arXiv:2607. 10762v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modal distillation from Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) to LiDAR backbones has recently emerged as a self-supervised pretraining strategy that reduces reliance on dense point-wise annotation for 3D scene understanding.
Infrared-visible image fusion (IVIF) is pivotal for multimodal perception, yet reconciling the inherent information disparity between thermal and textural features remains a fundamental challenge. Existing prior-guided methods often rely on static constraints that induce optimization conflicts or utilize extrinsic semantic priors from large-scale foundation models (e.
The paper introduces a biologically inspired framework that learns object‑centric visual representations from raw videos without human annotations or camera calibration. By using motion boundaries detected via optical flow and clustering to create pseudo‑instance masks, the method supervises a single‑image encoder with pixel‑level pairwise metric learning. Training on 195 million pseudo‑labeled frames and expanding to 421 million frames through Motion‑Verified Self‑Training, the approach yields Swin‑based encoders that outperform or match supervised and self‑supervised baselines on tasks such as monocular depth estimation, 3D object detection, 3D occupancy prediction, and end‑to‑end planning.

arXiv:2606. 00508v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study introduces an intriguing phenomenon in Video LLMs: rather than merely translating frames into textual embeddings, Video LLMs establish a continuous manifold, token interface, allowing visual tokens to operate as standalone entities within the architecture.
DINOcular is a self‑supervised framework that learns joint visuospatial representations from RGB‑D observations. It fuses depth‑derived geometric priors with a visual backbone using inter‑patch and intra‑patch fusion, allowing the model to encode both appearance and spatial structure efficiently. The resulting representation improves 3D awareness on multiple geometry benchmarks while staying competitive on standard RGB‑D semantic segmentation tasks.
