We present Lumosaic, a compact active hyperspectral video system designed for real-time capture of dynamic scenes. Our approach combines a programmable narrowband LED array with a coded-exposure-pixel (CEP) camera capable of high-speed pixel-wise exposure, thereby enabling joint encoding of scene information across space, time, and wavelength within each video frame. Unlike passive snapshot systems that divide light across multiple spectral channels simultaneously and assume no motion during a frame's exposure, Lumosaic actively synchronizes illumination and sub-frame exposures to improve photon utilization and preserve spectral fidelity under motion. A learning-based reconstruction pipeline then recovers 31-channel hyperspectral (400-700 nm) video at 30 fps and VGA resolution, producing temporally coherent and spectrally accurate reconstructions. Experiments on synthetic benchmarks and real-world dynamic scenes demonstrate that Lumosaic significantly improves reconstruction fidelity and temporal stability over existing snapshot hyperspectral imaging systems, enabling robust hyperspectral video across diverse materials and motion conditions.

Understanding a 3D scene immediately with its exploration is essential for embodied tasks, where an agent must construct and comprehend the 3D representation in an online and nearly real-time manner. In this study, we propose EmbodiedSplat, an online feed-forward 3DGS for open-vocabulary scene understanding that enables simultaneous online 3D reconstruction and 3D semantic understanding from the streaming images. Unlike existing open-vocabulary 3DGS methods, our objectives are two-fold: 1) Reconstructs the semantic-embedded 3DGS of the entire scene from over 300 streaming images in an online manner. 2) Highly generalizable to novel scenes with feed-forward design and supports nearly real-time 3D semantic reconstruction when combined with real-time 2D models. To achieve these objectives, we propose an Online Sparse Coefficients Field with a CLIP Global Codebook where it binds the 2D CLIP embeddings to each 3D Gaussian while minimizing memory consumption and preserving the full semantic generalizability of CLIP. Furthermore, we generate 3D geometric-aware CLIP features by aggregating the partial point cloud of 3DGS through 3D U-Net to compensate the 3D geometric prior to 2D-oriented language embeddings. Our code will be publicly available in project website.

Recent advances in video large language models have demonstrated strong capabilities in understanding short clips. However, scaling them to hours- or days-long videos remains highly challenging due to limited context capacity and the loss of critical visual details during abstraction. Existing memory-augmented methods mitigate this by leveraging textual summaries of video segments, yet they heavily rely on text and fail to utilize visual evidence when reasoning over complex scenes. Moreover, retrieving from fixed temporal scales further limits their flexibility in capturing events that span variable durations. To address this, we introduce WorldMM, a novel multimodal memory agent that constructs and retrieves from multiple complementary memories, encompassing both textual and visual representations. WorldMM comprises three types of memory: episodic memory indexes factual events across multiple temporal scales, semantic memory continuously updates high-level conceptual knowledge, and visual memory preserves detailed information about scenes. During inference, an adaptive retrieval agent iteratively selects the most relevant memory source and leverages multiple temporal granularities based on the query, continuing until it determines that sufficient information has been gathered. WorldMM significantly outperforms existing baselines across five long video question-answering benchmarks, achieving an average 8.4% performance gain over previous state-of-the-art methods, showing its effectiveness on long video reasoning.

The rise of AI agents powered by large language models (LLMs) has transformed intelligent systems by enabling autonomous tool utilizing, reasoning, and action across diverse tasks. Despite this rapid progress, existing video summarization approaches primarily focus on feature extraction or frame-level importance regression but lack the autonomous reasoning, self-correction, and decision-making capabilities that define true agent-based intelligence. To bridge this gap, we propose AgenticVS--the first agentic workflow for video summarization that leverages multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to complete the summarization-verify-reflection loop in a fully autonomous manner. Rather than designing new architectures for feature extraction or regression, we exploit the understanding and reflective reasoning abilities of MLLMs to build an adaptive summarization framework with a self-reflecting workflow. Experiments on SumMe and TVSum demonstrate that our agentic workflow outperforms state-of-the-art methods, enhancing interpretability, adaptability, and paving the way for agent-based multimodal video understanding.

Reconstructing video content from EEG (electroencephalogram) is a research task of significant scientific importance. However, due to inter-subject differences in physiological states and variations in signal acquisition configurations, this task faces the challenge of inconsistent cross-subject generation.To address this, we propose a Subject Adversarial and Mapping Network (SAM-Net). In SAM-Net, we first introduce a Hybrid Region-Temporal (HRT) Encoder to conduct inter-channel semantic interactions guided by brain regions and aggregate temporal semantics across different time scales. Secondly, we propose a Centered-progressive Subject Adversarial (C-SA) Mechanism to gradually narrow the metric distance between different subjects, thereby obtaining a unified and stable semantic representation. Thirdly, we design a New2Source Mapper to align the EEG distribution of new subjects with that of multiple known subjects. Finally, we adopt a keyframe-guided continuous semantic generation paradigm to drive the production of coherent and high-quality videos. Extensive experiments validate the competitive performance of our SAM-Net in cross-subject EEG-to-Video generation tasks, as well as its excellent performance in generation tasks involving new subjects.

Robust and privacy-preserving indoor scene understanding remains a fundamental open problem. While optical sensors such as RGB and LiDAR offer high spatial fidelity, they suffer from severe occlusions and introduce privacy risks in indoor environments. In contrast, millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar preserves privacy and penetrates obstacles, but its inherently low spatial resolution makes reliable geometric reasoning difficult. We introduce RISE, the first benchmark and system for single static radar indoor scene understanding, jointly targeting layout reconstruction and object detection. RISE is built upon the key insight that multipath reflections--traditionally treated as noise--encode rich geometric cues. To exploit this, we propose a Bi-Angular Multipath Enhancement that explicitly models Angle of Arrival and Angle of Departure to recover secondary (ghost) reflections and reveal invisible structures. On top of these enhanced observations, a simulation-to-reality hierarchical diffusion framework transforms fragmented radar responses into complete layout reconstruction and object detection. Our benchmark contains 50,000 frames collected across 100 real indoor trajectories, forming the first large-scale dataset dedicated to single static radar-based indoor scene understanding. Extensive experiments show that RISE reduces the Chamfer distance by 60% (down to 16 cm) compared to the state of the art in mmWave layout reconstruction, and delivers the first mmWave-based object detection, achieving 58% IoU. These results establish RISE as a new foundation for geometry-aware and privacy-preserving indoor scene understanding using a single static radar.

The quadratic complexity of the attention mechanism severely limits the context scalability of Video Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). We find that the highly sparse spatio-temporal attention patterns exhibited in Video DiTs can be naturally represented by the Monarch matrix. It is a class of structured matrices with flexible sparsity, enabling sub-quadratic attention via an alternating minimization algorithm. Accordingly, we propose VMonarch, a novel attention mechanism for Video DiTs that enables efficient computation over the dynamic sparse patterns with structured Monarch matrices. First, we adapt spatio-temporal Monarch factorization to explicitly capture the intra-frame and inter-frame correlations of the video data. Second, we introduce a recomputation strategy to mitigate artifacts arising from instabilities during alternating minimization of Monarch matrices. Third, we propose a novel online entropy algorithm fused into FlashAttention, enabling fast Monarch matrix updates for long sequences. Extensive experiments demonstrate that VMonarch achieves comparable or superior generation quality to full attention on VBench after minimal fine-tuning. It overcomes the attention bottleneck in Video DiTs, reduces attention FLOPs by a factor of 17.5, and achieves a speedup of over 5 times in attention computation for long videos, surpassing state-of-the-art sparse attention methods at 90% sparsity.

Recent perception-generalist approaches based on language models have achieved state-of-the-art results across diverse tasks, including 3D scene layout estimation and 3D object detection, via unified architecture and interface. However, these approaches rely on autoregressive next-token prediction, which is inherently slow. In this work, we introduce Fast SceneScript, a novel structured language model for accurate and efficient 3D scene understanding. Our method employs multi-token prediction (MTP) to reduce the number of autoregressive iterations and significantly accelerate inference. While MTP improves speed, unreliable token predictions can significantly reduce accuracy. To filter out unreliable tokens, we adapt self-speculative decoding (SSD) for structured language models and introduce confidence-guided decoding (CGD) with an improved scoring mechanism for token reliability. Furthermore, we design a parameter-efficient mechanism that reduces the parameter overhead of MTP. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world benchmarks demonstrate that Fast SceneScript can generate up to 9 tokens per decoder inference step without compromising accuracy, while adding only 7.5% additional parameters.

Transformer-based video diffusion models (VDMs) deliver state-of-the-art video generation quality but are constrained by the quadratic cost of self-attention, making long sequences and high resolutions computationally expensive. While linear attention offers sub-quadratic complexity, previous approaches have failed to match the expressiveness of softmax attention unless retrained at significant computational cost. We introduce Attention Surgery, an efficient framework that enables linear or hybrid attention in pretrained VDMs, eliminating the need for training from scratch. Inspired by recent advances in language models, our method combines a novel hybrid attention mechanism, mixing softmax and linear tokens, with a lightweight distillation and fine-tuning pipeline requiring only a few GPU-days. Additionally, we incorporate a cost-aware block-rate strategy to balance expressiveness and efficiency across layers. Applied to Wan2.1 1.3B, a state-of-the-art efficient transformer VDM and evaluated on VBench, VBench2.0 and a human preference study, Attention Surgery achieves competitive results. Furthermore, measurements of on-mobile latency, memory usage, and FLOPs demonstrate notable improvements in scaling behavior for longer videos.

Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) has achieved remarkable progress in offline conditions, yet its robustness in real-world video conferencing (VC) remains largely unexplored. This paper presents the first systematic evaluation of state-of-the-art AVSR models across mainstream VC platforms, revealing severe performance degradation caused by transmission distortions and spontaneous human hyper-expression. To address this gap, we construct MLD-VC, the first multimodal dataset tailored for VC, comprising 31 speakers, 22.79 hours of audio-visual data, and explicit use of the Lombard effect to enhance human hyper-expression. Through comprehensive analysis, we find that speech enhancement algorithms are the primary source of distribution shift, which alters the first and second formants of audio. Interestingly, we find that the distribution shift induced by the Lombard effect closely resembles that introduced by speech enhancement, which explains why models trained on Lombard data exhibit greater robustness in VC. Fine-tuning AVSR models on MLD-VC mitigates this issue, achieving an average 17.5% reduction in CER across several VC platforms. Our findings and dataset provide a foundation for developing more robust and generalizable AVSR systems in real-world video conferencing. MLD-VC is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/nccm2p2/MLD-VC.

We propose an integrated learning scheme of Video Super-Resolution and Enhancement in Low-Light environment, named VSRELL, which aims to recover Well-Illuminated High-Resolution (WIHR) sequence from Low-Light Low-Resolution (LLLR) counterparts. Due to the complex coupling of multiple degradations, this joint task has received relatively little attention. Our approach jointly models illumination enhancement and spatial-temporal super-resolution to disentangle intertwined degradations. Specifically, we introduce an Illumination-Noise Co-Optimization (INCO) network that employs a dynamic window partitioning strategy to explicitly model physical priors of illumination variations and noise distributions within individual frames of a long-term sequence. This effectively suppresses cross-frame noise accumulation and illumination flickering, achieving simultaneous optimization of motion compensation and brightness correction.Additionally, an Illumination-Sensitive Feature Propagation (ISFP) mechanism is introduced, which utilizes hierarchical illumination-sensing gating unit to adaptively modulate feature channel responses. By adjusting feature propagation intensity and using memory feature attenuation strategy, it can enhance the weighting of high-quality features and suppress error accumulation propagation and strengthen transmission efficiency. The experiments show that VSRELL can explicitly strengthen the brightness continuity and texture fidelity of the restored output, maintaining temporal consistency across the video.

Soccer understanding has recently garnered growing research interest due to its domain-specific complexity and unique challenges.However, prior works typically rely on task-specific expert models, which are resource-intensive and hinder a holistic view of the game.This paper aims to propose a unified framework that enables a single model to handle diverse soccer visual understanding tasks, spanning both fine-grained perception (e.g., athlete detection) and semantic reasoning (e.g., event classification).Concretely, we make the following contributions in this paper:(i) we present **SoccerMaster**, the first soccer-specific vision foundation model that unifies comprehensive understanding tasks within a single framework via **supervised multi-task pretraining**;(ii) we consolidate multiple existing soccer video datasets and develop an automated data curation pipeline, termed as **SoccerFactory**, to produce scalable multi-task training annotations;and (iii) we conduct extensive experiments demonstrating that SoccerMaster consistently outperforms task-specific expert models across diverse downstream tasks, underscoring its breadth and superiority.The data, code, and model will be publicly available to the research community.

While image editing has advanced rapidly, video editing remains less explored, facing challenges in consistency, control, and generalization.We study the design space of data, architecture, and control, and introduce EasyV2V, a simple and effective framework for instruction-based video editing. On the data side, we compose existing experts with fast inverses to build diverse video pairs, lift image edit pairs into videos via single-frame supervision and pseudo pairs with shared affine motion, mine dense-captioned clips for video pairs, and add transition supervision to teach how edits unfold.On the model side, we observe that pretrained text-to-video models possess editing capability, motivating a simplified design. Simple sequence concatenation for conditioning with light LoRA fine-tuning suffices to train a strong model.For control, we unify spatiotemporal control via a single mask mechanism and support optional reference images.Overall, EasyV2V works with flexible inputs, e.g., video+text, video+mask+text, video+mask+reference+text, and achieves state-of-the-art video editing results, surpassing concurrent and commercial systems.

Video Large Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable success in video understanding, but the significant computational cost from processing dense frames severely limits their practical application. Existing methods alleviate this by selecting keyframes, but their greedy decision-making, combined with a decoupled evaluation of relevance and diversity, often falls into local optima and results in erroneously selecting irrelevant noise frames. To address these challenges, we propose GIFT: Global Irreplaceability Frame Targeting, a novel training-free framework that selects frames by assessing their intrinsic irreplaceability. Specifically, we first introduce Directed Diversity to quantify a frame's uniqueness conditioned on relevance, which allows us to formulate a unified irreplaceability score. Subsequently, our Budget-Aware Refinement strategy employs a adaptive iterative process that first secures a core set of frames with the highest irreplaceability, and then shifts its priority to building crucial temporal context around these selections as the budget expands. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GIFT achieves a maximum average improvement of 12.5% across long-form video benchmarks on LLaVA-Video-7B compared to uniform sampling. Code will be released soon.

The rapid development of generative models has significantly advanced image and video applications. Among these, video creation, aimed at generating videos under various conditions, has gained substantial attention. However, existing video creation models either focus solely on a few specific conditions or suffer from excessively long generation times due to complex model inference, making them impractical for real-world applications. To mitigate these issues, we propose an efficient unified video creation model, named VDOT. Concretely, we model the training process with the distribution matching distillation (DMD) paradigm. Instead of using the Kullback-Leibler (KL) minimization, we additionally employ a novel computational optimal transport (OT) technique to optimize the discrepancy between the real and fake score distributions. The OT distance inherently imposes geometric constraints, mitigating potential zero-forcing or gradient collapse issues that may arise during KL-based distillation within the few-step generation scenario, and thus, enhances the efficiency and stability of the distillation process. Further, we integrate a discriminator to enable the model to perceive real video data, thereby enhancing the quality of generated videos. To support training unified video creation models, we propose a fully automated pipeline for video data annotation and filtering that accommodates multiple video creation tasks. Meanwhile, we curate a unified testing benchmark, UVCBench, to advance the field. Experiments demonstrate that our 4-step VDOT outperforms or matches the performance of other baselines with 50 denoising steps. Code is available at https://vdot-page.github.io.

Video question answering (VideoQA) is a challenging task that requires integrating spatial, temporal, and semantic information to capture the complex dynamics of video sequences. Although recent advances have introduced various approaches for video understanding, most existing methods still rely on locating relevant frames to answer questions rather than reasoning through the evolving storyline as humans do. Humans naturally interpret videos through coherent storylines, an ability that is crucial for making robust and contextually grounded predictions. To address this gap, we propose SVAgent, a storyline-guided cross-modal multi-agent framework for VideoQA. The storyline agent progressively constructs a narrative representation based on frames suggested by a refinement suggestion agent that analyzes historical failures. In addition, cross-modal decision agents independently predict answers from visual and textual modalities under the guidance of the evolving storyline. Their outputs are then evaluated by a meta-agent to align cross-modal predictions and enhance reasoning robustness and answer consistency. Experimental results demonstrate that SVAgent achieves superior performance and interpretability by emulating human-like storyline reasoning in video understanding.

Existing video omnimatte methods typically rely on slow, multi-stage, or inference-time optimization pipelines that fail to fully exploit powerful generative priors, producing suboptimal decompositions. Our key insight is that, if a video inpainting model can be finetuned to remove the foreground-associated effects, then it must be inherently capable of perceiving these effects, and hence can also be finetuned for the complementary task: foreground layer decomposition with associated effects. However, although naively finetuning the inpainting model with LoRA applied to all blocks can produce high-quality alpha mattes, it fails to capture associated effects. Our systematic analysis reveals this arises because effect-related cues are primarily encoded in specific DiT blocks and become suppressed when LoRA is applied across all blocks. To address this, we introduce EasyOmnimatte, the first unified, end-to-end video omnimatte method. Concretely, we finetune a pretrained video inpainting diffusion model to learn dual complementary experts while keeping its original weights intact: an Effect Expert, where LoRA is applied only to effect-sensitive DiT blocks to capture the coarse structure of the foreground and associated effects, and a fully LoRA-finetuned Quality Expert learns to refine the alpha matte. During sampling, Effect Expert is used for denoising at early, high-noise steps, while Quality Expert takes over at later, low-noise steps. This design eliminates the need for two full diffusion passes, significantly reducing computational cost without compromising output quality. Ablation studies validate the effectiveness of this Dual-Expert strategy. Experiments demonstrate that EasyOmnimatte sets a new state-of-the-art for video omnimatte and enables various downstream tasks, significantly outperforming baselines in both quality and efficiency.

The task of video geolocalization aims to determine the precise GPS coordinates of a video's origin and map its trajectory; with applications in forensics, social media, and exploration. Existing classification-based approaches operate at a coarse city-level granularity and fail to capture fine-grained details, while image retrieval methods are impractical on a global scale due to the need for extensive image galleries which are infeasible to compile. Comparatively, constructing a gallery of GPS coordinates is straightforward and inexpensive. We propose VidTAG, a dual-encoder framework that performs frame-to-GPS retrieval using both self-supervised and language-aligned features. To address temporal inconsistencies in video predictions, we introduce the TempGeo module, which aligns frame embeddings, and the GeoRefiner module, an encoder-decoder architecture that refines GPS features using said aligned frame embeddings. Evaluations on Mapillary (MSLS) and GAMa datasets demonstrate our model's ability to generate temporally consistent trajectories and outperform baselines, achieving a 20% improvement at the 1 km threshold over GeoCLIP. We also beat current State-of-the-Art by 25% on global coarse grained video geolocalization (CityGuessr68k). Our approach enables fine-grained video geolocalization and lays a strong foundation for future research. More details on the project webpage: parthpk.github.io/vidtag webpage.

Open-vocabulary 3D scene understanding enables users to segment novel objects in complex 3D environments through natural language. However, existing approaches remain slow, memory-intensive, and overly complex due to iterative optimization and dense per-Gaussian feature assignments. To address this, we propose LightSplat, a fast and memory-efficient training-free framework that injects compact 2-byte semantic indices into 3D representations from multi-view images. By assigning semantic indices only to salient regions and managing them with a lightweight index-feature mapping, LightSplat eliminates costly feature optimization and storage overhead. We further ensure semantic consistency and efficient inference via single-step clustering that links geometrically and semantically related masks in 3D. We evaluate our method on LERF-OVS, ScanNet, and DL3DV-OVS across complex indoor-outdoor scenes. As a result, LightSplat achieves state-of-the-art performance with up to 50-400x speedup and 64x lower memory, enabling scalable language-driven 3D understanding.
