Dominant methods consider it as generic image classification, which uses model scale to implicitly learn stroke structure. Structural-prior efficiency---the principle that explicitly encoding script…

To enable these controls, we introduce AcFlow, an inference-time controller that t…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Monocular 3D hand and body mesh recovery often suffers from severe occlusion and ambiguity. Traditional deterministic methods typically regress a single optimal solution, leading to overconfident predictions. In this paper, we introduce an exploration--exploitation parad…

To address this, we propose a few-shot regression framework that combines Vision Transformer (ViT) feature embeddings, clustering-based…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dense 3D depth perception fails under smoke, fog, and darkness because optical sensors cannot penetrate airborne particulates. mmWave radar remains usable and measures range accurately under these conditions, but its small aperture limits angular resolution. We present G…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate modelling of illumination is central to realistic image synthesis and scene understanding. Yet, there is little exploration into whether image generative models are good at this task or whether physical plausibility remains a key challenge for them. Clearly, sig…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10789v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffeomorphic image registration is central to medical image analysis, enabling anatomically consistent alignment across subjects. Most learning-based diffeomorphic methods model autonomous ODEs(ordinary differential equations) by parameterizing a stationary velocity fie…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10801v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Velocity-aware pitch control is standard, but under a broadcast viewport half the players are off screen and on-screen velocities come from a drifting calibration. We ask at which layer of broadcast off-ball analysis velocity changes the answer. Inheriting our off-screen…

We introduce TrajFusionNet+, a novel transformer-based model for pedestrian crossing intention prediction. TrajFus…

The overpainted area is given by a trimap, where white-annotated pixels must be edited, gray-annotated pi…

However, effectively processing this data remains a significant challenge due to its mul…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10851v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Few-shot learning is commonly evaluated under protocols that pre-train a model on a large auxiliary set whose classes are disjoint from the target episodes yet drawn from the same visual domain. This paper examines whether such protocols truly reflect low-data learning…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10855v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) enable robotic per- ception by associating visual observations with natural-language concepts. Yet their performance in coastal environments remains largely unexplored. We introduce a densely labeled coastal dataset containing more than 1,00…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10898v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Crystal-orientation maps are physical fields defined only up to crystal symmetry; electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) resolves them experimentally, but acquisition-time constraints limit spatial resolution. Unlike conventional images, EBSD data lie on the quotient sp…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Texture recognition remains challenging for modern vision models because discriminative evidence is often carried by higher-order spatial statistics rather than by object shape alone. While Vision Transformers provide strong long-range modeling capacity, their standard o…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.10943v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The integration of large language models (LLMs) into video generation has enabled rapid text-to-video creation and improved visual quality. However, it still falls short of professional filmmaking, where cinematographic language is less refined than human-crafted camera…
Read at sourcearXiv:2609.11022v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A model first sees an image from one physical measurement experiment, such as how far a block coasted, and must answer a question about a new trial, such as whether the block will pass a target after a fixed push. The initial experiment may provide enough information to…
