Think Locally, Refine Globally for Memory-Efficient 3D Reconstruction

We propose LoG-VGGT, a memory-efficient framework for long-sequence 3D reconstruction that balances local temporal modeling with global camera consistency. Instead of relying on full global attention, our method introduces cross-window attention at a small subset of transformer blocks, enabling effective information propagation across adjacent temporal windows while keeping memory usage bounded. To mitigate long-term pose drift, we further design a global camera consistency refinement module, where camera tokens interact with compact register tokens via cross-attention to enforce scene-level constraints across the entire sequence. This design enables joint optimization of camera representations and significantly improves long-horizon pose stability without incurring the high cost of sequence-wide attention. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LoG-VGGT achieves improved depth accuracy and robust camera pose estimation across multiple long-sequence benchmarks, while delivering competitive streaming reconstruction performance.

Efficient Language-to-Vision Feature Injection for Referring Single-Object Tracking

Referring single-object tracking enables language-grounded target initialization and subsequent tracking by jointly leveraging semantic cues and visual templates. The core difficulty is to use language differently across stages: it is indispensable for grounding but can induce semantic drift during tracking when overemphasized. Meanwhile, current methods often require costly vision-language alignment training. We present LVTrack, a pure transformer framework that introduces a mode-conditioned Gated Feature Injector to adaptively regulate textual guidance and alleviate semantic drift. Together with targeted adaptations, it directly harnesses a frozen vision-language pretrained model, greatly reducing training cost and preserving strong language understanding. To further improve temporal localization, LVTrack integrates hybrid relative-absolute positional encodings with a lightweight memory mechanism and optimizes autoregressive box prediction using a Gaussian-smoothed KL loss. Extensive experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that LVTrack achieves strong performance.

SDF-Net: Structure-Aware Disentangled Feature Learning for Opticall-SAR Ship Re-identification

Cross-modal ship re-identification (ReID) between optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is fundamentally challenged by the severe radiometric discrepancy between passive optical imaging and coherent active radar sensing. While existing approaches primarily rely on statistical distribution alignment or semantic matching, they often overlook a critical physical prior: ships are rigid objects whose geometric structures remain stable across sensing modalities, whereas texture appearance is highly modality-dependent. In this work, we propose SDF-Net, a Structure-Aware Disentangled Feature Learning Network that systematically incorporates geometric consistency into optical--SAR ship ReID. Built upon a ViT backbone, SDF-Net introduces a structure consistency constraint that extracts scale-invariant gradient energy statistics from intermediate layers to robustly anchor representations against radiometric variations. At the terminal stage, SDF-Net disentangles the learned representations into modality-invariant identity features and modality-specific characteristics. These decoupled cues are then integrated through a parameter-free additive residual fusion, effectively enhancing discriminative power. Extensive experiments on the HOSS-ReID dataset demonstrate that SDF-Net consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods. The code and trained models are publicly available at https://github.com/cfrfree/SDF-Net.

Cross-modal Ship Re-Identification via Optical and SAR Imagery: A Novel Dataset and Method

Detecting and tracking ground objects using earth observation imagery remains a significant challenge in the field of remote sensing. Continuous maritime ship tracking is crucial for applications such as maritime search and rescue, law enforcement, and shipping analysis. However, most current ship tracking methods rely on geostationary satellites or video satellites. The former offer low resolution and are susceptible to weather conditions, while the latter have short filming durations and limited coverage areas, making them less suitable for the real-world requirements of ship tracking. To address these limitations, we present the Hybrid Optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Ship Re-Identification Dataset (HOSS ReID dataset), designed to evaluate the effectiveness of ship tracking using low-Earth orbit constellations of optical and SAR sensors. This approach ensures shorter re-imaging cycles and enables all-weather tracking. HOSS ReID dataset includes images of the same ship captured over extended periods under diverse conditions, using different satellites of different modalities at varying times and angles. Furthermore, we propose a baseline method for cross-modal ship re-identification, TransOSS, which is built on the Vision Transformer architecture. It refines the patch embedding structure to better accommodate cross-modal tasks, incorporates additional embeddings to introduce more reference information, and employs contrastive learning to pre-train on large-scale optical-SAR image pairs, ensuring the model's ability to extract modality-invariant features. Our dataset and baseline method are publicly available on https://github.com/Alioth2000/Hoss-ReID.

HDBFormer: Efficient RGB-D Semantic Segmentation with A Heterogeneous Dual-Branch Framework

In RGB-D semantic segmentation for indoor scenes, a key challenge is effectively integrating the rich color information from RGB images with the spatial distance information from depth images. However, most existing methods overlook the inherent differences in how RGB and depth images express information. Properly distinguishing the processing of RGB and depth images is essential to fully exploiting their unique and significant characteristics. To address this, we propose a novel heterogeneous dual-branch framework called HDBFormer, specifically designed to handle these modality differences. For RGB images, which contain rich detail, we employ both a basic and detail encoder to extract local and global features. For the simpler depth images, we propose LDFormer, a lightweight hierarchical encoder that efficiently extracts depth features with fewer parameters. Additionally, we introduce the Modality Information Interaction Module (MIIM), which combines transformers with large kernel convolutions to interact global and local information across modalities efficiently. Extensive experiments show that HDBFormer achieves state-of-the-art performance on the NYUDepthv2 and SUN-RGBD datasets. The code is available at: https://github.com/Weishuobin/HDBFormer.
