot generalization in both action following and reconstruction tasks, thanks to its intrinsic geometric modeling. Notably, even without real-world data, its reconstruction performance is comparable with or even better than that of domain-specific models. Additionally, Aether employs camera trajectories as geometry-informed action spaces, enabling effective action-conditioned prediction and visual planning. We hope our work inspires the community to explore new frontiers in physically-reasonable world modeling and its applications.
ArtEditor: Learning Customized Instructional Image Editor from Few-Shot Examples
Authors: Shijie Huang; Yiren Song; Yuxuan Zhang; Hailong Guo; Xueyin Wang; Jiaming Liu
Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: We introduce ArtEditor, a novel framework for instruction-based image editing that learns unique editing styles from few-shot examples. While image editing has seen significant advancements, customized instructional editing remains underexplored. Existing methods often rely on complex, multi-stage pipelines that are difficult to adapt to specific styles. Additionally, this domain lacks a standardized benchmark, making it challenging to evaluate progress. To address these issues, we propose ArtEditor, a two-stage training framework. In the first stage, we train ArtEditor-Base, a general-purpose image editing model, on large-scale datasets to build a strong foundational capability. In the second stage, we fine-tune this model using ArtEditor-LoRA, a lightweight adaptation module, on a small dataset of before-and-after image pairs. This approach enables the model to efficiently learn distinct editing styles and techniques with minimal data. To enhance the performance of a pre-trained Diffusion Transformer (DiT) model, we introduce two key innovations: position encoding cloning and a noise-free conditioning paradigm. These techniques ensure stable and coherent edits, even when adapting to new styles. To support research in this area, we contribute the DoodleArt dataset, the first benchmark specifically designed for customized image editing. DoodleArt features six high-quality artistic styles created by professional artists and designers, providing a valuable resource for evaluating and advancing future work. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ArtEditor achieves superior performance and robustness in customized image editing. Our framework opens new possibilities for artistic creation, offering artists intuitive and flexible tools to bring their visions to life.
LiON-LoRA: Rethinking LoRA Fusion to Unify Controllable Spatial and Temporal Generation for Video Diffusion
Authors: Yisu Zhang; Chenjie Cao; Chaohui Yu; Jianke Zhu
Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: Video Diffusion Models (VDMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in synthesizing realistic videos by learning from large-scale data. Although vanilla Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) can learn specific spatial or temporal movement to driven VDMs with constrained data, achieving precise control over both camera trajectories and object motion remains challenging due to the unstable fusion and non-linear scalability. To address these issues, we propose LiON-LoRA, a novel framework that rethinks LoRA fusion through three core principles: Linear scalability, Orthogonality, and Norm consistency. First, we analyze the orthogonality of LoRA features in shallow VDM layers, enabling decoupled low-level controllability. Second, norm consistency is enforced across layers to stabilize fusion during complex camera motion combinations. Third, a controllable token is integrated into the diffusion transformer (DiT) to linearly adjust motion amplitudes for both cameras and objects with a modified self-attention mechanism to ensure decoupled control. Additionally, we extend LiON-LoRA to temporal generation by leveraging static-camera videos, unifying spatial and temporal controllability. Experiments demonstrate that LiON-LoRA outperforms state-of-the-art methods in trajectory control accuracy and motion strength adjustment, achieving superior generalization with minimal training data.
VLIPP: Towards Physically Plausible Video Generation with Vision and Language Informed Physical Prior

Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: Video diffusion models (VDMs) have advanced significantly in recent years, enabling the generation of highly realistic videos and drawing the attention of the community in their potential as world simulators. However, despite their capabilities, VDMs often fail to produce physically plausible videos due to an inherent lack of understanding of physics, resulting in incorrect dynamics and event sequences. To address this limitation, we propose a novel two-stage image-to-video generation framework that explicitly incorporates physics with vision and language informed physical prior. In the first stage, we employ a Vision Language Model (VLM) as a coarse-grained motion planner, integrating chain-of-thought and physics-aware reasoning to predict a rough motion trajectories/changes that approximate real-world physical dynamics while ensuring the inter-frame consistency. In the second stage, we use the predicted motion trajectories/changes to guide the video generation of a VDM. As the predicted motion trajectories/changes are rough, noise is added during inference to provide freedom to the VDM in generating motion with more fine details. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our framework can produce physically plausible motion, and comparative evaluations highlight the notable superiority of our approach over existing methods.

Venue: ICCV 2025 (main)

Abstract: We present SAM4D, a multi-modal and temporal foundation model designed for promptable segmentation across camera and LiDAR streams. Unified Multi-modal Positional Encoding (UMPE) is introduced to align camera and LiDAR features in a shared 3D space, enabling seamless cross-modal prompting and interaction. Additionally, we propose Motion-aware Cross-modal Memory Attention (MCMA), which leverages ego-motion compensation to enhance temporal consistency and long-horizon feature retrieval, ensuring robust segmentation across dynamically changing autonomous driving scenes. To avoid annotation bottlenecks, we develop a multi-modal automated data engine that synergizes VFM-driven video masklets, spatiotemporal 4D reconstruction, and cross-modal masklet fusion. This framework generates camera-LiDAR aligned pseudo-labels at a speed orders of magnitude faster than human annotation while preserving VFM-derived semantic fidelity in point cloud representations. We conduct extensive experiments on the constructed Waymo-4DSeg, which demonstrate the powerful cross-modal segmentation ability and great potential in data annotation of proposed SAM4D.

Abstract: Relational video customization refers to the creation of personalized videos that depict user-specified relations between two subjects, a crucial task for comprehending real-world visual content. While existing methods can personalize subject appearances and motions, they still struggle with complex relational video customization, where precise relational modeling and high generalization across subject categories are essential. The primary challenge arises from the intricate spatial arrangements, layout variations, and nuanced temporal dynamics inherent in relations; consequently, current models tend to overemphasize irrelevant visual details rather than capturing meaningful interactions. To address these challenges, we propose DreamRelation, a novel approach that personalizes relations through a small set of exemplar videos, leveraging two key components: Relational Decoupling Learning and Relational Dynamics Enhancement. First, in Relational Decoupling Learning, we disentangle relations from subject appearances using relation LoRA triplet and hybrid mask training strategy, ensuring better generalization across diverse relationships. Furthermore, we determine the optimal design of relation LoRA triplet by analyzing the distinct roles of the query, key, and value features within MM-DiT's attention mechanism, making DreamRelation the first relational video generation framework with explainable components. Second, in Relational Dynamics Enhancement, we introduce space-time relational contrastive loss, which prioritizes relational dynamics while minimizing the reliance on detailed subject appearances. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DreamRelation outperforms state-of-the-art methods in relational video customization. Project page at: https://dreamrelation.github.io/.

Abstract: Spatio-temporal consistency is a critical topic in video generation. A qualified generated video segment must ensure plot plausibility and coherence while maintaining visual consistency of objects and scenes across varying viewpoints. Prior research, especially in open-source projects, primarily focuses on either temporal or spatial consistency, or their basic combination, such as appending a camera-movement description after a prompt without constraining its outcomes. However, camera movement may introduce new objects to the scene or eliminate existing ones, thereby affecting the preceding narrative. Especially in videos with numerous camera movements, the interplay between multiple plots becomes increasingly complex. This paper introduces and examines integral spatio-temporal consistency, considering the synergy between plot progression and camera techniques, and the long-term impact of prior content on subsequent generation. Our research encompasses dataset construction through to model development. Initially, we constructed DropletVideo-10M, which comprises 10 million videos that feature dynamic camera motion and object actions. With an average length of 206 words, the captions offer detailed accounts of camera movements. Following this, we developed the DropletVideo model, which excels in preserving spatio-temporal coherence during video generation. The work has been open-sourced: https://dropletx.github.io/.
