2026 Fast Multi-view Consistent 3D Editing with Video Priors
abstract
Text-driven 3D editing enables user-friendly 3D object or scene editing with text instructions. Due to the lack of multi-view consistency priors, existing methods typically resort to employ 2D generation or editing models to process per-view individually, followed by iterative 2D-3D-2D updating. However, these methods are not only time-consuming but also prone to yielding over-smoothed results, since iterative process averages the different editing signals gathered from different views. In this paper, we propose, an early and pioneering work of generative Video Prior based 3D Editing, ViP3DE in short, to repurpose the temporal consistency priors from pre-trained video generation models to achieve consistent 3D editing within a single forward pass. Our key insight is to condition the video generation model on a single edited view to generate other consistent edited views for 3D updating directly, thereby bypassing iterative editing paradigm. First, 3D updating requires edited views to be paired with specific camera poses. To this end, we propose \textit{motion-preserved noise blending} for the video model to generate edited views at predefined camera poses. In addition, we introduce \textit{geometrically aware denoising} to further enhance multi-view consistency by integrating 3D geometric priors into video models. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed ViP3DE can achieve high-quality 3D editing results even within a single forward pass, significantly outperforming existing methods in both editing quality and editing time cost.

2026 BEVDilation: LiDAR-Centric Multi-Modal Fusion for 3D Object Detection
abstract
Integrating LiDAR and camera information in the bird's eye view (BEV) representation has demonstrated its effectiveness in 3D object detection. However, because of the fundamental disparity in geometric accuracy between these sensors, indiscriminate fusion in previous methods often leads to degraded performance. In this paper, we propose BEVDilation, a novel LiDAR-centric framework that prioritizes LiDAR information in the fusion. By formulating image BEV features as implicit guidance rather than naive concatenation, our strategy effectively alleviates the spatial misalignment caused by image depth estimation errors. Furthermore, the image guidance can effectively help the LiDAR-centric paradigm to address the sparsity and semantic limitations of point clouds. Specifically, we propose a Sparse Voxel Dilation Block that mitigates the inherent point sparsity by densifying foreground voxels through image priors. Moreover, we introduce a Semantic-Guided BEV Dilation Block to enhance the LiDAR feature diffusion processing with image semantic guidance and long-range context capture. On the challenging nuScenes benchmark, BEVDilation achieves better performance than state-of-the-art methods while maintaining competitive computational efficiency. Importantly, our LiDAR-centric strategy demonstrates greater robustness to depth noise compared to naive fusion.

2025 BadVLA: Towards Backdoor Attacks on Vision-Language-Action Models via Objective-Decoupled Optimization
abstract
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have advanced robotic control by enabling end-to-end decision-making directly from multimodal inputs. However, their tightly coupled architectures expose novel security vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional adversarial perturbations, backdoor attacks represent a stealthier, persistent, and practically significant threat—particularly under the emerging Training-as-a-Service paradigm—but remain largely unexplored in the context of VLA models. To address this gap, we propose **BadVLA**, a backdoor attack method based on Objective-Decoupled Optimization, which for the first time exposes the backdoor vulnerabilities of VLA models. Specifically, it consists of a two-stage process: (1) explicit feature-space separation to isolate trigger representations from benign inputs, and (2) conditional control deviations that activate only in the presence of the trigger, while preserving clean-task performance. Empirical results on multiple VLA benchmarks demonstrate that BadVLA consistently achieves near-100\% attack success rates with minimal impact on clean task accuracy. Further analyses confirm its robustness against common input perturbations, task transfers, and model fine-tuning, underscoring critical security vulnerabilities in current VLA deployments. Our work offers the first systematic investigation of backdoor vulnerabilities in VLA models, highlighting an urgent need for secure and trustworthy embodied model design practices.

2024 Voxel Mamba: Group-Free State Space Models for Point Cloud based 3D Object Detection
abstract
Serialization-based methods, which serialize the 3D voxels and group them into multiple sequences before inputting to Transformers, have demonstrated their effectiveness in 3D object detection. However, serializing 3D voxels into 1D sequences will inevitably sacrifice the voxel spatial proximity. Such an issue is hard to be addressed by enlarging the group size with existing serialization-based methods due to the quadratic complexity of Transformers with feature sizes. Inspired by the recent advances of state space models (SSMs), we present a Voxel SSM, termed as Voxel Mamba, which employs a group-free strategy to serialize the whole space of voxels into a single sequence. The linear complexity of SSMs encourages our group-free design, alleviating the loss of spatial proximity of voxels. To further enhance the spatial proximity, we propose a Dual-scale SSM Block to establish a hierarchical structure, enabling a larger receptive field in the 1D serialization curve, as well as more complete local regions in 3D space. Moreover, we implicitly apply window partition under the group-free framework by positional encoding, which further enhances spatial proximity by encoding voxel positional information. Our experiments on Waymo Open Dataset and nuScenes dataset show that Voxel Mamba not only achieves higher accuracy than state-of-the-art methods, but also demonstrates significant advantages in computational efficiency.

2021 HAT: Hierarchical Aggregation Transformers for Person Re-identification
abstract
Recently, with the advance of deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), person Re-Identification (Re-ID) has witnessed great success in various applications.However, with limited receptive fields of CNNs, it is still challenging to extract discriminative representations in a global view for persons under non-overlapped cameras.Meanwhile, Transformers demonstrate strong abilities of modeling long-range dependencies for spatial and sequential data.In this work, we take advantages of both CNNs and Transformers, and propose a novel learning framework named Hierarchical Aggregation Transformer (HAT) for image-based person Re-ID with high performance.To achieve this goal, we first propose a Deeply Supervised Aggregation (DSA) to recurrently aggregate hierarchical features from CNN backbones.With multi-granularity supervision, the DSA can enhance multi-scale features for person retrieval, which is very different from previous methods.Then, we introduce a Transformer-based Feature Calibration (TFC) to integrate low-level detail information as the global prior for high-level semantic information.The proposed TFC is inserted to each level of hierarchical features, resulting in great performance improvements.To our best knowledge, this work is the first to take advantages of both CNNs and Transformers for image-based person Re-ID.Comprehensive experiments on four large-scale Re-ID benchmarks demonstrate that our method shows better results than several state-of-the-art methods.The code is released at https://github.com/AI-Zhpp/HAT.
