SketchFusion: Learning Universal Sketch Features through Fusing Foundation Models

Subhadeep Koley, Tapas Kumar Dutta, Aneeshan Sain, Pinaki Nath Chowdhury, Ayan Kumar Bhunia, Yi-Zhe Song

Expand abstract

While foundation models have revolutionised computer vision, their effectiveness for sketch understanding remains limited by the unique challenges of abstract, sparse visual inputs. Through systematic analysis, we uncover two fundamental limitations: Stable Diffusion (SD) struggles to extract meaningful features from abstract sketches (unlike its success with photos), and exhibits a pronounced frequency-domain bias that suppresses essential low-frequency components needed for sketch understanding. Rather than costly retraining, we address these limitations by strategically combining SD with CLIP, whose strong semantic understanding naturally compensates for SD's spatial-frequency biases. By dynamically injecting CLIP features into SD's denoising process and adaptively aggregating features across semantic levels, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in sketch retrieval (+3.35%), recognition (+1.06%), segmentation (+29.42%), and correspondence learning (+21.22%), demonstrating the first truly universal sketch feature representation in the era of foundation models.

SapiensID: Foundation for Human Recognition

Minchul Kim, Dingqiang Ye, Yiyang Su, Feng Liu, Xiaoming Liu

Expand abstract

Existing human recognition systems often rely on separate, specialized models for face and body analysis, limiting their effectiveness in real-world scenarios where pose, visibility, and context vary widely. This paper introduces SapiensID, a unified model that bridges this gap, achieving robust performance across diverse settings. SapiensID introduces (i) Retina Patch (RP), a dynamic patch generation scheme that adapts to subject scale and ensures consistent tokenization of regions of interest; (ii) Semantic Attention Head (SAH), an attention mechanism that learns pose-invariant representations by pooling features around key body parts; and (iii) a masked recognition model (MRM) that learns from variable token length. To facilitate training, we introduce WebBody4M, a large-scale dataset capturing diverse poses and scale variations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SapiensID achieves state-of-the-art results on various body ReID benchmarks, outperforming specialized models in both short-term and long-term scenarios while remaining competitive with dedicated face recognition systems. Furthermore, SapiensID establishes a strong baseline for the newly introduced challenge of Cross Pose-Scale ReID, demonstrating its ability to generalize to complex, real-world conditions.The dataset, code and models will be released.

DEFOM-Stereo: Depth Foundation Model Based Stereo Matching

Hualie Jiang, Zhiqiang Lou, Laiyan Ding, Rui Xu, Minglang Tan, Wenjie Jiang, Rui Huang

Expand abstract

Stereo matching is a key technique for metric depth estimation in computer vision and robotics. Real-world challenges like occlusion and non-texture hinder accurate disparity estimation from binocular matching cues. Recently, monocular relative depth estimation has shown remarkable generalization using vision foundation models. Thus, to facilitate robust stereo matching with monocular depth cues, we incorporate a robust monocular relative depth model into the recurrent stereo-matching framework, building a new framework for depth foundation model-based stereo-matching, DEFOM-Stereo. In the feature extraction stage, we construct the combined context and matching feature encoder by integrating features from conventional CNNs and DEFOM. In the update stage, we use the depth predicted by DEFOM to initialize the recurrent disparity and introduce a scale update module to refine the disparity at the correct scale. DEFOM-Stereo is verified to have much stronger zero-shot generalization compared with SOTA methods. Moreover, DEFOM-Stereo achieves top performance on the KITTI 2012, KITTI 2015, Middlebury, and ETH3D benchmarks, ranking 1^ st on many metrics. In the joint evaluation under the robust vision challenge, our model simultaneously outperforms previous models on the individual benchmarks, further demonstrating its outstanding capabilities.

AIpparel: A Multimodal Foundation Model for Digital Garments

Kiyohiro Nakayama, Jan Ackermann, Timur Levent Kesdogan, Yang Zheng, Maria Korosteleva, Olga Sorkine-hornung, Leonidas J. Guibas, Guandao Yang, Gordon Wetzstein

Apparel is essential to human life, offering protection, mirroring cultural identities, and showcasing personal style. Yet, the creation of garments remains a time-consuming process, largely due to the manual work involved in designing them. To simplify this process, we introduce AIpparel, a multimodal foundation model for generating and editing sewing patterns. Our model fine-tunes state-of-the-art large multimodal models (LMMs) on a custom-curated large-scale dataset of over 120,000 unique garments, each with multimodal annotations including text, images, and sewing patterns. Additionally, we propose a novel tokenization scheme that concisely encodes these complex sewing patterns so that LLMs can learn to predict them efficiently. AIpparel achieves state-of-the-art performance in single-modal tasks, including text-to-garment and image-to-garment prediction, and enables novel multimodal garment generation applications such as interactive garment editing.
