Anomaly as Non-Conformity via Training-Free Graph Laplacian Energy Minimization

Detecting subtle visual anomalies in images remains challenging, particularly when only normal samples are available a priori. Such unsupervised anomaly detection is typically solved by measuring feature similarity of a query patch to a memory of normal patches. However, similarity alone does not reveal how strongly a query patch violates the structure of the normal feature manifold. We propose a training-free Laplacian graph energy optimization formulation, named ANoCo that scores Anomaly by the cost of Non-Conformity of a query patch to align with a fixed normal manifold. For each query patch, we construct a bipartite query to normal graph weighted by cosine affinity, explicitly removing query-query and normal-normal edges to prevent evidence dilution. We formulate anomaly scoring as a convex Laplacian energy with anchored normal nodes, and solve in closed form. In particular, we do not use the optimized features themselves-the anomaly score is the magnitude of the update required to satisfy normality constraints, reframing the graph Laplacian as a non-conformity operator rather than a smoothing prior. The proposed method introduces no learnable parameters, message passing, or sampling, and has complexity comparable to a single linear solve. Across standard benchmarks, it delivers strong image-level AUROC, stable localization maps, and improved robustness over prior methods, demonstrating the effectiveness of using optimization-induced feature drift as anomaly measure.

CollabVR: Collaborative Video Reasoning with Vision-Language and Video Generation Models

Recent "Thinking with Video" approaches use Video Generation Models (VGMs) for visual reasoning by producing temporally coherent Chain-of-Frames as reasoning artifacts. Even strong VGMs, however, exhibit two recurring failure modes on goal-directed tasks: long-horizon drift on multi-step tasks and mid-clip simulation errors that compound. Both stem from the absence of explicit reasoning built upon the VGM's short-horizon visual prior, a role naturally filled by Vision-Language Models (VLMs), but where to place the VLM is non-trivial: upfront plans commit before any frame is generated and post-hoc critiques over whole videos intervene too late. We propose VLM-VGM Collaborative Video Reasoning (CollabVR), a closed-loop framework that couples the VLM with the VGM at step-level granularity: the VLM plans the immediate next action, inspects the clip the VGM generates, and folds the verifier's diagnosis directly into the next action prompt to repair detected failures. On Gen-ViRe and VBVR-Bench, CollabVR improves both open-source and closed-source VGMs over single-inference, Pass@$k$, and prior test-time scaling baselines at matched compute, with the largest gains on the hardest tasks. It also yields further improvements on top of a reasoning-fine-tuned VGM, indicating that step-level VLM supervision is orthogonal to and stackable with reasoning-oriented fine-tuning. We provide video samples and additional qualitative results at our project page: https://joow0n-kim.github.io/collabvr-project-page.

Numerical Analysis of Ground Testing for the Intake Device of an Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion

Atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) is a promising technology for long-term orbit maintenance in very-low-Earth orbit. The intake device plays a crucial role in capturing and supplying propellant, and its capture efficiency is a key indicator of drag-compensation feasibility. For experimental evaluation, an electric-propulsion (EP) plasma plume can be used as a particle-flow generator to simulate the VLEO atmosphere in ground facilities. This study numerically investigates the interaction of an EP plasma plume with an intake device to establish guidelines for measuring capture efficiency in conventional vacuum facilities. A hybrid PIC-DSMC method with ion-surface interaction models is employed to simulate the plasma plume incident on the intake. The composition of the captured flow is governed by beam-ion energy and species mass: lowering the energy and using lighter atmospheric constituents increase plume divergence and promote neutralization, yielding a neutral-dominated outlet flow. Sputtering of the intake surface becomes non-negligible at high energies but can be mitigated by operating at appropriately low beam energies. The results show that simultaneous ion and neutral diagnostics are required for reliable capture-efficiency evaluation when using EP plasma plumes in ground facilities.

Multispectral Pedestrian Detection with Sparsely Annotated Label

Although existing Sparsely Annotated Object Detection (SAOD) approches have made progress in handling sparsely annotated environments in multispectral domain, where only some pedestrians are annotated, they still have the following limitations: (i) they lack considerations for improving the quality of pseudo-labels for missing annotations, and (ii) they rely on fixed ground truth annotations, which leads to learning only a limited range of pedestrian visual appearances in the multispectral domain. To address these issues, we propose a novel framework called Sparsely Annotated Multispectral Pedestrian Detection (SAMPD). For limitation (i), we introduce Multispectral Pedestrian-aware Adaptive Weight (MPAW) and Positive Pseudo-label Enhancement (PPE) module. Utilizing multispectral knowledge, these modules ensure the generation of high-quality pseudo-labels and enable effective learning by increasing weights for high-quality pseudo-labels based on modality characteristics. To address limitation (ii), we propose an Adaptive Pedestrian Retrieval Augmentation (APRA) module, which adaptively incorporates pedestrian patches from ground-truth and dynamically integrates high-quality pseudo-labels with the ground-truth, facilitating a more diverse learning pool of pedestrians. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our SAMPD significantly enhances performance in sparsely annotated environments within the multispectral domain.
