Orthogonal Spatial-Aware Multi-View Anchor Graph Clustering for Incomplete Remote Sensing Data
Authors: Yongshan Zhang; Xiaohuan Lin; Lefei Zhang; Zhihua Cai
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Multi-view clustering for remote sensing data has received increasing attention by leveraging diverse data representations to enhance Earth observation. Existing methods are primarily developed under the assumption that each pixel is fully observed across all views. No prior work has investigated the more practical yet challenging scenario where some views suffer from partially missing data. To bridge this gap, this paper presents the first study on clustering incomplete remote sensing data, termed orthogonal spatial-aware multi-view anchor graph clustering (OSMAGC). Specifically, spatial-aware anchors and multi-scale anchor graphs are initially constructed by exploiting the superpixel-based texture characteristics of each view. Based on these, multi-scale anchor graph learning is performed through view weighting and matrix factorization on incomplete data. Structure-aligned consensus feature learning is achieved by aligning the multi-scale graph structures within a shared latent space. To ensure spatial continuity and smoothness, orthogonal spatial-aware regularization is imposed in both horizontal and vertical directions. These three modules are jointly optimized through a well-designed optimization algorithm in a mutually reinforcing manner. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed method over the state-of-the-art competitors.
Designing Instance-Level Sampling Schedules via REINFORCE with James-Stein Shrinkage
Authors: Peiyu Yu; Suraj Kothawade; Sirui Xie; Ying Nian Wu; Hongliang Fei
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Most post-training methods for text-to-image samplers focus on the model weights: either fine-tuning the backbone for alignment or distilling it for few-step efficiency. We take a different route: rescheduling the sampling timeline of a frozen sampler. Instead of a fixed, global schedule, we learn instance-level (prompt- and noise-conditioned) schedules through a single-pass Dirichlet policy. To ensure accurate gradient estimates in high-dimensional policy learning, we introduce a novel reward baseline based on a principled James-Stein estimator; it provably achieves lower estimation errors than commonly used variants and leads to superior results. Our rescheduled samplers consistently improve text-image alignment including text rendering and compositional control across modern Stable Diffusion and Flux model families.Additionally, a 5-step Flux-Dev sampler with our schedules can attain generation quality comparable to deliberately distilled samplers like Flux-Schnell. We thus position our scheduling framework as an emerging model-agnostic post-training lever that unlocks additional generative potential in pretrained samplers.
MVInverse: Feed-forward Multiview Inverse Rendering in Seconds
Authors: Xiangzuo Wu; Chengwei Ren; Jun Zhou; Xiu Li; Yuan Liu
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Multi-view inverse rendering aims to recover geometry, materials, and illumination consistently across multiple viewpoints. Existing single-view approaches often ignore cross-view relationships, leading to inconsistent results, while multi-view optimization methods rely on slow differentiable rendering and per-scene refinement, making them computationally expensive and hard to scale. To address these limitations, we introduce a feed-forward multi-view inverse rendering framework that directly predicts spatially varying albedo, metallicity, roughness, diffuse shading, and surface normals from sequences of RGB images. By alternating attention across views, our model captures both intra-view long-range lighting interactions and inter-view material consistency, enabling coherent scene-level reasoning within a single forward pass. Due to the scarcity of real-world training data, models trained on existing synthetic datasets often struggle to generalize to real-world scenes. To overcome this limitation, we propose a consistency-based finetuning strategy that leverages unlabeled real-world videos to enhance both multi-view coherence and robustness under in-the-wild conditions. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of multi-view consistency, material and normal estimation quality, and generalization to real-world imagery.

Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: A generalist robotic policy needs both semantic understanding for task planning and the ability to interact with the environment through predictive capabilities. To tackle this, we present MM-ACT, a unified Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that integrates text, image, and action in shared token space and performs generation across all three modalities. MM-ACT adopts a re-mask parallel decoding strategy for text and image generation, and employs a one-step parallel decoding strategy for action generation to improve efficiency. We introduce Context-Shared Multimodal Learning, a unified training paradigm that supervises generation in all three modalities from a shared context, enhancing action generation through cross-modal learning. Experiments were conducted on the LIBERO simulation and Franka real-robot setups as well as RoboTwin2.0 to assess in-domain and out-of-domain performances respectively. Our approach achieves a success rate of 96.3% on LIBERO, 72.0% across three tasks of real Franka, and 52.38% across eight bimanual tasks of RoboTwin2.0 with an additional gain of 9.25% from cross-modal learning. We release our codes, models and data at https://github.com/HHYHRHY/MM-ACT.
Rethinking Cross-Modal Anchor Alignment for Mitigating Error Accumulation
Authors: Bin Liu; Wei Sun; Qianqian Wang; Wei Feng; Yijie Chen; Haixi Zhang
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Mitigating noisy correspondence in cross-modal matching poses a serious challenge due to the problem of error accumulation. Existing methods primarily attribute this accumulation to errors caused by noisy sample pairs. However, a novel source of error from clean sample pairs (also termed anchor pairs) is discovered in this paper. Such error accumulation is considered to arise from modality-inconsistent correlations. To address this issue, a novel method termed Geometric-Semantic Learning (GSL) is proposed. Firstly, GSL leverages the Fourier transform to emphasize semantic representations and reduce cross-modal inconsistencies caused by perturbations in non-critical fine-grained features, thereby alleviating the error accumulation problem. After that, a Geometry-Aware Label Correction (GALC) method is introduced to re-estimate soft correspondence labels by leveraging angular consistency between noisy sample pairs and anchor pairs across different modalities. Finally, a semantically constrained triplet loss is employed to regulate sample distances using semantic information, enabling robust separation of clean and noisy pairs during the training process. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that GSL consistently outperforms existing methods in retrieval accuracy.
CountGD++: Generalized Prompting for Open-World Counting
Authors: Niki Amini-Naieni; Andrew Zisserman
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: The flexibility and accuracy of methods for automatically counting objects in images and videos are limited by the way the object can be specified. While existing methods allow users to describe the target object with text and visual examples, the visual examples must be manually annotated inside the image, and there is no way to specify what not to count. To address these gaps, we introduce novel capabilities that expand how the target object can be specified. Specifically, we extend the prompt to enable what not to count to be described with text and/or visual examples, introduce the concept of `pseudo-exemplars' that automate the annotation of visual examples at inference, and extend counting models to accept visual examples from both natural and synthetic external images. We also use our new counting model, CountGD++, as a vision expert agent for an LLM. Together, these contributions expand the prompt flexibility of multi-modal open-world counting and lead to significant improvements in accuracy, efficiency, and generalization across multiple datasets.

Training-free Detection of Generated Videos via Spatial-Temporal Likelihoods
Authors: Omer Ben Hayun; Roy Betser; Meir Yossef Levi; Levi Kassel; Guy Gilboa
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Following major advances in text and image generation, the video domain has surged, producing highly realistic and controllable sequences. Along with this progress, these models also raise serious concerns about misinformation, making reliable detection of synthetic videos increasingly crucial. Image-based detectors are fundamentally limited because they operate per frame and ignore temporal dynamics, while supervised video detectors generalize poorly to unseen generators, a critical drawback given the rapid emergence of new models. These challenges motivate zero-shot approaches, which avoid synthetic data and instead score content against real-data statistics, enabling training-free, model-agnostic detection. We introduce STALL, a simple, training-free, theoretically justified detector that provides likelihood-based scoring for videos, jointly modeling spatial and temporal evidence within a probabilistic framework. We evaluate STALL on two public benchmarks and introduce ComGenVid, a new benchmark with state-of-the-art generative models. STALL consistently outperforms prior image- and video-based baselines.

PRISM: Video Dataset Condensation with Progressive Refinement and Insertion for Sparse Motion
Authors: Jaehyun Choi; Jiwan Hur; Gyojin Han; Jaemyung Yu; Junmo Kim
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Video dataset condensation aims to reduce the immense computational cost of video processing. However, it faces a fundamental challenge regarding the inseparable interdependence between spatial appearance and temporal dynamics. Prior work follows a static/dynamic disentanglement paradigm where videos are decomposed into static content and auxiliary motion signals. This multi-stage approach often misrepresents the intrinsic coupling of real-world actions. We introduce Progressive Refinement and Insertion for Sparse Motion (PRISM), a holistic approach that treats the video as a unified and fully coupled spatiotemporal structure from the outset. To maximize representational efficiency, PRISM addresses the inherent temporal redundancy of video by avoiding fixed frame optimization. It begins with minimal temporal anchors and progressively inserts key-frames only where linear interpolation fails to capture non-linear dynamics. These critical moments are identified through gradient misalignments. Such an adaptive process ensures that representational capacity is allocated precisely where needed, minimizing storage requirements while preserving complex motion. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PRISM achieves competitive performance across standard benchmarks while providing state-of-the-art storage efficiency through its sparse and holistically learned representation.
Interpretable Debiasing of Vision-Language Models for Social Fairness
Authors: Na Min An; Yoonna Jang; Yusuke Hirota; Ryo Hachiuma; Isabelle Augenstein; Hyunjung Shim
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: The rapid advancement of Vision-Language models (VLMs) has raised growing concerns that their black-box reasoning processes could lead to unintended forms of social bias. Current debiasing approaches focus on mitigating surface-level bias signals through post-hoc learning or test-time algorithms, while leaving the internal dynamics of the model largely unexplored. In this work, we introduce an interpretable, model-agnostic bias mitigation framework, DeBiasLens, that localizes social attribute neurons in VLMs through sparse autoencoders (SAEs) applied to multimodal encoders. Building upon the disentanglement ability of SAEs, we train them on facial image or caption datasets without corresponding social attribute labels to uncover neurons highly responsive to specific demographics, including those that are underrepresented. By selectively deactivating the social neurons most strongly tied to bias for each group, we effectively mitigate socially biased behaviors of VLMs without degrading their semantic knowledge. Our research lays the groundwork for future auditing tools, prioritizing social fairness in emerging real-world AI systems.
D3D-VLP: Dynamic 3D Vision-Language-Planning Model for Embodied Grounding and Navigation
Authors: Zihan Wang; Seungjun Lee; Guangzhao Dai; Gim Hee Lee
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Embodied agents face a critical dilemma that end-to-end models lack interpretability and explicit 3D reasoning, while modular systems ignore cross-component interdependencies and synergies. To bridge this gap, we propose the Dynamic 3D Vision-Language-Planning Model (D3D-VLP). Our model introduces two key innovations: 1) A Dynamic 3D Chain-of-Thought (3D CoT) that unifies planning, grounding, navigation, and question answering within a single 3D-VLM and CoT pipeline; 2) A Synergistic Learning from Fragmented Supervision (SLFS) strategy, which uses a masked autoregressive loss to learn from massive and partially-annotated hybrid data. This allows different CoT components to mutually reinforce and implicitly supervise each other. To this end, we construct a large-scale dataset with 10M hybrid samples from 5K real scans and 20K synthetic scenes that are compatible with online learning methods such as RL and DAgger. Our D3D-VLP achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple benchmarks, including Vision-and-Language Navigation (R2R-CE, REVERIE-CE, NavRAG-CE), Object-goal Navigation (HM3D-OVON), and Task-oriented Sequential Grounding and Navigation (SG3D). Real-world mobile manipulation experiments further validate the effectiveness.
WorldReel: 4D Video Generation with Consistent Geometry and Motion Modeling
Authors: Shaoheng Fang; Hanwen Jiang; Yunpeng Bai; Niloy J. Mitra; Qixing Huang
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Recent video generators achieve striking photorealism, yet remain fundamentally inconsistent in 3D. We present WorldReel, a 4D video generator that is natively spatio-temporally consistent. WorldReel jointly produces RGB frames together with 4D scene representations, including pointmaps, camera trajectory, and dense flow mapping, enabling coherent geometry and appearance modeling over time. Our explicit 4D representation enforces a single underlying scene that persists across viewpoints and dynamic content, yielding videos that remain consistent even under large non-rigid motion and significant camera movement.We train WorldReel by carefully combining synthetic and real data: synthetic data provides precise 4D supervision (geometry, motion, and camera), while real videos contribute visual diversity and realism. This blend allows WorldReel to generalize to in-the-wild footage while preserving strong geometric fidelity. Extensive experiments demonstrate that WorldReel sets a new state-of-the-art for consistent video generation with dynamic scenes and moving cameras, improving metrics of geometric consistency, motion coherence, and reducing view-time artifacts over competing methods. We believe that WorldReel brings video generation closer to 4D-consistent world modeling, where agents can render, interact, and reason about scenes through a single and stable spatiotemporal representation.

Property-Informed Diffusion-Based Text-to-Microstructure Generation
Authors: Bingxuan Dai; Hongsong Wang; Jie Gui
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Designing 3D metamaterial microstructures that meet the intended functions remains a major challenge, as it typically requires domain expertise, iterative simulations, and extensive manual tuning. Existing work on inverse design that automatically generates microstructures based on desired target properties often suffers from limited design diversity and faces challenges in ensuring the physical feasibility of the generated structures. To address this issue, a property-informed diffusion-based network is proposed that enables the generation of 3D microstructures directly from textual descriptions. Unlike traditional property conditioning methods, our approach leverages rich guidance in terms of semantics and physical properties in the text input to support diverse structure synthesis. To enforce consistency between the generated structures and the target textual prompts, a dual alignment strategy is adopted, including contrastive text-structure alignment and test-time reward-guided alignment. Experimental results show that the model is capable of generating semantically meaningful and physically plausible structures across a wide range of material categories. The proposed framework has good potential for interactive microstructure design and opens up new directions for combining language-based interfaces with inverse material discovery.

Authors: Arthur Moreau; Richard Shaw; Michal Nazarczuk; Jisu Shin; Thomas Tanay; Zhensong Zhang; Songcen Xu; Eduardo Pérez-Pellitero
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models enable real-time scene generation but are hindered by suboptimal pixel-aligned primitive placement, which relies on a dense, rigid grid that limits both quality and efficiency. We introduce a new feed-forward architecture that detects 3D Gaussian primitives at a sub-pixel level, replacing the pixel grid with an adaptive, "Off-The-Grid" distribution. Inspired by keypoint detection, our decoder learns to locally distribute primitives across image patches. We also provide an Adaptive Density mechanism by assigning varying number of primitives per patch based on Shannon entropy. We combine the proposed decoder with a pre-trained 3D reconstruction backbone and train them end-to-end using photometric supervision without any 3D annotation. The resulting pose-free model generates photorealistic 3DGS scenes in seconds, achieving state-of-the-art novel view synthesis for feed-forward models. It outperforms competitors while using far fewer primitives, demonstrating a more accurate and efficient allocation that captures fine details and reduces artifacts.
Improving Diffusion Generalization with Weak-to-Strong Segmented Guidance
Authors: Liangyu Yuan; Yufei Huang; Mingkun Lei; Tong Zhao; Ruoyu Wang; Changxi Chi; Yiwei Wang; Chi Zhang
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Diffusion models generate synthetic images through an iterative refinement process. However, the misalignment between the simulation-free objective and the iterative process often causes accumulated gradient error along the sampling trajectory, which leads to unsatisfactory results and a failure to generalize. Guidance techniques like Classifier Free Guidance (CFG) and AutoGuidance (AG) alleviate this by extrapolating between the main and inferior signal for stronger generalization. Despite empirical success, the effective operational regimes of prevalent guidance methods are still under-explored, leading to ambiguity when selecting the appropriate guidance method given a precondition. In this work, we first conduct synthetic comparisons to isolate and demonstrate the effective regime of guidance methods represented by CFG and AG from the perspective of weak-to-strong principle. Based on this, we propose a hybrid instantiation called SEG under the principle, taking the benefits of both. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the W2S principle along with SEG can be migrated into the training objective, improving the generalization ability of unguided diffusion models. We validate our approach with comprehensive experiments. At inference time, evaluations on SD3 and SD3.5 confirm that SEG outperforms existing training-free guidance variants. Training-time experiments on transformer architectures demonstrate the effective migration and performance gains in both conditional and unconditional settings.

IDperturb: Enhancing Variation in Synthetic Face Generation via Angular Perturbations
Authors: Fadi Boutros; Eduarda Caldeira; Tahar Chettaoui; Naser Damer
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Synthetic data has emerged as a practical alternative to authentic face datasets for training face recognition (FR) systems, especially as privacy and legal concerns increasingly restrict the use of real biometric data. Recent advances in identity-conditional diffusion models have enabled the generation of photorealistic and identity-consistent face images. However, many of these models suffer from limited intra-class variation, an essential property for training robust and generalizable FR models. In this work, we propose IDPERTURB, a simple yet effective geometric-driven sampling strategy to enhance diversity in synthetic face generation. IDPERTURB perturbs identity embeddings within a constrained angular region of the unit hyper-sphere, producing a diverse set of embeddings without modifying the underlying generative model. Each perturbed embedding serves as a conditioning vector for a pre-trained diffusion model, enabling the synthesis of visually varied yet identity-coherent face images suitable for training generalizable FR systems. Empirical results demonstrate that training FR on datasets generated using IDPERTURB yields improved performance across multiple FR benchmarks, compared to existing synthetic data generation approaches. Code and generated datasets are publicly available https://github.com/fdbtrs/IDperturb.
DMGD: Train-Free Dataset Distillation with Semantic-Distribution Matching in Diffusion Models
Authors: Qichao Wang; Yunhong Lu; Hengyuan Cao; Junyi Zhang; Min Zhang
Venue: CVPR 2026 (main)

Abstract: Dataset distillation enables efficient training by distilling the information of large-scale datasets into significantly smaller synthetic datasets. Diffusion based paradigms have emerged in recent years, offering novel perspectives for dataset distillation. However, they typically necessitate additional fine-tuning stages, and effective guidance mechanisms remain underexplored. To address these limitations, we rethink diffusion based dataset distillation and propose a Dual Matching Guided Diffusion (DMGD) framework, centered on efficient training-free guidance. We first establish Semantic Matching via conditional likelihood optimization, eliminating the need for auxiliary classifiers. Furthermore, we propose a dynamic guidance mechanism that enhances the diversity of synthetic data while maintaining semantic alignment. Simultaneously, we introduce an optimal transport (OT) based Distribution Matching approach to further align with the target distribution structure. To ensure efficiency, we develop two enhanced strategies for diffusion based framework: Distribution Approximate Matching and Greedy Progressive Matching. These strategies enable effective distribution matching guidance with minimal computational overhead. Experimental results on ImageNet-Woof, ImageNet-Nette, and ImageNet-1K demonstrate that our training-free approach achieves significant improvements, outperforming state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods requiring additional fine-tuning by average accuracy gains of 2.1%, 5.4%, and 2.4%, respectively.
