arXiv:2512. 05098v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recent years, Image Quality Assessment (IQA) for AI-generated images (AIGI) has advanced rapidly; however, existing methods primarily target portraits and artistic images, lacking a systematic evaluation of interior scenes.

Local feature matching is a fundamental component of photogrammetry, enabling accurate image correspondence critical for tasks such as 3D reconstruction, stereo mapping, and visual localization. While recent detector-free matching methods, like LoFTR, have advanced the field, the global features obtained by leveraging the global-range modeling capacity of the unconstrained attention mechanism compromise the model's attention to the salient structures in certain scenarios.
arXiv:2503. 09399v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large-scale image classification datasets exhibit strong compositional biases: objects tend to be centered, appear at characteristic scales, and co-occur with class-specific context.

arXiv:2506. 12697v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Small-object detection in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery requires preserving weak local evidence while using broader context to separate tiny foreground targets from cluttered backgrounds.

Multi-modality image fusion (MMIF) enhances scene representation by exploiting complementary cues from different modalities. Adverse weather, however, causes significant image degradation, disrupting feature representation and requiring simultaneous feature restoration and cross-modal complementarity.
Prior work on aesthetic composition typically produces a single aesthetically pleasing crop, overlooking the narrative value of composing multiple shots from one scene. In practice, multi-shot composition is critical for downstream creative workflows: commercial posters often require multiple crops with different emphases (e.
