Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Network for Single-Shot 3D Reconstruction from Fringe Patterns

Abstract

Deep learning facilitates rapid single shot three dimensional (3D) reconstruction using fringe projection profilometry (FPP), but recovering accurate surface height from a single high frequency fringe image remains challenging because both long-range spatial consistency and fine geometric details must be preserved. Convolutional networks are limited in modeling long range dependencies, whereas window-based Transformers establish global interactions only progressively with increasing depth. To address these limitations, a hybrid Mamba Transformer network is proposed for fringe to height regression. The network adopts a Swin based U shaped architecture and introduces visual state space modeling at the intermediate resolution encoder stage. An axial and dilated vision state space (ADVSS) block is further developed to enhance prescan feature encoding through local, dilated, and axial depthwise convolutions while retaining four directional selective scanning. This design combines linear complexity long range modeling with direction aware preservation of local fringe structures. Experiments on a publicly available FPP dataset show that the proposed method outperforms hNet, SwinConvUNet, UHRNet, and HiDNet in mean absolute error(MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), absolute relative error, and structural similarity index measure (SSIM). Using only one deformed fringe image, the proposed method achieves an RMSE of 0.548 mm and an SSIM of 0.9985, reducing RMSE by 65.2% and 59.6% relative to UHRNet and HiDNet, respectively. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of combining selective state space modeling with hierarchical window based attention for accurate single-shot FPP reconstruction.

Patch-level Gaze Distribution Prediction for Gaze Following

Gaze following aims to predict where a person is looking in a scene, by predicting the target location, or indicating that the target is located outside the image. Recent works detect the gaze target by training a heatmap regression task with a pixel-wise mean-square error (MSE) loss, while formulating the in/out prediction task as a binary classification task. This training formulation puts a strict, pixel-level constraint in higher resolution on the single annotation available in training, and does not consider annotation variance and the correlation between the two subtasks. To address these issues, we introduce the patch distribution prediction (PDP) method. We replace the in/out prediction branch in previous models with the PDP branch, by predicting a patch-level gaze distribution that also considers the outside cases. Experiments show that our model regularizes the MSE loss by predicting better heatmap distributions on images with larger annotation variances, meanwhile bridging the gap between the target prediction and in/out prediction subtasks, showing a significant improvement in performance on both subtasks on public gaze following datasets.

STATIC: Surface-normal-guided Two-branch Alignment and Temporal Integration for Consistent Video Depth Estimation

Video depth estimation is essential for applications such as autonomous driving, AR/VR, and robotics. Recent transformer-based single-image monocular depth estimation models perform well on a single image but struggle with depth consistency across video frames. Traditional methods aim to improve temporal consistency using multi-frame temporal modules or explicit priors like optical flow and camera parameters. However, these approaches face issues such as high memory use, reduced performance with dynamic or irregular motion, and a heavy reliance on the accuracy of external motion estimators. We propose STATIC, a novel model that independently learns temporal consistency in geometrically stable and unstable regions using only two adjacent frames. By leveraging intrinsic geometric cues rather than external motion priors, STATIC generates a depth-derived geometry-aware difference mask from surface normals to identify regions with inter-frame geometric variation by measuring directional variance. For geometrically stable regions, the Masked Stable (MS) module enhances temporal consistency by focusing on structurally stable regions. For geometrically unstable regions, the Surface Normal Similarity (SNS) module models inter-frame correspondences and ensures temporal consistency by measuring feature similarities between frames. A final refinement integrates the independently learned stable and unstable features, enabling STATIC to improve consistent depth prediction across consecutive frames. Experiments on KITTI, NYUv2, and Sintel demonstrate strong depth accuracy and temporal consistency, as well as stable performance across the tested frame-rate and camera-motion conditions.

PixFoundation: Are We Heading in the Right Direction with Pixel-level Vision Foundation Models?

Multiple works have emerged to push the boundaries of multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) towards pixel-level understanding. The current trend is to train MLLMs with pixel-level grounding supervision in terms of masks on large-scale labelled data and specialized decoders for the segmentation task. However, we show that such MLLMs when evaluated on recent challenging vision-centric benchmarks, exhibit a weak ability in visual question answering (VQA). Surprisingly, some of these methods even downgrade the grounding ability of MLLMs that were never trained with such pixel-level supervision. In this work, we propose two novel challenging benchmarks with paired evaluation for both VQA and grounding. We demonstrate that simple baselines that are not unified achieve performance that matches or surpasses some of the pixel-level MLLMs. Our paired benchmarks and evaluation enable additional analysis on whether the failure stems from VQA and/or grounding abilities. Furthermore, we propose a paired prompt sensitivity analysis on both the language and visual prompts tailored for the grounding task. Our benchmarking pushes pixel-level MLLMs to improve in both accuracy and robustness, without sacrificing language abilities. More importantly, we study the research question of ``When does grounding emerge in MLLMs with respect to the output tokens?'' We propose a post-hoc interpretability tool that can be plugged into any MLLM to study the aforementioned question. We show that grounding does not necessarily coincide with the exact referring expression in the output, but can coincide with the object parts, its location, appearance, context or state.
