Authors: Valentin Gabeff; Haozhe Qi; Brendan Flaherty; Gencer Sumbul; Alexander Mathis; Devis Tuia
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Monitoring wildlife is essential for ecology and ethology, especially in light of the increasing human impact on ecosystems. Camera traps have emerged as habitat-centric sensors enabling the study of wildlife populations at scale with minimal disturbance. However, the lack of annotated video datasets limits the development of powerful video understanding models needed to process the vast amount of fieldwork data collected. To advance research in wild animal behavior monitoring we present MammAlps, a multimodal and multi-view dataset of wildlife behavior monitoring from 9 camera-traps in the Swiss National Park. MammAlps contains over 14 hours of video with audio, 2D segmentation maps and 8.5 hours of individual tracks densely labeled for species and behavior. Based on 6135 single animal clips, we propose the first hierarchical and multimodal animal behavior recognition benchmark using audio, video and reference scene segmentation maps as inputs. Furthermore, we also propose a second ecology-oriented benchmark aiming at identifying activities, species, number of individuals and meteorological conditions from 397 multi-view and long-term ecological events, including false positive triggers. We advocate that both tasks are complementary and contribute to bridging the gap between machine learning and ecology. Code and data are available at: https://github.com/eceo-epfl/MammAlps
Diffusion-based Realistic Listening Head Generation via Hybrid Motion Modeling
Authors: Yinuo Wang; Yanbo Fan; Xuan Wang; Guo Yu; Fei Wang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Listening head generation aims to synthesize non-verbal responsive listening head videos that naturally react to a certain speaker, for which, both realistic head movements, expressive facial expressions, and high visual qualities are expected. Previous approaches typically follow a two-stage pipeline that first generates intermediate 3D motion signals such as 3DMM coefficients, and then synthesizes the videos by deterministic rendering, suffering from limited motion expressiveness and low visual quality (eg, 256 x256). In this work, we propose a novel listening head generation method that harnesses the generative capabilities of the diffusion model for both motion generation and high-quality rendering. Crucially, we propose an effective hybrid motion modeling module that addresses training difficulties caused by the scarcity of listening head data while preserving the intricate details that may be lost in explicit motion representations. We further develop a tailored control guidance for head pose and facial expression, by integrating their intrinsic motion characteristics. Our method enables high-fidelity video generation with 512x512 resolution and delivers vivid listener motion feedback. We conduct comprehensive experiments and obtain superior performance in terms of both visual quality and motion expressiveness compared with existing methods.
SAT-HMR: Real-Time Multi-Person 3D Mesh Estimation via Scale-Adaptive Tokens
Authors: Chi Su; Xiaoxuan Ma; Jiajun Su; Yizhou Wang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We propose a one-stage framework for real-time multi-person 3D human mesh estimation from a single RGB image. While current one-stage methods, which follow a DETR-style pipeline, achieve state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance with high-resolution inputs, we observe that this particularly benefits the estimation of individuals in smaller scales of the image (e.g., those far from the camera), but at the cost of significantly increased computation overhead. To address this, we introduce scale-adaptive tokens that are dynamically adjusted based on the relative scale of each individual in the image within the DETR framework. Specifically, individuals in smaller scales are processed at higher resolutions, larger ones at lower resolutions, and background regions are further distilled. These scale-adaptive tokens more efficiently encode the image features, facilitating subsequent decoding to regress the human mesh, while allowing the model to allocate computational resources more effectively and focus on more challenging cases. Experiments show that our method preserves the accuracy benefits of high-resolution processing while substantially reducing computational cost, achieving real-time inference with performance comparable to SOTA methods.

PICD: Versatile Perceptual Image Compression with Diffusion Rendering
Authors: Tongda Xu; Jiahao Li; Bin Li; Yan Wang; Ya-Qin Zhang; Yan Lu
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Recently, perceptual image compression has achieved significant advancements, delivering high visual quality at low bitrates for natural images. However, for screen content, existing methods often produce noticeable artifacts when compressing text. To tackle this challenge, we propose versatile perceptual screen image compression with diffusion rendering (PICD), a codec that works well for both screen and natural images. More specifically, we propose a compression framework that encodes the text and image separately, and renders them into one image using diffusion model. For this diffusion rendering, we integrate conditional information into diffusion models at three distinct levels: 1). Domain level: We fine-tune the base diffusion model using text content prompts with screen content. 2). Adaptor level: We develop an efficient adaptor to control the diffusion model using compressed image and text as input. 3). Instance level: We apply instance-wise guidance to further enhance the decoding process. Empirically, our PICD surpasses existing perceptual codecs in terms of both text accuracy and perceptual quality. Additionally, without text conditions, our approach serves effectively as a perceptual codec for natural images.

Abstract: Generating high-fidelity, controllable, and annotated training data is critical for autonomous driving. Existing methods typically generate a single data form directly from a coarse scene layout, which not only fails to output rich data forms required for diverse downstream tasks but also struggles to model the direct layout-to-data distribution. In this paper, we introduce UniScene, the first unified framework for generating three key data forms - semantic occupancy, video, and LiDAR - in driving scenes. UniScene employs a progressive generation process that decomposes the complex task of scene generation into two hierarchical steps: (a) first generating semantic occupancy from a customized scene layout as a meta scene representation rich in both semantic and geometric information, and then (b) conditioned on occupancy, generating video and LiDAR data, respectively, with two novel transfer strategies of Gaussian-based Joint Rendering and Prior-guided Sparse Modeling. This occupancy-centric approach reduces the generation burden, especially for intricate scenes, while providing detailed intermediate representations for the subsequent generation stages. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UniScene outperforms previous SOTAs in the occupancy, video, and LiDAR generation, which also indeed benefits downstream driving tasks.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: This paper addresses a challenging question: how can we efficiently create high-quality, wide-scope 3D scenes from a single arbitrary image?Existing methods face several constraints, such as requiring multi-view data, time-consuming per-scene optimization, low visual quality, and distorted reconstructions for unseen areas. We propose a novel pipeline to overcome these limitations.Specifically, we introduce a large-scale reconstruction model that uses latents from a video diffusion model to predict 3D Gaussian Splatting, even from a single-condition image, in a feed-forward manner. The video diffusion model is designed to precisely follow a specified camera trajectory, allowing it to generate compressed latents that contain multi-view information while maintaining 3D consistency.We further train the 3D reconstruction model to operate on the video latent space with a progressive training strategy, enabling the generation of high-quality, wide-scope, and generic 3D scenes.Extensive evaluations on various datasets show that our model significantly outperforms existing methods for single-view 3D rendering, particularly with out-of-domain images. For the first time, we demonstrate that a 3D reconstruction model can be effectively built upon the latent space of a diffusion model to realize efficient 3D scene generation.
Learning from Streaming Video with Orthogonal Gradients

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We address the challenge of representation learning from a continuous stream of video as input, in a self-supervised manner. This differs from the standard approaches to video learning where videos are chopped and shuffled during training in order to create a non-redundant batch that satisfies the independently and identically distributed (IID) sample assumption expected by conventional training paradigms. When videos are only available as a continuous stream of input, the IID assumption is evidently broken, leading to poor performance. We demonstrate the drop in performance when moving from shuffled to sequential learning on three tasks: the one-video representation learning method DoRA, standard VideoMAE on multi-video datasets, and the task of future video prediction. To address this drop, we propose a geometric modification to standard optimizers, to decorrelate batches by utilising orthogonal gradients during training. The proposed modification can be applied to any optimizer -- we demonstrate it with Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and AdamW. Our proposed orthogonal optimizer allows models trained from streaming videos to alleviate the drop in representation learning performance, as evaluated on downstream tasks. On three scenarios (DoRA, VideoMAE, future prediction), we show our orthogonal optimizer outperforms the strong AdamW in all three scenarios.

Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Recently, road graph extraction has garnered increasing attention due to its crucial role in autonomous driving, navigation, etc. However, accurately and efficiently extracting road graphs remains a persistent challenge, primarily due to the severe scarcity of labeled data. To address this limitation, we collect a global-scale satellite road graph extraction dataset, i.e. Global-Scale dataset. Specifically, the Global-Scale dataset is  20x larger than the largest existing public road extraction dataset and spans over 13,800 km^2 globally. Additionally, we develop a novel road graph extraction model, i.e. SAM-Road++, which adopts a node-guided resampling method to alleviate the mismatch issue between training and inference in SAM-Road, a pioneering state-of-the-art road graph extraction model. Furthermore, we propose a simple yet effective "extended-line" strategy in SAM-Road++ to mitigate the occlusion issue on the road. Extensive experiments demonstrate the validity of the collected Global-Scale dataset and the proposed SAM-Road++ method, particularly highlighting its superior predictive power in unseen regions.
SuperLightNet: Lightweight Parameter Aggregation Network for Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation
Authors: Feng Yu; Jiacheng Cao; Li Liu; Minghua Jiang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Multimodal 3D segmentation involves a significant number of 3D convolution operations, which requires substantial computational resources and high-performance computing devices in MRI multimodal brain tumor segmentation. The key challenge in multimodal 3D segmentation is how to minimize network computational load while maintaining high accuracy. To address the issue, a novel lightweight parameter aggregation network (SuperLightNet) is proposed to realize the efficient encoder and decoder for the high accurate and low computation. A random multiview drop encoder is designed to learn the spatial structure of multimodal images through a random multi-view approach for solving the high computational time complexity that has arisen in recent years with methods relying on transformers and Mamba. A learnable residual skip decoder is designed to incorporate learnable residual and group skip weights for addressing the reduced computational efficiency caused by the use of overly heavy convolution and deconvolution decoders. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a leading reduction in parameter count by 95.59%, the 96.78% improvement in computational efficiency, the 96.86% enhancement in memory access performance, and the average performance gain of 0.21% on the BraTS2019 and BraTS2021 datasets in comparison with the state-of-the-art methods.

VideoSPatS: Video SPatiotemporal Splines for Disentangled Occlusion, Appearance and Motion Modeling and Editing
Authors: Juan Luis Gonzalez; Xu Yao; Alex Whelan; Kyle Olszewski; Hyeongwoo Kim; Pablo Garrido
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We present an implicit video representation for occlusions, appearance, and motion disentanglement from monocular videos, which we refer to as Video Spatiotemporal Splines (VideoSPatS).Unlike previous methods that map time and coordinates to deformation and canonical colors, our VideoSPatS maps input coordinates into Spatial and Color Spline deformation fields Ds and Dc, which disentangle motion and appearance in videos. With spline-based parametrization, our method naturally generates temporally consistent flow and guarantees long-term temporal consistency, which is crucial for convincing video editing.Aided by additional prediction blocks, our VideoSPatS also performs layer separation between the latent video and the selected occluder. By disentangling occlusions, appearance, and motion, our method allows for better spatiotemporal modeling and editing of diverse videos, including in-the-wild talking head videos with challenging occlusions, shadows, and specularities while maintaining a reasonable canonical space for editing.We also present general video modeling results on the DAVIS, and CoDeF datasets, as well as our own talking head video dataset collected from open-source web videos.  Extensive ablations show the combination of Ds and Dc under neural splines can overcome motion and appearance ambiguities, paving the way to more advanced video editing models.
Classifier-to-Bias: Toward Unsupervised Automatic Bias Detection for Visual Classifiers
Authors: Quentin Guimard; Moreno D'Incà; Massimiliano Mancini; Elisa Ricci
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: A person downloading a pre-trained model from the web should be aware of its biases. Existing approaches for bias identification rely on datasets containing labels for the task of interest, something that a non-expert may not have access to, or may not have the necessary resources to collect: this greatly limits the number of tasks where model biases can be identified. In this work, we present Classifier-to-Bias (C2B), the first bias discovery framework that works without access to any labeled data: it only relies on a textual description of the classification task to identify biases in the target classification model. This description is fed to a large language model to generate bias proposals and corresponding captions depicting biases together with task-specific target labels. A retrieval model collects images for those captions, which are then used to assess the accuracy of the model w.r.t. the given biases. C2B is training-free, does not require any annotations, has no constraints on the list of biases, and can be applied to any pre-trained model on any classification task. Experiments on two publicly available datasets show that C2B discovers biases beyond those of the original datasets and outperforms a recent state-of-the-art bias detection baseline that relies on task-specific annotations, being a promising first step toward addressing task-agnostic unsupervised bias detection.
Self-Supervised Spatial Correspondence Across Modalities
Authors: Ayush Shrivastava; Andrew Owens
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: We present a method for finding cross-modal space-time correspondences.  Given two images from different visual modalities, such as an RGB image and a depth map, our model identifies which pairs of pixels correspond to the same physical points in the scene. To solve this problem, we extend the contrastive random walk framework to simultaneously learn cycle-consistent feature representations for both cross-modal and intra-modal matching. The resulting model is simple and has no explicit photo-consistency assumptions. It can be trained entirely using unlabeled data, without the need for any spatially aligned multimodal image pairs. We evaluate our method on both geometric and semantic correspondence tasks. For geometric matching, we consider challenging tasks such as RGB-to-depth and RGB-to-thermal matching (and vice versa); for semantic matching, we evaluate on photo-sketch and cross-style image alignment. Our method achieves strong performance across all benchmarks.
MOS-Attack: A Scalable Multi-objective Adversarial Attack Framework
Authors: Ping Guo; Cheng Gong; Xi Lin; Fei Liu; Zhichao Lu; Qingfu Zhang; Zhenkun Wang
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Crafting adversarial examples is crucial for evaluating and enhancing the robustness of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), presenting a challenge equivalent to maximizing a non-differentiable 0-1 loss function.    However, existing single objective methods, namely adversarial attacks focus on a surrogate loss function, do not fully harness the benefits of engaging multiple loss functions, as a result of insufficient understanding of their synergistic and conflicting nature.    To overcome these limitations, we propose the Multi-Objective Set-based Attack (MOS Attack), a novel adversarial attack framework leveraging multiple loss functions and automatically uncovering their interrelations.    The MOS Attack adopts a set-based multi-objective optimization strategy, enabling the incorporation of numerous loss functions without additional parameters.    It also automatically mines synergistic patterns among various losses, facilitating the generation of potent adversarial attacks with fewer objectives.    Extensive experiments have shown that our MOS Attack outperforms single-objective attacks. Furthermore, by harnessing the identified synergistic patterns, MOS Attack continues to show superior results with a reduced number of loss functions.
Six-CD: Benchmarking Concept Removals for Text-to-image Diffusion Models
Authors: Jie Ren; Kangrui Chen; Yingqian Cui; Shenglai Zeng; Hui Liu; Yue Xing; Jiliang Tang; Lingjuan Lyu
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have shown exceptional capabilities in generating images that closely correspond to textual prompts. However, the advancement of T2I diffusion models presents significant risks, as the models could be exploited for malicious purposes, such as generating images with violence or nudity, or creating unauthorized portraits of public figures in inappropriate contexts. To mitigate these risks, concept removal methods have been proposed. These methods aim to modify diffusion models to prevent the generation of malicious and unwanted concepts. Despite these efforts, existing research faces several challenges: (1) a lack of consistent comparisons on a comprehensive dataset, (2) ineffective prompts in harmful and nudity concepts, (3) overlooked evaluation of the ability to generate the benign part within prompts containing malicious concepts. To address these gaps, we propose to benchmark the concept removal methods by introducing a new dataset, Six-CD, along with a novel evaluation metric. In this benchmark, we conduct a thorough evaluation of concept removals, with the experimental observations and discussions offering valuable insights in the field.
Motion Modes: What Could Happen Next?
Authors: Karran Pandey; Yannick Hold-Geoffroy; Matheus Gadelha; Niloy J. Mitra; Karan Singh; Paul Guerrero
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Predicting diverse object motions from a single static image remains challenging, as current video generation models often entangle object movement with camera motion and other scene changes. While recent methods can predict specific motions from motion arrow input, they rely on synthetic data and predefined motions, limiting their application to complex scenes. We introduce Motion Modes, a training-free approach that explores a pre-trained image-to-video generator's latent distribution to discover various distinct and plausible motions focused on selected objects in static images. We achieve this by employing a flow generator guided by energy functions designed to disentangle object and camera motion. Additionally, we use an energy inspired by particle guidance to diversify the generated motions, without requiring explicit training data. Experimental results demonstrate that Motion Modes generates realistic and varied object animations, surpassing previous methods and even human predictions regarding plausibility and diversity.
Finer-CAM: Spotting the Difference Reveals Finer Details for Visual Explanation
Authors: Ziheng Zhang; Jianyang Gu; Arpita Chowdhury; Zheda Mai; David Carlyn; Tanya Berger-Wolf; Yu Su; Wei-Lun Chao
Venue: CVPR 2025 (main)

Abstract: Class activation map (CAM) has been widely used to highlight image regions that contribute to class predictions. Despite its simplicity and computational efficiency, CAM often struggles to identify discriminative regions that distinguish visually similar fine-grained classes. Prior efforts address this limitation by introducing more sophisticated explanation processes, but at the cost of extra complexity. In this paper, we propose Finer-CAM, a method that retains CAM's efficiency while achieving precise localization of discriminative regions. Our key insight is that the deficiency of CAM lies not in "how" it explains, but in "what" it explains. Specifically, previous methods attempt to identify all cues contributing to the target class's logit value, which inadvertently also activates regions predictive of visually similar classes. By explicitly comparing the target class with similar classes and spotting their differences, Finer-CAM suppresses features shared with other classes and emphasizes the unique, discriminative details of the target class. Finer-CAM is easy to implement, compatible with various CAM methods, and can be extended to multi-modal models for accurate localization of specific concepts. Additionally, Finer-CAM allows adjustable comparison strength, enabling users to selectively highlight coarse object contours or fine discriminative details. Quantitatively, we show that masking out the top 5% of activated pixels by Finer-CAM results in a larger relative confidence drop compared to baselines.
