Active Adversarial Perturbation-driven Associative Memory Retrieval for RGB-Event Visual Object Tracking

RGB-Event tracking improves localization robustness by fusing RGB appearance textures and dense temporal motion cues from event sensors. While this multi-modal scheme broadens tracking applicability, real-world scenes suffer diverse structured signal degradations that hinder traditional multi-modal fusion. In harsh environments, either modality can lose reliability drastically, and targets frequently appear incomplete due to occlusion, edge truncation and foreground clutter.To tackle the above challenges, we present a hierarchical perturbation and retrieval framework tailored for RGB-Event tracking with robustness against partial target missing and modal degradation, termed APRTrack. To mimic real-world signal corruption, APRTrack constructs structured degradation via two adversarial perturbation branches at the modality and spatial levels, which separately simulate full-modal failure and localized target region absence. A hierarchical routing mechanism is designed to disentangle the training pipelines of the two perturbation types, effectively eliminating feature collapse induced by superimposed degradation constraints. Furthermore, we devise Footprint-guided Channel-calibrated Hopfield Retrieval (FCHR) for reliable historical information compensation. This module evaluates retrieval confidence based on association footprints between queries and memory banks, and calibrates the retrieval metric space prior to Hopfield matching, realizing controllable historical feature compensation bounded to target regions. Extensive experiments on FE108, COESOT, VisEvent, and FELT datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed strategies for the RGB-Event visual object tracking. The source code and pre-trained models will be released on https://github.com/Event-AHU/OpenEvTracking

Building Extraction from Remote Sensing Imagery under Hazy and Low-light Conditions: Benchmark and Baseline

Building extraction from optical Remote Sensing (RS) imagery suffers from performance degradation under real-world hazy and low-light conditions. However, existing optical methods and benchmarks focus primarily on ideal clear-weather conditions. While SAR offers all-weather sensing, its side-looking geometry causes geometric distortions. To address these challenges, we introduce HaLoBuilding, the first optical benchmark specifically designed for building extraction under hazy and low-light conditions. By leveraging a same-scene multitemporal pairing strategy, we ensure pixel-level label alignment and high fidelity even under extreme degradation. Building upon this benchmark, we propose HaLoBuild-Net, a novel end-to-end framework for building extraction in adverse RS scenarios. At its core, we develop a Spatial-Frequency Focus Module (SFFM) to effectively mitigate meteorological interference on building features by coupling large receptive field attention with frequency-aware channel reweighting guided by stable low-frequency anchors. Additionally, a Global Multi-scale Guidance Module (GMGM) provides global semantic constraints to anchor building topologies, while a Mutual-Guided Fusion Module (MGFM) implements bidirectional semantic-spatial calibration to suppress shallow noise and sharpen weather-induced blurred boundaries. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HaLoBuild-Net significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods and conventional cascaded restoration-segmentation paradigms on the HaLoBuilding dataset, while maintaining robust generalization on WHU, INRIA, and LoveDA datasets.

Multi-Modal Building Change Detection for Large-Scale Small Changes: Benchmark and Baseline

Change detection in optical remote sensing imagery is susceptible to illumination fluctuations, seasonal changes, and variations in surface land-cover materials. Relying solely on RGB imagery often produces pseudo-changes and leads to semantic ambiguity in features. Incorporating near-infrared (NIR) information provides heterogeneous physical cues that are complementary to visible light, thereby enhancing the discriminability of building materials and tiny structures while improving detection accuracy. However, existing multi-modal datasets generally lack high-resolution and accurately registered bi-temporal imagery, and current methods often fail to fully exploit the inherent heterogeneity between these modalities. To address these issues, we introduce the Large-scale Small-change Multi-modal Dataset (LSMD), a bi-temporal RGB-NIR building change detection benchmark dataset targeting small changes in realistic scenarios, providing a rigorous testing platform for evaluating multi-modal change detection methods in complex environments. Based on LSMD, we further propose the Multi-modal Spectral Complementarity Network (MSCNet) to achieve effective cross-modal feature fusion. MSCNet comprises three key components: the Neighborhood Context Enhancement Module (NCEM) to strengthen local spatial details, the Cross-modal Alignment and Interaction Module (CAIM) to enable deep interaction between RGB and NIR features, and the Saliency-aware Multisource Refinement Module (SMRM) to progressively refine fused features. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MSCNet effectively leverages multi-modal information and consistently outperforms existing methods under multiple input configurations, validating its efficacy for fine-grained building change detection.

UniRoute: Unified Routing Mixture-of-Experts for Modality-Adaptive Remote Sensing Change Detection

Current remote sensing change detection (CD) methods mainly rely on specialized models, which limits the scalability toward modality-adaptive Earth observation. For homogeneous CD, precise boundary delineation relies on fine-grained spatial cues and local pixel interactions, whereas heterogeneous CD instead requires broader contextual information to suppress speckle noise and geometric distortions. Moreover, difference operator (e.g., subtraction) works well for aligned homogeneous images but introduces artifacts in cross-modal or geometrically misaligned scenarios. Across different modality settings, specialized models based on static backbones or fixed difference operations often prove insufficient. To address this challenge, we propose UniRoute, a unified framework for modality-adaptive learning by reformulating feature extraction and fusion as conditional routing problems. We introduce an Adaptive Receptive Field Routing MoE (AR2-MoE) module to disentangle local spatial details from global semantic context, and a Modality-Aware Difference Routing MoE (MDR-MoE) module to adaptively select the most suitable fusion primitive at each pixel. In addition, we propose a Consistency-Aware Self-Distillation (CASD) strategy that stabilizes unified training under data-scarce heterogeneous settings by enforcing multi-level consistency. Extensive experiments on five public datasets demonstrate that UniRoute achieves strong overall performance, with a favorable accuracy-efficiency trade-off under a unified deployment setting.

Semantic Change Detection of Roads and Bridges: A Fine-grained Dataset and Multimodal Frequency-driven Detector

Accurate detection of road and bridge changes is crucial for urban planning and transportation management, yet presents unique challenges for general change detection (CD). Key difficulties arise from maintaining the continuity of roads and bridges as linear structures and disambiguating visually similar land covers (e.g., road construction vs. bare land). Existing spatial-domain models struggle with these issues, further hindered by the lack of specialized, semantically rich datasets. To fill these gaps, we introduce the Road and Bridge Semantic Change Detection (RB-SCD) dataset. As the first benchmark to systematically target semantic change detection of roads and bridges, RB-SCD offers comprehensive fine-grained annotations for 11 semantic change categories. This enables a detailed analysis of traffic infrastructure evolution. Building on this, we propose a novel framework, the Multimodal Frequency-Driven Change Detector (MFDCD). MFDCD integrates multimodal features in the frequency domain through two key components: (1) the Dynamic Frequency Coupler (DFC), which leverages wavelet transform to decompose visual features, enabling it to robustly model the continuity of linear transitions; and (2) the Textual Frequency Filter (TFF), which encodes semantic priors into frequency-domain graphs and applies filter banks to align them with visual features, resolving semantic ambiguities. Experiments demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of MFDCD on RB-SCD and three public CD datasets. The code will be available at https://github.com/DaGuangDaGuang/RB-SCD.
