Keepsake: Selective Spatial Memory for Long-Horizon Video Generation

Long-horizon camera-controlled video generation relies on persistent memory to maintain scene consistency. Existing systems follow two strategies to achieve this consistency. Full-history approaches retain all generated observations, causing unbounded storage and retrieval costs. Selective-construction approaches reduce redundancy, but make one-time retention decisions that are never revisited, even as an observation's value changes with the evolving memory bank. Both strategies leave a shared question unresolved: as the generated history evolves, which stored observations should still remain in memory? Our key insight is that the value of a stored observation is not fixed, but relational: it depends on the alternatives currently available in the memory bank. A view supported by many geometrically and visually similar substitutes can be relinquished with little loss of coverage, whereas an observation with few viable alternatives should remain regardless of age. We introduce Keepsake, an online, training-free controller for fixed-capacity spatial memory. At each update, Keepsake constructs a pose-appearance graph over retained and newly generated observations, combining camera-pose proximity with visual similarity. A retention priority jointly captures the number of strong substitutes and the similarity of the closest alternative, allowing Keepsake to continually reassess memory value, preserve observations with little alternative support, and evict highly replaceable ones under a fixed budget. The controller modifies only the persistent-memory update; the host generator, denoising schedule, and retrieval rule remain unchanged. Across MemCam and WorldMem, Keepsake improves FVD and LPIPS under a fixed memory budget. On 180-second MemCam trajectories, it retains only 32 of 5,397 frames while reducing FVD by 35.1%.

SloMoDeblur: A Large-Scale Smartphone Image Deblurring Dataset

Motion blur remains one of the most common and visually disruptive degradations in real-world smartphone imaging, yet existing deblurring benchmarks are often limited in scale, resolution, or domain relevance. This gap is especially pronounced for smartphones, where rolling shutter, small sensors, and ISP processing produce blur statistics that differ from GoPro/DSLR-based benchmarks. We introduce a large-scale smartphone-oriented deblurring dataset constructed from 240~fps slow-motion video. To approximate exposure-time radiance integration, we synthesize blur by temporally averaging a fixed window of $N=30$ consecutive frames, which corresponds to an effective exposure of $T=1/8$~second, and we select the temporally centered frame as the sharp ground truth. The resulting benchmark contains 42,045 paired blur--sharp images at $1920\times1080$ resolution spanning 843 distinct scenes, with a train/test split of 37,841/4,204 pairs. We benchmark multiple state-of-the-art deblurring models using PSNR and SSIM and observe consistent performance degradation relative to the baseline similarity between the input blurry images and ground truth, underscoring the realism and difficulty of the proposed data. We release the dataset and generation scripts via HuggingFace to facilitate the development and evaluation of robust, deployment-oriented deblurring methods.

CREST: Curvature-Regulated Event-Centric Sampling for Efficient Long-Video Understanding

Selecting informative frames from long videos is a combinatorial problem that existing methods address either through efficient heuristics without explicit modeling of query-conditioned temporal structure, or through multi stage retrieval pipelines with substantial preprocessing cost. We propose \textbf{CREST}, a training-free frame selection method grounded in the temporal geometry of query--frame relevance. CREST is based on the observation that relevance over time exhibits structured local variation: sharp curvature around salient events and flatter regions in redundant segments. By using local curvature to guide selection, CREST allocates a fixed frame budget more effectively across brief decisive events and slowly evolving evidence. Under a fixed backbone and frame budget, CREST achieves higher accuracy than AKS, a lightweight relevance--coverage baseline, on LongVideoBench and VideoMME, while retaining 93--95\% of the accuracy of MIRA, a stronger multi-stage retrieval pipeline, at only 3--4\% of its preprocessing cost.\footnote{Code and implementation details are included in the supplementary material and will be released publicly upon acceptance.} On TempRel, our diagnostic benchmark for temporal frame selection, CREST achieves a 6.88\% relative improvement over AKS. Pairwise LLM-as-a-judge evaluation further shows that CREST-selected frames yield more coherent frame-conditioned descriptions, with win rates of 60.58\% and 54.50\% on the two benchmarks. These results show that local temporal geometry provides a simple and efficient basis for long-video frame selection.

Aero-World: Action-Conditioned Aerial Video Generation from Inertial Controls

Foundation video models produce visually impressive results, but their use in embodied AI remains limited because they are primarily trained on natural language rather than low-level control signals. This limitation is especially pronounced for aerial flight, where motion occurs in unconstrained 6-DoF space and small errors in ego-motion can produce large trajectory drift. Generating aerial videos that follow fine-grained inertial actions can support scalable training and evaluation of aerial agents by providing a controllable proxy for real-world or expensive simulation data. To address this problem, we propose \textbf{Aero-World}, a method for converting a pretrained image-to-video diffusion model into a controllable aerial video generator. Aero-World injects sequences of translational acceleration and angular velocity into a pretrained latent diffusion transformer through an action-token stream. A frozen latent-space Physics Probe, trained independently on real video--IMU pairs, provides differentiable inertial-consistency supervision during LoRA finetuning while avoiding computationally expensive video decoding. We further propose \textbf{AeroBench}, a benchmark for evaluating whether generated drone videos adhere to low-level action signals. AeroBench uses Action Alignment Score (AAS) to measure agreement with commanded inertial actions and Physical Consistency Rate (PCR) to measure temporal motion stability. On AeroBench, Aero-World improves mean AAS from 57.7 to 63.6 over action-only finetuning and gives a stronger quality-control trade-off than AirScape, with lower FVD (596.5 vs. 1058.6), higher SSIM (0.595 vs. 0.505), and higher Flow-IMU correlation (0.44 vs. 0.20). These results suggest that frozen Physics Probe supervision is a practical mechanism for adapting pretrained video generators toward more action-aligned aerial motion.

From Attention to Frequency: Integration of Vision Transformer and FFT-ReLU for Enhanced Image Deblurring

Image deblurring is vital in computer vision, aiming to recover sharp images from blurry ones caused by motion or camera shake. While deep learning approaches such as CNNs and Vision Transformers (ViTs) have advanced this field, they often struggle with complex or high-resolution blur and computational demands. We propose a new dual-domain architecture that unifies Vision Transformers with a frequency-domain FFT-ReLU module, explicitly bridging spatial attention modeling and frequency sparsity. In this structure, the ViT backbone captures local and global dependencies, while the FFT-ReLU component enforces frequency-domain sparsity to suppress blur-related artifacts and preserve fine details. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that this architecture achieves superior PSNR, SSIM, and perceptual quality compared to state-of-the-art models. Both quantitative metrics, qualitative comparisons, and human preference evaluations confirm its effectiveness, establishing a practical and generalizable paradigm for real-world image restoration.

Blind Image Deblurring with FFT-ReLU Sparsity Prior

Blind image deblurring is the process of recovering a sharp image from a blurred one without prior knowledge about the blur kernel. It is a small data problem, since the key challenge lies in estimating the unknown degrees of blur from a single image or limited data, instead of learning from large datasets. The solution depends heavily on developing algorithms that effectively model the image degradation process. We introduce a method that leverages a prior which targets the blur kernel to achieve effective deblurring across a wide range of image types. In our extensive empirical analysis, our algorithm achieves results that are competitive with the state-of-the-art blind image deblurring algorithms, and it offers up to two times faster inference, making it a highly efficient solution.

An End-to-End Authentication Mechanism for Wireless Body Area Networks

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) ensures high-quality healthcare services by endowing distant and continual monitoring of patients' health conditions. The security and privacy of the sensitive health-related data transmitted through the WBAN should be preserved to maximize its benefits. In this regard, user authentication is one of the primary mechanisms to protect health data that verifies the identities of entities involved in the communication process. Since WBAN carries crucial health data, every entity engaged in the data transfer process must be authenticated. In literature, an end-to-end user authentication mechanism covering each communicating party is absent. Besides, most of the existing user authentication mechanisms are designed assuming that the patient's mobile phone is trusted. In reality, a patient's mobile phone can be stolen or comprised by malware and thus behaves maliciously. Our work addresses these drawbacks and proposes an end-to-end user authentication and session key agreement scheme between sensor nodes and medical experts in a scenario where the patient's mobile phone is semi-trusted. We present a formal security analysis using BAN logic. Besides, we also provide an informal security analysis of the proposed scheme. Both studies indicate that our method is robust against well-known security attacks. In addition, our scheme achieves comparable computation and communication costs concerning the related existing works. The simulation shows that our method preserves satisfactory network performance.
