See It, Say It, Sorted: An Iterative Training-Free Framework for Visually-Grounded Multimodal Reasoning in LVLMs
Authors: Yongchang Zhang; Oliver Ma; Tianyi Liu; Guangquan Zhou; Yang Chen
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Recent large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated impressive reasoning ability by generating long chain-of-thought (CoT) responses. However, CoT reasoning in multimodal contexts is highly vulnerable to visual hallucination propagation: once an intermediate reasoning step becomes inconsistent with the visual evidence, subsequent steps-even if logically valid-can still lead to incorrect final answers. Existing solutions attempt to mitigate this issue by training models to "think with images" via reinforcement learning (RL). While effective, these methods are costly, model-specific, and difficult to generalize across architectures. Differently, we present a lightweight method that bypasses RL training and provides an iterative, training-free, plug-and-play framework for visually-grounded multimodal reasoning. Our key idea is to supervise each reasoning step at test time with visual evidence, ensuring that every decoded token is justified by corresponding visual cues. Concretely, we construct a textual visual-evidence pool that guides the model's reasoning generation. When existing evidence is insufficient, a visual decider module dynamically extracts additional relevant evidence from the image based on the ongoing reasoning context, expanding the pool until the model achieves sufficient visual certainty to terminate reasoning and produce the final answer. Extensive experiments on multiple LVLM backbones and benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. Our method achieves 16.5%-29.5% improvements on TreeBench and 13.7% RH-AUC gains on RH-Bench, substantially reducing hallucination rates while improving reasoning accuracy without additional training.
VRCLIP: Multimodal Canonical Correlation Alignment for CLIP-Driven Vision-Radio Person Re-Identification

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Multimodal person Re-IDentification (ReID) aims to reliably associate specific individuals by utilizing complementary information from heterogeneous modalities. In contrast, low-frequency radio frequency (RF) signals, with their superior penetration capability and illumination invariance, provide ideal complementary information. However, a key challenge in fusing these heterogeneous modalities lies in the conventional approach that relies heavily on cross-modal distribution matching, which often over-regularizes and weakens the discriminative capacity within each modality. Rather than enforcing direct distribution alignment, canonical correlation analysis (CCA) constructs a shared subspace that maximizes cross-modal correlation, inherently balancing modality specificity and shared semantics. Inspired by this, we reformulate cross-modal alignment as a correlation maximization problem, avoiding direct constraints on feature distributions and guiding the model to harmonize intra-modal discriminative learning with cross-modal alignment. Specifically, VRCLIP first refines CLIP's visual encoder with illumination-disentangling objectives, then aligns RGB and RF embeddings in a canonical correlation subspace, and finally employs an RF-anchored reliability gate for adaptive fusion. To advance the area,  we will release VRR, the first large-scale vision-radio ReID dataset with over 650K paired image-radar samples and position annotations for 31 participants. Extensive experiments show state-of-the-art 93.9% mAP and robust generalization across diverse lighting and occlusion conditions.
Statistical Characteristic-Guided Denoising for Rapid High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Imaging
Authors: Hesong Li; Ziqi Wu; Ruiwen Shao; Ying Fu
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) enables atomic-scale observation of nucleation dynamics, which boosts the studies of advanced solid materials. Nonetheless, due to the millisecond-scale rapid change of nucleation, it requires short-exposure rapid imaging, leading to severe noise that obscures atomic positions. In this work, we propose a statistical characteristic-guided denoising network, which utilizes statistical characteristics to guide the denoising process in both spatial and frequency domains. In the spatial domain, we present spatial deviation-guided weighting to select appropriate convolution operations for each spatial position based on deviation characteristic. In the frequency domain, we present frequency band-guided weighting to enhance signals and suppress noise based on band characteristics. We also develop an HRTEM-specific noise calibration method and generate a dataset with disordered structures and realistic HRTEM image noises. It can ensure the denoising performance of models on real images for nucleation observation. Experiments on synthetic and real data show our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in HRTEM image denoising, with effectiveness in the localization downstream task.

HERBench: A Benchmark for Multi-Evidence Integration in Video Question Answering
Authors: Dan Ben Ami; Gabriele Serussi; Kobi Cohen; Chaim Baskin
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) are improving rapidly, yet current Video Question Answering (VideoQA) benchmarks often admit single-cue shortcuts, under-testing reasoning that must integrate evidence across time. We introduce HERBench, a benchmark designed to make multi-evidence integration unavoidable: each question requires at least three non-overlapping cues drawn from distinct video segments. HERBench contains 26,806 five-way multiple-choice questions across 12 compositional tasks. To make evidential demand measurable, we introduce the Minimum Required Frame-Set (MRFS), the smallest number of frames a model must fuse to answer correctly, and show that HERBench imposes higher evidential demand than prior benchmarks. Evaluating 13 state-of-the-art Video-LLMs yields only 31-42% accuracy, only modestly above the 20% random-guess baseline. We disentangle this failure into two critical bottlenecks: (1) a retrieval deficit, where frame selectors overlook key evidence, and (2) a fusion deficit, where models fail to integrate information even when all necessary evidence is provided. HERBench thus provides a principled benchmark for studying robust multi-evidence video understanding.
LAMP: Language-Assisted Motion Planning for Controllable Video Generation
Authors: Muhammed Burak Kizil; Enes Sanli; Niloy J. Mitra; Erkut Erdem; Aykut Erdem; Duygu Ceylan
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Video generation has achieved remarkable progress in visual fidelity and controllability, enabling conditioning on text, layout, or motion. Among these, motion control -- specifying object dynamics and camera trajectories -- is essential for composing complex, cinematic scenes, yet existing interfaces remain limited. We introduce LAMP, that leverages large language models (LLMs) as motion planners to translate natural language descriptions into explicit 3D trajectories for dynamic objects and (relatively defined) cameras. LAMP defines a motion domain-specific language (DSL), inspired by cinematography conventions. By harnessing  program synthesis capabilities of LLMs, LAMP generates structured motion programs from natural language, which are deterministically mapped to 3D trajectories. We construct a large-scale procedural dataset pairing natural text descriptions with corresponding motion programs and 3D trajectories. Experiments demonstrate LAMP's improved performance in motion controllability and alignment with user intent compared to state-of-the-art alternatives, establishing the first framework for generating both object and camera motions directly from natural language specifications. Video and code are available at the project page at https://cyberiada.github.io/LAMP/ .

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: We introduce MMBench-GUI, a hierarchical benchmark for evaluating GUI automation agents across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and Web. The benchmark spans four levels: Content Understanding, Element Grounding, Task Automation, and Task Collaboration, covering essential skills for GUI agents. To assess both effectiveness and efficiency, we further propose the Efficiency-Quality-Aware (EQA) metric, which measures task success alongside action redundancy. Extensive evaluations reveal that precise visual grounding is the critical determinant of performance, underscoring the advantages of modular designs with specialized grounding modules. Moreover, all agents suffer from substantial inefficiencies, frequently completing tasks with excessive steps despite eventual success. Performance also degrades on complex or cross-application tasks, exposing weaknesses in memory, planning, and adaptive reasoning. By providing broad coverage, standardized protocols, and novel metrics, MMBench-GUI establishes the first comprehensive foundation for advancing GUI agent research.
Hermite Radial Basis Function for Surface Reconstruction via Differentiable Rendering
Authors: Hugo Blanc; Jean-Emmanuel Deschaud; Alexis Paljic
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Recent advances in novel view synthesis have enabled differentiable rendering methods to reconstruct 3D scenes directly from images. Algorithms such as 3D Gaussian Splatting and RayGauss use local basis functions to represent radiance fields, enabling fast, high-quality rendering of real-world scenes. However, these methods lack an exact geometric representation of the scene. In this work, inspired by Hermite Radial Basis Function (HRBF) implicits, we introduce a global implicit function constructed from local RBFs and their derivatives to represent surfaces. The proposed formulation enables learning scene geometry through differentiable rendering of an implicit function. By leveraging local basis functions, it achieves both an efficient geometric representation and fast rendering, using a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) to accelerate intersections with the local basis functions. The implementation of our approach will be made publicly available upon the paper's publication.
GDRO: Group-level Reward Post-training Suitable for Diffusion Models
Authors: Yiyang Wang; Xi Chen; Xiaogang Xu; Yu Liu; Hengshuang Zhao
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Recent advancements adopt online reinforcement learning (RL) from LLMs to text-to-image rectified flow diffusion models for reward alignment. The use of group-level rewards successfully aligns the model with the targeted reward. However, it faces challenges including low efficiency, dependency on stochastic samplers, and reward hacking. The problem is that rectified flow models are fundamentally different from LLMs: 1) For efficiency, online image sampling takes much more time and dominates the time of training. 2) For stochasticity, rectified flow is deterministic once the initial noise is fixed. Aiming at these problems and inspired by the effects of group-level rewards from LLMs, we design Group-level Direct Reward Optimization (GDRO). GDRO is a new post-training paradigm for group-level reward alignment that combines the characteristics of rectified flow models. Through rigorous theoretical analysis, we point out that GDRO supports full offline training that saves the large time cost for image rollout sampling. Also, it is diffusion-sampler-independent, which eliminates the need for the ODE-to-SDE approximation to obtain stochasticity. We also empirically study the reward hacking trap that may mislead the evaluation, and involve this factor in the evaluation using a corrected score that not only considers the original evaluation reward but also the trend of reward hacking. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GDRO effectively and efficiently improves the reward score of the diffusion model through group-wise offline optimization across the OCR and GenEval tasks, while demonstrating strong stability and robustness in mitigating reward hacking.
Learning 3D Representations for Spatial Intelligence from Unposed Multi-View Images
Authors: Bo Zhou; Qiuxia Lai; Zeren Sun; Xiangbo Shu; Yazhou Yao; Wenguan Wang
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Robust 3D representation learning forms the perceptual foundation of spatial intelligence, enabling downstream tasks in scene understanding and embodied AI. However, learning such representations directly from unposed multi-view images remains challenging. Recent self-supervised methods attempt to unify geometry, appearance, and semantics in a feed-forward manner, but they often suffer from weak geometry induction, limited appearance detail, and inconsistencies between geometry and semantics.We introduce UniSplat, a feed-forward framework designed to address these limitations through three complementary components. First, we propose a dual-masking strategy that strengthens geometry induction in the encoder. By masking both encoder and decoder tokens, and targeting decoder masks toward geometry-rich regions, the model is forced to infer structural information from incomplete visual cues, yielding geometry-aware representations even under unposed inputs.Second, we develop a coarse-to-fine Gaussian splatting strategy that reduces appearance-semantics inconsistencies by progressively refining the radiance field.Finally, to enforce geometric-semantic consistency, we introduce a pose-conditioned recalibration mechanism that interrelates the outputs of multiple heads by reprojecting predicted 3D point and semantic maps into the image plane using estimated camera parameters, and aligning them with corresponding RGB and semantic predictions to ensure cross-task consistency and resolving geometry-semantic mismatches. Together, these components yield unified 3D representations that are robust to unposed, sparse-view inputs and generalize across diverse tasks, laying a perceptual foundation for spatial intelligence.
mmWaveFlow: Unified Enhancement and Generation of mmWave Human Point Clouds
Authors: Chang Su; Beihong Jin; Qiwen Shi; Zhi Wang
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Millimeter-wave (mmWave) point clouds have attracted increasing interest in human sensing due to their robustness, privacy preservation, and low cost. However, their practical adoption is hindered by the inherent sparsity of data and the lack of large-scale annotated dataset. We revisit generative modeling and propose a unified flow-matching framework mmWaveFlow that unifies enhancement and generation of mmWave point clouds by learning an invertible transport between dense and sparse point clouds. We leverage paired data and a Cross-modal Latent Alignment module to enforce semantic alignment and bridge the modality gap. We find that condition-free flow matching is more vulnerable to latent path crossings, which impair transport. Therefore, we propose Origin-Aware Flow Matching (OA-Flow) by conditioning transport on the path origin to mitigate ambiguity in bidirectional transport. Results of experiments across multiple datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of mmWaveFlow for mmWave human point clouds generation and enhancement. We also observe consistent gains in downstream tasks, highlighting the promise of our framework for human sensing. Codes are available at https://github.com/suchang-99/mmWaveFlow.
Occlusion-Aware SORT: Observing Occlusion for Robust Multi-Object Tracking
Authors: Chunjiang Li; Jianbo Ma; Li Shen; Yanru Chen; Liangyin Chen
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Multi-object tracking (MOT) involves analyzing object trajectories and counting the number of objects in video sequences. However, 2D MOT faces challenges due to positional cost confusion arising from partial occlusion. To address this issue, we present the novel Occlusion-Aware SORT (OA-SORT) framework, a plug-and-play and training-free framework that includes the Occlusion-Aware Module (OAM), the Occlusion-Aware Offset (OAO), and the Bias-Aware Momentum (BAM). Specifically, OAM analyzes the occlusion status of objects, where a Gaussian Map (GM) is introduced to reduce background influence. In contrast, OAO and BAM leverage the OAM-described occlusion status to mitigate cost confusion and suppress estimation instability. Comprehensive evaluations on the DanceTrack, SportsMOT, and MOT17 datasets demonstrate the importance of occlusion handling in MOT. On the DanceTrack test set, OA-SORT achieves 63.1% and 64.2% in HOTA and IDF1, respectively. Furthermore, integrating the Occlusion-Aware framework into the four additional trackers improves HOTA and IDF1 by an average of 2.08% and 3.05%, demonstrating the reusability of the occlusion awareness.
V-DPM: 4D Video Reconstruction with Dynamic Point Maps
Authors: Edgar Sucar; Eldar Insafutdinov; Zihang Lai; Andrea Vedaldi
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Powerful 3D representations such as DUSt3R's invariant point maps, which encode 3D shape and camera parameters, have significantly advanced feed-forward 3D reconstruction. While point maps assume static scenes, Dynamic Point Maps (DPMs) extend the concept to dynamic 3D content by also representing scene motion. However, DPMs have so far been limited to image pairs and, like DUSt3R, require post-processing via optimisation when more than two views are involved. We argue that DPMs are more useful when applied to videos and introduce V-DPM to demonstrate this. First, we show how to set up DPMs for videos to optimise representational power, facilitate neural prediction, and enable reuse of pretrained models. Second, we implement these ideas on top of VGGT, a recent powerful 3D reconstructor. Although VGGT was trained on static scenes, we show that a modest amount of synthetic data suffices to adapt it into an effective V-DPM predictor. This yields state-of-the-art 3D and 4D reconstruction in dynamic settings. In particular, unlike recent dynamic extensions of VGGT such as P3, DPMs recover not only dynamic depth but also the 3D motion of every point in the scene.
DETACH : Decomposed Spatio-Temporal Alignment for Exocentric Video and Ambient Sensors with Staged Learning
Authors: Junho Yoon; Jaemo Jeong; Hyunju Kim; Dongman Lee
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Aligning egocentric video with wearable sensors has shown promise for human action recognition, but faces practical limitations in user discomfort, privacy concerns, and scalability. We explore exocentric video with ambient sensors as a non-intrusive, scalable alternative. However, the Global Alignment approach prevalent in egocentric-wearable settings fails in this new setting due to two problems: (P1) inability to capture local details such as subtle motions, and (P2) over-reliance on modality-invariant temporal features that distort negative relationships. To resolve these problems, we propose DETACH, a decomposed spatio-temporal alignment framework. By decomposing both modalities into spatial-temporal components, we preserve subtle temporal cues in videos from spatial features, and convert implicit sensor channel activations into explicit spatial prototypes via online clustering, thereby establishing cross-modal spatial grounding. To avoid over-reliance on temporal features, a spatial-temporal weighted contrastive loss leverages this grounding for fine-grained temporal alignment, prioritizing hard negatives and suppressing false negatives. Comprehensive experiments with downstream tasks on Opportunity++ and HWU-USP datasets demonstrate improvements of up to 30% in F1 and 50% in mAP over adapted egocentric-wearable baselines.
TIACam: Text-Anchored Invariant Feature Learning with Auto-Augmentation for Camera-Robust Zero-Watermarking
Authors: Abdullah Tanvir; Agnibh Dasgupta; Xin Zhong
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Camera recapture introduces complex optical degradations, such as perspective warping, illumination shifts, and Moire interference, that remain challenging for deep watermarking systems. We present TIACam, a text-anchored invariant feature learning framework with auto-augmentation for camera-robust zero-watermarking. The method integrates three key innovations: (1) a learnable auto-augmentor that discovers camera-like distortions through differentiable geometric, photometric, and Moire operators; (2) a text-anchored invariant feature learner that enforces semantic consistency via cross-modal adversarial alignment between image and text; and (3) a zero-watermarking head that binds binary messages in the invariant feature space without modifying image pixels. This unified formulation jointly optimizes invariance, semantic alignment, and watermark recoverability. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world camera captures demonstrate that TIACam achieves state-of-the-art feature stability and watermark extraction accuracy, establishing a principled bridge between multimodal invariance learning and physically robust zero-watermarking.
AnthroTAP: Learning Point Tracking with Real-World Motion

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Point tracking models often struggle to generalize to real-world videos because large-scale training data is predominantly synthetic--the only source currently feasible to produce at scale. Collecting real-world annotations, however, is prohibitively expensive, as it requires tracking hundreds of points across frames. We introduce AnthroTAP, an automated pipeline that generates large-scale pseudo-labeled point tracking data from real human motion videos. Leveraging the structured complexity of human movement--non-rigid deformations, articulated motion, and frequent occlusions--AnthroTAP fits Skinned Multi-Person Linear (SMPL) models to detected humans, projects mesh vertices onto image planes, resolves occlusions via ray-casting, and filters unreliable tracks using optical flow consistency. A model trained on the AnthroTAP dataset achieves state-of-the-art performance on TAP-Vid, a challenging general-domain benchmark for tracking any point on diverse rigid and non-rigid objects (e.g., humans, animals, robots, and vehicles). Our approach outperforms recent self-training methods trained on vastly larger real datasets, while requiring only one day of training on 4 GPUs. AnthroTAP shows that structured human motion offers a scalable and effective source of real-world supervision for point tracking.
