Zero-Shot Video Restoration and Enhancement with Text-to-Image Latent Diffusion Models and Multi-Modal References

Zero-shot image restoration methods with text-to-image latent diffusion models have achieved great success in universal image restoration tasks without training. However, applying them to video restoration will result in severe temporal flickering. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for zero-shot video restoration and enhancement which uses a text-to-image latent diffusion model and multi-modal references. Through the proposed dual prompt tuning inversion and sampling, the inference time can be reduced to nearly 1/3 of the original. The performance and temporal consistency can be also significantly stregthened. By using the proposed texture-aware video token merging, the temporal correlation between frames can be further utilized to improve the temporal consistency. We futher propose the referenced self-attention and referenced token merging to support image reference. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in restoring and enhancing temporally consistent videos.

MoRF-AST: Calibrated Probabilistic Virtual Sensing for Structural Monitoring under Changing Operating Conditions

Probabilistic full-field reconstruction provides uncertainty-aware response evidence for structural reliability assessment, yet inference from sparse and noisy measurements remains underdetermined. Most existing methods overlook shifts between offline training and operational distributions. Under such shifts, posterior intervals may become miscalibrated, causing the reported uncertainty to lose its probabilistic meaning. This study proposes Modal Residual Flow Matching with Context-Conditioned Affine Spread Transport (MoRF-AST) for calibrated structural virtual sensing under changing operating conditions. MoRF constructs an analytic Gaussian reference posterior in normalized modal coordinates and trains a conditional flow only on posterior-whitened residuals. At deployment, AST estimates response scale from historical measurements at installed sensors and uses gated, mean-preserving Bures-Wasserstein transport to adjust posterior spread. On a bridge-deck benchmark, MoRF achieves a posterior-mean normalized root-mean-square error (NRMSE) of 7.20%, compared with 16.1% and 17.9% for two direct conditional flows. Across eight shifted traffic domains, AST reduces MoRF's cross-domain average coverage error from 0.0535 to 0.0236, a 55.9% reduction, while preserving posterior-mean accuracy. The same transport does not improve the tested alternatives in aggregate, showing that calibration gains require its direction to match the base posterior's dispersion bias. MoRF-AST provides a data-efficient framework for probabilistic full-field reconstruction whose uncertainty remains interpretable under scale-dominated operational distribution shifts. More broadly, this work highlights the need to calibrate uncertainty under changing operational distributions, thereby supporting trustworthy probabilistic modeling and reliability-informed decision-making in civil and infrastructure engineering.

Field Demonstration of a Multi-User Continuous-Variable Quantum Access Network for Quantum-to-the-Home

Realizing scalable Quantum-to-the-Home (QTTH) faces a bottleneck: link asymmetry in broadcast continuous-variable quantum access networks (CV-QANs) hinders the selection of a globally optimal modulation variance. We demonstrate a downstream broadcast CV-QAN connecting a Quantum Line Terminal (QLT) to multiple Quantum Network Units (QNUs) over commercial fiber. Operating within a trusted local network domain, we establish a multi-user utility model to select the optimal shared variance, balancing network efficiency and user fairness. Supported by robust digital signal processing, our 1:16 field trial achieves Mbit/s-level asymptotic secure key rates, bridging theoretical protocols with Fiber-to-the-Home reality and guiding future scalable access architectures.

SpiralDiff: Spiral Diffusion with LoRA for RGB-to-RAW Conversion Across Cameras

RAW images preserve superior fidelity and rich scene information compared to RGB, making them essential for tasks in challenging imaging conditions. To alleviate the high cost of data collection, recent RGB-to-RAW conversion methods aim to synthesize RAW images from RGB. However, they overlook two key challenges: (i) the reconstruction difficulty varies with pixel intensity, and (ii) multi-camera conversion requires camera-specific adaptation. To address these issues, we propose SpiralDiff, a diffusion-based framework tailored for RGB-to-RAW conversion with a signal-dependent noise weighting strategy that adapts reconstruction fidelity across intensity levels. In addition, we introduce CamLoRA, a camera-aware lightweight adaptation module that enables a unified model to adapt to different camera-specific ISP characteristics. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of SpiralDiff in RGB-to-RAW conversion quality and its downstream benefits in RAW-based object detection. Our code and model are available at https://github.com/Chuancy-TJU/SpiralDiff.

F2HDR: Two-Stage HDR Video Reconstruction via Flow Adapter and Physical Motion Modeling

Reconstructing High Dynamic Range (HDR) videos from sequences of alternating-exposure Low Dynamic Range (LDR) frames remains highly challenging, especially under dynamic scenes where cross-exposure inconsistencies and complex motion make inter-frame alignment difficult, leading to ghosting and detail loss. Existing methods often suffer from inaccurate alignment, suboptimal feature aggregation, and degraded reconstruction quality in motion-dominated regions. To address these challenges, we propose F2HDR, a two-stage HDR video reconstruction framework that robustly perceives inter-frame motion and restores fine details in complex dynamic scenarios. The proposed framework integrates a flow adapter that adapts generic optical flow for robust cross-exposure alignment, a physical motion modeling to identify salient motion regions, and a motion-aware refinement network that aggregates complementary information while removing ghosting and noise. Extensive experiments demonstrate that F2HDR achieves state-of-the-art performance on real-world HDR video benchmarks, producing ghost-free and high-fidelity results under large motion and exposure variations.

OAHuman: Occlusion-Aware 3D Human Reconstruction from Monocular Images

Monocular 3D human reconstruction in real-world scenarios remains highly challenging due to frequent occlusions from surrounding objects, people, or image truncation. Such occlusions lead to missing geometry and unreliable appearance cues, severely degrading the completeness and realism of reconstructed human models. Although recent neural implicit methods achieve impressive results on clean inputs, they struggle under occlusion due to entangled modeling of shape and texture. In this paper, we propose OAHuman, an occlusion-aware framework that explicitly decouples geometry reconstruction and texture synthesis for robust 3D human modeling from a single RGB image. The core innovation lies in the decoupling-perception paradigm, which addresses the fundamental issue of geometry-texture cross-contamination in occluded regions. Our framework ensures that geometry reconstruction is perceptually reinforced even in occluded areas, isolating it from texture interference. In parallel, texture synthesis is learned exclusively from visible regions, preventing texture errors from being transferred to the occluded areas. This decoupling approach enables OAHuman to achieve robust and high-fidelity reconstruction under occlusion, which has been a long-standing challenge in the field. Extensive experiments on occlusion-rich benchmarks demonstrate that OAHuman achieves superior performance in terms of structural completeness, surface detail, and texture realism, significantly improving monocular 3D human reconstruction under occlusion conditions.

Active Inference for Micro-Gesture Recognition: EFE-Guided Temporal Sampling and Adaptive Learning

Micro-gestures are subtle and transient movements triggered by unconscious neural and emotional activities, holding great potential for human-computer interaction and clinical monitoring. However, their low amplitude, short duration, and strong inter-subject variability make existing deep models prone to degradation under low-sample, noisy, and cross-subject conditions. This paper presents an active inference-based framework for micro-gesture recognition, featuring Expected Free Energy (EFE)-guided temporal sampling and uncertainty-aware adaptive learning. The model actively selects the most discriminative temporal segments under EFE guidance, enabling dynamic observation and information gain maximization. Meanwhile, sample weighting driven by predictive uncertainty mitigates the effects of label noise and distribution shift. Experiments on the SMG dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, achieving consistent improvements across multiple mainstream backbones. Ablation studies confirm that both the EFE-guided observation and the adaptive learning mechanism are crucial to the performance gains. This work offers an interpretable and scalable paradigm for temporal behavior modeling under low-resource and noisy conditions, with broad applicability to wearable sensing, HCI, and clinical emotion monitoring.

Support Recovery and $\ell_2$-Error Bound for Sparse Regression with Quadratic Measurements via Weakly-Convex-Concave Regularization

The recovery of unknown signals from quadratic measurements finds extensive applications in fields such as phase retrieval, power system state estimation, and unlabeled distance geometry. This paper investigates the finite sample properties of weakly convex--concave regularized estimators in high-dimensional quadratic measurements models. By employing a weakly convex--concave penalized least squares approach, we establish support recovery and $\ell_2$-error bounds for the local minimizer. To solve the corresponding optimization problem, we adopt two proximal gradient strategies, where the proximal step is computed either in closed form or via a weighted $\ell_1$ approximation, depending on the regularization function. Numerical examples demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.

Zero-Shot Video Restoration and Enhancement with Assistance of Video Diffusion Models

Although diffusion-based zero-shot image restoration and enhancement methods have achieved great success, applying them to video restoration or enhancement will lead to severe temporal flickering. In this paper, we propose the first framework that utilizes the rapidly-developed video diffusion model to assist the image-based method in maintaining more temporal consistency for zero-shot video restoration and enhancement. We propose homologous latents fusion, heterogenous latents fusion, and a COT-based fusion ratio strategy to utilize both homologous and heterogenous text-to-video diffusion models to complement the image method. Moreover, we propose temporal-strengthening post-processing to utilize the image-to-video diffusion model to further improve temporal consistency. Our method is training-free and can be applied to any diffusion-based image restoration and enhancement methods. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

CameraMaster: Unified Camera Semantic-Parameter Control for Photography Retouching

Text-guided diffusion models have greatly advanced image editing and generation. However, achieving physically consistent image retouching with precise parameter control (e.g., exposure, white balance, zoom) remains challenging. Existing methods either rely solely on ambiguous and entangled text prompts, which hinders precise camera control, or train separate heads/weights for parameter adjustment, which compromises scalability, multi-parameter composition, and sensitivity to subtle variations. To address these limitations, we propose CameraMaster, a unified camera-aware framework for image retouching. The key idea is to explicitly decouple the camera directive and then coherently integrate two critical information streams: a directive representation that captures the photographer's intent, and a parameter embedding that encodes precise camera settings. CameraMaster first uses the camera parameter embedding to modulate both the camera directive and the content semantics. The modulated directive is then injected into the content features via cross-attention, yielding a strongly camera-sensitive semantic context. In addition, the directive and camera embeddings are injected as conditioning and gating signals into the time embedding, enabling unified, layer-wise modulation throughout the denoising process and enforcing tight semantic-parameter alignment. To train and evaluate CameraMaster, we construct a large-scale dataset of 78K image-prompt pairs annotated with camera parameters. Extensive experiments show that CameraMaster produces monotonic and near-linear responses to parameter variations, supports seamless multi-parameter composition, and significantly outperforms existing methods.

Fast Operator-Splitting Methods for Nonlinear Elliptic Equations

Nonlinear elliptic problems arise in many fields, including plasma physics, astrophysics, and optimal transport. In this article, we propose a novel operator-splitting/finite element method for solving such problems. We begin by introducing an auxiliary function in a new way for a semilinear elliptic partial differential equation, leading to the development of a convergent operator-splitting/finite element scheme for this equation. The algorithm is then extended to fully nonlinear elliptic equations of the Monge-Amp\`ere type, including the Dirichlet Monge-Amp\`ere equation and Pucci's equation. This is achieved by reformulating the fully nonlinear equations into forms analogous to the semilinear case, enabling the application of the proposed splitting algorithm. In our implementation, a mixed finite element method is used to approximate both the solution and its Hessian matrix. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches in efficiency and accuracy, and can be readily applied to problems defined on domains with curved boundaries.

Distribution-Specific Learning for Joint Salient and Camouflaged Object Detection

Salient object detection (SOD) and camouflaged object detection (COD) are two closely related but distinct computer vision tasks. Although both are class-agnostic segmentation tasks that map from RGB space to binary space, the former aims to identify the most salient objects in the image, while the latter focuses on detecting perfectly camouflaged objects that blend into the background in the image. These two tasks exhibit strong contradictory attributes. Previous works have mostly believed that joint learning of these two tasks would confuse the network, reducing its performance on both tasks. However, here we present an opposite perspective: with the correct approach to learning, the network can simultaneously possess the capability to find both salient and camouflaged objects, allowing both tasks to benefit from joint learning. We propose SCJoint, a joint learning scheme for SOD and COD tasks, assuming that the decoding processes of SOD and COD have different distribution characteristics. The key to our method is to learn the respective means and variances of the decoding processes for both tasks by inserting a minimal amount of task-specific learnable parameters within a fully shared network structure, thereby decoupling the contradictory attributes of the two tasks at a minimal cost. Furthermore, we propose a saliency-based sampling strategy (SBSS) to sample the training set of the SOD task to balance the training set sizes of the two tasks. In addition, SBSS improves the training set quality and shortens the training time. Based on the proposed SCJoint and SBSS, we train a powerful generalist network, named JoNet, which has the ability to simultaneously capture both ``salient" and ``camouflaged". Extensive experiments demonstrate the competitive performance and effectiveness of our proposed method. The code is available at https://github.com/linuxsino/JoNet.

FEALLM: Advancing Facial Emotion Analysis in Multimodal Large Language Models with Emotional Synergy and Reasoning

Facial Emotion Analysis (FEA) plays a crucial role in visual affective computing, aiming to infer a person's emotional state based on facial data. Scientifically, facial expressions (FEs) result from the coordinated movement of facial muscles, which can be decomposed into specific action units (AUs) that provide detailed emotional insights. However, traditional methods often struggle with limited interpretability, constrained generalization and reasoning abilities. Recently, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown exceptional performance in various visual tasks, while they still face significant challenges in FEA due to the lack of specialized datasets and their inability to capture the intricate relationships between FEs and AUs. To address these issues, we introduce a novel FEA Instruction Dataset that provides accurate and aligned FE and AU descriptions and establishes causal reasoning relationships between them, followed by constructing a new benchmark, FEABench. Moreover, we propose FEALLM, a novel MLLM architecture designed to capture more detailed facial information, enhancing its capability in FEA tasks. Our model demonstrates strong performance on FEABench and impressive generalization capability through zero-shot evaluation on various datasets, including RAF-DB, AffectNet, BP4D, and DISFA, showcasing its robustness and effectiveness in FEA tasks. The dataset and code will be available at https://github.com/953206211/FEALLM.

DSDNet: Raw Domain Demoir\'eing via Dual Color-Space Synergy

With the rapid advancement of mobile imaging, capturing screens using smartphones has become a prevalent practice in distance learning and conference recording. However, moir\'e artifacts, caused by frequency aliasing between display screens and camera sensors, are further amplified by the image signal processing pipeline, leading to severe visual degradation. Existing sRGB domain demoir\'eing methods struggle with irreversible information loss, while recent two-stage raw domain approaches suffer from information bottlenecks and inference inefficiency. To address these limitations, we propose a single-stage raw domain demoir\'eing framework, Dual-Stream Demoir\'eing Network (DSDNet), which leverages the synergy of raw and YCbCr images to remove moir\'e while preserving luminance and color fidelity. Specifically, to guide luminance correction and moir\'e removal, we design a raw-to-YCbCr mapping pipeline and introduce the Synergic Attention with Dynamic Modulation (SADM) module. This module enriches the raw-to-sRGB conversion with cross-domain contextual features. Furthermore, to better guide color fidelity, we develop a Luminance-Chrominance Adaptive Transformer (LCAT), which decouples luminance and chrominance representations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DSDNet outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both visual quality and quantitative evaluation and achieves an inference speed $\mathrm{\textbf{2.4x}}$ faster than the second-best method, highlighting its practical advantages.

FOF-X: Towards Real-time Detailed Human Reconstruction from a Single Image

We introduce FOF-X for real-time reconstruction of detailed human geometry from a single image. Balancing real-time speed against high-quality results is a persistent challenge, mainly due to the high computational demands of existing 3D representations. To address this, we propose Fourier Occupancy Field (FOF), an efficient 3D representation by learning the Fourier series. The core of FOF is to factorize a 3D occupancy field into a 2D vector field, retaining topology and spatial relationships within the 3D domain while facilitating compatibility with 2D convolutional neural networks. Such a representation bridges the gap between 3D and 2D domains, enabling the integration of human parametric models as priors and enhancing the reconstruction robustness. Based on FOF, we design a new reconstruction framework, FOF-X, to avoid the performance degradation caused by texture and lighting. This enables our real-time reconstruction system to better handle the domain gap between training images and real images. Additionally, in FOF-X, we enhance the inter-conversion algorithms between FOF and mesh representations with a Laplacian constraint and an automaton-based discontinuity matcher, improving both quality and robustness. We validate the strengths of our approach on different datasets and real-captured data, where FOF-X achieves new state-of-the-art results. The code has already been released for research purposes at https://cic.tju.edu.cn/faculty/likun/projects/FOFX/index.html.

Learning Differential Pyramid Representation for Tone Mapping

Existing tone mapping methods operate on downsampled inputs and rely on handcrafted pyramids to recover high-frequency details. These designs typically fail to preserve fine textures and structural fidelity in complex HDR scenes. Furthermore, most methods lack an effective mechanism to jointly model global tone consistency and local contrast enhancement, leading to globally flat or locally inconsistent outputs such as halo artifacts. We present the Differential Pyramid Representation Network (DPRNet), an end-to-end framework for high-fidelity tone mapping. At its core is a learnable differential pyramid that generalizes traditional Laplacian and Difference-of-Gaussian pyramids through content-aware differencing operations across scales. This allows DPRNet to adaptively capture high-frequency variations under diverse luminance and contrast conditions. To enforce perceptual consistency, DPRNet incorporates global tone perception and local tone tuning modules operating on downsampled inputs, enabling efficient yet expressive tone adaptation. Finally, an iterative detail enhancement module progressively restores the full-resolution output in a coarse-to-fine manner, reinforcing structure and sharpness. Experiments show that DPRNet achieves state-of-the-art results, improving PSNR by 2.39 dB on the 4K HDR+ dataset and 3.01 dB on the 4K HDRI Haven dataset, while producing perceptually coherent, detail-preserving results. \textit{We provide an anonymous online demo at https://xxxxxxdprnet.github.io/DPRNet/.

Learning Adaptive Lighting via Channel-Aware Guidance

Learning lighting adaptation is a crucial step in achieving good visual perception and supporting downstream vision tasks. Current research often addresses individual light-related challenges, such as high dynamic range imaging and exposure correction, in isolation. However, we identify shared fundamental properties across these tasks: i) different color channels have different light properties, and ii) the channel differences reflected in the spatial and frequency domains are different. Leveraging these insights, we introduce the channel-aware Learning Adaptive Lighting Network (LALNet), a multi-task framework designed to handle multiple light-related tasks efficiently. Specifically, LALNet incorporates color-separated features that highlight the unique light properties of each color channel, integrated with traditional color-mixed features by Light Guided Attention (LGA). The LGA utilizes color-separated features to guide color-mixed features focusing on channel differences and ensuring visual consistency across all channels. Additionally, LALNet employs dual domain channel modulation for generating color-separated features and a mixed channel modulation and light state space module for producing color-mixed features. Extensive experiments on four representative light-related tasks demonstrate that LALNet significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on benchmark tests and requires fewer computational resources. We provide an anonymous online demo at https://xxxxxx2025.github.io/LALNet/.
