2026 H2C: Hippocampal Circuit-Inspired Continual Learning for Lifelong Trajectory Prediction in Autonomous Driving
abstract
Deep learning (DL) has shown state-of-the-art performance in trajectory prediction, which is critical to safe navigation in autonomous driving (AD). However, most DL-based methods suffer from catastrophic forgetting, where adapting to a new distribution may cause significant performance degradation in previously learned ones. Such inability to retain learned knowledge limits their applicability in the real world, where AD systems need to operate across varying scenarios with dynamic distributions. As revealed by neuroscience, the hippocampal circuit plays a crucial role in memory replay, effectively reconstructing learned knowledge based on limited resources. Inspired by this, we propose a hippocampal circuit-inspired continual learning method (H2C) for trajectory prediction across varying scenarios. H2C retains prior knowledge by selectively recalling a small subset of learned samples. First, two complementary strategies are developed to select the subset to represent learned knowledge. Specifically, one strategy maximizes inter-sample diversity to represent the distinctive knowledge, and the other estimates the overall knowledge by equiprobable sampling. Then, H2C updates via a memory replay loss function calculated by these selected samples to retain knowledge while learning new data. Experiments based on various scenarios from the INTERACTION dataset are designed to evaluate H2C. Experimental results show that H2C reduces catastrophic forgetting of DL baselines by 22.71% on average in a task-free manner, without relying on manually informed distributional shifts. The implementation is available at https://github.com/BIT-Jack/H2C-lifelong.

2025 AGLLDiff: Guiding Diffusion Models Towards Unsupervised Training-free Real-world Low-light Image Enhancement
abstract
Existing low-light image enhancement (LIE) methods have achieved noteworthy success in solving synthetic distortions, yet they often fall short in practical applications. The limitations arise from two inherent challenges in real-world LIE: 1) the collection of distorted/clean image pairs is often impractical and sometimes even unavailable, and 2) accurately modeling complex degradations presents a non-trivial problem. To overcome them, we propose the Attribute Guidance Diffusion framework (AGLLDiff), a training-free method for effective real-world LIE. Instead of specifically defining the degradation process, AGLLDiff shifts the paradigm and models the desired attributes, such as image exposure, structure and color of normal-light images. These attributes are readily available and impose no assumptions about the degradation process, which guides the diffusion sampling process to a reliable high-quality solution space. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms the current leading unsupervised LIE methods across benchmarks in terms of distortion-based and perceptual-based metrics, and it performs well even in sophisticated wild degradation.

2025 DPLUT: Unsupervised Low-light Image Enhancement with Lookup Tables and Diffusion Priors
abstract
Low-light image enhancement (LIE) aims at precisely and efficiently recovering an image degraded in poor illumination environments. Recent advanced LIE techniques are using deep neural networks, which require lots of low-normal light image pairs, network parameters, and computational resources. As a result, their practicality is limited. In this work, we devise a novel unsupervised LIE framework based on diffusion priors and lookup tables (DPLUT) to achieve efficient low-light image recovery. The proposed approach comprises two critical components: a light adjustment lookup table (LLUT) and a noise suppression lookup table (NLUT). LLUT is optimized with a set of unsupervised losses. It aims at predicting pixel-wise curve parameters for the dynamic range adjustment of a specific image. NLUT is designed to remove the amplified noise after the light brightens. As diffusion models are sensitive to noise, diffusion priors are introduced to achieve high-performance noise suppression. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of visual quality and efficiency.

2025 Accelerated Diffusion via High-Low Frequency Decomposition for Pan-Sharpening
abstract
Pan-sharpening aims to preserve the spectral information of the multi-spectral (MS) image while leveraging the high-frequency details from the guided high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) image to enhance its spatial resolution. The key challenge is how to preserve the spectral information from the MS image and the spatial details from the PAN image as much as possible. Diffusion models have achieved favorable results in image restoration and synthesis tasks but suffer from excessive computational resource and time consumption. In this paper, we design a novel and computationally efficient diffusion-based pan-sharpening network that achieves accelerated diffusion while reducing task complexity by decoupling the high and low-frequency components of the fused image. Specifically, leveraging the information-preserving characteristic of the wavelet transformation, we introduce a Wavelet-based Low-frequency Diffusion Model (WLDM). WLDM generates the low-frequency coefficient of high-resolution MS (HRMS) image from the low-resolution MS (LRMS) image. This approach significantly reduces computational resources and complexity compared to the direct restoration of the HRMS image. Furthermore, we have devised a High-frequency Information Restoration Module (HIRM) to restore the high-frequency information in the HRMS image through the interaction of high-frequency coefficients from the PAN image in three directions. Extensive experiments on three different datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches in both quantitative metrics, qualitative metrics, and inference efficiency.

2025 Sp3ctralMamba: Physics-Driven Joint State Space Model for Hyperspectral Image Reconstruction
abstract
Hyperspectral image (HSI) reconstruction aims to restore the original 3D HSIs from the 2D hyperspectral snapshot compressive images (SCIs). The key to high-fidelity HSI reconstruction lies in designing refined spatial and spectral attention mechanisms, which are crucial for generating fine-grained representations of HSI based on the limited spatial and spectral information available in SCI. Recently, Mamba has demonstrated remarkable performance and efficiency in modeling spatial correlations. Its implicit attention mechanism generates three orders of magnitude more attention matrices than transformers, significantly raising the performance ceiling for HSI reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a novel joint SSM network named Sp3ctralMamba for HSI reconstruction. Sp3ctralMamba integrates frequency domain knowledge and physical priors to enhance reconstruction quality. Specifically, we first perform hierarchical decomposition of the 3D HSI embedding to mitigate the negative impact of distant bands on reconstruction. Next, we design a joint SSM block S3Mamba (S3MAB) to perform parallel scans of the embeddings from different bands. In addition to the conventional vanilla scan, S3MAB introduces a local scanning scheme to address the reconstruction challenges posed by the spatial sparsity of spectral information. Furthermore, a spiral scanning scheme in the frequency domain is incorporated to enhance the order correlation between different frequency signals. Finally, we introduce energy priors and structural priors to constrain the generation of spectral and spatial representations during the training process. Extensive experiments on both simulated and real datasets demonstrate that Sp3ctralMamba significantly elevates HSI reconstruction performance to a new level, surpassing SOTA methods in both quantitative and qualitative metrics.

2025 Track Any Anomalous Object: A Granular Video Anomaly Detection Pipeline
abstract
Video anomaly detection (VAD) is crucial in scenarios such as surveillance and autonomous driving, where timely detection of unexpected activities is essential. Albeit existing methods have primarily focused on detecting anomalous objects in videos—either by identifying anomalous frames or objects—they often neglect finer-grained analysis, such as anomalous pixels, which limits their ability to capture a broader range of anomalies. To address this challenge, we propose an innovative VAD framework called Track Any Anomalous Object (TAO), which introduces a Granular Video Anomaly Detection Framework that, for the first time, integrates the detection of multiple fine-grained anomalous objects into a unified framework. Unlike methods that assign anomaly scores to every pixel at each moment, our approach transforms the problem into pixel-level tracking of anomalous objects. By linking anomaly scores to subsequent tasks such as image segmentation and video tracking, our method eliminates the need for threshold selection and achieves more precise anomaly localization, even in long and challenging video sequences. Experiments on extensive datasets demonstrate that TAO achieves state-of-the-art performance, setting a new progress for VAD by providing a practical, granular, and holistic solution.

2025 SnowMaster: Comprehensive Real-world Image Desnowing via MLLM with Multi-Model Feedback Optimization
abstract
Snowfall presents significant challenges for visual data processing, necessitating specialized desnowing algorithms. However, existing models often fail to generalize effectively due to their heavy reliance on synthetic datasets. Furthermore, current real-world snowfall datasets are limited in scale and lack dedicated evaluation metrics designed specifically for snowfall degradation, thus hindering the effective integration of real snowy images into model training to reduce domain gaps. To address these challenges, we first introduce RealSnow10K, a large-scale, high-quality dataset consisting of over 10,000 annotated real-world snowy images. In addition, we curate a preference dataset comprising 36,000 expert-ranked image pairs, enabling the adaptation of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to better perceive snowy image quality through our innovative Multi-Model Preference Optimization (MMPO). Finally, we propose the SnowMaster, which employs MMPO-enhanced MLLM to perform accurate snowy image evaluation and pseudo-label filtering for semi-supervised training. Experiments demonstrate that SnowMaster delivers superior desnowing performance under real-world conditions.

2025 JarvisIR: Elevating Autonomous Driving Perception with Intelligent Image Restoration
abstract
Vision-centric perception systems struggle with unpredictable and coupled weather degradations in the wild. Current solutions are often limited, as they either depend on specific degradation priors or suffer from significant domain gaps. To enable robust and autonomous operation in real-world conditions, we propose JarvisIR, a VLM-powered agent that leverages the VLM as a controller to manage multiple expert restoration models. To further enhance system robustness, reduce hallucinations, and improve generalizability in real-world adverse weather, JarvisIR employs a novel two-stage framework consisting of supervised fine-tuning and human feedback alignment. Specifically, to address the lack of paired data in real-world scenarios, the human feedback alignment enables the VLM to be fine-tuned effectively on large-scale real-world data in an unsupervised manner. To support the training and evaluation of JarvisIR, we introduce CleanBench, a comprehensive dataset consisting of high-quality and large-scale instruction-responses pairs, including 150K synthetic entries and 80K real entries. Extensive experiments demonstrate that JarvisIR exhibits superior decision-making and restoration capabilities. Compared with existing methods, it achieves a 50% improvement in the average of all perception metrics on CleanBench-Real.

2025 Genhaze: Pioneering Controllable One-Step Realistic Haze Generation for Real-World Dehazing
abstract
Real-world image dehazing is crucial for enhancing visual quality in computer vision applications. However, existing physics-based haze generation paradigms struggle to model the complexities of real-world haze and lack controllability, limiting the performance of existing baselines on real-world images. In this paper, we introduce GenHaze, a pioneering haze generation framework that enables the one-step generation of high-quality, reference-controllable hazy images. GenHaze leverages the pre-trained latent diffusion model (LDM) with a carefully designed clean-to-haze generation protocol to produce realistic hazy images. Additionally, by leveraging its fast, controllable generation of paired highquality hazy images, we illustrate that existing dehazing baselines can be unleashed in a simple and efficient manner. Extensive experiments indicate that GenHaze achieves visually convincing and quantitatively superior hazy images. It also significantly improves multiple existing dehazing models across 7 non-reference metrics with minimal fine-tuning epochs. Our work demonstrates that LDM possesses the potential to generate realistic degradations, providing an effective alternative to prior generation pipelines.

2025 Pan-LUT: Efficient Pan-sharpening via Learnable Look-Up Tables
abstract
Recently, deep learning-based pan-sharpening algorithms have achieved notable advancements over traditional methods. However, deep learning-based methods incur substantial computational overhead during inference, especially with large images. This excessive computational demand limits the applicability of these methods in real-world scenarios, particularly in the absence of dedicated computing devices such as GPUs and TPUs. To address these challenges, we propose Pan-LUT, a novel learnable look-up table (LUT) framework for pan-sharpening that strikes a balance between performance and computational efficiency for large remote sensing images. Our method makes it possible to process 15K$\times$15K remote sensing images on a 24GB GPU. To finely control the spectral transformation, we devise the PAN-guided look-up table (PGLUT) for channel-wise spectral mapping. To effectively capture fine-grained spatial details, we introduce the spatial details look-up table (SDLUT). Furthermore, to adaptively aggregate channel information for generating high-resolution multispectral images, we design an adaptive output look-up table (AOLUT). Our model contains fewer than 700K parameters and processes a 9K$\times$9K image in under 1 ms using one RTX 2080 Ti GPU, demonstrating significantly faster performance compared to other methods. Experiments reveal that Pan-LUT efficiently processes large remote sensing images in a lightweight manner, bridging the gap to real-world applications. Furthermore, our model surpasses SOTA methods in full-resolution scenes under real-world conditions, highlighting its effectiveness and efficiency. We also extend our method to general image fusion tasks.

2025 JarvisArt: Liberating Human Artistic Creativity via an Intelligent Photo Retouching Agent
abstract
Photo retouching has become integral to contemporary visual storytelling, enabling users to capture aesthetics and express creativity. While professional tools such as Adobe Lightroom offer powerful capabilities, they demand substantial expertise and manual effort. In contrast, existing AI-based solutions provide automation but often suffer from limited adjustability and poor generalization, failing to meet diverse and personalized editing needs. To bridge this gap, we introduce JarvisArt, a multi-modal large language model (MLLM)-driven agent that understands user intent, mimics the reasoning process of professional artists, and intelligently coordinates over 200 retouching tools within Lightroom. JarvisArt undergoes a two-stage training process: an initial Chain-of-Thought supervised fine-tuning to establish basic reasoning and tool-use skills, followed by Group Relative Policy Optimization for Retouching (GRPO-R) to further enhance its decision-making and tool proficiency. We also propose the Agent-to-Lightroom Protocol to facilitate seamless integration with Lightroom. To evaluate performance, we develop MMArt-Bench, a novel benchmark constructed from real-world user edits. JarvisArt demonstrates user-friendly interaction, superior generalization, and fine-grained control over both global and local adjustments, paving a new avenue for intelligent photo retouching. Notably, it outperforms GPT-4o with a 60\% improvement in average pixel-level metrics on MMArt-Bench for content fidelity, while maintaining comparable instruction-following capabilities.

2025 IR3D-Bench: Evaluating Vision-Language Model Scene Understanding as Agentic Inverse Rendering
abstract
Vision-language models (VLMs) excel at descriptive tasks, but whether they truly understand scenes from visual observations remains uncertain. We introduce IR3D-Bench, a benchmark challenging VLMs to demonstrate understanding through active creation rather than passive recognition. Grounded in the analysis-by-synthesis paradigm, IR3D-Bench tasks Vision-Language Agents (VLAs) with actively using programming and rendering tools to recreate the underlying 3D structure of an input image, achieving agentic inverse rendering through tool use. This ''understanding-by-creating'' approach probes the tool-using generative capacity of VLAs, moving beyond the descriptive or conversational capacity measured by traditional scene understanding benchmarks. We provide a comprehensive suite of metrics to evaluate geometric accuracy, spatial relations, appearance attributes, and overall plausibility. Initial experiments on agentic inverse rendering powered by various state-of-the-art VLMs highlight current limitations, particularly in visual precision rather than basic tool usage. IR3D-Bench, including data and evaluation protocols, is released to facilitate systematic study and development of tool-using VLAs towards genuine scene understanding by creating.

2025 HumanCrafter: Synergizing Generalizable Human Reconstruction and Semantic 3D Segmentation
abstract
Recent advances in generative models have achieved high-fidelity in 3D human reconstruction, yet their utility for specific tasks (e.g., human 3D segmentation) remains constrained. We propose HumanCrafter, a unified framework that enables the joint modeling of appearance and human-part semantics from a single image in a feed-forward manner. Specifically, we integrate human geometric priors in the reconstruction stage and self-supervised semantic priors in the segmentation stage. To address labeled 3D human datasets scarcity, we further develop an interactive annotation procedure for generating high-quality data-label pairs. Our pixel-aligned aggregation enables cross-task synergy, while the multi-task objective simultaneously optimizes texture modeling fidelity and semantic consistency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HumanCrafter surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods in both 3D human-part segmentation and 3D human reconstruction **from a single image**.

2025 DynamicVerse: A Physically-Aware Multimodal Framework for 4D World Modeling
abstract
Understanding the dynamic physical world, characterized by its evolving 3D structure, real-world motion, and semantic content with textual descriptions, is crucial for human-agent interaction and enables embodied agents to perceive and act within real environments with human‑like capabilities. However, existing datasets are often derived from limited simulators or utilize traditional Structure-from-Motion for up-to-scale annotation and offer limited descriptive captioning, which restricts the capacity of foundation models to accurately interpret real-world dynamics from monocular videos, commonly sourced from the internet. To bridge these gaps, we introduce **DynamicVerse**, a physical‑scale, multimodal 4D world modeling framework for dynamic real-world video. We employ large vision, geometric, and multimodal models to interpret metric-scale static geometry, real-world dynamic motion, instance-level masks, and holistic descriptive captions. By integrating window-based Bundle Adjustment with global optimization, our method converts long real-world video sequences into a comprehensive 4D multimodal format. DynamicVerse delivers a large-scale dataset consists of 100K+ videos with 800K+ annotated masks and 10M+ frames from internet videos. Experimental evaluations on three benchmark tasks, namely video depth estimation, camera pose estimation, and camera intrinsics estimation, demonstrate that our 4D modeling achieves superior performance in capturing physical-scale measurements with greater global accuracy than existing methods.

2025 Fusion2Void: Unsupervised Multi-Focus Image Fusion Based on Image Inpainting
abstract
Multi-focus image fusion aims to integrate clear segments from different partially focused images, creating an ‘all-in-focus’ composite. Due to the lack of ground-truth for multi-focus image fusion, supervised deep learning methods are deemed inappropriate for this task. In this paper, we present an unsupervised approach for multi-focus image fusion, named Fusion2Void. Fusion2Void ingeniously tackles the challenge of missing ground-truth by framing image inpainting as an auxiliary task. Specifically, Fusion2Void utilizes a fusion network to merge focused regions from multiple source images. Following the fusion process, image patches in the source images are randomly dropped to construct an additional image inpainting task. Subsequently, an image inpainting network uses the fused image as a guide to restore the missing content in the source images. The missing content in the source images includes both focused and defocused regions. Restoring focused image patches is significantly more challenging than restoring their defocused counterparts due to their inclusion of more high-frequency details. If the focused image patches are effectively restored, the repair of the defocused image patches becomes notably easier. Therefore, the image inpainting network implicitly compels the fused image to incorporate all focused content from the source images, as these can be utilized to restore the missing focused regions in the source images perfectly. Based on image inpainting, the fusion network generates ‘all-in-focus’ images in an unsupervised manner. Experiments on several synthetic and real-world datasets highlight Fusion2Void’s state-of-the-art performance relative to other methods.

2025 Frequency Decoupled Domain-Irrelevant Feature Learning for Pan-Sharpening
abstract
Pan-sharpening aims to generate high-detail multi-spectral images (HRMS) through the fusion of panchromatic (PAN) and multi-spectral (MS) images. However, existing pan-sharpening methods often suffer from significant performance degradation when dealing with out-of-distribution data, as they assume the training and test datasets are independent and identically distributed. To overcome this challenge, we propose a novel frequency domain-irrelevant feature learning framework that exhibits exceptional generalization capabilities. Our approach involves parallel extraction and processing of domain-irrelevant information from the amplitude and phase components of the input images. Specifically, we design a frequency information separation module to extract the amplitude and phase components of the paired images. The learnable high-pass filter is then employed to eliminate domain-specific information from the amplitude spectrums. After that, we devised two specialized sub-networks (AFL-Net and PFL-Net) to perform targeted learning of the frequency domain-irrelevant information. This allows our method to effectively capture the complementary domain-irrelevant information contained in the amplitude and phase spectra of the images. Finally, the information fusion and restoration module dynamically adjusts the feature channel weights, enabling the network to output high-quality HRMS images. Through this frequency domain-irrelevant feature learning framework, our method balances generalization capability and network performance on the distribution of training dataset. Extensive experiments conducted on various satellite datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method for generalized pan-sharpening. Our proposed network outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of both quantitative metrics and visual quality, showcasing its superior ability to handle diverse, out-of-distribution data.

2025 Learning Diffusion High-Quality Priors for Pan-Sharpening: A Two-Stage Approach With Time-Aware Adapter Fine-Tuning
abstract
Pan-sharpening aims to enhance the spatial resolution of the low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) image by incorporating high-frequency details from the panchromatic (PAN) image, while maintaining the spectral qualities of the LRMS image. Recent advancements in diffusion models have shown remarkable capabilities in image restoration and generation. However, simply applying diffusion models in pan-sharpening yields suboptimal outcomes in terms of fine-grained details and spectral fidelity. To this end, we introduce TA-DiffHQP, a two-stage approach that integrates the diffusion high-quality priors model (DiffHQP) and the time-aware adapter (TA-Adapter). Initially, we perform self-reconstruction pretraining DiffHQP with a fixed sampling strategy on approximately 24K high-resolution remote sensing datasets to explicitly model the high-quality texture details and spectral fidelity, after which we freeze most of DiffHQP’s parameters. In stage two, we integrate time-aware fusion adapters with the DiffHQP, enabling rapid adaptation to the pan-sharpening task. The TA-Adapters prioritize low-frequency main scenes during the early phases of the denoising process and refine high-frequency details in the later phases, achieving cross-modal information fusion from coarse to fine. Extensive experiments conducted on three satellite datasets demonstrate that our approach attains state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance over existing methods, revealing superior fusion outcomes in pan-sharpening.

2025 Toward Generalizable Pansharpening: Conditional Flow-Based Learning Guided by Implicit High-Frequency Priors
abstract
The goal of pansharpening is to restore the missing high-frequency details in the low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) image to generate its high-resolution multispectral (HRMS) counterpart by exploiting the high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) image as guidance. Previous research has predominantly focused on improving pansharpening performance for single satellites, often neglecting the challenge of generalization. Moreover, pansharpening is inherently an ill-posed problem. Precise and generalizable prior guidance is crucial for effectively addressing this issue. To this end, we propose conditional flow-based learning guided by implicit high-frequency priors (CFLIHPs) toward generalizable pansharpening. Specifically, we utilize implicit neural representation (INR) to precisely align implicit high-frequency texture priors from LRMS and PAN images within Fourier and gradient domains. The flow-based restoration module then leverages these priors as the guiding condition to restore domain-irrelevant high-frequency details, thereby facilitating effective cross-satellite generalization. Furthermore, to tackle the complex degradation process in real-world scenarios, we introduce noise perturbation to the high-frequency learning part, enhancing generalizability across diverse spatial resolutions and improving the robustness of our framework. Extensive experiments conducted on multiple satellite datasets demonstrate that our proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods, achieving superior performance and excellent generalization results in both cross-satellite scenarios and full-resolution scenes.

2024 Cross-Modality Interaction Network for Pan-Sharpening
abstract
Pan-sharpening seeks to generate a high-resolution multispectral (HRMS) image by merging the high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) image and its low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) counterpart. The main challenge lies in enhancing modality-aware features and efficiently integrating complementary information between PAN and MS pairs. To achieve desired fusion results, it is crucial to fully utilize both intramodality characteristics and intermodality relationships. Current research often overlooks the exploration of cross-modality relationships and neglects the enhancement of modality-aware features in pan-sharpening. In this work, we introduce an innovative pan-sharpening framework, named cross-modality interaction network (CMINet), which comprises three core designs: a modality-aware feature enhancement (MAFE) module to enhance the feature representation of both modalities, a cross-modality attention (CMA) module that effectively extracts the intramodality features and fully leverages the intermodality complementary information, and a modality alignment (MA) module to address modality-aware misalignment issue during fusion. Extensive experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of our proposed network and showcase its superior performance in comparison to other state-of-the-art approaches.

2024 Continual Interactive Behavior Learning With Traffic Divergence Measurement: A Dynamic Gradient Scenario Memory Approach
abstract
Developing autonomous vehicles (AVs) helps improve the road safety and traffic efficiency of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Accurately predicting the trajectories of traffic participants is essential to the decision-making and motion planning of AVs in interactive scenarios. Recently, learning-based trajectory predictors have shown state-of-the-art performance in highway or urban areas. However, most existing learning-based models trained with fixed datasets may perform poorly in continuously changing scenarios. Specifically, they may not perform well in learned scenarios after learning the new one. This phenomenon is called “catastrophic forgetting”. Few studies investigate trajectory predictions in continuous scenarios, where catastrophic forgetting may happen. To handle this problem, first, a novel continual learning (CL) approach for vehicle trajectory prediction is proposed in this paper. Then, inspired by brain science, a dynamic memory mechanism is developed by utilizing the measurement of traffic divergence between scenarios, which balances the performance and training efficiency of the proposed CL approach. Finally, datasets collected from different locations are used to design continual training and testing methods in experiments. Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves consistently high prediction accuracy in continuous scenarios without re-training, which mitigates catastrophic forgetting compared to non-CL approaches. The implementation of the proposed approach is publicly available athttps://github.com/BIT-Jack/D-GSM.

2023 CPLFormer: Cross-scale Prototype Learning Transformer for Image Snow Removal
abstract
Removing snow from a single image poses a significant challenge within the image restoration domain, as snowfall's effects are in various scales and forms. Existing methods have tried to tackle this issue by using multi-scale approaches, but their reliance on targeted design for handling each single-scale feature has resulted in unsatisfactory performance. This is primarily due to a lack of cross-scale knowledge, making it difficult to effectively handle degradations. To this end, we propose a novel approach, CPLFormer, which uses snow prototypes to own comprehensive clean scene understanding through learning from cross-scale features, outperforming convolutional network and vanilla transformer-based solutions. CPLFormer has several advantages: firstly, learnable snow prototypes learn global context information from multiple scales to uncover hidden clean cues; secondly, prototypes can propagate cross-scale information to each patch through cross-attention to assist with clean patch reconstruction; thirdly, CPLFormer surpasses advanced state-of-the-art desnowing networks and the prevalent universal image restoration transformers on six synthetic and real-world benchmark tests.

2023 Domain-irrelevant Feature Learning for Generalizable Pan-sharpening
abstract
Pan-sharpening aims to spatially enhance the low-resolution multispectral image (LRMS) by transferring high-frequency details from a panchromatic image (PAN) while preserving the spectral characteristics of LRMS. Previous arts mainly focus on how to learn a high-resolution multispectral image (HRMS) on the i.i.d. assumption. However, the distribution of training and testing data often encounters significant shifts in different satellites. To this end, this paper proposes a generalizable pan-sharpening network via domain-irrelevant feature learning. On the one hand, a structural preservation module (STP) is designed to fuse high-frequency information of PAN and LRMS. Our STP is performed on the gradient domain because it consists of structure and texture details that can generalize well on different satellites. On the other hand, to avoid spectral distortion while promoting the generalization ability, a spectral preservation module (SPP) is developed. The key design of SPP is to learn a phase fusion network of PAN and LRMS. The amplitude of LRMS, which contains 'satellite style' information is directly injected in different fusion stages. Extensive experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of our method against state-of-the-art methods in both single-satellite and cross-satellite scenarios.

2023 Learning High-frequency Feature Enhancement and Alignment for Pan-sharpening
abstract
Pan-sharpening aims to utilize the high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) image as a guidance to super-resolve the spatial resolution of the low-resolution multispectral (MS) image. The key challenge in pan-sharpening is how to effectively and precisely inject high-frequency edges and textures from the PAN image into the low-resolution MS image. To address this issue, we propose a High-frequency Feature Enhancement and Alignment Network (HFEAN) for effectively encouraging the high-frequency learning. To implement it, three core designs are customized: a Fourier convolution based efficient feature enhancement module (FEM), an implicit neural alignment module (INA), and a preliminary alignment module (Pre-align). To be specific, FEM employs the fast Fourier convolution with attention mechanism to achieve the mixed global-local receptive field on each scale of the high-frequency domain, thus yielding the informative latent codes. INA leverages implicit neural function to precisely align the latent codes from different scales in the continuous domain. In this way, the high frequency signals at different scales are represented as functions of continuous coordinates, enabling a precise feature alignment in a resolution-free manner. Pre-align is developed to further address the inherent misalignment between PAN and MS pairs. Extensive experiments over multiple satellite datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed network and demonstrate its favorable performance against the existing state-of-the-art methods both visually and quantitatively. Code is available at: https://github.com/Gracewangyy/HFEAN.

2022 An Ensemble Learning Framework for Vehicle Trajectory Prediction in Interactive Scenarios
abstract
Precisely modeling interactions and accurately predicting trajectories of surrounding vehicles are essential to the decision-making and path-planning of intelligent vehicles. This paper proposes a novel framework based on ensemble learning to improve the performance of trajectory predictions in interactive scenarios. The framework is termed Interactive Ensemble Trajectory Predictor (IETP). IETP assembles interaction-aware trajectory predictors as base learners to build an ensemble learner. Firstly, each base learner in IETP observes historical trajectories of vehicles in the scene. Then each base learner handles interactions between vehicles to predict trajectories. Finally, an ensemble learner is built to predict trajectories by applying two ensemble strategies on the predictions from all base learners. Predictions generated by the ensemble learner are final outputs of IETP. In this study, three experiments using different data are conducted based on the NGSIM dataset. Experimental results show that IETP improves the predicting accuracy and decreases the variance of errors compared to base learners. In addition, IETP exceeds baseline models with 50% of the training data, indicating that IETP is data-efficient. Moreover, the implementation of IETP is publicly available at https://github.com/BIT-Jack/IETP.
