Occlusion-Aware SORT: Observing Occlusion for Robust Multi-Object Tracking

Multi-object tracking (MOT) involves analyzing object trajectories and counting the number of objects in video sequences. However, 2D MOT faces challenges due to positional cost confusion arising from partial occlusion. To address this issue, we present the novel Occlusion-Aware SORT (OA-SORT) framework, a plug-and-play and training-free framework that includes the Occlusion-Aware Module (OAM), the Occlusion-Aware Offset (OAO), and the Bias-Aware Momentum (BAM). Specifically, OAM analyzes the occlusion status of objects, where a Gaussian Map (GM) is introduced to reduce background influence. In contrast, OAO and BAM leverage the OAM-described occlusion status to mitigate cost confusion and suppress estimation instability. Comprehensive evaluations on the DanceTrack, SportsMOT, and MOT17 datasets demonstrate the importance of occlusion handling in MOT. On the DanceTrack test set, OA-SORT achieves 63.1% and 64.2% in HOTA and IDF1, respectively. Furthermore, integrating the Occlusion-Aware framework into the four additional trackers improves HOTA and IDF1 by an average of 2.08% and 3.05%, demonstrating the reusability of the occlusion awareness.

SurGo-R1: Benchmarking and Modeling Contextual Reasoning for Operative Zone in Surgical Video

Minimally invasive surgery has dramatically improved patient operative outcomes, yet identifying safe operative zones remains challenging in critical phases, requiring surgeons to integrate visual cues, procedural phase, and anatomical context under high cognitive load. Existing AI systems offer binary safety verification or static detection, ignoring the phase-dependent nature of intraoperative reasoning. We introduce ResGo, a benchmark of laparoscopic frames annotated with Go Zone bounding boxes and clinician-authored rationales covering phase, exposure quality reasoning, next action and risk reminder. We introduce evaluation metrics that treat correct grounding under incorrect phase as failures, revealing that most vision-language models cannot handle such tasks and perform poorly. We then present SurGo-R1, a model optimized via RLHF with a multi-turn phase-then-go architecture where the model first identifies the surgical phase, then generates reasoning and Go Zone coordinates conditioned on that context. On unseen procedures, SurGo-R1 achieves 76.6% phase accuracy, 32.7 mIoU, and 54.8% hardcore accuracy, a 6.6$\times$ improvement over the mainstream generalist VLMs. Code, model and benchmark will be available at https://github.com/jinlab-imvr/SurGo-R1

Categorize Radio Interference using component and temporal analysis

Radio frequency interference (RFI) is a significant challenge faced by today's radio astronomers. While most past efforts were devoted to cleaning the RFI from the data, we develop a novel method for categorizing and cataloguing RFI for forensic purpose. We present a classifier that categorizes RFI into different types based on features extracted using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Fourier analysis. The classifier can identify narrowband non-periodic RFI above 2 sigma, narrowband periodic RFI above 3 sigma, and wideband impulsive RFI above 5 sigma with F1 scores between 0.87 and 0.91 in simulation. This classifier could be used to identify the sources of RFI as well as to clean RFI contamination (particularly in pulsar search). In the long-term analysis of the categorized RFI, we found a special type of drifting periodic RFI that is detrimental to pulsar search. We also found evidences of an increased rate of impulsive RFI when the telescope is pointing toward the cities. These results demonstrate this classifier's potential as a forensic tool for RFI environment monitoring of radio telescopes.
