PanoWorld: Real-World Panoramic Generation

In this work, we aim to address the challenge of long-range memory in panoramic world models by exploiting the rotation-equivariant property of omnidirectional representations, where rotation can be treated as an implicit geometric transformation.Building on this insight, we propose PanoWorld, which simplifies camera trajectories into translations via fixed headings for both current-action modeling and long-range memory through Dense Panoramic Ray-Conditioning (DPRC) and Geometry-aware Memory Augmentation (GMA).Then, a three-stage training pipeline is introduced to progressively optimize each component. To better evaluate physical consistency under large-scale spatial variations and diverse illumination conditions, where existing datasets are relatively stable, we construct World360, a large-scale dataset consisting of both real-world video clips collected via panoramic unmanned aerial vehicles and high-quality simulated clips generated by AirSim360.Extensive experiments on World360 demonstrate the effectiveness of PanoWorld, outperforming alternative methods by a large margin.Our models, training code, and dataset will be publicly available.

Enhancing In-context Panoramic Generation via Geometric-aware Pretraining

In this work, we present Canvas360, a two-stage framework for in-context panoramic generation that combines geometry-aware pretraining with downstream task-specific fine-tuning. To address the lack of large-scale, high-quality training data tailored to in-context panoramic tasks, we propose Canvas360Dataset, a collection of 1M high-quality paired panoramic samples for style transfer, inpainting, outpainting, and editing, enabling effective supervision across diverse in-context generation scenarios. On the modeling side, Canvas360 enhances text-to-panorama generation through parallel depth generation, velocity circular padding, and similarity loss regularization, enabling the model to learn geometry-aware representations, capture object distortion details, and improve geometric consistency and global coherence. Furthermore, empowered by strong panoramic priors, Canvas360 enables a unified in-context panoramic generation framework that supports diverse downstream tasks via token-level concatenation, surpassing prior methods in both task coverage and modeling flexibility. Extensive experiments show that Canvas360 improves panoramic image fidelity, achieving particularly strong performance on the panorama-specific FAED metric and competitive or leading results across the reported quantitative evaluations.

Repurposing 3D Generative Model for Autoregressive Layout Generation

We introduce LaviGen, a framework that repurposes 3D generative models for 3D layout generation. Unlike previous methods that infer object layouts from textual descriptions, LaviGen operates directly in the native 3D space, formulating layout generation as an autoregressive process that explicitly models geometric relations and physical constraints among objects, producing coherent and physically plausible 3D scenes. To further enhance this process, we propose an adapted 3D diffusion model that integrates scene, object, and instruction information and employs a dual-guidance self-rollout distillation mechanism to improve efficiency and spatial accuracy. Extensive experiments on the LayoutVLM benchmark show LaviGen achieves superior 3D layout generation performance, with 19% higher physical plausibility than the state of the art and 65% faster computation. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/fenghora/LaviGen.

SegviGen: Repurposing 3D Generative Model for Part Segmentation

We introduce SegviGen, a framework that repurposes native 3D generative models for 3D part segmentation. Existing pipelines either lift strong 2D priors into 3D via distillation or multi-view mask aggregation, often suffering from cross-view inconsistency and blurred boundaries, or explore native 3D discriminative segmentation, which typically requires large-scale annotated 3D data and substantial training resources. In contrast, SegviGen leverages the structured priors encoded in pretrained 3D generative model to induce segmentation through distinctive part colorization, establishing a novel and efficient framework for part segmentation. Specifically, SegviGen encodes a 3D asset and predicts part-indicative colors on active voxels of a geometry-aligned reconstruction. It supports interactive part segmentation, full segmentation, and full segmentation with 2D guidance in a unified framework. Extensive experiments show that SegviGen improves over the prior state of the art by 40% on interactive part segmentation and by 15% on full segmentation, while using only 0.32% of the labeled training data. It demonstrates that pretrained 3D generative priors transfer effectively to 3D part segmentation, enabling strong performance with limited supervision.

DiT360: High-Fidelity Panoramic Image Generation via Hybrid Training

In this work, we propose DiT360, a DiT-based framework that performs hybrid training on perspective and panoramic data for panoramic image generation. For the issues of maintaining geometric fidelity and photorealism in generation quality, we attribute the main reason to the lack of large-scale, high-quality, real-world panoramic data, where such a data-centric view differs from prior methods that focus on model design. Basically, DiT360 has several key modules for inter-domain transformation and intra-domain augmentation, applied at both the pre-VAE image level and the post-VAE token level. At the image level, we incorporate cross-domain knowledge through perspective image guidance and panoramic refinement, which enhance perceptual quality while regularizing diversity and photorealism. At the token level, hybrid supervision is applied across multiple modules, which include circular padding for boundary continuity, yaw loss for rotational robustness, and cube loss for distortion awareness. Extensive experiments on text-to-panorama, inpainting, and outpainting tasks demonstrate that our method achieves better boundary consistency and image fidelity across eleven quantitative metrics. Our code is available at https://github.com/Insta360-Research-Team/DiT360.

Investigations of MWISP Clumps: 13CO Clump Source Catalog and Physical Properties

We present the first comprehensive catalogs of $^{13}$CO clumps from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) project. By developing an equivalent global detection scheme integrated with the FacetClumps algorithm, we successfully extract 71,661 molecular clumps across a high-resolution $^{13}$CO data cube spanning 2310 deg$^2$ from the MWISP Phase I survey. To determine accurate distances, we design an automatic hierarchical distance decision method using signal regions as fundamental objects, effectively resolving the kinematic distance ambiguity problem and obtaining reliable measurements for 97.94% of the sample. Statistical analysis reveals that 65.3% of clumps are gravitationally bound, accounting for approximately 96.3% of the statistical total mass. Scaling relation analysis across multiple surveys reveals universal power-law behaviors in clump populations. Maser-associated clumps exhibit modified parameter distributions and scaling relations, revealing how active star formation alters clump dynamics and structure. These extensive catalogs establish a foundation for investigating molecular clump properties, star formation processes, and Galactic evolution.

VoxHammer: Training-Free Precise and Coherent 3D Editing in Native 3D Space

3D local editing of specified regions is crucial for game industry and robot interaction. Recent methods typically edit rendered multi-view images and then reconstruct 3D models, but they face challenges in precisely preserving unedited regions and overall coherence. Inspired by structured 3D generative models, we propose VoxHammer, a novel training-free approach that performs precise and coherent editing in 3D latent space. Given a 3D model, VoxHammer first predicts its inversion trajectory and obtains its inverted latents and key-value tokens at each timestep. Subsequently, in the denoising and editing phase, we replace the denoising features of preserved regions with the corresponding inverted latents and cached key-value tokens. By retaining these contextual features, this approach ensures consistent reconstruction of preserved areas and coherent integration of edited parts. To evaluate the consistency of preserved regions, we constructed Edit3D-Bench, a human-annotated dataset comprising hundreds of samples, each with carefully labeled 3D editing regions. Experiments demonstrate that VoxHammer significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of both 3D consistency of preserved regions and overall quality. Our method holds promise for synthesizing high-quality edited paired data, thereby laying the data foundation for in-context 3D generation.

AnimaX: Animating the Inanimate in 3D with Joint Video-Pose Diffusion Models

We present AnimaX, a feed-forward 3D animation framework that bridges the motion priors of video diffusion models with the controllable structure of skeleton-based animation. Traditional motion synthesis methods are either restricted to fixed skeletal topologies or require costly optimization in high-dimensional deformation spaces. In contrast, AnimaX effectively transfers video-based motion knowledge to the 3D domain, supporting diverse articulated meshes with arbitrary skeletons. Our method represents 3D motion as multi-view, multi-frame 2D pose maps, and enables joint video-pose diffusion conditioned on template renderings and a textual motion prompt. We introduce shared positional encodings and modality-aware embeddings to ensure spatial-temporal alignment between video and pose sequences, effectively transferring video priors to motion generation task. The resulting multi-view pose sequences are triangulated into 3D joint positions and converted into mesh animation via inverse kinematics. Trained on a newly curated dataset of 160,000 rigged sequences, AnimaX achieves state-of-the-art results on VBench in generalization, motion fidelity, and efficiency, offering a scalable solution for category-agnostic 3D animation.

Personalize Anything for Free with Diffusion Transformer

Personalized image generation aims to produce images of user-specified concepts while enabling flexible editing. Recent training-free approaches, while exhibit higher computational efficiency than training-based methods, struggle with identity preservation, applicability, and compatibility with diffusion transformers (DiTs). In this paper, we uncover the untapped potential of DiT, where simply replacing denoising tokens with those of a reference subject achieves zero-shot subject reconstruction. This simple yet effective feature injection technique unlocks diverse scenarios, from personalization to image editing. Building upon this observation, we propose \textbf{Personalize Anything}, a training-free framework that achieves personalized image generation in DiT through: 1) timestep-adaptive token replacement that enforces subject consistency via early-stage injection and enhances flexibility through late-stage regularization, and 2) patch perturbation strategies to boost structural diversity. Our method seamlessly supports layout-guided generation, multi-subject personalization, and mask-controlled editing. Evaluations demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in identity preservation and versatility. Our work establishes new insights into DiTs while delivering a practical paradigm for efficient personalization.

Examining Turbulence in Galactic Molecular Clouds -- I: A Statistical Analysis of Velocity Structures

We present a systematic analysis of the velocity structure functions (VSFs) of 167 molecular clouds with angular sizes greater than $\sim$176 arcmin$^2$ in three sectors of the Galactic mid-plane. We calculated the 1st- to 3rd-order VSFs and found that 60\% of the VSFs exhibit power-law distributions. The relative power-law exponents are consistent with predictions from intermittent turbulence models. Column density weighting reduces the proportion of power-law VSFs and steepens the VSF slopes, implying a reduction of turbulent energy in high-density regions. All clouds show small-scale intermittency, with slightly stronger intermittency in those molecular clouds showing none power-law VSFs. Negative VSF exponents that may indicate gravitational collapse are not observed in our sample. The scaling exponents of the observed VSFs do not correlate with the virial parameters of the molecular clouds. These two observations suggest that gravity-dominated scales in molecular clouds still need further investigation. Consistent VSF scaling exponents for the molecular clouds with significant power-law VSFs suggest large-scale external driving of turbulence in these molecular clouds. However, the driving mechanisms are likely not universal, as the power-law scaling coefficients in our results show relatively large scatter. The fact that nearly 40\% of the VSFs deviate to some extent from power-law distributions suggests that the influence of local environments on the internal turbulence of molecular clouds may not be negligible.

Dust processing in the terrestrial planet-forming region of the PDS 70 disk

Dust grains in protoplanetary disks are the building blocks of planets. Investigating the dust composition and size, and their variation over time, is crucial for understanding the planet formation process. The PDS 70 disk is so far the only protoplanetary disk with concrete evidence for the presence of young planets. Mid-infrared spectra were obtained for PDS 70 by the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2007 and 2022, respectively. In this work, we investigate the dust mineralogy through a detailed decomposition of the observed mid-infrared spectra. The results show that both the dust size and crystallinity increased by a factor of about two during the two epochs of observation, indicating evident dust processing in the terrestrial planet-forming region of the PDS 70 disk. The dust size (~0.8 micron) and crystallinity (~6%) in the PDS 70 disk are similar to those of other disks, which implies that the two nascent planets, PDS 70b and PDS 70c located at radial distances of ~22AU and ~34AU, do not have a significant impact on the dust processing in the inner disk. The flux densities at wavelengths longer than ~16 micron measured by JWST/MIRI are only ~60% of those obtained by Spitzer/IRS. Based on self-consistent radiative transfer modeling, we found that such a strong variability in mid-infrared fluxes can be produced by adjustments to the dust density distribution and structure of the inner disk probably induced by planet-disk interaction.

Revisiting the Velocity Dispersion-Size Relation in Molecular Cloud Structures

Structures in molecular ISM are observed to follow a power-law relation between the velocity dispersion and spatial size, known as Larson's first relation, which is often attributed to the turbulent nature of molecular ISM and imprints the dynamics of molecular cloud structures. Using the ${}^{13}\mathrm{CO}~(J=1-0)$ data from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting survey, we built a sample with 360 structures having relatively accurate distances obtained from either the reddened background stars with Gaia parallaxes or associated maser parallaxes, spanning from $0.4$ to $\sim 15~\mathrm{kpc}$. Using this sample and about 0.3 million pixels, we analyzed the correlations between velocity dispersion, surface/column density, and spatial scales. Our structure-wise results show power-law indices smaller than 0.5 in both the $\sigma_v$-$R_{\mathrm{eff}}$ and $\sigma_v$-$R_{\mathrm{eff}} \cdot \Sigma$ relations. In the pixel-wise results, the $\sigma_v^{\mathrm{pix}}$ is statistically scaling with the beam physical size ($R_{\mathrm{s}} \equiv \Theta D/2$) in form of $\sigma_v^{\mathrm{pix}} \propto R_{\mathrm{s}}^{0.43 \pm 0.03}$. Meanwhile, $\sigma_v^{\mathrm{pix}}$ in the inner Galaxy is statistically larger than the outer side. We also analyzed correlations between $\sigma_v^{\mathrm{pix}}$ and the $\mathrm{H_2}$ column density $N(\mathrm{H_2})$, finding that $\sigma_v^{\mathrm{pix}}$ stops increasing with $N(\mathrm{H_2})$ after $\gtrsim 10^{22}~{\mathrm{cm^{-2}}}$. The structures with and without high-column-density ($> 10^{22}~\mathrm{cm^{-2}}$) pixels show different $\sigma_v^{\mathrm{pix}} \propto N(\mathrm{H_2})^{\xi}$ relations, where the mean (std) $\xi$ values are $0.38~(0.14)$ and $0.62~(0.27)$, respectively.

ISMGCC: Finding Gas Structures in Molecular Interstellar Medium Using Gaussian Decomposition and Graph Theory

Molecular line emissions are commonly used to trace the distribution and properties of molecular Interstellar Medium (ISM). However, the emissions are heavily blended on the Galactic disk toward the inner Galaxy because of the relatively large line widths and the velocity overlaps of spiral arms. Structure identification methods based on voxel connectivity in PPV data cubes often produce unrealistically large structures, which is the ``over-linking'' problem. Therefore, identifying molecular cloud structures in these directions is not trivial. We propose a new method based on Gaussian decomposition and graph theory to solve the over-linking problem, named ISMGCC (InterStellar Medium Gaussian Component Clustering). Using the MWISP ${}^{13}\mathrm{CO}~(1-0)$ data in the range of $13.5^{\circ} \leq l \leq 14.5^{\circ}, |b| \leq 0.5^{\circ}$, and $-100\leq V_{\mathrm{LSR}} \leq +200~\mathrm{km~s^{-1}}$, our method identified three hundred molecular gas structures with at least 16 pixels. These structures contain $92\%$ of the total flux in the raw data cube and show single-peaked line profiles on more than $93\%$ of their pixels. The ISMGCC method could distinguish gas structures in crowded regions and retain most of the flux without global data clipping or assumptions on the structure geometry, meanwhile, allowing multiple Gaussian components for complicated line profiles.

M17 MIR: A Massive Star is Forming via Episodic Mass Accretion

We analyzed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) band 6 data for the outbursting massive protostar M17~MIR. The ALMA CO $J=2-1$ data reveal a collimated and bipolar north-south outflow from M17~MIR. The blue-shifted outflow exhibits four CO knots (N1 to N4) along the outflow axis, while the red-shifted outflow appears as a single knot (S1). The extremely high velocity (EHV) emissions of N1 and S1 are jet-like and contain sub-knots along the outflow axis. Assuming the nearest EHV sub-knots trace the ejecta from the accretion outbursts in the past decades, a tangential ejection velocity of $\sim421\,\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$ is derived for M17~MIR. Assuming the same velocity, the dynamical times of the multiple ejecta, traced by the four blue-shifted CO knots, range from 20 to 364 years. The four blue-shifted CO knots imply four clustered accretion outbursts with a duration of tens of years in the past few hundred years. The intervals between the four clustered accretion outbursts are also about tens of years. These properties of the four clustered accretion outbursts are in line with the disk gravitational instability and fragmentation model. The episodic accretion history of M17~MIR traced by episodic outflow suggests that a massive star can form from a lower-mass protostar via frequent episodic accretion events triggered by disk gravitational instability and fragmentation. The first detection of the knotty outflow from an outbursting massive protostar suggests that mass ejections accompanied with accretion events could serve as an effective diagnostic tool for the episodic accretion histories of massive protostars.

AGFSync: Leveraging AI-Generated Feedback for Preference Optimization in Text-to-Image Generation

Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in image generation. Despite their progress, challenges remain in both prompt-following ability, image quality and lack of high-quality datasets, which are essential for refining these models. As acquiring labeled data is costly, we introduce AGFSync, a framework that enhances T2I diffusion models through Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) in a fully AI-driven approach. AGFSync utilizes Vision-Language Models (VLM) to assess image quality across style, coherence, and aesthetics, generating feedback data within an AI-driven loop. By applying AGFSync to leading T2I models such as SD v1.4, v1.5, and SDXL-base, our extensive experiments on the TIFA dataset demonstrate notable improvements in VQA scores, aesthetic evaluations, and performance on the HPSv2 benchmark, consistently outperforming the base models. AGFSync's method of refining T2I diffusion models paves the way for scalable alignment techniques. Our code and dataset are publicly available at https://anjingkun.github.io/AGFSync.

Distribution and Properties of Molecular Gas Toward the Monoceros OB1 Region

We perform a comprehensive CO study toward the Monoceros OB1 (Mon OB1) region based on the MWISP survey at an angular resolution of about $50''$. The high-sensitivity data, together with the high dynamic range, shows that molecular gas in the $\rm 8^{\circ}\times4^{\circ}$ region displays complicated hierarchical structures and various morphology (e.g., filamentary, cavity-like, shell-like, and other irregular structures). Based on Gaussian decomposition and clustering for $\mathrm{^{13}CO}$ data, a total of 263 $\mathrm{^{13}CO}$ structures are identified in the whole region, and 88% of raw data flux is recovered. The dense gas with relatively high column density from the integrated CO emission is mainly concentrated in the region where multiple $\rm ^{13}CO$ structures are overlapped. Combining the results of 32 large $\mathrm{^{13}CO}$ structures with distances from Gaia DR3, we estimate an average distance of $\rm 729^{+45}_{-45}~pc$ for the GMC complex. The total mass of the GMC Complex traced by $\mathrm{^{12}CO}$, $\mathrm{^{13}CO}$, and $\mathrm{C^{18}O}$ are $1.1\times10^5~M_\odot$, $4.3\times10^4~M_\odot$, and $8.4\times10^3~M_\odot$, respectively. The dense gas fraction shows a clear difference between Mon OB1 GMC East (12.4%) and Mon OB1 GMC West (3.3%). Our results show that the dense gas environment is closely linked to the nearby star-forming regions. On the other hand, star-forming activities have a great influence on the physical properties of the surrounding molecular gas (e.g., greater velocity dispersion, higher temperatures, and more complex velocity structures, etc.). We also discuss the distribution/kinematics of molecular gas associated with nearby star-forming activities.

The Multilayer Nature of Molecular Gas toward the Cygnus Region

We study the physical properties and 3D distribution of molecular clouds (MCs) toward the Cygnus region using the MWISP CO survey and Gaia DR3 data. Based on Gaussian decomposition and clustering for $\rm ^{13}CO$ lines, over 70% of the fluxes are recovered. With the identification result of $\rm ^{13}CO$ structures, two models are designed to measure the distances of the molecular gas in velocity crowding regions. The distances of more than 200 large $\rm ^{13}CO$ structures are obtained toward the 150 square degree region. Additionally, tens of the identified MC structures coincide well with masers and/or intense mid-IR emission. We find multiple gas layers toward the region: (1) the extensive gas structures composing the Cygnus Rift from 700 pc to 1 kpc across the whole region; (2) the $\sim$ 1.3 kpc gas layer mainly in the Cygnus X South region; and (3) the 1.5 kpc dense filament at the Cygnus X North region and many cometary clouds shaped by Cygnus OB2. We also note that the spatial distribution of YSO candidates is generally consistent with the molecular gas structures. The total molecular mass of the Cygnus region is estimated to be $\sim 2.7\times10^{6}~M_{\odot}$ assuming an X-factor ratio $X_{\rm CO} = 2 \times 10^{20} \rm cm^{-2} (K\cdot km\cdot s^{-1})^{-1}$. The foreground Cygnus Rift contributes $\sim$25% of the molecular mass in the whole region. Our work presents a new 3D view of the MCs' distribution toward the Cygnus X region, as well as the exact molecular gas mass distribution in the foreground Cygnus Rift.
