Observation Quality Matters: Robust Multi-Fisheye Calibration via Failure-Oriented Analysis

Reliable calibration of multi-fisheye camera systems remains challenging as rig size, camera arrangement diversity, and field of view increase. Existing pipelines can jointly optimize intrinsics, extrinsics, and target poses, but their success still depends heavily on empirical capture rules and the quality of the observations supplied to the solver. This paper studies this dependency through a failure-oriented analysis. We reveal that calibration failures are not sufficiently explained by detector recall loss or global image-plane distribution imbalance. Instead, the dominant failure factor lies in intrinsic initialization: observations with limited radial span couple focal scale with fisheye projection-shape parameters, producing ill-conditioned updates. Guided by this insight, we propose CO-Calib, a plug-in calibration-data construction framework that combines a robust learning-based target detector with an error-analysis-guided frame selector. CO-Calib constructs initialization-friendly anchors, co-visible multi-camera constraints, and coverage-completion frames without changing the existing calibration workflow or optimization backend. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real multi-fisheye systems demonstrate that CO-Calib improves the overall success rate from 68.1% to 99.3%, increases extrinsic accuracy, and augments real-world calibration stability. The source code will be made publicly available at https://github.com/HKUST-Aerial-Robotics/CO-Calib.

H-OmniStereo: Zero-Shot Omnidirectional Stereo Matching with Heading-Aligned Normal Priors

Stereo matching on top-bottom equirectangular images provides an effective framework for full-surround perception, as vertically aligned epipolar lines enable the use of advanced perspective stereo architectures that are largely driven by large-scale datasets and monocular priors. However, the performance of such adaptations is severely limited by the scarcity of omnidirectional stereo datasets and the degradation of perspective monocular priors under spherical distortions. To address these challenges, we propose H-OmniStereo, a zero-shot omnidirectional stereo matching framework. First, we construct high-quality synthetic dataset comprising over 2.8 million top-bottom equirectangular stereo pairs to scale up training. Second, we introduce an equirectangular monocular normal estimator, specifically operating in a heading-aligned coordinate system. Beyond providing distortion-robust and cross-view-consistent geometric priors for establishing reliable correspondences in stereo matching, this design boosts training efficiency and accommodates train-test FoV mismatches. Extensive experiments show that our approach achieves higher accuracy than existing methods on out-of-domain datasets and successfully generalizes to real-world consumer camera setups using a single model. The model and dataset will be released at https://github.com/JIANG-CX/H-OmniStereo.

Fine-grained Video Dubbing Duration Alignment with Segment Supervised Preference Optimization

Video dubbing aims to translate original speech in visual media programs from the source language to the target language, relying on neural machine translation and text-to-speech technologies. Due to varying information densities across languages, target speech often mismatches the source speech duration, causing audio-video synchronization issues that significantly impact viewer experience. In this study, we approach duration alignment in LLM-based video dubbing machine translation as a preference optimization problem. We propose the Segment Supervised Preference Optimization (SSPO) method, which employs a segment-wise sampling strategy and fine-grained loss to mitigate duration mismatches between source and target lines. Experimental results demonstrate that SSPO achieves superior performance in duration alignment tasks.

Bearing fault diagnosis based on domain adaptation using transferable features under different working conditions

Bearing failure is the most common failure mode in rotating machinery and can result in large financial losses or even casualties. However, complex structures around bearing and actual variable working conditions can lead to large distribution difference of vibration signal between a training set and a test set, which causes the accuracy-dropping problem of fault diagnosis. Thus, how to improve efficiently the performance of bearing fault diagnosis under different working conditions is always a primary challenge. In this paper, a novel bearing fault diagnosis under different working conditions method is proposed based on domain adaptation using transferable features(DATF). The dataset of normal bearing and faulty bearings are obtained through the fast Fourier transformation(FFT) of raw vibration signals under different motor speeds and load conditions. Then we reduce marginal and conditional distributions simultaneously across domains based on maximum mean discrepancy(MMD) in feature space by refining pseudo test labels, which can be obtained by the Nearest-Neighbor(NN) classifier built on training data, and then a robust transferable feature representation for training and test domains is achieved after several iterations. With the help of the NN classifier trained on transferable features, bearing fault categories are identified accurately in final. Extensive experiment results show that the proposed method under different working conditions can identify the bearing faults accurately and outperforms obviously competitive approaches.

Bearing fault diagnosis under varying working condition based on domain adaptation

Traditional intelligent fault diagnosis of rolling bearings work well only under a common assumption that the labeled training data (source domain) and unlabeled testing data (target domain) are drawn from the same distribution. When the distribution changes, most fault diagnosis models need to be rebuilt from scratch using newly recollected labeled training data. However, it is expensive or impossible to annotate huge amount of training data to rebuild such new model. Meanwhile, large amounts of labeled training data have not been fully utilized yet, which is apparently a waste of resources. As one of the important research directions of transfer learning, domain adaptation (DA) typically aims at minimizing the differences between distributions of different domains in order to minimize the cross-domain prediction error by taking full advantage of information coming from both source and target domains. In this paper, we present one of the first studies on unsupervised DA in the field of fault diagnosis of rolling bearings under varying working conditions and a novel diagnosis strategy based on unsupervised DA using subspace alignment (SA) is proposed. After processed by unsupervised DA with SA, the distributions of training data and testing data become close and the classifier trained on training data can be used to classify the testing data. Experimental results on the 60 domain adaptation diagnosis problems under varying working condition in Case Western Reserve benchmark data and 12 domain adaptation diagnosis problems under varying working conditions in our new data are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed methods can effectively distinguish not only bearing faults categories but also fault severities.
