ExMesh++: From Multi-View Images to Relightable UV-PBR Mesh Assets via Topology-Adaptive Reconstruction and Decomposition

Multi-view reconstruction extends beyond surface recovery to editable and relightable mesh assets. Such assets require well-formed topology, valid UV parameterization, and explicit PBR material maps. Existing surface reconstruction approaches optimize implicit fields, Gaussian primitives, or other intermediate representations. Converting them into such assets often requires surface extraction and texture baking. Inverse-rendering methods estimate materials and illumination, yet these components often remain tied to neural fields or point-based primitives rather than the final mesh. Joint optimization of geometry, materials, and lighting may also allow these variables to compensate for one another, leading to ambiguous decomposition. To address these limitations, we present ExMesh++, a staged framework for reconstructing relightable UV-PBR mesh assets from multi-view images. The first stage refines explicit mesh geometry and topology through adaptive vertex splitting and merging, while maintaining UV consistency as the topology changes. The second stage fixes the resulting mesh-UV carrier and optimizes UV-space PBR maps together with environment lighting. Building on this stable carrier, ExMesh++ models one-bounce diffuse indirect illumination through secondary-ray tracing with shared UV-PBR materials. Experiments demonstrate competitive geometry accuracy, strong relighting performance, and direct usability of the exported assets in standard DCC workflows.

Robust Multimodal Dynamic Object Segmentation

Dynamic object segmentation plays a critical role in many visual applications such as static scene reconstruction from dynamic videos. However, existing optical flow-based methods fail to ensure consistent static/dynamic segmentation along object boundaries, while 3D reconstruction-based approaches are highly sensitive to reconstruction errors. To address these limitations, we present a dynamic object segmentation framework that can generate both precise and complete dynamic masks by integrating multimodal cues including 2D point tracks, 3D reconstruction, and semantic information. We design a network combining Transformer architectures with feature clustering aggregation modules to perform static/dynamic classification of multimodal feature trajectories. It enables the model to adaptively determine which type of feature should dominate based on the characteristics of each scene, while also mitigating the impact of feature degradation. Additionally, we introduce a novel point-query-based SAM post-processing method capable of handling multiple objects within a single mask. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in both dynamic object segmentation and static scene reconstruction tasks.

ExMesh: Explicit Mesh Reconstruction with Topology Adaptation

Reconstructing surface meshes from multi-view images has remained a core challenge in recent years. Most existing methods, whether implicit or explicit, depend on intermediate representations and post-processing steps like Marching Cubes or TSDF fusion, often resulting in artifacts and fragmented geometry. Directly optimizing explicit meshes is a promising approach. However, it presents two critical challenges. The first is how to adaptively refine mesh topology to capture detail without introducing degenerate faces. The second is how to maintain consistent UV coordinates for high-fidelity texturing as the mesh structure evolves. To overcome these, we propose ExMesh, a novel framework that directly optimizes explicit meshes by integrating differentiable optimization with discrete topology updates. Specifically, we introduce an adaptive vertex splitting and merging strategy, along with real-time UV maintenance, to enable coarse-to-fine optimization while preserving geometric integrity. To our knowledge, ExMesh is the first framework to seamlessly integrate discrete topology operations into a continuous differentiable optimization pipeline. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ExMesh achieves a balance among accuracy, computational efficiency, and mesh conciseness.

Availability-Aware and Efficiency-Driven AI Service Chain Provisioning in Multi-Domain Edge Intelligence Cloud

In a multi-domain edge intelligence cloud (MDEIC) managed by multiple network operators, AI services are delivered by chains of virtual network functions (VNFs) executed in sequence, called AI service chains (AISCs). Therefore, achieving an efficient and economical AISC provisioning approach is essential. However, the interaction between the environmental characteristics (heterogeneity, resource constraints and limited information visibility) of MDEIC and the time-dependence of AISCs, introduces various challenges to AISC provisioning in MDEIC. In this paper, we first formulate the AISC provisioning problem as a partially observable stochastic game (POSG). Then, we propose a graph-and-time-based multi-agent AISC provisioning (GT-MAAISCP) approach to achieve the collaborative optimization of AISC provisioning cost, delay and availability. Specifically, each agent uses the graph-time dueling network (GTDN) architecture to extract network topology information and temporal relationships. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms benchmark approaches in MDEIC and also illustrate its performance under varying network topologies and different numbers of local EICs (LEICs).

AISC deployment in dynamic UAV-assisted MEC network: a reinforcement learning method based on heterogeneous graph attention neural network

Unmanned aerial vehicles-assisted mobile edge computing (UMEC) can execute compute-intensive and latency-critical artificial intelligence (AI) services, which can be provided by multiple UAVs collaborating in the air to perform inference tasks. Completing an AI service requires multiple inferences, each of which is implemented by an AI service chain consisting of multiple virtual network functions (VNFs). The application of AISC relies on an efficient AISC deployment strategy to determine which UAV to deploy VNF on. However, the UMEC network topology is highly dynamic due to the high-speed movement of UAVs or their departure/arrival, which makes the AISC deployment in the UMEC network challenging. In addition, the intricate relationships between UMEC environment and AISC, as well as between individual VNFs in an AISC, can also affect the effectiveness of AISC deployment strategy. Moreover, under the constraints of energy consumption and load balancing, it is also difficult to optimize the AISC strategy to minimize AISC completion time for enhancing the quality of AI service. To address the above challenges, this paper proposes a double deep attention Q-network based on heterogeneous graph neural networks, which incorporates heterogeneous graph to capture diverse relationships in UMEC and utilizes attention mechanisms to adaptively focus on critical nodes and links for intelligent AISC deployment. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs excellently in AISC completion time, AISC completion rate, load balancing and energy consumption.

ReFlow: Self-correction Motion Learning for Dynamic Scene Reconstruction

We present ReFlow, a unified framework for monocular dynamic scene reconstruction that learns 3D motion in a novel self-correction manner from raw video. Existing methods often suffer from incomplete scene initialization for dynamic regions, leading to unstable reconstruction and motion estimation, which often resorts to external dense motion guidance such as pre-computed optical flow to further stabilize and constrain the reconstruction of dynamic components. However, this introduces additional complexity and potential error propagation. To address these issues, ReFlow integrates a Complete Canonical Space Construction module for enhanced initialization of both static and dynamic regions, and a Separation-Based Dynamic Scene Modeling module that decouples static and dynamic components for targeted motion supervision. The core of ReFlow is a novel self-correction flow matching mechanism, consisting of Full Flow Matching to align 3D scene flow with time-varying 2D observations, and Camera Flow Matching to enforce multi-view consistency for static objects. Together, these modules enable robust and accurate dynamic scene reconstruction. Extensive experiments across diverse scenarios demonstrate that ReFlow achieves superior reconstruction quality and robustness, establishing a novel self-correction paradigm for monocular 4D reconstruction.

MeshSplat: Generalizable Sparse-View Surface Reconstruction via Gaussian Splatting

Surface reconstruction has been widely studied in computer vision and graphics. However, existing surface reconstruction works struggle to recover accurate scene geometry when the input views are extremely sparse. To address this issue, we propose MeshSplat, a generalizable sparse-view surface reconstruction framework via Gaussian Splatting. Our key idea is to leverage 2DGS as a bridge, which connects novel view synthesis to learned geometric priors and then transfers these priors to achieve surface reconstruction. Specifically, we incorporate a feed-forward network to predict per-view pixel-aligned 2DGS, which enables the network to synthesize novel view images and thus eliminates the need for direct 3D ground-truth supervision. To improve the accuracy of 2DGS position and orientation prediction, we propose a Weighted Chamfer Distance Loss to regularize the depth maps, especially in overlapping areas of input views, and also a normal prediction network to align the orientation of 2DGS with normal vectors predicted by a monocular normal estimator. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our proposed improvement, demonstrating that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in generalizable sparse-view mesh reconstruction tasks.

SAS: Segment Any 3D Scene with Integrated 2D Priors

The open vocabulary capability of 3D models is increasingly valued, as traditional methods with models trained with fixed categories fail to recognize unseen objects in complex dynamic 3D scenes. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective approach, SAS, to integrate the open vocabulary capability of multiple 2D models and migrate it to 3D domain. Specifically, we first propose Model Alignment via Text to map different 2D models into the same embedding space using text as a bridge. Then, we propose Annotation-Free Model Capability Construction to explicitly quantify the 2D model's capability of recognizing different categories using diffusion models. Following this, point cloud features from different 2D models are fused with the guide of constructed model capabilities. Finally, the integrated 2D open vocabulary capability is transferred to 3D domain through feature distillation. SAS outperforms previous methods by a large margin across multiple datasets, including ScanNet v2, Matterport3D, and nuScenes, while its generalizability is further validated on downstream tasks, e.g., gaussian segmentation and instance segmentation.

Pamba: Enhancing Global Interaction in Point Clouds via State Space Model

Transformers have demonstrated impressive results for 3D point cloud semantic segmentation. However, the quadratic complexity of transformer makes computation costs high, limiting the number of points that can be processed simultaneously and impeding the modeling of long-range dependencies between objects in a single scene. Drawing inspiration from the great potential of recent state space models (SSM) for long sequence modeling, we introduce Mamba, an SSM-based architecture, to the point cloud domain and propose Pamba, a novel architecture with strong global modeling capability under linear complexity. Specifically, to make the disorderness of point clouds fit in with the causal nature of Mamba, we propose a multi-path serialization strategy applicable to point clouds. Besides, we propose the ConvMamba block to compensate for the shortcomings of Mamba in modeling local geometries and in unidirectional modeling. Pamba obtains state-of-the-art results on several 3D point cloud segmentation tasks, including ScanNet v2, ScanNet200, S3DIS and nuScenes, while its effectiveness is validated by extensive experiments.

MotionGS: Exploring Explicit Motion Guidance for Deformable 3D Gaussian Splatting

Dynamic scene reconstruction is a long-term challenge in the field of 3D vision. Recently, the emergence of 3D Gaussian Splatting has provided new insights into this problem. Although subsequent efforts rapidly extend static 3D Gaussian to dynamic scenes, they often lack explicit constraints on object motion, leading to optimization difficulties and performance degradation. To address the above issues, we propose a novel deformable 3D Gaussian splatting framework called MotionGS, which explores explicit motion priors to guide the deformation of 3D Gaussians. Specifically, we first introduce an optical flow decoupling module that decouples optical flow into camera flow and motion flow, corresponding to camera movement and object motion respectively. Then the motion flow can effectively constrain the deformation of 3D Gaussians, thus simulating the motion of dynamic objects. Additionally, a camera pose refinement module is proposed to alternately optimize 3D Gaussians and camera poses, mitigating the impact of inaccurate camera poses. Extensive experiments in the monocular dynamic scenes validate that MotionGS surpasses state-of-the-art methods and exhibits significant superiority in both qualitative and quantitative results.
