Breaking Grid Constraints: Dynamic Graph Reconstruction Network for Multi-organ Segmentation

Junhao Xiao, Yang Wei, Jingyu Wang, Yongchao Wang, Xiuli Bi, Bin Xiao

展开摘要

Morphological differences and dense spatial relations of organs make multi-organ segmentation challenging. Current segmentation networks, primarily based on CNNs and Transformers, represent organs by aggregating information within fixed regions. However, aggregated representations often fail to accurately describe the shape differences and spatial relationships of multi-organs, which leads to imprecise morphological modeling and ambiguous boundary representation. In response, we propose a novel multi-organ segmentation network via dynamic graph reconstruction, called DGRNet. Unlike existing approaches, DGRNet employs a graph-based paradigm to reconstruct multi-organs and leverages the topological flexibility of graphs to represent irregular organ morphology. Based on graph connectivity, the precise information interaction makes more efficient multi-organ modeling. Furthermore, DGRNet introduces a category-aware guidance mechanism that utilizes organ category-specific priors to explicitly define inter-organ boundaries, addressing the issue of ambiguous margin delineation in multi-organ regions. We conducted extensive experiments on five datasets (including CT and MRI), showing that DGRNet outperforms state-of-the-art methods and models complex multi-organ areas better, highlighting its effectiveness and robustness.

BoxDreamer: Dreaming Box Corners for Generalizable Object Pose Estimation

Yuanhong Yu, Xingyi He, Chen Zhao, Junhao Yu, Jiaqi Yang, Ruizhen Hu, Yujun Shen, Xing Zhu, Xiaowei Zhou, Sida Peng

展开摘要

This paper presents a generalizable RGB-based approach for object pose estimation, specifically designed to address challenges in sparse-view settings. While existing methods can estimate the poses of unseen objects, their generalization ability remains limited in scenarios involving occlusions and sparse reference views, restricting their real-world applicability. To overcome these limitations, we introduce corner points of the object bounding box as an intermediate representation of the object pose. The 3D object corners can be reliably recovered from sparse input views, while the 2D corner points in the target view are estimated through a novel reference-based point synthesizer, which works well even in scenarios involving occlusions. As object semantic points, object corners naturally establish 2D-3D correspondences for object pose estimation with a PnP algorithm. Extensive experiments on the YCB-Video and Occluded-LINEMOD datasets show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods, highlighting the effectiveness of the proposed representation and significantly enhancing the generalization capabilities of object pose estimation, which is crucial for real-world applications.

Boundary Probing for Input Privacy Protection When Using LMM Services

Xiaofei Hui, Haoxuan Qu, Ping Hu, Hossein Rahmani, Jun Liu

展开摘要

Alongside the rapid development of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) like GPT-4V, privacy concerns also rise. As LMMs are commonly deployed as cloud services, users are typically required to upload their personal images and videos to the cloud to access these services, raising great concerns about visual privacy leakage. In this paper, we investigate the critical but underexplored problem of keeping LMM's good performance while protecting visual privacy information in the input data. We tackle this problem in the practical scenario where the LMM remains a black box, i.e., we can only access its input and output without knowing the LMM's internal information. To address such a challenging problem, we propose a new Privacy-Aware Boundary Probing (PABP) framework, which, from a novel perspective, converts this problem into a privacy optimization problem guided by the decision boundary between the "satisfactory" and "unsatisfactory" LMM utility states. We propose two tailored schemes, Gradually-Expanding-Probing (GEP) and Prior-Guided-Probing (PGP), to maintain satisfactory LMM performance while achieving privacy protection. We show the effectiveness of our framework on different benchmarks.

Borrowing Eyes for the Blind Spot: Overcoming Data Scarcity in Malicious Video Detection via Cross-Domain Retrieval Augmentation

Rongpei Hong, Jian Lang, Ting Zhong, Fan Zhou

展开摘要

The rapid proliferation of online video-sharing platforms has accelerated the spread of malicious videos, creating an urgent need for robust detection methods. However, the performance and generalizability of existing detection approaches are severely limited by the scarcity of annotated video data, as manually curating large-scale malicious detection datasets is both labor-intensive and impractical. To address this challenge, we propose CRAVE, a novel CRoss-domAin retrieVal augmEntation framework that transfers knowledge from resource-rich image-text domain to enhance malicious video detection. Specifically, CRAVE introduces a Pseudo-Pair Retriever to identify semantically relevant image-text data for high-quality cross-domain augmentation. Additionally, a Contrastive Cross-Domain Augmenter is designed to disentangle domain-shared and -unique representations, effectively bridging the domain gaps during knowledge transfer. These shared image-text representations are then leveraged to refine video representations, yielding more discriminative features for accurate malicious content detection. Experiments on four video datasets demonstrate that CRAVE largely outperforms competitive baselines in both performance and generalization, providing an innovative and strong solution to the issue of video data-scarcity.

Bootstrapping Grounded Chain-of-Thought in Multimodal LLMs for Data-Efficient Model Adaptation

Jiaer Xia, Bingkui Tong, Yuhang Zang, Rui Shao, Kaiyang Zhou

展开摘要

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in interpreting images using natural language. However, without using large-scale datasets for retraining, these models are difficult to adapt to specialized vision tasks, e.g., chart understanding. This problem is caused by a mismatch between pre-training and downstream datasets: pre-training datasets primarily concentrate on scenes and objects but contain limited information about specialized, non-object images, such as charts and tables. In this paper, we share an interesting finding that training an MLLM with chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning data can facilitate model adaptation in specialized vision tasks, especially under data-limited regimes. However, we identify a critical issue within CoT data distilled from pre-trained MLLMs, i.e., the data often contains multiple factual errors in the reasoning steps. To address the problem, we propose Grounded Chain-of-Thought (GCoT), a simple bootstrapping-based approach that aims to inject grounding information (i.e., bounding boxes) into CoT data, essentially making the reasoning steps more faithful to input images. We evaluate our approach on five specialized vision tasks, which cover a variety of visual formats including charts, tables, receipts, and reports. The results demonstrate that under data-limited regimes our approach significantly improves upon fine-tuning and distillation.

Bootstrap3D: Improving Multi-view Diffusion Model with Synthetic Data

Zeyi Sun, Tong Wu, Pan Zhang, Yuhang Zang, Xiaoyi Dong, Yuanjun Xiong, Dahua Lin, Jiaqi Wang

展开摘要

Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in multi-view diffusion models for 3D content creation. However, there remains a significant gap in image quality and prompt-following ability compared to 2D diffusion models. A critical bottleneck is the scarcity of high-quality 3D data with detailed captions. To address this challenge, we propose Bootstrap3D, a novel framework that automatically generates filtered multi-view images to assist in training multi-view diffusion models. Specifically, we introduce a data generation pipeline that employs (1) 2D and video diffusion models to generate multi-view images based on constructed text prompts, and (2) our fine-tuned 3D-aware MV-LLaVA for filtering data and rewriting inaccurate captions. Leveraging this pipeline, we have generated large scale synthetic multi-view images with dense descriptive captions. Furthermore, we present a Training Timestep Reschedule (TTR) strategy that leverages the denoising process to learn multi-view consistency while maintaining the original 2D diffusion prior. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Bootstrap3D can generate high-quality multi-view images with superior aesthetic quality, image-text alignment, and view consistency.

Boosting Vision Semantic Density with Anatomy Normality Modeling for Medical Vision-language Pre-training

Weiwei Cao, Jianpeng Zhang, Zhongyi Shui, Sinuo Wang, Zeli Chen, Xi Li, Le Lu, Xianghua Ye, Qi Zhang, Tingbo Liang, Ling Zhang

展开摘要

Vision-language pre-training (VLP) has great potential for developing multifunctional and general medical diagnostic capabilities. However, aligning medical images with a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to reports with a high SNR presents a semantic density gap, leading to visual alignment bias. In this paper, we propose boosting vision semantic density to improve alignment effectiveness. On the one hand, we enhance visual semantics through disease-level vision contrastive learning, which strengthens the model's ability to differentiate between normal and abnormal samples for each anatomical structure. On the other hand, we introduce an anatomical normality modeling method to model the distribution of normal samples for each anatomy, leveraging VQ-VAE for reconstructing normal vision embeddings in latent space. This process amplifies abnormal signals by leveraging distribution shifts in abnormal samples, enhancing the model's perception and discrimination of abnormal attributes. The enhanced visual representation effectively captures the diagnostic-relevant semantics, facilitating more efficient and accurate alignment with the diagnostic report. We conduct extensive experiments on two chest CT datasets, CT-RATE and Rad-ChestCT, and an abdominal CT dataset, MedVL-69K, and comprehensively evaluate the diagnosis performance across multiple tasks in the chest and abdominal CT scenarios, achieving state-of-the-art zero-shot performance. Notably, our method achieved an average AUC of 84.9% across 54 diseases in 15 organs, significantly surpassing existing methods. Additionally, we demonstrate the superior transfer learning capabilities of our pre-trained model.

Boosting Multimodal Learning via Disentangled Gradient Learning

Shicai Wei, Chunbo Luo, Yang Luo

展开摘要

Multimodal learning often encounters the under-optimized problem and may have worse performance than unimodal learning. Existing methods attribute this problem to the imbalanced learning between modalities and rebalance them through gradient modulation. However, they fail to explain why the dominant modality in multimodal models also underperforms that in unimodal learning. In this work, we reveal the optimization conflict between the modality encoder and modality fusion module in multimodal models. Specifically, we prove that the cross-modal fusion in multimodal models decreases the gradient passed back to each modality encoder compared with unimodal models. Consequently, the performance of each modality in the multimodal model is inferior to that in the unimodal model. To this end, we propose a disentangled gradient learning (DGL) framework to decouple the optimization of the modality encoder and modality fusion module in the multimodal model. DGL truncates the gradient back-propagated from the multimodal loss to the modality encoder and replaces it with the gradient from unimodal loss. Besides, DGL removes the gradient back-propagated from the unimodal loss to the modality fusion module. This helps eliminate the gradient interference between the modality encoder and modality fusion module while ensuring their respective optimization processes. Finally, extensive experiments on multiple types of modalities, tasks, and frameworks with dense cross-modal interaction demonstrate the effectiveness and versatility of the proposed DGL.

Boosting Multi-View Indoor 3D Object Detection via Adaptive 3D Volume Construction

Runmin Zhang, Zhu Yu, Si-Yuan Cao, Lingyu Zhu, Guangyi Zhang, Xiaokai Bai, Hui-liang Shen

展开摘要

This work presents SGCDet, a novel multi-view indoor 3D object detection framework based on adaptive 3D volume construction. Unlike previous approaches that restrict the receptive field of voxels to fixed locations on images, we introduce a geometry and context aware aggregation module to integrate geometric and contextual information within adaptive regions in each image and dynamically adjust the contributions from different views, enhancing the representation capability of voxel features. Furthermore, we propose a sparse volume construction strategy that adaptively identifies and selects voxels with high occupancy probabilities for feature refinement, minimizing redundant computation in free space. Benefiting from the above designs, our framework achieves effective and efficient volume construction in an adaptive way. Better still, our network can be supervised using only 3D bounding boxes, eliminating the dependence on ground-truth scene geometry. Experimental results demonstrate that SGCDet achieves state-of-the-art performance on the ScanNet, ScanNet200 and ARKitScenes datasets.

Boosting MLLM Reasoning with Text-Debiased Hint-GRPO

Qihan Huang, Weilong Dai, Jinlong Liu, Wanggui He, Hao Jiang, Mingli Song, Jingyuan Chen, Chang Yao, Jie Song

展开摘要

MLLM reasoning has drawn widespread research for its excellent problem-solving capability. Current reasoning methods fall into two types: PRM, which supervises the intermediate reasoning steps, and ORM, which supervises the final results. Recently, DeepSeek-R1 has challenged the traditional view that PRM outperforms ORM, which demonstrates strong generalization performance using an ORM method (i.e., GRPO). However, current MLLM's GRPO algorithms still struggle to handle challenging and complex multimodal reasoning tasks (e.g., mathematical reasoning). In this work, we reveal two problems that impede the performance of GRPO on the MLLM: Low data utilization and Text-bias. Low data utilization refers to that GRPO cannot acquire positive rewards to update the MLLM on difficult samples, and text-bias is a phenomenon that the MLLM bypasses image condition and solely relies on text condition for generation after GRPO training. To tackle these problems, this work proposes Hint-GRPO that improves data utilization by adaptively providing hints for samples of varying difficulty, and text-bias calibration that mitigates text-bias by calibrating the token prediction logits with image condition in test-time. Experiment results on three base MLLMs across eleven datasets demonstrate that our proposed methods advance the reasoning capability of original MLLM by a large margin, exhibiting superior performance to existing MLLM reasoning methods. Our code is available at https://github.com/hqhQAQ/Hint-GRPO.

Boosting Generative Adversarial Transferability with Self-supervised Vision Transformer Features

Shangbo Wu, Yu-an Tan, Ruinan Ma, Wencong Ma, Dehua Zhu, Yuanzhang Li

展开摘要

The ability of deep neural networks (DNNs) come from extracting and interpreting features from the data provided. By exploiting intermediate features in DNNs instead of relying on hard labels, we craft adversarial perturbation that generalize more effectively, boosting black-box transferability. These features ubiquitously come from supervised learning in previous work. Inspired by the exceptional synergy between self-supervised learning and the Transformer architecture, this paper explores whether exploiting self-supervised Vision Transformer (ViT) representations can improve adversarial transferability. We present dSVA---a generative dual self-supervised ViT features attack, that exploits both global structural features from contrastive learning (CL) and local textural features from masked image modeling (MIM), the self-supervised learning paradigm duo for ViTs. We design a novel generative training framework that incorporates a generator to create black-box adversarial examples, and strategies to train the generator by exploiting joint features and the attention mechanism of self-supervised ViTs. Our findings show that CL and MIM enable ViTs to attend to distinct feature tendencies, which, when exploited in tandem, boast great adversarial generalizability. By disrupting dual deep features distilled by self-supervised ViTs, we are rewarded with remarkable black-box transferability to models of various architectures that outperform state-of-the-arts.

Boosting Domain Generalized and Adaptive Detection with Diffusion Models: Fitness, Generalization, and Transferability

Boyong He, Yuxiang Ji, Zhuoyue Tan, Liaoni Wu

展开摘要

Detectors often suffer from performance drop due to domain gap between training and testing data. Recent methods explore diffusion models applied to domain generalization (DG) and adaptation (DA) tasks, but still struggle with large inference costs and have not yet fully leveraged the capabilities of diffusion models. We propose to tackle these problems by extracting intermediate features from a single-step diffusion process, improving feature collection and fusion to reduce inference time by 75% while enhancing performance on source domains (i.e., Fitness). Then, we construct an object-centered auxiliary branch by applying box-masked images with class prompts to extract robust and domain-invariant features that focus on object. We also apply consistency loss to align the auxiliary and ordinary branch, balancing fitness and generalization while preventing overfitting and improving performance on target domains (i.e., Generalization). Furthermore, within a unified framework, standard detectors are guided by diffusion detectors through feature-level and object-level alignment on source domains (for DG) and unlabeled target domains (for DA), thereby improving cross-domain detection performance (i.e., Transferability). Our method achieves competitive results on 3 DA benchmarks and 5 DG benchmarks. Additionally, experiments on COCO generalization benchmark demonstrate that our method maintains significant advantages and show remarkable efficiency in large domain shifts and low-data scenarios. Our work shows the superiority of applying diffusion models to domain generalized and adaptive detection tasks and offers valuable insights for visual perception tasks across diverse domains.

Boosting Class Representation via Semantically Related Instances for Robust Long-Tailed Learning with Noisy Labels

Yuhang Li, Zhuying Li, Yuheng Jia

展开摘要

The problem of learning from long-tailed noisy data, referred to as Long-Tailed Noisy Label Learning (LTNLL), presents significant challenges in deep learning. LTNLL datasets are typically affected by two primary issues: class imbalance and label noise. While previous methods have addressed these problems separately, the simultaneous presence of both in real-world applications remains underexplored. In this paper, we introduce a simple yet effective method, Instances Benefitting Classes (IBC). Our philosophy is to simultaneously overcome overfitting to noisy classes and transfer knowledge between semantically related classes. At the instance level, we propose selecting top-k semantically similar classes and use them to construct soft labels. Specifically, we soften noisy hard labels by reducing the probability of noisy classes and reallocating this probability to the semantically similar classes. This reduces the model's overconfidence in noisy classes while enhancing its focus on tail classes. We next propose a novel shot-specific multi-expert ensemble learning framework to make knowledge transfer more targeted, where we maintain multiple shot-specific soft labels for each instance, with each expert supervised by one of these labels. By integrating these experts, we demonstrate that IBC exhibits more separable representations, improving both overall and partition performance. Extensive experiments show that IBC outperforms existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods on a variety of benchmark and real-world datasets, achieving improvements ranging from 1.89% to 4.99% on the CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 datasets across all settings.

Boosting Adversarial Transferability via Residual Perturbation Attack

Jinjia Peng, Zeze Tao, Huibing Wang, Meng Wang, Yang Wang

展开摘要

Deep neural networks are susceptible to adversarial examples while suffering from incorrect predictions via imperceptible perturbations. Transfer-based attacks create adversarial examples for surrogate models and transfer these examples to target models under black-box scenarios. Recent studies reveal that adversarial examples in flat loss landscapes exhibit superior transferability to alleviate overfitting on surrogate models. However, the prior arts overlook the influence of perturbation directions, resulting in limited transferability. In this paper, we propose a novel attack method, named Residual Perturbation Attack (ResPA), relying on the residual gradient as the perturbation direction to guide the adversarial examples toward the flat regions of the loss function. Specifically, ResPA conducts an exponential moving average on the input gradients to obtain the first moment as the reference gradient, which encompasses the direction of historical gradients. Instead of heavily relying on the local flatness that stems from the current gradients as the perturbation direction, ResPA further considers the residual between the current gradient and the reference gradient to capture the changes in the global perturbation direction. The experimental results demonstrate the better transferability of ResPA than the existing typical transfer-based attack methods, while the transferability can be further improved by combining ResPA with the current input transformation methods. The code is available at https://github.com/ZezeTao/ResPA.

Boosting Adversarial Transferability via Negative Hessian Trace Regularization

YUNFEI LONG, Zilin Tian, Liguo Zhang, Huosheng Xu

展开摘要

Transferability makes the black-box attacks to be practical. Recent studies demonstrate that adversarial examples situated at the flat maxima on the loss landscape tend to exhibit higher transferability and propose effective strategies to optimize adversarial examples to converge toward that region. However, these works primarily consider the first-order gradient regularization and have yet to explore higher-order geometry properties of the flat loss landscape, which may lead to suboptimal results. In this work, we propose leveraging the trace of the Hessian matrix of loss function with respect to the adversarial example as a curvature-aware regularizer. For computationally efficient, we introduce an approximation method for the trace based on stochastic estimation and finite difference. We theoretically and empirically demonstrate that the trace of Hessian matrices for adversarial examples near local loss maxima is consistently negative. Following this insight, we propose **Negative Hessian Trace Regularization (NHTR)**, explicitly penalizing the negative Hessian trace to suppress curvature. Compared to existing first-order regularization methods, NHTR can generate adversarial examples at flatter local regions. Extensive experimental results on the ImageNet-compatible and CIFAR-10 datasets show that NHTR can significantly improve adversarial transferability than the state-of-the-art attacks.

Boost 3D Reconstruction using Diffusion-based Monocular Camera Calibration

Junyuan Deng, Wei Yin, Xiaoyang Guo, Qian Zhang, Xiaotao Hu, Weiqiang Ren, Xiao-Xiao Long, Ping Tan

展开摘要

In this paper, we present DM-Calib, a diffusion-based approach for estimating pinhole camera intrinsic parameters from a single input image. Monocular camera calibration is essential for many 3D vision tasks. However, most existing methods depend on handcrafted assumptions or are constrained by limited training data, resulting in poor generalization across diverse real-world images. Recent advancements in stable diffusion models, trained on massive data, have shown the ability to generate high-quality images with varied characteristics. Emerging evidence indicates that these models implicitly capture the relationship between camera focal length and image content. Building on this insight, we explore how to leverage the powerful priors of diffusion models for monocular pinhole camera calibration. Specifically, we introduce a new image-based representation, termed Camera Image, which losslessly encodes the numerical camera intrinsics and integrates seamlessly with the diffusion framework. Using this representation, we reformulate the problem of estimating camera intrinsics as the generation of a dense Camera Image conditioned on an input image. By fine-tuning a stable diffusion model to generate a Camera Image from a single RGB input, we can extract camera intrinsics via a RANSAC operation. We further demonstrate that our monocular calibration method enhances performance across various 3D tasks, including zero-shot metric depth estimation, 3D metrology, pose estimation and sparse-view reconstruction. Extensive experiments on multiple public datasets show that our approach significantly outperforms baselines and provides broad benefits to 3D vision tasks.

Stanislaw Szymanowicz, Jason Y. Zhang, Pratul Srinivasan, Ruiqi Gao, Arthur Brussee, Aleksander Holynski, Ricardo Martin Brualla, Jonathan T. Barron, Philipp Henzler

展开摘要

We present a latent diffusion model for fast feed-forward 3D scene generation. Given one or more images, our model Bolt3D directly samples a 3D scene representation in less than seven seconds on a single GPU. We achieve this by leveraging powerful and scalable existing 2D diffusion network architectures to produce consistent high-fidelity 3D scene representations. To train this model, we create a large-scale multiview-consistent dataset of 3D geometry and appearance by applying state-of-the-art dense 3D reconstruction techniques to existing multiview image datasets. Compared to prior multiview generative models that require per-scene optimization for 3D reconstruction, Bolt3D reduces the inference cost by a factor of 300 times.

Bokehlicious: Photorealistic Bokeh Rendering with Controllable Apertures

Tim Seizinger, Florin-Alexandru Vasluianu, Marcos V. Conde, Zongwei Wu, Radu Timofte

展开摘要

Bokeh rendering methods play a key role in creating the visually appealing, softly blurred backgrounds seen in professional photography. While recent learning-based approaches show promising results, generating realistic Bokeh with controllable strength remains challenging. Existing methods require additional inputs and suffer from unrealistic Bokeh reproduction due to reliance on synthetic data. In this work, we propose Bokehlicious, a highly efficient network that provides intuitive control over Bokeh strength through an Aperture-Aware Attention mechanism, mimicking the physical lens aperture. To further address the lack of high-quality real-world data, we present RealBokeh, a novel dataset featuring 23,000 high-resolution (24-MP) images captured by professional photographers, covering diverse scenes with varied aperture and focal length settings. Evaluations on both our new RealBokeh and established Bokeh rendering benchmarks show that Bokehlicious consistently outperforms SOTA methods while significantly reducing computational cost and exhibiting strong zero-shot generalization. Our method and dataset further extend to defocus deblurring, achieving competitive results on the RealDOF benchmark. Our code and data will be public.

BokehDiff: Neural Lens Blur with One-Step Diffusion

Chengxuan Zhu, Qingnan Fan, Qi Zhang, Jinwei Chen, Huaqi Zhang, Chao Xu, Boxin Shi

展开摘要

We introduce Bokehdiff, a novel lens blur rendering method that achieves physically accurate and visually appealing outcomes, with the help of generative diffusion prior. Previous methods are bounded by the accuracy of depth estimation, generating artifacts in depth discontinuities. Our method employs a physics-inspired self-attention module that aligns with the image formation process, incorporating depth-dependent circle of confusion constraint and self-occlusion effects. We adapt the diffusion model to the one-step inference scheme without introducing additional noise, and achieve results of high quality and fidelity. To address the lack of scalable paired data, we propose to synthesize photorealistic foregrounds with transparency with diffusion models, balancing authenticity and scene diversity.

BlueNeg: A 35mm Negative Film Dataset for Restoring Channel-Heterogeneous Deterioration

Hanyuan Liu, Chengze Li, Minshan Xie, Zhenni Wang, Jiawen Liang, Chi-Sing Leung, Tien-Tsin Wong

展开摘要

While digitally acquired photographs have been dominating since around 2000, there remains a huge amount of legacy photographs being acquired by optical cameras and are stored in the form of film negatives. In this paper, we address the unique challenge of channel-heterogeneous deterioration in film negatives and introduce BlueNeg, the first high-quality 35mm negative film dataset specifically designed for restoration in this context. Our work aims to spotlight this underexplored area of image restoration on channel-heterogeneous deterioration. A key challenge in evaluating restoration performance is the absence of ground truth, as many negatives are already contaminated. To overcome this, we utilize printed photographs from the same negatives as proxies for quantitative assessment. These prints, while affected by spatially invariant color fading, are less affected from channel-heterogeneous degradation. We propose a reverse-printing process to estimate pseudo-ground truth from the prints and introduce a dedicated evaluation protocol. Our empirical analysis shows that existing restoration methods struggle with this dataset, highlighting the need for specialized techniques. We hope that BlueNeg and our evaluation framework will inspire further research in legacy photograph restoration, contributing to the digital preservation of historical moments for archival use. Our dataset is publicly available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/ttgroup/blueneg-release and https://blueneg.github.io
