Listen to the Latents: Self-Correcting Speech Recognition in Large Audio Language Models Through Hidden-State Interactions

Chan-Jan Hsu, Jaeyeon Kim, Chao-Han Huck Yang, Shinji Watanabe, Hung-yi Lee, Carlos Busso

Recent automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems increasingly integrate large language models (LLMs) to leverage their semantic knowledge, either externally through logit fusion or internally through warm initialization. However, how to effectively combine these two strategies remains underexplored. In this work, we refine warm-initialized LLM-based ASR models by leveraging their own pre-adaptation base LLMs, focusing on LoRA-adapted settings where the base LLM is preserved. To achieve this, we propose Hybrid Search, a targeted correction strategy motivated by two observations. First, interaction features that characterize the relationship between LLM-based ASR hidden states and base-LLM hidden states provide informative signals about a token's degree of semantic dependence. Second, selectively refining targeted tokens with high semantic dependence improves ASR performance far beyond naive global LLM-correction methods including rescoring and late fusion. Our analysis suggests that, even after semantic knowledge transfer through warm initialization, LLM-based ASR models can still leverage their base LLM to further improve inference-time performance.

Predicting Metastatic Risk from Primary Cancer Tissue Architecture via Distance-Aware Spatial Modeling

Sandesh Pokhrel, Hamid Manoochehri, Beatrice S Knudsen, Tolga Tasdizen

Predicting distant metastasis from the digital H & E slides of the primary tumor is a critical yet challenging task in computational pathology. Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) approaches can attend to subdomains in whole slide images (WSIs) that harbor features of pre-metastatic cancer regions. However, conventional MIL models largely treat tissue patches as unordered bags, discarding the spatial layout that defines how these regions are arranged and interact across the tissue. We propose that metastatic risk is shaped not only by local patch appearance, but also by the geometric organization of patches in the WSI and the interaction between the tissue compartments. To this end, we introduce Distance-aware Tissue Modeling for Multiple Instance Learning (DTMF-MIL), a spatial MIL framework that reinforces feature embeddings with explicit distance priors. By computing signed distance functions (SDFs) to capture regions with similar features, and representing each patch with radial-basis distance responses and local SDF statistics, DTMF-MIL learns positions of patches with respect to regional interiors and boundaries. The interactions between similar patches are contextualized across local tissue neighborhoods and used to guide slide-level attention while pooling patch feature evidence for metastasis prediction. We evaluate DTMF-MIL for prediction of distant prostate cancer metastasis in an internal prostate needle-biopsy cohort (IPC) from a large hospital system and on public TCGA-COAD and TCGA-KIRC datasets across multiple pathology foundation-model backbones. Across most dataset, backbone, and metric combinations, DTMF-MIL achieves the strongest results consistently.

PorTEXTO: A European Portuguese Benchmark for Visual Text Extraction

João Cardeira, Diogo Glória-Silva, Manuel Letras da Luz, Rafael Ferreira, Diogo Tavares, David Semedo, João Magalhães

European Portuguese (pt-PT) is largely absent from Optical Character Recognition (OCR) benchmarks, which skew toward high-resource languages. The few benchmarks that cover pt-PT focus on historical artifacts and literature. This work addresses modern OCR applications, introducing PorTEXTO, the first benchmark for contemporary and culturally relevant pt-PT visual text extraction. To ascertain quality, we employ an annotation pipeline combining transcriptions from a frontier LVLM with exhaustive review by native speakers. We observe a sharp performance drop from synthetic to real world samples in most models, and find that, currently, specialized multilingual data is a better driver for pt-PT performance than model size or resolution budget, motivating the release of open pt-PT OCR resources.

MMLongEmbed: Benchmarking Multimodal Embedding Models in Long-Context Scenarios

Haitian Wang, Ruoxi Sun, Quantong Qiu, Juntao Li, Junhui Li, Hua Chen, Jinxiong Chang, Min Zhang

Recent advancements have significantly expanded the theoretical context windows of Multimodal Embedding Models (MEMs). However, larger context windows do not necessarily translate into effective comprehension and representation of long-context multimodal inputs, which remains a critical bottleneck for real-world deployment. To address the lack of systematic evaluation in this setting, we introduce MMLongEmbed, the first comprehensive benchmark for evaluating MEMs in long-context scenarios. MMLongEmbed comprises four retrieval tasks spanning multiple context-length ranges, covering text, document, and video modalities. Through extensive evaluation of state-of-the-art models, we find that current architectures rely heavily on superficial feature matching and struggle to capture deep semantic and structural dependencies. We further observe that performance degradation varies systematically with context length and key information placement. Moreover, models exhibit substantially different robustness to redundant contextual information across modalities. For reproducibility, the benchmark and code are publicly available.

IterCAD: An Iterative Multimodal Agent for Visually-Grounded CAD Generation and Editing

Tao Hu, Jiaxin Ai, Licheng Wen, Xueheng Li, Shu Zou, Siqi Li, Nianchen Deng, Xinyu Cai, Hongbin Zhou, Pinlong Cai, Daocheng Fu, Yu Yang, Hairong Zhang, Botian Shi, Xuemeng Yang

Computer-Aided Design is pivotal in modern manufacturing, yet existing automated methods predominantly rely on open-loop, one-shot generation, creating a mismatch with iterative real-world practices. In this paper, we present IterCAD, a unified multimodal agent framework for closed-loop, interactive CAD generation and editing. We formulate the task as a multi-turn interaction between a multimodal agent and an executable CAD sandbox, covering three tasks: Drawing-to-Code, Text-to-Code, and Interactive Editing. To support this, we develop a data synthesis pipeline incorporating advanced industrial manufacturing features to generate standard-compliant multi-view engineering drawings, complex code-editing tasks, and high-fidelity interaction trajectories. We optimize the agent via progressive SFT followed by geometry-aware reinforcement learning with viable-prefix masking to enhance code executability and geometric fidelity. Finally, we introduce the IterCAD-Bench evaluation suite and propose the Chamfer Distance Tolerance-Recall (CD-TR) curve alongside its AUC-TR metric, establishing a survivor-bias-free standard that unifies code validity and geometric precision. Extensive experiments demonstrate that IterCAD achieves highly competitive performance across multiple benchmarks, significantly outperforming existing approaches in both code executability and geometric precision, while exhibiting superior capabilities in closed-loop iterative refinement.

ExMesh: Explicit Mesh Reconstruction with Topology Adaptation

Chuanjin Fan, Lifan Wu, Wenjie Chang, Hanzhi Chang, Wenfei Yang, Tianzhu Zhang

Reconstructing surface meshes from multi-view images has remained a core challenge in recent years. Most existing methods, whether implicit or explicit, depend on intermediate representations and post-processing steps like Marching Cubes or TSDF fusion, often resulting in artifacts and fragmented geometry. Directly optimizing explicit meshes is a promising approach. However, it presents two critical challenges. The first is how to adaptively refine mesh topology to capture detail without introducing degenerate faces. The second is how to maintain consistent UV coordinates for high-fidelity texturing as the mesh structure evolves. To overcome these, we propose ExMesh, a novel framework that directly optimizes explicit meshes by integrating differentiable optimization with discrete topology updates. Specifically, we introduce an adaptive vertex splitting and merging strategy, along with real-time UV maintenance, to enable coarse-to-fine optimization while preserving geometric integrity. To our knowledge, ExMesh is the first framework to seamlessly integrate discrete topology operations into a continuous differentiable optimization pipeline. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ExMesh achieves a balance among accuracy, computational efficiency, and mesh conciseness.

Gaussian-Voxel Duet: A Dual-Scaffolding Hybrid Representation for Fast and Accurate Monocular Surface Reconstruction

Zhenhua Du, Zhen Tan, Haoyu Zhang, Dewen Hu, Shuaifeng Zhi, Peidong Liu

While 3D Gaussian Splatting has achieved remarkable success in photorealistic novel view synthesis, its pursuit of fast and high-fidelity 3D reconstruction has long been constrained by a trade-off between geometric accuracy and optimization efficiency. Methods specialized in image rendering converge quickly at the cost of imperfect geometry caused by superfluous primitives overfitting training views, while methods integrating neural signed-distance field (SDF) for better geometry incur prohibitive training costs. In this paper, we attempt to strike a better trade-off by tethering scaffold-anchored Gaussians to a jointly optimized sparse voxel scaffold. This hybrid Gaussian-Voxel representation explicitly confines anchored Gaussians to a narrow band around surfaces defined by voxelized SDFs, which effectively improves representation efficiency and condenses floating Gaussians without sacrificing geometry quality. An implicit surface tethering loss further pulls individual Gaussian primitives closer to SDF-induced surfaces in a mutually regularized manner for improved reconstruction accuracy. Extensive experiments on diverse real-world indoor scenes from ScanNet++, ScanNetv2, and DeepBlending datasets demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art surface reconstruction quality as well as superior novel view synthesis against leading baselines, while maintaining fast training convergence and real-time rendering.

Making the Discrete Continuous: Synthetic RAW Augmentations for Fine-Grained Evaluation of Person Detection Performance in Low Light

Valeria Pais, Malena Mendilaharzu, Daniele Faccio, Luis Oala, Christoph Clausen, Bruno Sanguinetti

Real-world deployment of AI vision models is both fueled and limited by the data available for training and testing. Real datasets are sparse and uneven: long-tailed or unbalanced distributions hinder generalization, and the low number of samples in low density regions makes it hard to run evaluations. Synthetic data can fill these gaps, providing us with a way to sample the input space more continuously and improve data coverage for benchmarks. Focusing on the autonomous driving safety-critical case of pedestrian detection in the dark, we show how synthetic low-light samples can be used to better characterize the performance of a state-of-the-art object detection model as a function of the scene illumination. We use a synthetic RAW image augmentation technique to generate low-light samples that match the noise model of the camera sensor. Performance metrics on real and synthetic low-light data are similar, indicating that the AI model finds it hard to distinguish between them.

PIU: Proximity-guided Identity Unlearning in ID-Conditioned Diffusion Models

Jose Edgar Hernandez Cancino Estrada, Mauro Díaz Lupone, Žiga Emeršič, Vitomir Štruc, Peter Peer, Darian Tomašević

Identity-conditioned diffusion models enable high-quality and identity-consistent face generation, but they also raise severe privacy concerns, as models may continue to synthesize individuals despite their right to be forgotten. While machine unlearning has been extensively studied for concept and data removal, identity unlearning remains largely unexplored, particularly in models conditioned directly on identity embeddings rather than text prompts. In this work, we study identity unlearning in Arc2Face, a state-of-the-art identity-conditioned latent diffusion model for face generation, and introduce Proximity-guided Identity Unlearning (PIU), an anchor-guided framework for identity unlearning. Specifically, we formulate identity removal as an identity replacement objective that reassigns the source identity to a selected anchor identity in the learned identity space, and we complement it with a proximity-based anchor selection strategy motivated by the geometry of ArcFace representations. We further show that effective unlearning can be achieved through localized fine-tuning of a small subset of identity-sensitive cross-attention layers. Experiments across multiple target identities show that our framework effectively suppresses generation of the target identity while preserving realism and identity consistency for retained identities, as validated by improved performance on unlearning and image-quality metrics, together with qualitative evaluation. The source code for the PIU identity unlearning framework is made publicly available at https://github.com/edgarcancinoe/piu-unlearning.

Real-Time Neural Hair G-Buffer Anti-Aliasing

Chenghao Wu, Yuefan Shen, Tao Huang, Kai Yan, Zahra Montazeri, Kui Wu

We propose a lightweight real-time method for reconstructing strand-based hair G-Buffers from severely undersampled rasterized inputs. Our pipeline first applies neural spatial reconstruction and temporal accumulation to recover hair coverage, i.e., fractional hair visibility within a pixel, and tangent. It then uses a tangent-guided reconstruction step to complete the position, which is subsequently used for physically based deferred hair shading. We evaluate our method across a diverse set of hairstyles, including straight, wavy, afro, and ponytail styles, under both static and dynamic scenarios. Our method achieves higher hair reconstruction quality than general industrial neural reconstruction solutions such as DLSS and FSR.

Star-Fusion: A Multi-modal Transformer Architecture for Discrete Celestial Orientation via Spherical Topology

May Hammad, Menatallh Hammad

Reliable celestial attitude determination is a critical requirement for autonomous spacecraft navigation, yet traditional "Lost-in-Space" (LIS) algorithms often suffer from high computational overhead and sensitivity to sensor-induced noise. While deep learning has emerged as a promising alternative, standard regression models are often confounded by the non-Euclidean topology of the celestial sphere and by the periodic boundary conditions of Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (Dec). In this paper, we present Star-Fusion, a multi-modal architecture that reformulates orientation estimation as a discrete topological classification task. Our approach leverages spherical K-Means clustering to partition the celestial sphere into K topologically consistent regions, effectively mitigating coordinate wrapping artifacts. The proposed architecture employs a tripartite fusion strategy: a SwinV2-Tiny transformer backbone for photometric feature extraction, a convolutional heatmap branch for spatial grounding, and a coordinate-based MLP for geometric anchoring. Experimental evaluations on a synthetic Hipparcos-derived dataset demonstrate that Star-Fusion achieves a Top-1 accuracy of 93.4% and a Top-3 accuracy of 97.8%. Furthermore, the model exhibits high computational efficiency, maintaining an inference latency of 18.4 ms on resource-constrained COTS hardware, making it a viable candidate for real-time onboard deployment in next-generation satellite constellations.

SketchVLM: Vision language models can annotate images to explain thoughts and guide users

Brandon Collins, Logan Bolton, Hung Huy Nguyen, Mohammad Reza Taesiri, Trung Bui, Anh Totti Nguyen

When answering questions about images, humans naturally point, label, and draw to explain their reasoning. In contrast, modern vision-language models (VLMs) such as Gemini-3-Pro and GPT-5 only respond with text, which can be difficult for users to verify. We present SketchVLM, a training-free, model-agnostic framework that enables VLMs to produce non-destructive, editable SVG overlays on the input image to visually explain their answers. Across seven benchmarks spanning visual reasoning (maze navigation, ball-drop trajectory prediction, and object counting) and drawing (part labeling, connecting-the-dots, and drawing shapes around objects), SketchVLM improves visual reasoning task accuracy by up to +28.5 percentage points and annotation quality by up to 1.48x relative to image-editing and fine-tuned sketching baselines, while also producing annotations that are more faithful to the model's stated answer. We find that single-turn generation already achieves strong accuracy and annotation quality, and multi-turn generation opens up further opportunities for human-AI collaboration. An interactive demo and code are at https://sketchvlm.github.io/.

SynMulti: Synthetic-to-Real Learning for Multimodal Video Understanding

Tanzila Rahman, Renjie Liao, Leonid Sigal

Training multimodal large language models (MLLMs) for video understanding requires large-scale annotated data spanning diverse tasks such as object counting, question answering, and segmentation. However, collecting and annotating multimodal video data in real-world is costly, slow, and inherently limited in diversity and coverage. To address this challenge, we propose~\textbf{SynMulti} dataset, along with a unified synthetic data generation pipeline capable of automatically producing unlimited multimodal video data with rich and diverse supervision. Our framework supports multiple task formats within a single pipeline, enabling scalable and consistent data creation across tasks. To further enhance reasoning ability, we introduce a VQA-based fine-tuning strategy that trains models to answer structured questions about visual content rather than relying solely on captions or simple instructions. This formulation encourages deeper visual grounding and reasoning. We evaluate our approach in three challenging tasks: video object counting, video-based visual question answering, and video object segmentation. Experimental results demonstrate that models trained predominantly on synthetic data generalize effectively to real-world datasets, often outperforming traditionally trained counterparts. Our findings highlight the potential of unified synthetic data pipelines as a scalable alternative to expensive real-world annotation for multimodal video understanding.

Learning to Search: A Decision-Based Agent for Knowledge-Based Visual Question Answering

Zhuohong Chen, Zhenxian Wu, Yunyao Yu, Hangrui Xu, Zirui Liao, Zhifang Liu, Xiangwen Deng, Pen Jiao, Haoqian Wang

Knowledge-based visual question answering (KB-VQA) requires vision-language models to understand images and use external knowledge, especially for rare entities and long-tail facts. Most existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods adopt a fixed pipeline that sequentially retrieves information, filters it, and then produces an answer. Such a design makes it difficult to adapt to diverse question types. Moreover, it separates retrieval from reasoning, making it hard for the model to decide when to search, how to refine queries, or when to stop. As a result, the retrieved evidence is often poorly aligned with the question. To address these limitations, we reformulate KB-VQA as a search-agent problem and model the solving process as a multi-step decision-making procedure. At each step, the agent selects one of four actions-Answer, Image Retrieval, Text Retrieval, and Caption-based on its current information state. We further design an automated pipeline to collect multi-step trajectories that record the agent's reasoning process, tool usage, and intermediate decisions. These trajectories are then used as supervision for fine-tuning. Experiments on InfoSeek and E-VQA demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, consistently outperforming prior baselines and confirming the effectiveness of our framework.

Can We Change the Stroke Size for Easier Diffusion?

Yunwei Bai, Ying Kiat Tan, Yao Shu, Tsuhan Chen

Diffusion models can be challenged in the low signal-to-noise regime, where they have to make pixel-level predictions despite the presence of high noise. The geometric intuition is akin to using the finest stroke for oil painting throughout, which may be ineffective. We therefore study \emph{stroke-size control} as a controlled intervention that changes the roughness of the supervised target, predictions and perturbations across timesteps, in an attempt to ease the low signal-to-noise challenge via prediction target simplification.

Conditional Diffusion for 3D CT Volume Reconstruction from 2D X-rays

Martin Rath, MORTEZA GHAHREMANI, Yitong Li, Ashkan Taghipour, Marcus Makowski, Christian Wachinger

Computed tomography (CT) provides rich 3D anatomical detail but is often constrained by high radiation exposure, substantial costs, and limited availability. Standard chest X-rays are cost-effective and widely accessible, but provide only 2D projections with limited pathological information. Reconstructing 3D CT volumes from 2D X-rays could markedly increase diagnostic accessibility, yet existing methods rely predominantly on synthetic X-ray projections, limiting clinical generalization. We propose AXON, a multi-stage diffusion-based framework that reconstructs 3D CT volumes directly from real X-rays with substantially improved fidelity over existing approaches. AXON follows a coarse-to-fine paradigm: a Brownian Bridge diffusion model first captures global anatomical structure, and a ControlNet-guided refinement stage then enhances local intensity detail and anatomical realism. To alleviate the depth ambiguity inherent in 2D-to-3D reconstruction, AXON incorporates bi-planar X-ray views, enabling more accurate spatial reasoning and structural recovery. A dedicated super-resolution module further increases the spatial resolution of the generated volumes. Experiments on public and external datasets show that AXON consistently surpasses state-of-the-art approaches while generalizing across diverse clinical distributions. At our highest-resolution bi-planar setting, AXON achieves an 11.9% improvement in PSNR and an 11.0% increase in SSIM over the strongest baseline evaluated at that resolution. In the $128^3$ single-planar setting, it maintains a lead of 7.8% in PSNR on LIDC-IDRI, with larger margins on the external clinical dataset of 8.0% in PSNR and 16.9% in SSIM. Our code is available at https://github.com/ai-med/AXON/.

Mamba-driven MRI-to-CT Synthesis for MRI-only Radiotherapy Planning

Konstantinos Barmpounakis, Theodoros P. Vagenas, Maria Vakalopoulou, George K. Matsopoulos

Radiotherapy workflows for oncological patients increasingly rely on multi-modal medical imaging, commonly involving both Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT). MRI-only treatment planning has emerged as an attractive alternative, as it reduces patient exposure to ionizing radiation and avoids errors introduced by inter-modality registration. While nnU-Net-based frameworks are predominantly used for MRI-to-CT synthesis, we explore Mamba-based architectures for this task to investigate the applicability of state-space modeling for cross-modality medical image translation and assess its performance relative to established convolutional architectures. Specifically, we adapt the SegMamba architecture, originally proposed for segmentation, to perform image-to-image generation. Our 3D Mamba architecture effectively captures complex volumetric features and long-range dependencies, thus allowing accurate CT synthesis while maintaining a relatively low parameter count. Experiments were conducted on a subset of SynthRAD2025 dataset, comprising registered single-channel MRI-CT volume pairs across three anatomical regions. Quantitative evaluation is performed via a combination of image similarity metrics computed in Hounsfield Units (HU) and segmentation-based metrics obtained from TotalSegmentator to ensure geometric consistency is preserved. The findings pave the way for the integration of state-space models into radiotherapy workflows.

Improving Image-to-Image Translation via a Rectified Flow Reformulation

Satoshi Iizuka, Shun Okamoto, Kazuhiro Fukui

In this work, we propose Image-to-Image Rectified Flow Reformulation (I2I-RFR), a practical plug-in reformulation that recasts standard I2I regression networks as continuous-time transport models. While pixel-wise I2I regression is simple, stable, and easy to adapt across tasks, it often over-smooths ill-posed and multimodal targets, whereas generative alternatives often require additional components, task-specific tuning, and more complex training and inference pipelines. Our method augments the backbone input by channel-wise concatenation with a noise-corrupted version of the ground-truth target and optimizes a simple t-reweighted pixel loss. This objective admits a rectified-flow interpretation via an induced velocity field, enabling ODE-based progressive refinement at inference time while largely preserving the standard supervised training pipeline. In most cases, adopting I2I-RFR requires only expanding the input channels, and inference can be performed with a few explicit solver steps (e.g., 3 steps) without distillation. Extensive experiments across multiple image-to-image translation and video restoration tasks show that I2I-RFR generally improves performance across a wide range of tasks and backbones, with particularly clear gains in perceptual quality and detail preservation. Overall, I2I-RFR provides a lightweight way to incorporate continuous-time refinement into conventional I2I models without requiring a heavy generative pipeline.

WiT: Waypoint Diffusion Transformers for Alleviating Trajectory Conflict in Pixel-Space Image Generation

Hainuo Wang, Mingjia Li, Xiaojie Guo

While recent Flow Matching models avoid the reconstruction bottlenecks of latent autoencoders by operating directly in pixel space, the raw pixel manifold provides little explicit semantic organization, making target-specific transport directions difficult for a shared finite-capacity vector field to distinguish. When different transport requirements are locally entangled in this way, their learning signals can interfere and hinder optimization, a phenomenon we refer to as trajectory conflict. To alleviate trajectory conflict while preserving direct generation in pixel space, we propose Waypoint Diffusion Transformers (WiT), which introduces explicit semantic routing into pixel-space generation. WiT structures pixel-space prediction through compact semantic waypoints projected from pre-trained vision representations, providing a semantically organized intermediate representation that complements direct pixel prediction. During ODE integration, a lightweight Waypoints Predictor dynamically infers the semantic waypoint from the current noisy state, and the predicted waypoint continuously conditions the primary Pixel Space Generator through our Just-Pixel AdaLN mechanism. This spatially varying semantic modulation reorganizes the finite-capacity learning problem and helps the model preserve target-specific transport directions while retaining generation entirely in pixel space. Experiments on ImageNet 2012 demonstrate consistent improvements over strong pixel-space baselines across model scales, with WiT-H/16 achieving an FID of 1.79. Code will be released at https://hainuo-wang.github.io/WiT.

EReCu: Pseudo-label Evolution Fusion and Refinement with Multi-Cue Learning for Unsupervised Camouflage Detection

Shuo Jiang, Gaojia Zhang, Min Tan, Yufei Yin, Gang Pan

Unsupervised Camouflaged Object Detection (UCOD) remains a challenging task due to the high intrinsic similarity between target objects and their surroundings, as well as the reliance on noisy pseudo-labels that hinder fine-grained texture learning. While existing refinement strategies aim to alleviate label noise, they often overlook intrinsic perceptual cues, leading to boundary overflow and structural ambiguity. In contrast, learning without pseudo-label guidance yields coarse features with significant detail loss. To address these issues, we propose a unified UCOD framework that enhances both the reliability of pseudo-labels and the fidelity of features. Our approach introduces the Multi-Cue Native Perception module, which extracts intrinsic visual priors by integrating low-level texture cues with mid-level semantics, enabling precise alignment between masks and native object information. Additionally, Pseudo-Label Evolution Fusion intelligently refines labels through teacher-student interaction and utilizes depthwise separable convolution for efficient semantic denoising. It also incorporates Spectral Tensor Attention Fusion to effectively balance semantic and structural information through compact spectral aggregation across multi-layer attention maps. Finally, Local Pseudo-Label Refinement plays a pivotal role in local detail optimization by leveraging attention diversity to restore fine textures and enhance boundary fidelity. Extensive experiments on multiple UCOD datasets demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, characterized by superior detail perception, robust boundary alignment, and strong generalization under complex camouflage scenarios.
