FuseAdapt: Parameter-Efficient Multimodal Fusion for Semantic Segmentation with Missing Modalities

FuseAdapt is a parameter‑efficient framework for multimodal semantic segmentation that performs fusion within the adaptation space of a frozen vision foundation model (VFM). Instead of a separate fusion network, each modality receives a lightweight adaptation branch, and only low‑rank residual activations are routed across modalities inside the frozen backbone. The method also introduces Predictive Modality Modeling (PMM) to handle missing modalities during training, achieving significant mIoU gains on three benchmarks.

Win-Win Fusion: Multi-Modal Image Fusion with Visual-Semantic Collaboration

The paper introduces W2F, a visual‑semantic mutual‑reinforcing framework for multi‑modal image fusion (MMIF). It enhances feature complementarity with a segmentation‑guided fusion loss and an embedded information restoration prior, and employs interactive gated mixed attention (IGM‑Att) and progressive coupling attention (PC‑Att) to fuse local and global information. A collaborative mechanism with a feature search module and gradient correction further aligns visual and semantic fusion, leading to state‑of‑the‑art visual appeal and decision accuracy.

P2Fusion: Prompt-based Progressive Infrared-Visible Image Fusion via Dual-Prior Distillation

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.

Residual Optimal Transport-Based Experts Collaboration Towards Modality-Aware Infrared-Visible Object Detection

The paper introduces FlexibleFusion, a method for infrared-visible object detection that adapts to both complete and missing-modality scenarios. It employs a Modality-Aware Experts Collaboration mechanism to selectively fuse cross-modal or intra-modal pathways, and a Residual Self-Paced Entropic Optimal Transport module to align heterogeneous feature distributions without heavy optimization. Experiments demonstrate consistent performance across various modality configurations.

SARTM: Segment Any RGB Thermal Model with Language aided Distillation

The paper introduces SARTM, a framework that adapts the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for RGB‑thermal (RGB‑T) semantic segmentation. It fine‑tunes SAM with LoRA layers, incorporates language guidance, and employs a Cross‑Modal Knowledge Distillation module to bridge modality gaps. The approach also modifies the segmentation head and adds an auxiliary semantic head, achieving superior performance on MFNET, PST900, and FMB benchmarks.

OmniFusion: Simultaneous Multilingual Multimodal Translations via Modular Fusion

OmniFusion is an end‑to‑end multilingual multimodal translation system that fuses a pretrained multimodal foundation model (Omni 2.5‑7B) with a translation large language model (SeedX PPO‑7B). By connecting hidden states from multiple layers of the multimodal model to the translation LLM, OmniFusion can translate speech, speech‑and‑image, and text‑and‑image inputs while reducing simultaneous speech‑translation latency by about one second compared to cascaded pipelines. The approach improves overall translation quality by leveraging both audio and visual context.
