Robust Pixel-wise Digital Image Correlation under Large Motions and Illumination Variations via a Global-to-Local Hybrid Neural Field

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a widely used non-contact technique for full-field displacement measurement. Data-driven deep-learning DIC offers rapid inference but may generalize poorly to unseen speckle patterns, deformation modes, noise levels, and illumination conditions. Classical optimization-based DIC and recent image-constrained neural formulations avoid labeled displacement data, yet their convergence and accuracy remain vulnerable to initialization, large rigid-body motion, fine non-uniform deformation, and gray-value disturbances. This paper presents a global-to-local hybrid neural DIC framework for robust pixelwise measurement. Stage 1 estimates a dominant in-plane rigid transformation through coarse rotation search, phase correlation, and masked refinement, providing a reliable initialization under large translation and rotation. Stage 2 represents the residual displacement with a hybrid Kolmogorov-Arnold network (KAN) and multilayer perceptron (MLP), and optimizes it using a valid-overlap, illumination-robust structural loss. The local gray-value model explicitly accommodates multiplicative and additive intensity changes. Simulated and real experiments demonstrate accurate and stable displacement recovery under noise, non-uniform deformation, large rotation, illumination variation, and degraded imaging conditions.

DuQuant++: Fine-grained Rotation Enhances Microscaling FP4 Quantization

The MXFP4 microscaling format, which partitions tensors into blocks of 32 elements sharing an E8M0 scaling factor, has emerged as a promising substrate for efficient LLM inference, backed by native hardware support on NVIDIA Blackwell Tensor Cores. However, activation outliers pose a unique challenge under this format: a single outlier inflates the shared block scale, compressing the effective dynamic range of the remaining elements and causing significant quantization error. Existing rotation-based remedies, including randomized Hadamard and learnable rotations, are data-agnostic and therefore unable to specifically target the channels where outliers concentrate. We propose DuQuant++, which adapts the outlier-aware fine-grained rotation of DuQuant to the MXFP4 format by aligning the rotation block size with the microscaling group size (B{=}32). Because each MXFP4 group possesses an independent scaling factor, the cross-block variance issue that necessitates dual rotations and a zigzag permutation in the original DuQuant becomes irrelevant, enabling DuQuant++ to replace the entire pipeline with a single outlier-aware rotation, which halves the online rotation cost while simultaneously smoothing the weight distribution. Extensive experiments on the LLaMA-3 family under MXFP4 W4A4 quantization show that DuQuant++ consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance.
