Efficient visual backbone design remains crucial for resource-constrained computer vision applications. Inspired by the adaptive continuous-time dynamics observed in biological neurons, we propose FVNet, a novel lightweight architecture that integrates liquid neural dynamics for efficient and dynamic visual feature extraction. Central to FVNet is the Fluid Temporal Flow Unit (FTFU), which employs continuous-time equations with learnable time constants to capture spatio-temporal dependencies adaptively. By further stacking these units in a Multi-Phase Fluid Block (MPFB), our model processes features across parallel temporal scales, enabling context-aware feature encoding without incurring excessive computational overhead. Through a discrete closed-form solution, FVNet achieves the representational power of continuous-time models while avoiding the instability and overhead of iterative numerical solvers. Extensive experiments on various vision tasks demonstrate that FVNet achieves superior performance and efficiency over existing state-of-the-art lightweight networks.

Point Cloud Quality Assessment (PCQA) faces a critical disconnect: existing methods operate on a flawed single-perception paradigm, while human observers evaluate quality through dual cognitive streams: technical rationality and semantic sensibility. This fundamental mismatch routinely produces assessment failures in real-world scenarios where technical and semantic signals conflict. To address this, we introduce Dual-Stream Perception PCQA (DSP-PCQA), the first framework that explicitly models this perceptual duality through parallel networks thoroughly mirroring the human cognitive pathway. DSP-PCQA introduces three key innovations: (1) a Decoupled Focus Enhancer (DFE) that surgically isolates technical and semantic information using two targeted transformations; (2) a Context & Attribute Correlation Awareness (CACA) module that captures the dynamic, non-linear relationships between different views and sub-models characteristic of human visual processing; and (3) an Exchange-based Perceptual Injection (EPI) module that strategically transfers information between perception streams, simulating how humans integrate multiple perceptual dimensions. Extensive evaluations show DSP-PCQA outperforms state-of-the-art methods across multiple benchmarks. Most importantly, our method resolves the perceptual discord that plagues existing approaches, maintaining high accuracy even in the challenging boundary cases where technical quality and semantic significance diverge, precisely where conventional methods often struggle.
