Rethinking Handwritten Character Recognition

arXiv:2609.10572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Non-Latin handwritten character recognition (HCR) remains understudied. 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…

TrajFusionNet+: Transformer-Based Prediction of Pedestrian Crossing Intention via Fusion of Trajectory Representations and Scene Graphs

arXiv:2609.10806v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The pedestrian crossing intention task involves predicting whether pedestrians are likely to cross the road from the point of view of an autonomous vehicle. We introduce TrajFusionNet+, a novel transformer-based model for pedestrian crossing intention prediction. TrajFus…

Overpainting: Localized Context-aware Diffusion Image Editing

arXiv:2609.10811v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present "overpainting", an image editing operation which offers both control over the location of the edit and awareness of the previous content in that location. The overpainted area is given by a trimap, where white-annotated pixels must be edited, gray-annotated pi…

Evaluation of Vision-Language Models Across Diverse Coastal Environments

arXiv: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…
