TokenLight: Precise Lighting Control in Images using Attribute Tokens
2026-04-16 17:59:50Sumit Chaturvedi, Yannick Hold-Geoffroy, Mengwei Ren, Jingyuan Liu, He Zhang, Yiqun Mei, Julie Dorsey, Zhixin ShuAbstract
This paper presents a method for image relighting that enables precise and continuous control over multiple illumination attributes in a photograph. We formulate relighting as a conditional image generation task and introduce attribute tokens to encode distinct lighting factors such as intensity, color, ambient illumination, diffuse level, and 3D light positions. The model is trained on a large-scale synthetic dataset with ground-truth lighting annotations, supplemented by a small set of real captures to enhance realism and generalization. We validate our approach across a variety of relighting tasks, including controlling in-scene lighting fixtures and editing environment illumination using virtual light sources, on synthetic and real images. Our method achieves state-of-the-art quantitative and qualitative performance compared to prior work. Remarkably, without explicit inverse rendering supervision, the model exhibits an inherent understanding of how light interacts with scene geometry, occlusion, and materials, yielding convincing lighting effects even in traditionally challenging scenarios such as placing lights within objects or relighting transparent materials plausibly.

Enhancing time-frequency resolution with optimal transport and barycentric fusion of multiple spectrogram
2026-04-16 14:23:59David Valdivia, Elsa Cazelles, C\'edric F\'evotteAbstract
Time-frequency representations, such as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), are fundamental tools for analyzing non-stationary signals. However, their ability to achieve sharp localization in both time and frequency is inherently limited by the Gabor-Heisenberg uncertainty principle. In this paper, we address this limitation by introducing a method to generate super-resolution spectrograms through the fusion of two or more spectrograms with varying resolutions. Specifically, we compute the super-resolution spectrogram as the barycenter of input spectrograms using optimal transport (OT) divergences. Unlike existing fusion approaches, our method does not require the input spectrograms to share the same time-frequency grid. Instead, the input spectrograms can be computed using any STFT parameters, and the resulting super-resolution spectrogram can be defined on an arbitrary user-specified grid. We explore various OT divergences based on different transportation costs. Notably, we introduce a novel transportation cost that preserves time-frequency geometry while significantly reducing computational complexity compared to standard Wasserstein barycenters. We adopt the unbalanced OT framework and derive a new block majorization-minimization algorithm for efficient barycenter computation. We validate the proposed method on controlled synthetic signals and recorded speech using both quantitative and qualitative evaluations. The results show that our approach combines the best localization properties of the input spectrograms and outperforms an unsupervised state-of-the-art fusion method.

MetaDent: Labeling Clinical Images for Vision-Language Models in Dentistry
2026-04-16 10:56:54Meng-Xun Li, Wen-Hui Deng, Zhi-Xing Wu, Chun-Xiao Jin, Jia-Min Wu, Yue Han, James Kit Hon Tsoi, Gui-Song Xia, Cui HuangAbstract
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in medical image analysis, yet their application in intraoral photography remains largely underexplored due to the lack of fine-grained, annotated datasets and comprehensive benchmarks. To address this, we present MetaDent, a comprehensive resource that includes (1) a novel and large-scale dentistry image dataset collected from clinical, public, and web sources; (2) a semi-structured annotation framework designed to capture the hierarchical and clinically nuanced nature of dental photography; and (3) comprehensive benchmark suites for evaluating state-of-the-art VLMs on clinical image understanding. Our labeling approach combines a high-level image summary with point-by-point, free-text descriptions of abnormalities. This method enables rich, scalable, and task-agnostic representations. We curated 60,669 dental images from diverse sources and annotated a representative subset of 2,588 images using this meta-labeling scheme. Leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), we derive standardized benchmarks: approximately 15K Visual Question Answering (VQA) pairs and an 18-class multi-label classification dataset, which we validated with human review and error analysis to justify that the LLM-driven transition reliably preserves fidelity and semantic accuracy. We then evaluate state-of-the-art VLMs across VQA, classification, and image captioning tasks. Quantitative results reveal that even the most advanced models struggle with a fine-grained understanding of intraoral scenes, achieving moderate accuracy and producing inconsistent or incomplete descriptions in image captioning. We publicly release our dataset, annotations, and tools to foster reproducible research and accelerate the development of vision-language systems for dental applications.

Integrating Object Detection, LiDAR-Enhanced Depth Estimation, and Segmentation Models for Railway Environments
2026-04-16 08:39:37Enrico Francesco Giannico, Federico Nesti, Gianluca D'Amico, Mauro Marinoni, Edoardo Carosio, Filippo Salotti, Salvatore Sabina, Giorgio ButtazzoAbstract
Obstacle detection in railway environments is crucial for ensuring safety. However, very few studies address the problem using a complete, modular, and flexible system that can both detect objects in the scene and estimate their distance from the vehicle. Most works focus solely on detection, others attempt to identify the track, and only a few estimate obstacle distances. Additionally, evaluating these systems is challenging due to the lack of ground truth data. In this paper, we propose a modular and flexible framework that identifies the rail track, detects potential obstacles, and estimates their distance by integrating three neural networks for object detection, track segmentation, and monocular depth estimation with LiDAR point clouds. To enable a reliable and quantitative evaluation, the proposed framework is assessed using a synthetic dataset (SynDRA), which provides accurate ground truth annotations, allowing for direct performance comparison with existing methods. The proposed system achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) as low as 0.63 meters by integrating monocular depth maps with LiDAR, enabling not only accurate distance estimates but also spatial perception of the scene.

ASGNet: Adaptive Spectrum Guidance Network for Automatic Polyp Segmentation
2026-04-16 08:10:20Yanguang Sun, Hengmin Zhang, Jianjun Qian, Jian Yang, Lei LuoAbstract
Early identification and removal of polyps can reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer. However, the diverse morphologies, complex backgrounds and often concealed nature of polyps make polyp segmentation in colonoscopy images highly challenging. Despite the promising performance of existing deep learning-based polyp segmentation methods, their perceptual capabilities remain biased toward local regions, mainly because of the strong spatial correlations between neighboring pixels in the spatial domain. This limitation makes it difficult to capture the complete polyp structures, ultimately leading to sub-optimal segmentation results. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive spectrum guidance network, called ASGNet, which addresses the limitations of spatial perception by integrating spectral features with global attributes. Specifically, we first design a spectrum-guided non-local perception module that jointly aggregates local and global information, therefore enhancing the discriminability of polyp structures, and refining their boundaries. Moreover, we introduce a multi-source semantic extractor that integrates rich high-level semantic information to assist in the preliminary localization of polyps. Furthermore, we construct a dense cross-layer interaction decoder that effectively integrates diverse information from different layers and strengthens it to generate high-quality representations for accurate polyp segmentation. Extensive quantitative and qualitative results demonstrate the superiority of our ASGNet approach over 21 state-of-the-art methods across five widely-used polyp segmentation benchmarks. The code will be publicly available at: this https URL.

2026-04-16 07:30:20David Exler, Nils Friederich, Martin Kr\"uger, John Jbeily, Mario Vitacolonna, R\"udiger Rudolf, Ralf Mikut, Markus ReischlAbstract
Myotubes are multinucleated muscle fibers serving as key model systems for studying muscle physiology, disease mechanisms, and drug responses. Mechanistic studies and drug screening thereby rely on quantitative morphological readouts such as diameter, length, and branching degree, which in turn require precise three-dimensional instance segmentation. Yet established pretrained biomedical segmentation models fail to generalize to this domain due to the absence of large annotated myotube datasets. We introduce a geometry-driven synthesis pipeline that models individual myotubes via polynomial centerlines, locally varying radii, branching structures, and ellipsoidal end caps derived from real microscopy observations. Synthetic volumes are rendered with realistic noise, optical artifacts, and CycleGAN-based Domain Adaptation (DA). A compact 3D U-Net with self-supervised encoder pretraining, trained exclusively on synthetic data, achieves a mean IPQ of 0.22 on real data, significantly outperforming three established zero-shot segmentation models, demonstrating that biophysics-driven synthesis enables effective instance segmentation in annotation-scarce biomedical domains.

Depth-Aware Image and Video Orientation Estimation
2026-04-15 15:38:56Muhammad Z. Alam, Larry Stetsiuk, M. Umair Mukati, Zeeshan KaleemAbstract
This paper introduces a novel approach for image and video orientation estimation by leveraging depth distribution in natural images. The proposed method estimates the orientation based on the depth distribution across different quadrants of the image, providing a robust framework for orientation estimation suited for applications such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), autonomous navigation, and interactive surveillance systems. To further enhance fine-scale perceptual alignment, we incorporate depth gradient consistency (DGC) and horizontal symmetry analysis (HSA), enabling precise orientation correction. This hybrid strategy effectively exploits depth cues to support spatial coherence and perceptual stability in immersive visual content. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the proposed approach, outperforming existing techniques across diverse scenarios.

Remote Sensing Image Super-Resolution for Imbalanced Textures: A Texture-Aware Diffusion Framework
2026-04-15 15:36:49Enzhuo Zhang, Sijie Zhao, Dilxat Muhtar, Zhenshi Li, Xueliang Zhang, Pengfeng XiaoAbstract
Generative diffusion priors have recently achieved state-of-the-art performance in natural image super-resolution, demonstrating a powerful capability to synthesize photorealistic details. However, their direct application to remote sensing image super-resolution (RSISR) reveals significant shortcomings. Unlike natural images, remote sensing images exhibit a unique texture distribution where ground objects are globally stochastic yet locally clustered, leading to highly imbalanced textures. This imbalance severely hinders the model's spatial perception. To address this, we propose TexADiff, a novel framework that begins by estimating a Relative Texture Density Map (RTDM) to represent the texture distribution. TexADiff then leverages this RTDM in three synergistic ways: as an explicit spatial conditioning to guide the diffusion process, as a loss modulation term to prioritize texture-rich regions, and as a dynamic adapter for the sampling schedule. These modifications are designed to endow the model with explicit texture-aware capabilities. Experiments demonstrate that TexADiff achieves superior or competitive quantitative metrics. Furthermore, qualitative results show that our model generates faithful high-frequency details while effectively suppressing texture hallucinations. This improved reconstruction quality also results in significant gains in downstream task performance. The source code of our method can be found at this https URL.

PartNerFace: Part-based Neural Radiance Fields for Animatable Facial Avatar Reconstruction
2026-04-15 14:28:44Xianggang Yu, Lingteng Qiu, Xiaohang Ren, Guanying Chen, Shuguang Cui, Xiaoguang Han, Baoyuan WangAbstract
We present PartNerFace, a part-based neural radiance fields approach, for reconstructing animatable facial avatar from monocular RGB videos. Existing solutions either simply condition the implicit network with the morphable model parameters or learn an imaginary canonical radiance field, making them fail to generalize to unseen facial expressions and capture fine-scale motion details. To address these challenges, we first apply inverse skinning based on a parametric head model to map an observed point to the canonical space, and then model fine-scale motions with a part-based deformation field. Our key insight is that the deformation of different facial parts should be modeled differently. Specifically, our part-based deformation field consists of multiple local MLPs to adaptively partition the canonical space into different parts, where the deformation of a 3D point is computed by aggregating the prediction of all local MLPs by a soft-weighting mechanism. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method generalizes well to unseen expressions and is capable of modeling fine-scale facial motions, outperforming state-of-the-art methods both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Rethinking Image-to-3D Generation with Sparse Queries: Efficiency, Capacity, and Input-View Bias
2026-04-15 14:15:02Zhiyuan Xu, Jiuming Liu, Yuxin Chen, Masayoshi Tomizuka, Chenfeng Xu, Chensheng PengAbstract
We present SparseGen, a novel framework for efficient image-to-3D generation, which exhibits low input-view bias while being significantly faster. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on dense volumetric grids, triplanes, or pixel-aligned primitives, we model scenes with a compact sparse set of learned 3D anchor queries and a learned expansion operator that decodes each transformed query into a small local set of 3D Gaussian primitives. Trained under a rectified-flow reconstruction objective without 3D supervision, our model learns to allocate representation capacity where geometry and appearance matter, achieving significant reductions in memory and inference time while preserving multi-view fidelity. We introduce quantitative measures of input-view bias and utilization to show that sparse queries reduce overfitting to conditioning views while being representationally efficient. Our results argue that sparse set-latent expansion is a principled, practical alternative for efficient 3D generative modeling.

MCPThreatHive: Automated Threat Intelligence for Model Context Protocol Ecosystems
2026-04-15 13:19:22Yi Ting Shen, Kentaroh Toyoda, Alex LeungAbstract
The rapid proliferation of Model Context Protocol (MCP)-based agentic systems has introduced a new category of security threats that existing frameworks are inadequately equipped to address. We present MCPThreatHive, an open-source platform that automates the end-to-end lifecycle of MCP threat intelligence: from continuous, multi-source data collection through AI-driven threat extraction and classification, to structured knowledge graph storage and interactive visualization. The platform operationalizes the MCP-38 threat taxonomy, a curated set of 38 MCP-specific threat patterns mapped to STRIDE, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, and OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications. A composite risk scoring model provides quantitative prioritization. Through a comparative analysis of representative existing MCP security tools, we identify three critical coverage gaps that MCPThreatHive addresses: incomplete compositional attack modeling, absence of continuous threat intelligence, and lack of unified multi-framework classification.

DiffMagicFace: Identity Consistent Facial Editing of Real Videos
2026-04-15 13:13:04Huanghao Yin, Shenkun Xu, Kanle Shi, Junhai Yong, Bin WangAbstract
Text-conditioned image editing has greatly benefitted from the advancements in Image Diffusion Models. However, extending these techniques to facial video editing introduces challenges in preserving facial identity throughout the source video and ensuring consistency of the edited subject across frames. In this paper, we introduce DiffMagicFace, a unique video editing framework that integrates two fine-tuned models for text and image control. These models operate concurrently during inference to produce video frames that maintain identity features while seamlessly aligning with the editing semantics. To ensure the consistency of the edited videos, we develop a dataset comprising images showcasing various facial perspectives for each edited subject. The creation of a data set is achieved through rendering techniques and the subsequent application of optimization algorithms. Remarkably, our approach does not depend on video datasets but still delivers high-quality results in both consistency and content. The excellent effect holds even for complex tasks like talking head videos and distinguishing closely related categories. The videos edited using our framework exhibit parity with videos that are made using traditional rendering software. Through comparative analysis with current state-of-the-art methods, our framework demonstrates superior performance in both visual appeal and quantitative metrics.

Cognitive Offloading in Agile Teams: How Artificial Intelligence Reshapes Risk Assessment and Planning Quality
2026-04-15 12:48:29Adriana Caraeni, Alexander Shick, Andrew LanAbstract
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have shown promise in automating key aspects of Agile project management, yet their impact on team cognition remains underexplored. In this work, we investigate cognitive offloading in Agile sprint planning by conducting a controlled, three-condition experiment comparing AI-only, human-only, and hybrid planning models on a live client deliverable at a mid-sized digital agency. Using quantitative metrics -- including estimation accuracy, rework rates, and scope change recovery time -- alongside qualitative indicators of planning robustness, we evaluate each model's effectiveness beyond raw efficiency. We find that while AI-only planning minimizes time and cost, it significantly degrades risk capture rates and increases rework due to unstated assumptions, whereas human-only planning excels at adaptability but incurs substantial overhead. Drawing on these findings, we propose a theoretical framework for hybrid AI-human sprint planning that assigns algorithmic tools to estimation and backlog formatting while mandating human deliberation for risk assessment and ambiguity resolution. Our results challenge the assumption that efficiency equates to effectiveness, offering actionable governance strategies for organizations seeking to augment rather than erode team cognition.

DiT as Real-Time Rerenderer: Streaming Video Stylization with Autoregressive Diffusion Transformer
2026-04-15 05:52:43Hengye Lyu, Zisu Li, Yue Hong, Yueting Weng, Jiaxin Shi, Hanwang Zhang, Chen LiangAbstract
Recent advances in video generation models has significantly accelerated video generation and related downstream tasks. Among these, video stylization holds important research value in areas such as immersive applications and artistic creation, attracting widespread attention. However, existing diffusion-based video stylization methods struggle to maintain stability and consistency when processing long videos, and their high computational cost and multi-step denoising make them difficult to apply in practical scenarios. In this work, we propose RTR-DiT (DiT as Real-Time Rerenderer), a steaming video stylization framework built upon Diffusion Transformer. We first fine-tune a bidirectional teacher model on a curated video stylization dataset, supporting both text-guided and reference-guided video stylization tasks, and subsequently distill it into a few-step autoregressive model via post-training with Self Forcing and Distribution Matching Distillation. Furthermore, we propose a reference-preserving KV cache update strategy that not only enables stable and consistent processing of long videos, but also supports real-time switching between text prompts and reference images. Experimental results show that RTR-DiT outperforms existing methods in both text-guided and reference-guided video stylization tasks, in terms of quantitative metrics and visual quality, and demonstrates excellent performance in real-time long video stylization and interactive style-switching applications.

ReSS: Learning Reasoning Models for Tabular Data Prediction via Symbolic Scaffold
2026-04-15 01:43:00Chenlang Yi, Gang Li, Zizhan Xiong, Tue Minh Cao, Yanmin Gong, My T. Thai, Tianbao YangAbstract
Tabular data remains prevalent in high-stakes domains such as healthcare and finance, where predictive models are expected to provide both high accuracy and faithful, human-understandable reasoning. While symbolic models offer verifiable logic, they lack semantic expressiveness. Meanwhile, general-purpose LLMs often require specialized fine-tuning to master domain-specific tabular reasoning. To address the dual challenges of scalable data curation and reasoning consistency, we propose ReSS, a systematic framework that bridges symbolic and neural reasoning models. ReSS leverages a decision-tree model to extract instance-level decision paths as symbolic scaffolds. These scaffolds, alongside input features and labels, guide an LLM to generate grounded natural-language reasoning that strictly adheres to the underlying decision logic. The resulting high-quality dataset is used to fine-tune a pretrained LLM into a specialized tabular reasoning model, further enhanced by a scaffold-invariant data augmentation strategy to improve generalization and explainability. To rigorously assess faithfulness, we introduce quantitative metrics including hallucination rate, explanation necessity, and explanation sufficiency. Experimental results on medical and financial benchmarks demonstrate that ReSS-trained models improve traditional decision trees and standard fine-tuning approaches up to $10\%$ while producing faithful and consistent reasoning

SEDTalker: Emotion-Aware 3D Facial Animation Using Frame-Level Speech Emotion Diarization
2026-04-14 22:55:09Farzaneh Jafari, Stefano Berretti, Anup BasuAbstract
We introduce SEDTalker, an emotion-aware framework for speech-driven 3D facial animation that leverages frame-level speech emotion diarization to achieve fine-grained expressive control. Unlike prior approaches that rely on utterance-level or manually specified emotion labels, our method predicts temporally dense emotion categories and intensities directly from speech, enabling continuous modulation of facial expressions over time. The diarized emotion signals are encoded as learned embeddings and used to condition a speech-driven 3D animation model based on a hybrid Transformer-Mamba architecture. This design allows effective disentanglement of linguistic content and emotional style while preserving identity and temporal coherence. We evaluate our approach on a large-scale multi-corpus dataset for speech emotion diarization and on the EmoVOCA dataset for emotional 3D facial animation. Quantitative results demonstrate strong frame-level emotion recognition performance and low geometric and temporal reconstruction errors, while qualitative results show smooth emotion transitions and consistent expression control. These findings highlight the effectiveness of frame-level emotion diarization for expressive and controllable 3D talking head generation.

SSD-GS: Scattering and Shadow Decomposition for Relightable 3D Gaussian Splatting
2026-04-14 22:47:04Iris Zheng, Guojun Tang, Alexander Doronin, Paul Teal, Fang-Lue ZhangAbstract
We present SSD-GS, a physically-based relighting framework built upon 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) that achieves high-quality reconstruction and photorealistic relighting under novel lighting conditions. In physically-based relighting, accurately modeling light-material interactions is essential for faithful appearance reproduction. However, existing 3DGS-based relighting methods adopt coarse shading decompositions, either modeling only diffuse and specular reflections or relying on neural networks to approximate shadows and scattering. This leads to limited fidelity and poor physical interpretability, particularly for anisotropic metals and translucent materials. To address these limitations, SSD-GS decomposes reflectance into four components: diffuse, specular, shadow, and subsurface scattering. We introduce a learnable dipole-based scattering module for subsurface transport, an occlusion-aware shadow formulation that integrates visibility estimates with a refinement network, and an enhanced specular component with an anisotropic Fresnel-based model. Through progressive integration of all components during training, SSD-GS effectively disentangles lighting and material properties, even for unseen illumination conditions, as demonstrated on the challenging OLAT dataset. Experiments demonstrate superior quantitative and perceptual relighting quality compared to prior methods and pave the way for downstream tasks, including controllable light source editing and interactive scene relighting.

Bias at the End of the Score
2026-04-14 21:20:47Salma Abdel Magid, Grace Guo, Esin Tureci, Amaya Dharmasiri, Vikram V. Ramaswamy, Hanspeter Pfister, Olga RussakovskyAbstract
Reward models (RMs) are inherently non-neutral value functions designed and trained to encode specific objectives, such as human preferences or text-image alignment. RMs have become crucial components of text-to-image (T2I) generation systems where they are used at various stages for dataset filtering, as evaluation metrics, as a supervisory signal during optimization of parameters, and for post-generation safety and quality filtering of T2I outputs. While specific problems with the integration of RMs into the T2I pipeline have been studied (e.g. reward hacking or mode collapse), their robustness and fairness as scoring functions remains largely unknown. We conduct a large scale audit of RM robustness with respect to demographic biases during T2I model training and generation. We provide quantitative and qualitative evidence that while originally developed as quality measures, RMs encode demographic biases, which cause reward-guided optimization to disproportionately sexualize female image subjects reinforce gender/racial stereotypes, and collapse demographic diversity. These findings highlight shortcomings in current reward models, challenge their reliability as quality metrics, and underscore the need for improved data collection and training procedures to enable more robust scoring.

Explainable Fall Detection for Elderly Care via Temporally Stable SHAP in Skeleton-Based Human Activity Recognition
2026-04-14 20:15:00Mohammad Saleh, Azadeh TabatabaeiAbstract
Fall detection in elderly care requires not only accurate classification but also reliable explanations that clinicians can trust. However, existing post-hoc explainability methods, when applied frame-by-frame to sequential data, produce temporally unstable attribution maps that clinicians cannot reliably act upon. To address this issue, we propose a lightweight and explainable framework for skeleton-based fall detection that combines an efficient LSTM model with T-SHAP, a temporally aware post-hoc aggregation strategy that stabilizes SHAP-based feature attributions over contiguous time windows. Unlike standard SHAP, which treats each frame independently, T-SHAP applies a linear smoothing operator to the attribution sequence, reducing high-frequency variance while preserving the theoretical guarantees of Shapley values, including local accuracy and consistency. Experiments on the NTU RGB+D Dataset demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves 94.3% classification accuracy with an end-to-end inference latency below 25 milliseconds, satisfying real-time constraints on mid-range hardware and indicating strong potential for deployment in clinical monitoring scenarios. Quantitative evaluation using perturbation-based faithfulness metrics shows that T-SHAP improves explanation reliability compared to standard SHAP (AUP: 0.89 vs. 0.91) and Grad-CAM (0.82), with consistent improvements observed across five-fold cross-validation, indicating enhanced explanation reliability. The resulting attributions consistently highlight biomechanically relevant motion patterns, including lower-limb instability and changes in spinal alignment, aligning with established clinical observations of fall dynamics and supporting their use as transparent decision aids in long-term care environments
