SatSplatDiff: Geometry-preserving generative refinement for high-fidelity satellite Gaussian Splatting

Gaussian Splatting has been recently explored for satellite 3D reconstruction, demonstrating flexibility and efficiency in representing radiometrically diverse satellite scenes. However, the limited top viewpoint of satellite imagery results in insufficient supervision on building facades, leaving surface holes and degraded visual fidelity. Generative refinement, which leverages pretrained generative priors to iteratively refine and update the rendered images used as supervision targets, has recently been investigated to improve the visual fidelity of Gaussian-rendered images. However, since these models refine each view independently, the resulting images can generate hallucinations and break photo-consistency, leading to geometric degradation. To address these limitations, we propose SatSplatDiff, which aims to minimize geometric degradation prevalent in generative refinement. Building on photogrammetric DSM initialization and 2DGS-based shadow casting established in our prior work SatSplat, we first introduce monocular depth supervision and multi-scale geometric refinement to establish a geometrically accurate and well-regularized surface representation. We then apply shadow-guided generative refinement, where geometrically calculated shadow maps guide the Gaussians to maintain consistency with the underlying geometry, improving visual fidelity while reducing geometric degradation. Extensive evaluations on the IARPA2016 and DFC2019 datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, reducing geometric MAE by up to 18% and improving visual fidelity (FID-CLIP) by 28-45% over existing baselines. Our method delivers up to 5x resolution enhancement with minimal hallucination and sensor-consistent appearance, demonstrating seamless cross-tile consistency and strong scalability for large-scale reconstruction.

SatSplat: Geometrically-Accurate Gaussian Splatting for Satellite Imagery

High-resolution satellite imagery demands 3D reconstruction methods that deliver both speed and geometric accuracy. Recent adaptations of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to satellite imagery demonstrate strong efficiency, but reconstruction quality often degrades under diverse illumination across multi-date, high-altitude acquisitions (with small intersection angles), limiting applicability to remote sensing and vision tasks. We present SatSplat, the first framework to adapt 2D Gaussian Splatting (2DGS) to satellite photogrammetry, with online camera adjustment. We approximate satellite cameras with an affine model and learn a minimal delta parameterization for in-splat camera refinement from dense observations. The formulation is implemented with a 2DGS scene representation. To handle time-varying shadows and illumination changes, we integrate geometric shadow mapping and per-camera color correction during training. Across the evaluated DFC2019 and IARPA2016 benchmark sites, SatSplat achieves strong geometric accuracy while significantly outperforming prior 3DGS-based baselines. On our processed DFC2019 benchmark, SatSplat reduces mean absolute error by 11.93% and peak video memory by 31% relative to the previous state of the art. Our approach enables large-scale digital surface modeling with practical computational efficiency. The project page is available at https://gdaosu.github.io/satsplat/.

Generalized thermodynamic closure in ultrafast phonon dynamics

Driven-dissipative dynamics underlie a wide range of nonequilibrium phenomena in quantum materials, yet reduced descriptions beyond the quasi-equilibrium picture remain difficult to establish. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that a resonantly driven phonon mode admits a generalized thermodynamic description in which coherence and energy jointly organize the nonequilibrium evolution. Beyond a threshold driving field strength, we observe a delayed ultrafast response of a coherently driven phonon mode. Combined with experimentally constrained Lindblad dynamics, we show that this delay reflects the finite-time spreading of excitations across many phonon levels. At the same time, the full density-matrix trajectories for three driving conditions collapse onto a common surface defined by energy and coherence. Our results establish a coherence-extended thermodynamic regime for driven phonons and provide a framework for broader state engineering in driven-dissipative bosonic excitations.

eMamba: Efficient Acceleration Framework for Mamba Models in Edge Computing

State Space Model (SSM)-based machine learning architectures have recently gained significant attention for processing sequential data. Mamba, a recent sequence-to-sequence SSM, offers competitive accuracy with superior computational efficiency compared to state-of-the-art transformer models. While this advantage makes Mamba particularly promising for resource-constrained edge devices, no hardware acceleration frameworks are currently optimized for deploying it in such environments. This paper presents eMamba, a comprehensive end-to-end hardware acceleration framework explicitly designed for deploying Mamba models on edge platforms. eMamba maximizes computational efficiency by replacing complex normalization layers with lightweight hardware-aware alternatives and approximating expensive operations, such as SiLU activation and exponentiation, considering the target applications. Then, it performs an approximation-aware neural architecture search (NAS) to tune the learnable parameters used during approximation. Evaluations with Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, and MARS, an open-source human pose estimation dataset, show eMamba achieves comparable accuracy to state-of-the-art techniques using 1.63-19.9$\times$ fewer parameters. In addition, it generalizes well to large-scale natural language tasks, demonstrating stable perplexity across varying sequence lengths on the WikiText2 dataset. We also quantize and implement the entire eMamba pipeline on an AMD ZCU102 FPGA and ASIC using GlobalFoundries (GF) 22 nm technology. Experimental results show 4.95-5.62$\times$ lower latency and 2.22-9.95$\times$ higher throughput, with 4.77$\times$ smaller area, 9.84$\times$ lower power, and 48.6$\times$ lower energy consumption than baseline solutions while maintaining competitive accuracy.

Point-wise Diffusion Models for Physical Systems with Shape Variations: Application to Spatio-temporal and Large-scale system

This study introduces a novel point-wise diffusion model that processes spatio-temporal points independently to efficiently predict complex physical systems with shape variations. This methodological contribution lies in applying forward and backward diffusion processes at individual spatio-temporal points, coupled with a point-wise diffusion transformer architecture for denoising. Unlike conventional image-based diffusion models that operate on structured data representations, this framework enables direct processing of any data formats including meshes and point clouds while preserving geometric fidelity. We validate our approach across three distinct physical domains with complex geometric configurations: 2D spatio-temporal systems including cylinder fluid flow and OLED drop impact test, and 3D large-scale system for road-car external aerodynamics. To justify the necessity of our point-wise approach for real-time prediction applications, we employ denoising diffusion implicit models (DDIM) for efficient deterministic sampling, requiring only 5-10 steps compared to traditional 1000-step and providing computational speedup of 100 to 200 times during inference without compromising accuracy. In addition, our proposed model achieves superior performance compared to image-based diffusion model: reducing training time by 94.4% and requiring 89.0% fewer parameters while achieving over 28% improvement in prediction accuracy. Comprehensive comparisons against data-flexible surrogate models including DeepONet and Meshgraphnet demonstrate consistent superiority of our approach across all three physical systems. To further refine the proposed model, we investigate two key aspects: 1) comparison of final physical states prediction or incremental change prediction, and 2) computational efficiency evaluation across varying subsampling ratios (10%-100%).

Physics-Constrained Graph Neural Networks for Spatio-Temporal Prediction of Drop Impact on OLED Display Panels

This study aims to predict the spatio-temporal evolution of physical quantities observed in multi-layered display panels subjected to the drop impact of a ball. To model these complex interactions, graph neural networks have emerged as promising tools, effectively representing objects and their relationships as graph structures. In particular, MeshGraphNets (MGNs) excel in capturing dynamics in dynamic physics simulations using irregular mesh data. However, conventional MGNs often suffer from non-physical artifacts, such as the penetration of overlapping objects. To resolve this, we propose a physics-constrained MGN that mitigates these penetration issues while maintaining high level of accuracy in temporal predictions. Furthermore, to enhance the model's robustness, we explore noise injection strategies with varying magnitudes and different combinations of targeted components, such as the ball, the plate, or both. In addition, our analysis on model stability in spatio-temporal predictions reveals that during the inference, deriving next time-step node positions by predicting relative changes (e.g., displacement or velocity) between the current and future states yields superior accuracy compared to direct absolute position predictions. This approach consistently shows greater stability and reliability in determining subsequent node positions across various scenarios. Building on this validated model, we evaluate its generalization performance by examining its ability to extrapolate with respect to design variables. Furthermore, the physics-constrained MGN serves as a near real-time emulator for the design optimization of multi-layered OLED display panels, where thickness variables are optimized to minimize stress in the light-emitting materials. It outperforms conventional MGN in optimization tasks, demonstrating its effectiveness for practical design applications.

Dominant Design Prediction with Phylogenetic Networks

This study proposes an effective method to predict technology development from an evolutionary perspective. Product evolution is the result of technological evolution and market selection. A phylogenetic network is the main method to study product evolution. The formation of the dominant design determines the trajectory of technology development. How to predict future dominant design has become a key issue in technology forecasting and new product development. We define the dominant product and use machine learning methods, combined with product evolutionary theory, to construct a Fully Connected Phylogenetic Network dataset to effectively predict the future dominant design.
