Reconstructing Humans and Objects in Interaction using Large Reconstruction Models

Agniv Chatterjee, Georgios Pavlakos

Estimation of Human-Object Interactions in 3D (3D HOI) is a fundamental problem in 3D computer vision with applications in AR/VR, robotics, and embodied AI. However, reconstructing these interactions in 3D remains challenging due to depth ambiguities, occlusions, and object shape variability. Existing approaches are primarily concerned with reprojection and contact constraints, fitting parametric human models and object templates to 2D images. In this paper, we explore a different avenue. We present MILO, a framework that leverages the visual capabilities of Large Reconstruction Models (LRMs) to recover detailed 3D human-object interactions from a single image. Our key observation is that LRMs provide a powerful geometric scaffold that preserves relative human-object arrangement and proximity cues. This significantly simplifies the reconstruction procedure, reframing the problem as interpreting the LRM mesh: we segment it into human and object components, fit a parametric body model to the human part, and optionally align an object template to the object part (if such a template is available). MILO achieves strong reconstruction accuracy and outperforms existing baselines across multiple benchmarks and interaction scenarios. Our code is available at https://ac5113.github.io/MILO.

CLAP: Cross-Embodiment Video World Models are Zero-Shot Physical Simulators

Kechen Liu, Ola Shorinwa

State-of-the-art action-conditioned video models are typically restricted to a single robot embodiment, preventing them from leveraging the vast corpus of heterogeneous video data that contains rich signals for learning generalizable physics. To bridge this gap, we introduce CLAP, a framework for cross-embodiment action-conditioned video generation capable of being trained on diverse, internet-scale videos across human and robotic agents. CLAP is grounded in the insight that universal physical laws govern spatiotemporal dynamics regardless of the actor. However, cross-embodiment learning is non-trivial because action representations vary sharply across robot platforms and are typically absent in human videos. CLAP addresses this fundamental challenge through the following core contributions. First, CLAP reconciles disparate action spaces using end-effector poses, language instructions, and latent actions. Second, to resolve their individual limitations, CLAP introduces a curriculum-based cross-embodiment learning recipe that first learns foundational physical priors across unlabeled video data using latent actions and subsequently grounds them in end-effector action spaces for zero-shot deployment to real-world tasks. Crucially, CLAP approaches or surpasses state-of-the-art single-embodiment video models in challenging environments like DROID. These performance advantages compound via few-shot adaptation to establish a novel paradigm for training single-embodiment video world models. Ultimately, CLAP delivers the most comprehensive suite of action-conditioned video world models to date - spanning diverse action-conditioning spaces (end-effector, language, and latent) and robot morphologies (including cross-embodiment, DROID, Bridge, bimanual YAM robots, and G1 humanoids). We open-source all code and models. Project Website at https://omni-clap.github.io .

LeVJEPA: Efficient & Scalable Video Pretraining without the Heuristics

Lukas Kuhn, Lucas Maes, Giuseppe Serra, Quentin Le Lidec, Yann LeCun, Randall Balestriero, Florian Buettner

Video carries the temporal structure of the physical world, yet learning representations from it has remained computationally expensive: prevailing self-supervised methods either prevent representation collapse through architectural asymmetries, coupling an exponential-moving-average target encoder, a stop-gradient, and a capacity-limited predictor, or circumvent it by reconstructing masked content in pixel space. We introduce LeVJEPA, the first video encoder trained under LeJEPA's collapse-free objective, which dispenses with both. A single encoder is trained with an invariance loss over global and local views of a clip, regularized by SIGReg, which excludes collapse with a provable guarantee. The architecture reduces to an encoder and a projector, and the objective to a single hyperparameter. This formulation admits two properties. First, the cost of pretraining is governed by the number of tokens the encoder observes; uniform random token dropping renders this number small while simultaneously improving downstream accuracy. At matched epochs on identical data, LeVJEPA matches or surpasses V-JEPA 2 across ViT-S/B/L at 5.6 to 20.8x less pretraining compute, and at matched total FLOPs it exceeds the strongest video baseline by 7.6 points on ImageNet-1K while remaining competitive on motion-centric benchmarks. Second, since no asymmetry between branches is required, the encoder can be trained with block-causal attention at no measurable accuracy cost: temporal ordering becomes a property of the encoder itself. Against a compute-matched DINOv2 trained on frames of the same videos, LeVJEPA approaches the image-pretrained encoder on appearance-centric evaluation while nearly doubling its motion-centric accuracy. These results indicate that, once its computational overhead is removed, video becomes a viable and in several respects preferable substrate for general-purpose visual pretraining.

KnockGS:interaction-Grounded Calibrationof Physical Gaussian Representations

Chenchen Ge, Hanwen Shen, Bowen Jing, Jiyuan Cai, Xiaofeng Wang, Hongsen Lei, Weitao Zhou, Dandan Zhang, Haibao Yu

Physics-integrated 3D Gaussian representations now allow reconstructed deformable objects to be simulated and rendered under explicit material models. Existing pipelines, however, assume that material parameters are known or manually specified, limiting their applicability when these parameters must be inferred from observed object dynamics. We propose KnockGS, an interaction-response PhysicalGS framework that estimates the elasticity and density scales of a 3D Gaussian object from its dynamics under a known applied force. Rather than treating physical simulation only as a forward process, we turn the force-induced response into a calibration signal: temporal response features are xtracted from the observed dynamics, the two material scales are estimated from those features, and the estimate is then frozen and written back into the same simulator so that it can be tested on an interaction it was never fitted to.We evaluate the framework on both parameter recovery and response-level fidelity. The estimated scales are compared against hidden ground truth, and the re-simulated object is measured against the target using 3D particle trajectories, response-curve statistics, and rendered-frame quality. Across five held-out material targets, our method recovers the scales substantially more accurately than response retrieval, global regression, or a fixed default material, and the frozen estimate remains predictive under interactions that differ in direction and in magnitude. Interaction response therefore carries enough information to calibrate material scales in physically grounded 3D Gaussian representations.Our study is a first step toward interactive PhysicalGS systems that calibrate a Gaussian asset whose rendered appearance and simulated response are consistent.

R2M-Bench: Evaluating Revisit Memory via Relative Consistency in Interactive Video World Models

Qiwen Gu, Bingjie Gao, Rui Chen, Geng Li, Jifan Li, Qishuai Wen, Li Niu, Jing Tang, Xiangxiang Chu, Junqiao Zhao

High similarity between first-visit and return frames does not necessarily show that a video world model remembered the scene; the intervening rollout may simply have changed very little. This ambiguity makes absolute revisit scores sensitive to rendering stability, repetitive content, and failed motion. We introduce \emph{R2M-Bench} (\textbf{R}elative \textbf{R}evisit \textbf{M}emory Benchmark), a benchmark of observable revisit-selective consistency. For every detected return, R2M-Bench compares the revisit pair with two controls from the same rollout: a gap-matched non-revisit pair that measures generic temporal stability and a short-range pair that estimates short-horizon consistency. These comparisons produce \emph{MemoryGain} (MG), the revisit advantage over the temporal baseline, and the \emph{Normalized Memory Ratio} (NMR), which normalizes this advantage by the short-to-baseline dynamic range. R2M-Bench combines 100 reference scenes with three leave-and-return trajectories to form 300 instances and evaluates appearance fidelity, scene and object identity, local geometry, and persistent state. Across seven action-conditioned video world models, Overall NMR correlates with human consistency judgments at Spearman's $ρ=0.547$ (95\% CI $[0.45,0.63]$). Its within-model correlation magnitude with generated motion is $0.072$, compared with $0.207$ for raw revisit similarity, indicating that relative calibration substantially reduces the slow-motion shortcut. DreamX-World-Memo achieves the highest Overall NMR among the evaluated video models. Together, these results support same-rollout relative calibration as a practical way to distinguish revisit-specific consistency from generic temporal stability.

Comparative Evaluation of 3D Reconstruction Methods for Immersive Visualization of Laboratory Objects

Brian De La Cruz, Aaron Y. Zhao, Maitrey Gramopadhye, Sawyer J. Lazar, Xianming Tan, Daniel Szafir, David S. Lawrence

In this study, we examined whether current 3D reconstruction methods can support the creation of realistic holographic representations of laboratory objects for educational use. In this regard, we compared four approaches: photogrammetry, a neural radiance field (NeRF)-based method, Gaussian splatting, and LiDAR. These methods were used to generate holographic models of common laboratory items and their fidelity was evaluated by graduate students. Participants assessed the models for shape, color, texture, and visual defects using a repeated-measures design. Across objects, the NeRF-based method produced the most consistently high-fidelity representations, particularly for transparent, reflective, or low-texture items that were difficult to capture with other approaches. Shape and color were generally reproduced more successfully than texture, suggesting that some visual properties remain more challenging to represent accurately in educational holograms. Beyond identifying the strengths and limitations of each reconstruction method, the study demonstrates a practical workflow for creating immersive learning objects that may support pre-laboratory preparation, spatial reasoning, and student engagement in AR/MR-based educational environments. These findings offer design-relevant insights for educators and researchers developing immersive digital learning experiences.

Detection of Christmas tree plantations from high-resolution aerial imagery. A case study in the French Morvan

Francesca Razzano, Emanuele Dalsasso, Adrien Baysse-Lainé, Silvia Liberata Ullo, Gilda Schirinzi, Jocelyn Chanussot

Christmas tree plantations are economically relevant, yet a largely unexplored application domain in Remote Sensing (RS). Their delineation is challenging because of high planting density, short rotation cycles, visual confusion with surrounding vegetation, the availability of dense labels for one reference year only, and severe class imbalance at the landscape scale. Although Deep Learning (DL) methods have shown strong potential for vegetation mapping, existing approaches are typically designed for forests, generic plantation systems, or orchards, and do not explicitly address the structural specificity and hard-negative confusion that characterize Christmas tree plantations. In response to these challenges, this work makes three main contributions: (i) it frames Christmas tree plantation mapping as a distinct rare-target semantic segmentation problem; (ii) it introduces a Hard Negative Mining (HNM) strategy to improve discrimination against confusing background patterns; and (iii) it evaluates the proposed framework across complementary levels, including supervised testing, temporal transfer, and large-scale validation. On the 2020 test set held out, the best model, DeepLabV3 with a ResNet-34 encoder, achieves an IoU of 0.733 and an F1-score of 0.846. HNM substantially improves precision-recall behavior, increasing the area under the precision-recall curve from 0.204 to 0.913. Temporal inference further shows meaningful transferability, reaching IoU/F1 values of 0.751/0.858 on 2017/2018 and 0.691/0.817 on 2023. Large-scale validation further highlights the intrinsic difficulty of the task, as Christmas tree plantations occupied only a very small fraction of the extent of the common evaluation, corresponding to 1,498.4 ha (1.72\%) in 2017/2018 and 1,782.2 ha (2.04\%) in 2023 out of 87,309.4 ha in total.

TADP: Task-Aware Deformable Prediction for Single-Stage 3D Object Detection

Su Wang, Yaochen Li, Min Yang, Jiaohao Nie, Chang Liu, Yuehu Liu

Most single-stage 3D object detectors complete different tasks with the same extracted features. Nevertheless, it is impossible to project features into a common space that is adaptive for all the tasks. We present a novel task-aware deformable prediction (TADP) method for single-stage 3D object detection to solve this problem. Firstly, a triple feature refinement aggregation module is designed to extract three-level features adaptively. Additionally, we design the multi-scale feature aggregation block to fuse multi-scale features in a scale-aware manner. Finally, the prediction of each task is deformed with the designed plug-and-play task-aware deformation head. It can percept the emphasis and interaction of each task. We also designed three different deformation modules. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed deformation head shows good results on other detection methods. The experimental results on the KITTI dataset demonstrate that the car mAP is 80.91%, surpassing many state-of-the-art methods on the KITTI benchmark.

Sidecar: Training-Free Semantic Reuse for Character-Consistent Free-form Visual Storytelling

Sibo Dong, Sarah Adel Bargal

Visual storytelling requires generating images that follow a narrative while preserving consistent character identities across frames. In free-form story generation, a character is fully described only when first introduced and is later referred to by a type-level mention or pronoun. Although this setting better reflects natural storytelling, later prompts may omit important identity-related semantics, making character consistency more difficult to maintain. We propose \textbf{Sidecar}, a plug-and-play semantic augmentation module that preserves entity-level information from the initial description and injects the missing semantics into later prompt embeddings. Sidecar requires no additional training and does not modify the architecture of the base diffusion model. Experiments on FreeStoryBench show that Sidecar consistently improves prompt-image alignment and character consistency across multiple SDXL- and FLUX-based baselines, with negligible computational overhead.

Decoupled I/O-Dominant Pipelines for Large-Scale Whole-Slide Image Embedding Extraction

Mayanka Chandrashekar, Xi Zhang, Ethan Seefried, Tirthankar Ghosal, John Gounley, Heidi Hanson

Whole-slide images (WSIs) are central to computational pathology but are prohibitively large, making patch-based processing the practical unit for foundation model inference. At scale, however, generating and handling massive numbers of patches on quickly introduces significant I/O and orchestration overhead, often dominating end-to-end performance. We present a decoupled, I/O-aware pipeline for large-scale WSI embedding extraction that decomposes the workflow into three stages: (1) patch generation and staging, (2) embarrassingly parallel embedding inference, and (3) sharded vector database ingestion. This design isolates data movement from compute, enabling efficient patch delivery, scalable multi-node inference with minimal communication. The resulting system produces a distributed vector database where embeddings are persistently coupled with rich metadata (e.g., patient, slide, and patch attributes), enabling efficient filtering, retrieval, and downstream reuse. This representation database is compact and reusable for tasks such as retrieval, classification, and few-shot learning, particularly benefiting low-resource environments. We show that decoupling I/O, computation, and ingestion enables high-throughput WSI embedding extraction at scale. By characterizing the scaling envelope, we demonstrate that storage dominates beyond moderate concurrency, reframing WSI embedding extraction as a data-centric systems problem rather than a purely compute-bound workload.

UniFLM: United Segmentation and Measurement on Fetal Limb Ultrasonic Image

Zeen Zhou, Qiuhua Chen, Xiaojun Cao, Changmao Chen, Chao Sun, Bo Du

Prenatal ultrasound examination is crucial for assessing fetal limb development and detecting congenital anomalies. However, existing artificial intelligence models often overlook fetal lethal skeletal dysplasias due to the lack of high-quality annotated data and a unified framework for multiple long bones. Moreover, generic segmentation models struggle with the inherent noise and semantic gaps in ultrasound images. To address these challenges, we construct the Fetal Limb Bones (FLB) dataset, comprising high-quality annotations for the humerus, femur, tibia-fibula, and radius-ulna. Furthermore, we propose UniFLM, a unified framework for automatic cross-plane segmentation and measurement. UniFLM incorporates a Semantic-Aware Skip Connection module to bridge the semantic gap between encoder and decoder features, and a Positive Sampling strategy to adaptively filter noise and extract essential semantic information. Finally, a Point Regression Mapping module is introduced to learn clinician annotation patterns for precise bone length measurement. Extensive experiments conducted on the FLB dataset demonstrate that the proposed UniFLM achieves superior accuracy and enhanced generalization capabilities in fetal long bone assessment compared to current state-of-the-art models.

DINOcular: Self-Supervised Visuospatial Representations

Farkhat Almukhamedov, Sami Azirar, Hermann Blum

We introduce a self-supervised framework for learning joint visuospatial representations from RGB-D observations. While modern vision foundation models are trained almost exclusively on RGB images, many embodied systems have access to explicit depth sensing, which provides geometric information that monocular inputs cannot recover. Our method integrates depth-derived geometric priors with a visual backbone through inter-patch and intra-patch fusion, enabling the model to encode both appearance and spatial structure efficiently. The resulting representation shows promising improvements on 3D awareness while preserving semantic transfer: it outperforms prior methods of comparable scale on multiple 3D geometry benchmarks, and remains competitive when probed for standard RGB-D semantic segmentation tasks.

CODE: Cross-Modal Calibration and Dynamic Suppression for Open World Object Detection

Hao Xu, Zhaoning Shi, Hehe Jin, Bo Ma

Open World Object Detection (OWOD) built on multimodal foundation models often suffers from semantic ambiguity caused by unidirectional text-to-vision matching, while rigid outlier penalties may over-suppress unknown objects near known-class decision boundaries. We propose CODE (Cross-Modal Calibration and Dynamic Suppression), a unified inference-time framework with three complementary components. Cross-Modal Joint Confidence Calibration injects global visual prototypes to calibrate text-driven known-class predictions. Uncertainty-Guided Universal Objectness Enhancement measures classification hesitation from local visual responses to strengthen potential unknown objects. Dynamic Outlier Suppression via Confidence Margin replaces rigid suppression with a margin-aware adjustment that preserves ambiguous out-of-distribution instances. Experiments on the Real-World Detection benchmark demonstrate that, with the OWL-ViT L/14 backbone, CODE achieves 21.7 U-mAP and 40.8 K-mAP in Task 1, surpassing the previous state of the art by 2.6 and 2.3 points, respectively.

PACE: A Unified Condense-and-Extract Paradigm for Fast VLM Inference

Junjie LIU, Shengyuan Ye, Xu Chen

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate exceptional visual reasoning capabilities, yet their inference costs escalate rapidly with the proliferation of visual tokens. Existing visual token pruning methods exhibit two fundamental limitations. First, most approaches operate exclusively post-vision encoder, leaving the substantial latency of the visual encoding phase unoptimized. Second, under strict token budgets, these methods often fail to jointly preserve holistic visual contexts and fine-grained details, leading to performance degradation. To address these bottlenecks, we propose PACE (Pixel-Adaptive Condense and Extract), a training-free inference framework that accelerates both the vision encoder and the Large Language Model (LLM) via a unified Condense-and-Extract paradigm. During the Condense stage, an Adaptive Pixel Compressor (APC) evaluates visual information density prior to encoding, adaptively downsampling redundant inputs, curtailing encoder computation while preserving global context and essential visual cues. In the Extract stage, a Dynamic Dual-Attention Extractor (DDAE) selectively retains visual tokens via a fusion of internal visual signals from the encoder and semantic signals from the LLM, safeguarding task-critical details. By integrating PACE into Qwen2.5-VL-7B, the model retains 93.8% of its original performance while utilizing only 10% of the visual tokens, yielding a 3.1x speedup in time to first token (TTFT). Our code is available at https://github.com/jjL357/PACE.

Vision-centric generative AI models: A software-hardware perspective

Eleni Tselepi, Cristian Sestito, Shady Agwa, Themis Prodromakis

Vision generative artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most rapidly advancing areas of deep learning. The explosion of multimodal models has made them widely associated with text-to-image applications running on large datacentres. However, vision generative models are equally needed in applications that operate under strict hardware constraints at the edge, including autonomous vehicles, agricultural sensors, and mobile devices. In this Perspective, we argue that progress in vision generative AI has been driven by output quality, with hardware evolving reactively to accommodate growing model demands. We quantify the parameter cost and energy efficiency of these models across a range of accelerator platforms, and map four generative model families against seven real-world application domains. Finally, we advocate a software-hardware co-design approach, where deployment constraints are considered from the start of the design process, ensuring that the "right model" runs on the "right hardware" to serve the "right application", making generative AI deployment sustainable and accessible across a much broader range of platforms.

Knowledge Distillation Driven Semantic NOMA with GAN Refinement for 6G Robotic Vehicle Networks

QIFEI WANG, Zhen Gao, Li Qiao, Ziwei Wan, De Mi, Dapeng Li, Ying Sun

To achieve sustainable intelligent mobility, 6G-empowered robotic vehicles (RVs) require high-fidelity visual perception under stringent bandwidth and energy constraints. Semantic communication offers a spectral-efficient solution but suffers from severe interference in uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) RV networks. To address this, we propose a knowledge distillation-driven and generative models-enhanced NOMA framework for robust and green RV communications, named KDG-SemNOMA. First, we develop a ConvNeXt-based deep joint source-channel coding (DeepJSCC) architecture with an enhanced attention feature (AF) module for dynamic channel adaptation. Second, to mitigate interference without inference overhead, an orthogonal transmission teacher model guides the NOMA student model via a two-stage knowledge distillation strategy. Finally, to address the over-smoothing artifacts of pixel-wise optimization, we introduce a channel-conditional GAN (cGAN). By explicitly taking the Stage-I initial reconstruction and channel states as conditional inputs, this module refines coarse outputs into high-fidelity images with realistic textures. Experiments on FFHQ-256 demonstrate that KDG-SemNOMA significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both pixel-level accuracy and perceptual fidelity.

Unsupervised Adaptation of 3D CT Foundation Models for 3D CBCT Segmentation

Gauthier Miralles, Loic Le Folgoc, Vincent Jugnon, Pietro Gori

Accurate 3D segmentation of cone-beam CT (CBCT) is critical for interventional and radiation therapy applications, yet it remains limited by two compounding challenges: the scarcity of annotated CBCT data and the large domain shift from diagnostic CT. Interventional CBCT exhibits fundamental modality differences from conventional CT, driven by acquisition and physics effects as well as contrast-specific vascular content, thereby limiting effective cross-modality model transfer. We propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) framework based on redundancy-reducing feature alignment, enabling 3D CBCT segmentation with no target-domain annotations or inference-time adaptation. Our framework is architecture-agnostic, seamlessly adapting both CNN-based and ViT-based foundation models. We evaluate our method on two challenging CT-CBCT liver segmentation benchmarks: one for interventional vascular procedures and one for radiation therapy, demonstrating that even large-scale pretrained segmentation networks require explicit feature-space bridging to generalize across acquisition modalities, and that our approach consistently outperforms existing pretrained foundation model and UDA strategies. To support reproducibility and benchmarking, we release the liver segmentations for a public CBCT dataset, along with the code, trained models, and weights.

SSMB: Self-Supervised Local Feature Detection under Motion Blur

Zhenjun Zhao, Fabio Bellavia, Wenting Wang, Fan Zhu, Jiajun Wu, Suryansh Kumar, Mingqiang Wei, Haoang Li, Javier Civera

Keypoint detection under motion blur remains a significant challenge, as blur distorts local image structure and degrades the repeatability of feature localization. Existing approaches either rely on computationally expensive deblur-then-detect pipelines that may introduce restoration artifacts, or learn to regress the image positions of handcrafted keypoints extracted on sharp images, which reflects the assumptions of the handcrafted detector rather than what is truly repeatable under blur. We present SSMB, a deblur-free, self-supervised keypoint detector for motion-blurred images that requires neither handcrafted detectors nor external pseudo-labels. SSMB introduces the Local Discriminability Enhancement (LDE) module, which restores fine-grained local discriminability after global feature mixing. Training is performed in two stages. First, geometric pretraining on synthetic shapes bootstraps spatially discriminative keypoint detection without any external detector, just from the rendered geometry. Second, blur-aware training on real sharp-blur image pairs learns blur-invariant detection through a multi-component self-supervised objective that enforces cross-domain consistency, geometric alignment, and spatial coverage. Extensive evaluations on keypoint detection, image matching, relative pose estimation, and visual localization under motion blur demonstrate that SSMB establishes a new state-of-the-art among sparse keypoint detectors, consistently outperforming both supervised and self-supervised baselines across all tasks. Code, models, and datasets will be publicly available upon paper acceptance.

Parameter-Efficient pretrained-CT-to-MRI Transfer for Rectal Cancer Segmentation: Performance-Calibration Trade-offs

Aneesh Rangnekar, Jorge Tapias Gomez, Joseph O Deasy, Harini Veeraraghavan

Accurate rectal cancer segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for adaptive radiotherapy and tumor response assessment, but deployment also requires computational efficiency and informative, calibrated uncertainty estimates. We therefore introduce SWIFT, a SWin pretrained model wIth parameter-eFficient and Tumor-aware fine-tuning for rectal cancer segmentation. A Swin V2 encoder pretrained on 10,444 public 3D CT volumes using a DINOv2-style objective was adapted to T2-weighted MRI through four cumulative configurations: full fine-tuning (SWIFT), decoder compression (SWIFTe), low-rank adaptation (SWIFTe-LoRA), and a four-member LoRA-decoder ensemble (SWIFTe-LDE4). Geometric accuracy, tumor detection, radiomic agreement, and probability calibration were evaluated on a held-out 247-case test set from a single-institution cohort acquired using 1.5 or 3 Tesla GE scanners. Compared with SWIFT, SWIFTe reduced total parameters by 70.1% (from 72.8M to 21.8M) and increased tumor detection rate from 89.9% to 93.9%, while achieving a slightly lower median surface DSC (0.61 versus 0.62) and improved radiomic agreement. In a separate SWIFTe ablation, removing tumor-aware augmentation reduced detection from 93.9% to 89.9% but increased surface DSC from 0.61 to 0.64, demonstrating a detection-boundary-agreement trade-off. SWIFTe-LoRA used 14.6% of SWIFTe's trainable parameters while retaining similar segmentation performance. SWIFTe-LDE4 achieved the lowest calibration errors among the four configurations after temperature scaling (expected calibration error, 0.217; Brier score, 0.222), although the absolute expected calibration error indicates residual miscalibration. Similar efficiency-calibration patterns were observed using the public VoCo checkpoint, supporting robustness across pretrained initializations rather than external clinical generalizability.

Temporal Sensitivity Analysis of Tessera Embeddings

Julia Guerrero-Viu, Alex López-Cifuentes, Ignacio Pérez-Villar, Fabio Pacifici

Many Earth Observation applications need land-use/land-cover maps that are both precise and frequently updated, yet the strongest Earth Observation foundation models build their embeddings from a full year of observations. We present a controlled study of the temporal sensitivity of Tessera, one of these leading foundation models, for land-use/land-cover mapping. Keeping the encoder frozen, we recompute its embeddings over varying observation windows, from a full year down to a single day. We use them as inputs to a linear probe and a UNet segmentation head, benchmarking both of them against from-scratch networks on LUCAS, DynamicEarthNet, and PASTIS-R datasets. We show that the value of the embeddings is task-dependent. Where classes are separated by phenology, as for the crop types of PASTIS-R, they reach a mean Intersection-over-Union of $58.3$, about $46\%$ above the best from-scratch model. Where classes are temporally stable (e.g., forests in DynamicEarthNet and LUCAS), embedding-based and from-scratch models match only under full supervision. On both datasets, Tessera embeddings remain markedly more label-efficient. Degradation under shorter temporal windows is gradual and class-dependent. Contracting the window from one year to one month costs $39\%$ of the segmentation accuracy on PASTIS-R but only $5\%$ on DynamicEarthNet. Single-day embeddings still classify land cover in LUCAS at $3.4$ times the chance level. Our study shows that temporal coverage is therefore a tunable cost rather than a fixed prerequisite, opening regimes such as near-real-time mapping and faster land-use/land-cover refresh cycles.
