Registration-Grounded Spectral Fusion for Unregistered WLI/NBI Endoscopic Lesion Segmentation

White-light imaging (WLI) and narrow-band imaging (NBI) provide complementary views of endoscopic lesions, but their paired observations are often spatially misaligned due to viewpoint changes, tissue deformation, and sequential handheld acquisition. This makes direct WLI/NBI fusion prone to mixing non-corresponding regions and may even degrade segmentation around lesion boundaries. To address this problem, we propose a reliability-aware complex-domain fusion framework for paired-but-unregistered WLI/NBI lesion segmentation. The framework first establishes topology-regularized feature correspondence and further estimates where the cross-modal correspondence is reliable. Guided by this reliability, the model selectively fuses WLI and NBI features in a learnable complex representation. In this representation, WLI-derived cues mainly provide appearance-related magnitude responses, while NBI-derived cues provide structure-sensitive phase responses. Unlike conventional real-valued or symmetric multimodal fusion, the proposed method explicitly models the different roles of WLI and NBI and suppresses unreliable cross-modal interaction in locally mismatched regions. Experiments on paired WLI/NBI endoscopic datasets show that the proposed reliability-aware registration grounding and complex-domain fusion consistently improve lesion segmentation performance. Role-reversal and module ablation studies further validate the necessity of both the modality-role design and reliability-guided cross-modal interaction.

SOFTooth: Semantics-Enhanced Order-Aware Fusion for Tooth Instance Segmentation

Three-dimensional (3D) tooth instance segmentation remains challenging due to crowded arches, ambiguous tooth-gingiva boundaries, missing teeth, and rare yet clinically important third molars. Native 3D methods relying on geometric cues often suffer from boundary leakage, center drift, and inconsistent tooth identities, especially for minority classes and complex anatomies. Meanwhile, 2D foundation models such as the Segment Anything Model (SAM) provide strong boundary-aware semantics, but directly applying them in 3D is impractical in clinical workflows. To address these issues, we propose SOFTooth, a semantics-enhanced, order-aware 2D-3D fusion framework that leverages frozen 2D semantics without explicit 2D mask supervision. First, a point-wise residual gating module injects occlusal-view SAM embeddings into 3D point features to refine tooth-gingiva and inter-tooth boundaries. Second, a center-guided mask refinement regularizes consistency between instance masks and geometric centroids, reducing center drift. Furthermore, an order-aware Hungarian matching strategy integrates anatomical tooth order and center distance into similarity-based assignment, ensuring coherent labeling even under missing or crowded dentitions. On 3DTeethSeg'22, SOFTooth achieves state-of-the-art overall accuracy and mean IoU, with clear gains on cases involving third molars, demonstrating that rich 2D semantics can be effectively transferred to 3D tooth instance segmentation without 2D fine-tuning.

Diffusion-Guided Mask-Consistent Paired Mixing for Endoscopic Image Segmentation

Augmentation for dense prediction typically relies on either sample mixing or generative synthesis. Mixing improves robustness but misaligned masks yield soft label ambiguity. Diffusion synthesis increases apparent diversity but, when trained as common samples, overlooks the structural benefit of mask conditioning and introduces synthetic-real domain shift. We propose a paired, diffusion-guided paradigm that fuses the strengths of both. For each real image, a synthetic counterpart is generated under the same mask and the pair is used as a controllable input for Mask-Consistent Paired Mixing (MCPMix), which mixes only image appearance while supervision always uses the original hard mask. This produces a continuous family of intermediate samples that smoothly bridges synthetic and real appearances under shared geometry, enlarging diversity without compromising pixel-level semantics. To keep learning aligned with real data, Real-Anchored Learnable Annealing (RLA) adaptively adjusts the mixing strength and the loss weight of mixed samples over training, gradually re-anchoring optimization to real data and mitigating distributional bias. Across Kvasir-SEG, PICCOLO, CVC-ClinicDB, a private NPC-LES cohort, and ISIC 2017, the approach achieves state-of-the-art segmentation performance and consistent gains over baselines. The results show that combining label-preserving mixing with diffusion-driven diversity, together with adaptive re-anchoring, yields robust and generalizable endoscopic segmentation.

AFR-CLIP: Enhancing Zero-Shot Industrial Anomaly Detection with Stateless-to-Stateful Anomaly Feature Rectification

Recently, zero-shot anomaly detection (ZSAD) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm for industrial inspection and medical diagnostics, detecting defects in novel objects without requiring any target-dataset samples during training. Existing CLIP-based ZSAD methods generate anomaly maps by measuring the cosine similarity between visual and textual features. However, CLIP's alignment with object categories instead of their anomalous states limits its effectiveness for anomaly detection. To address this limitation, we propose AFR-CLIP, a CLIP-based anomaly feature rectification framework. AFR-CLIP first performs image-guided textual rectification, embedding the implicit defect information from the image into a stateless prompt that describes the object category without indicating any anomalous state. The enriched textual embeddings are then compared with two pre-defined stateful (normal or abnormal) embeddings, and their text-on-text similarity yields the anomaly map that highlights defective regions. To further enhance perception to multi-scale features and complex anomalies, we introduce self prompting (SP) and multi-patch feature aggregation (MPFA) modules. Extensive experiments are conducted on eleven anomaly detection benchmarks across industrial and medical domains, demonstrating AFR-CLIP's superiority in ZSAD.

A Point-Neighborhood Learning Framework for Nasal Endoscope Image Segmentation

Lesion segmentation on nasal endoscopic images is challenging due to its complex lesion features. Fully-supervised deep learning methods achieve promising performance with pixel-level annotations but impose a significant annotation burden on experts. Although weakly supervised or semi-supervised methods can reduce the labelling burden, their performance is still limited. Some weakly semi-supervised methods employ a novel annotation strategy that labels weak single-point annotations for the entire training set while providing pixel-level annotations for a small subset of the data. However, the relevant weakly semi-supervised methods only mine the limited information of the point itself, while ignoring its label property and surrounding reliable information. This paper proposes a simple yet efficient weakly semi-supervised method called the Point-Neighborhood Learning (PNL) framework. PNL incorporates the surrounding area of the point, referred to as the point-neighborhood, into the learning process. In PNL, we propose a point-neighborhood supervision loss and a pseudo-label scoring mechanism to explicitly guide the model's training. Meanwhile, we proposed a more reliable data augmentation scheme. The proposed method significantly improves performance without increasing the parameters of the segmentation neural network. Extensive experiments on the NPC-LES dataset demonstrate that PNL outperforms existing methods by a significant margin. Additional validation on colonoscopic polyp segmentation datasets confirms the generalizability of the proposed PNL.
