With the prevalence of the Pretraining-Finetuning paradigm in transfer learning the robustness of downstream tasks has become a critical concern. In this work we delve into adversarial robustness in transfer learning and reveal the critical role of initialization including both the pretrained model and the linear head. First we discover the necessity of an adversarially robust pretrained model. Specifically we reveal that with a standard pretrained model Parameter-Efficient Finetuning (PEFT) methods either fail to be adversarially robust or continue to exhibit significantly degraded adversarial robustness on downstream tasks even with adversarial training during finetuning. Leveraging a robust pretrained model surprisingly we observe that a simple linear probing can outperform full finetuning and other PEFT methods with random initialization on certain datasets. We further identify that linear probing excels in preserving robustness from the robust pretraining. Based on this we propose Robust Linear Initialization (RoLI) for adversarial finetuning which initializes the linear head with the weights obtained by adversarial linear probing to maximally inherit the robustness from pretraining. Across five different image classification datasets we demonstrate the effectiveness of RoLI and achieve new state-of-the-art results. Our code is available at https://github.com/DongXzz/RoLI.

Dual-camera compressive hyperspectral imaging (DCCHI) offers the capability to reconstruct 3D hyperspectral image (HSI) by fusing compressive and panchromatic (PAN) image which has shown great potential for snapshot hyperspectral imaging in practice. In this paper we introduce a novel DCCHI reconstruction network intra-inter similarity exploiting Transformer (In2SET). Our key insight is to make full use of the PAN image to assist the reconstruction. To this end we propose to use the intra-similarity within the PAN image as a proxy for approximating the intra-similarity in the original HSI thereby offering an enhanced content prior for more accurate HSI reconstruction. Furthermore we propose to use the inter-similarity to align the features between HSI and PAN images thereby maintaining semantic consistency between the two modalities during the reconstruction process. By integrating In2SET into a PAN-guided deep unrolling (PGDU) framework our method substantially enhances the spatial-spectral fidelity and detail of the reconstructed images providing a more comprehensive and accurate depiction of the scene. Experiments conducted on both real and simulated datasets demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in terms of reconstruction quality and computational complexity. The code is available at https://github.com/2JONAS/In2SET.

3D-aware GANs offer new capabilities for view synthesis while preserving the editing functionalities of their 2D counterparts. GAN inversion is a crucial step that seeks the latent code to reconstruct input images or videos subsequently enabling diverse editing tasks through manipulation of this latent code. However a model pre-trained on a particular dataset (e.g. FFHQ) often has difficulty reconstructing images with out-of-distribution (OOD) objects such as faces with heavy make-up or occluding objects. We address this issue by explicitly modeling OOD objects from the input in 3D-aware GANs. Our core idea is to represent the image using two individual neural radiance fields: one for the in-distribution content and the other for the out-of-distribution object. The final reconstruction is achieved by optimizing the composition of these two radiance fields with carefully designed regularization. We demonstrate that our explicit decomposition alleviates the inherent trade-off between reconstruction fidelity and editability. We evaluate reconstruction accuracy and editability of our method on challenging real face images and videos and showcase favorable results against other baselines.

How to effectively utilize the spectral and spatial characteristics of Hyperspectral Image (HSI) is always a key problem in spectral snapshot reconstruction. Recently the spectra-wise transformer has shown great potential in capturing inter-spectra similarities of HSI but the classic design of the transformer i.e. multi-head division in the spectral (channel) dimension hinders the modeling of global spectral information and results in mean effect. In addition previous methods adopt the normal spatial priors without taking imaging processes into account and fail to address the unique spatial degradation in snapshot spectral reconstruction. In this paper we analyze the influence of multi-head division and propose a novel Spectral-Spatial Rectification (SSR) method to enhance the utilization of spectral information and improve spatial degradation. Specifically SSR includes two core parts: Window-based Spectra-wise Self-Attention (WSSA) and spAtial Rectification Block (ARB). WSSA is proposed to capture global spectral information and account for local differences whereas ARB aims to mitigate the spatial degradation using a spatial alignment strategy. The experimental results on simulation and real scenes demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modules and we also provide models at multiple scales to demonstrate the superiority of our approach.

Visible-Infrared Person Re-identification (VI-ReID) is a challenging cross-modal pedestrian retrieval task due to significant intra-class variations and cross-modal discrepancies among different cameras. Existing works mainly focus on embedding images of different modalities into a unified space to mine modality-shared features. They only seek distinctive information within these shared features while ignoring the identity-aware useful information that is implicit in the modality-specific features. To address this issue we propose a novel Implicit Discriminative Knowledge Learning (IDKL) network to uncover and leverage the implicit discriminative information contained within the modality-specific. First we extract modality-specific and modality-shared features using a novel dual-stream network. Then the modality-specific features undergo purification to reduce their modality style discrepancies while preserving identity-aware discriminative knowledge. Subsequently this kind of implicit knowledge is distilled into the modality-shared feature to enhance its distinctiveness. Finally an alignment loss is proposed to minimize modality discrepancy on enhanced modality-shared features. Extensive experiments on multiple public datasets demonstrate the superiority of IDKL network over the state-of-the-art methods.

Generalizable 3D object reconstruction from single-view RGB-D images remains a challenging task particularly with real-world data. Current state-of-the-art methods develop Transformer-based implicit field learning necessitating an intensive learning paradigm that requires dense query-supervision uniformly sampled throughout the entire space. We propose a novel approach IPoD which harmonizes implicit field learning with point diffusion. This approach treats the query points for implicit field learning as a noisy point cloud for iterative denoising allowing for their dynamic adaptation to the target object shape. Such adaptive query points harness diffusion learning's capability for coarse shape recovery and also enhances the implicit representation's ability to delineate finer details. Besides an additional self-conditioning mechanism is designed to use implicit predictions as the guidance of diffusion learning leading to a cooperative system. Experiments conducted on the CO3D-v2 dataset affirm the superiority of IPoD achieving 7.8% improvement in F-score and 28.6% in Chamfer distance over existing methods. The generalizability of IPoD is also demonstrated on the MVImgNet dataset. Our project page is at https://yushuang-wu.github.io/IPoD.

Deep learning-based image registration (DLIR) methods have achieved remarkable success in deformable image registration. We observe that iterative inference can exploit the well-trained registration network to the fullest extent. In this work we propose a novel Iterative Inference Residual Pyramid Network (IIRP-Net) to enhance registration performance without any additional training costs. In IIRP-Net we construct a streamlined pyramid registration network consisting of a feature extractor and residual flow estimators (RP-Net) to achieve generalized capabilities in feature extraction and registration. Then in the inference phase IIRP-Net employs an iterative inference strategy to enhance RP-Net by iteratively reutilizing residual flow estimators from coarse to fine. The number of iterations is adaptively determined by the proposed IterStop mechanism. We conduct extensive experiments on the FLARE and Mindboggle datasets and the results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method outperforming state-of-the-art deformable image registration methods. Our code is available at https://github.com/Torbjorn1997/IIRP-Net.

Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection methods often exploit auxiliary outliers to train model identifying OOD samples especially discovering challenging outliers from auxiliary outliers dataset to improve OOD detection. However they may still face limitations in effectively distinguishing between the most challenging OOD samples that are much like in-distribution (ID) data i.e. ID-like samples. To this end we propose a novel OOD detection framework that discovers ID-like outliers using CLIP from the vicinity space of the ID samples thus helping to identify these most challenging OOD samples. Then a prompt learning framework is proposed that utilizes the identified ID-like outliers to further leverage the capabilities of CLIP for OOD detection. Benefiting from the powerful CLIP we only need a small number of ID samples to learn the prompts of the model without exposing other auxiliary outlier datasets. By focusing on the most challenging ID-like OOD samples and elegantly exploiting the capabilities of CLIP our method achieves superior few-shot learning performance on various real-world image datasets (e.g. in 4-shot OOD detection on the ImageNet-1k dataset our method reduces the average FPR95 by 12.16% and improves the average AUROC by 2.76% compared to state-of-the-art methods).

Non-isometric shape correspondence remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision. Traditional methods using Laplace-Beltrami operator (LBO) eigenmodes face limitations in characterizing high-frequency extrinsic shape changes like bending and creases. We propose a novel approach of combining the non-orthogonal extrinsic basis of eigenfunctions of the elastic thin-shell hessian with the intrinsic ones of the LBO creating a hybrid spectral space in which we construct functional maps. To this end we present a theoretical framework to effectively integrate non-orthogonal basis functions into descriptor- and learning-based functional map methods. Our approach can be incorporated easily into existing functional map pipelines across varying applications and is able to handle complex deformations beyond isometries. We show extensive evaluations across various supervised and unsupervised settings and demonstrate significant improvements. Notably our approach achieves up to 15% better mean geodesic error for non-isometric correspondence settings and up to 45% improvement in scenarios with topological noise.

Inspired by the success of Large Language Models in dealing with new tasks via In-Context Learning (ICL) in NLP researchers have also developed Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) with ICL capabilities. However when implementing ICL using these LVLMs researchers usually resort to the simplest way like random sampling to configure the in-context sequence thus leading to sub-optimal results. To enhance the ICL performance in this study we use Visual Question Answering (VQA) as case study to explore diverse in-context configurations to find the powerful ones. Additionally through observing the changes of the LVLM outputs by altering the in-context sequence we gain insights into the inner properties of LVLMs improving our understanding of them. Specifically to explore in-context configurations we design diverse retrieval methods and employ different strategies to manipulate the retrieved demonstrations. Through exhaustive experiments on three VQA datasets: VQAv2 VizWiz and OK-VQA we uncover three important inner properties of the applied LVLM and demonstrate which strategies can consistently improve the ICL VQA performance. Our code is provided in: https: //github.com/GaryJiajia/OFv2_ICL_VQA.

In Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) a visual projector plays a crucial role in bridging pre-trained vision encoders with LLMs enabling profound visual understanding while harnessing the LLMs' robust capabilities. Despite the importance of the visual projector it has been relatively less explored. In this study we first identify two essential projector properties: (i) flexibility in managing the number of visual tokens crucial for MLLMs' overall efficiency and (ii) preservation of local context from visual features vital for spatial understanding. Based on these findings we propose a novel projector design that is both flexible and locality-enhanced effectively satisfying the two desirable properties. Additionally we present comprehensive strategies to effectively utilize multiple and multifaceted instruction datasets. Through extensive experiments we examine the impact of individual design choices. Finally our proposed MLLM Honeybee remarkably outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods across various benchmarks including MME MMBench SEED-Bench and LLaVA-Bench achieving significantly higher efficiency. Code and models are available at https://github.com/kakaobrain/honeybee.

The spatial non-uniformity and diverse patterns of shadow degradation conflict with the weight sharing manner of dominant models which may lead to an unsatisfactory compromise. To tackle with this issue we present a novel strategy from the view of shadow transformation in this paper: directly homogenizing the spatial distribution of shadow degradation. Our key design is the random shuffle operation and its corresponding inverse operation. Specifically random shuffle operation stochastically rearranges the pixels across spatial space and the inverse operation recovers the original order. After randomly shuffling the shadow diffuses in the whole image and the degradation appears in a homogenized way which can be effectively processed by the local self-attention layer. Moreover we further devise a new feed forward network with position modeling to exploit image structural information. Based on these elements we construct the final local window based transformer named HomoFormer for image shadow removal. Our HomoFormer can enjoy the linear complexity of local transformers while bypassing challenges of non-uniformity and diversity of shadow. Extensive experiments are conducted to verify the superiority of our HomoFormer across public datasets.

Recent methods for label-free 3D semantic segmentation aim to assist 3D model training by leveraging the open-world recognition ability of pre-trained vision language models. However these methods usually suffer from inconsistent and noisy pseudo-labels provided by the vision language models. To address this issue we present a hierarchical intra-modal correlation learning framework that captures visual and geometric correlations in 3D scenes at three levels: intra-set intra-scene and inter-scene to help learn more compact 3D representations. We refine pseudo-labels using intra-set correlations within each geometric consistency set and align features of visually and geometrically similar points using intra-scene and inter-scene correlation learning. We also introduce a feedback mechanism to distill the correlation learning capability into the 3D model. Experiments on both indoor and outdoor datasets show the superiority of our method. We achieve a state-of-the-art 36.6% mIoU on the ScanNet dataset and a 23.0% mIoU on the nuScenes dataset with improvements of 7.8% mIoU and 2.2% mIoU compared with previous SOTA. We also provide theoretical analysis and qualitative visualization results to discuss the mechanism and conduct thorough ablation studies to support the effectiveness of our framework.

Video stabilization is a longstanding computer vision problem particularly pixel-level synthesis solutions for video stabilization which synthesize full frames add to the complexity of this task. These techniques aim to stabilize videos by synthesizing full frames while enhancing the stability of the considered video. This intensifies the complexity of the task due to the distinct mix of unique motion profiles and visual content present in each video sequence making robust generalization with fixed parameters difficult. In our study we introduce a novel approach to enhance the performance of pixel-level synthesis solutions for video stabilization by adapting these models to individual input video sequences. The proposed adaptation exploits low-level visual cues accessible during test-time to improve both the stability and quality of resulting videos. We highlight the efficacy of our methodology of "test-time adaptation" through simple fine-tuning of one of these models followed by significant stability gain via the integration of meta-learning techniques. Notably significant improvement is achieved with only a single adaptation step. The versatility of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by consistently improving the performance of various pixel-level synthesis models for video stabilization in real-world scenarios.

Recent years have witnessed rapid progress in monocular human mesh recovery. Despite their impressive performance on public benchmarks existing methods are vulnerable to unusual poses which prevents them from deploying to challenging scenarios such as dance and martial arts. This issue is mainly attributed to the domain gap induced by the data scarcity in relevant cases. Most existing datasets are captured in constrained scenarios and lack samples of such complex movements. For this reason we propose a data collection pipeline comprising automatic crawling precise annotation and hardcase mining. Based on this pipeline we establish a large dataset in a short time. The dataset named HardMo contains 7M images along with precise annotations covering 15 categories of dance and 14 categories of martial arts. Empirically we find that the prediction failure in dance and martial arts is mainly characterized by the misalignment of hand-wrist and foot-ankle. To dig deeper into the two hardcases we leverage the proposed automatic pipeline to filter collected data and construct two subsets named HardMo-Hand and HardMo-Foot. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the annotation pipeline and the data-driven solution to failure cases. Specifically after being trained on HardMo HMR an early pioneering method can even outperform the current state of the art 4DHumans on our benchmarks.

Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have been shown to efficiently integrate natural language with visual information to handle multi-modal tasks. However MLLMs still face a fundamental limitation of hallucinations where they tend to generate erroneous or fabricated information. In this paper we address hallucinations in MLLMs from a novel perspective of representation learning. We first analyzed the representation distribution of textual and visual tokens in MLLM revealing two important findings: 1) there is a significant gap between textual and visual representations indicating unsatisfactory cross-modal representation alignment; 2) representations of texts that contain and do not contain hallucinations are entangled making it challenging to distinguish them. These two observations inspire us with a simple yet effective method to mitigate hallucinations. Specifically we introduce contrastive learning into MLLMs and use text with hallucination as hard negative examples naturally bringing representations of non-hallucinative text and visual samples closer while pushing way representations of non-hallucinating and hallucinative text. We evaluate our method quantitatively and qualitatively showing its effectiveness in reducing hallucination occurrences and improving performance across multiple benchmarks. On the MMhal-Bench benchmark our method obtains a 34.66% /29.5% improvement over the baseline MiniGPT-4/LLaVA. Our code is available on https://github.com/X-PLUG/mPLUG-HalOwl/tree/main/hacl.

Event-based semantic segmentation has gained popularity due to its capability to deal with scenarios under high-speed motion and extreme lighting conditions which cannot be addressed by conventional RGB cameras. Since it is hard to annotate event data previous approaches rely on event-to-image reconstruction to obtain pseudo labels for training. However this will inevitably introduce noise and learning from noisy pseudo labels especially when generated from a single source may reinforce the errors. This drawback is also called confirmation bias in pseudo-labeling. In this paper we propose a novel hybrid pseudo-labeling framework for unsupervised event-based semantic segmentation HPL-ESS to alleviate the influence of noisy pseudo labels. In particular we first employ a plain unsupervised domain adaptation framework as our baseline which can generate a set of pseudo labels through self-training. Then we incorporate offline event-to-image reconstruction into the framework and obtain another set of pseudo labels by predicting segmentation maps on the reconstructed images. A noisy label learning strategy is designed to mix the two sets of pseudo labels and enhance the quality. Moreover we propose a soft prototypical alignment module to further improve the consistency of target domain features. Extensive experiments show that our proposed method outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods by a large margin on the DSEC-Semantic dataset (+5.88% accuracy +10.32% mIoU) which even surpasses several supervised methods.

Vectorized High-Definition (HD) map construction requires predictions of the category and point coordinates of map elements (e.g. road boundary lane divider pedestrian crossing etc.). State-of-the-art methods are mainly based on point-level representation learning for regressing accurate point coordinates. However this pipeline has limitations in obtaining element-level information and handling element-level failures e.g. erroneous element shape or entanglement between elements. To tackle the above issues we propose a simple yet effective HybrId framework named HIMap to sufficiently learn and interact both point-level and element-level information. Concretely we introduce a hybrid representation called HIQuery to represent all map elements and propose a point-element interactor to interactively extract and encode the hybrid information of elements e.g. point position and element shape into the HIQuery. Additionally we present a point-element consistency constraint to enhance the consistency between the point-level and element-level information. Finally the output point-element integrated HIQuery can be directly converted into map elements' class point coordinates and mask. We conduct extensive experiments and consistently outperform previous methods on both nuScenes and Argoverse2 datasets. Notably our method achieves 77.8 mAP on the nuScenes dataset remarkably superior to previous SOTAs by 8.3 mAP at least.

Shape and geometric patterns are essential in defining stylistic identity. However current 3D style transfer methods predominantly focus on transferring colors and textures often overlooking geometric aspects. In this paper we introduce Geometry Transfer a novel method that leverages geometric deformation for 3D style transfer. This technique employs depth maps to extract a style guide subsequently applied to stylize the geometry of radiance fields. Moreover we propose new techniques that utilize geometric cues from the 3D scene thereby enhancing aesthetic expressiveness and more accurately reflecting intended styles. Our extensive experiments show that Geometry Transfer enables a broader and more expressive range of stylizations thereby significantly expanding the scope of 3D style transfer.
