PDA++: Field-Aligned Planning and Scene-Adaptive Insertion in Remote Sensing

PDA++ is a unified, environment‑aware object insertion framework for remote sensing imagery that improves few‑shot and long‑tail recognition. It operates in three stages: Planning, which selects scene‑compatible poses using an affordance field; Decoupling, which conditions the background on pose to preserve object identity while adapting to the scene; and Assimilation, which aligns multi‑scale texture distributions via optimal transport to enhance local coherence. The method achieves a whole‑image FID of 6.28 and boosts average few‑shot recognition mAP50 by 17.69 points on optical data, while also improving ship detection on SAR imagery and maintaining performance under cross‑dataset transfer and amorphous‑target insertion.

RYOPO: Bringing End-to-End Category-Level Object Pose Estimation into Real Time

RYOPO is an end‑to‑end query‑based RGB‑D set predictor that jointly detects, segments, and estimates 9‑DoF poses of unseen instances within known categories without relying on external instance segmentation or CAD priors. It uses shared image and scene encoding, a query‑conditioned geometry pathway, and object‑centric refinement with pose‑conditioned cross‑attention to achieve accurate pose estimation. On benchmark datasets such as NOCS, REAL275, and HouseCat6D, RYOPO outperforms published methods and runs in real time at 31.8 FPS on an RTX A6000.

OptiSAR-Net++: A Large-Scale Benchmark and Transformer-Free Framework for Cross-Domain Remote Sensing Visual Grounding

OptiSAR-Net++ introduces a new cross‑domain remote sensing visual grounding task (CD‑RSVG) and the first large‑scale benchmark dataset, OptSAR‑RSVG. The framework replaces Transformer decoding with a CLIP‑based contrastive approach, employing a patch‑level Low‑Rank Adaptation Mixture of Experts for efficient cross‑domain feature decoupling and a text‑guided dual‑gate fusion module for improved semantic‑visual alignment. Experiments show state‑of‑the‑art performance on OptSAR‑RSVG and DIOR‑RSVG, with notable gains in localization accuracy and computational efficiency.

Pose-Free Feed-Forward 3D Inpainting via Learnable Mask Attention and Support Token Refinement

FreeInpaint is a feed‑forward 3D inpainting framework that reconstructs complete, geometrically consistent scenes directly from unposed multi‑view images with masked regions. It extends a 3D foundation model by propagating masked areas across views, using a Learnable Mask Attention mechanism to maintain reliable cross‑view correspondences and a Support Token Refinement strategy that injects diffusion‑generated auxiliary tokens for high‑fidelity completion. Experiments on diverse datasets show that FreeInpaint delivers superior inpainting quality without requiring pre‑computed camera poses, while maintaining fast inference speed.

AerialDojo-200K: A Large-Scale Benchmark Suite for Open-World Aerial Object-Goal Search

AerialDojo-200K is a large-scale benchmark suite for open-world aerial object-goal search, featuring 42 simulation scenes across four families and 21 types, including urban, natural, infrastructure, and disaster environments. The dataset contains 205,732 task instances—over 100K semantic-goal and over 100K image-goal tasks—each with a collision-free reference trajectory and multi-view video recordings. A unified evaluation framework splits scenes into 21 in-distribution and 21 out-of-distribution sets, and preliminary tests on multimodal large language models show significant room for improvement in general-purpose aerial agents.

Intra- and Cross-Scale Feature Interaction Network for Referring Remote Sensing Image Segmentation

The paper introduces NWPU-Refer, the largest bilingual dataset for referring remote sensing image segmentation, featuring 15,003 high‑resolution images from over 30 countries and 49,745 annotated targets. It also proposes the Multi‑scale Referring Segmentation Network (MRSNet), which uses an Intra‑scale Feature Interaction Module to refine fine‑grained features and a Hierarchical Feature Interaction Module to fuse cross‑scale information while preserving spatial structure. Experiments on NWPU‑Refer and RRSIS‑D show that MRSNet achieves strong, competitive performance, especially under strict IoU thresholds, demonstrating the effectiveness of both the new dataset and the model.

Domain shift-robust object detection with GenAI image editing

The paper investigates using diffusion-based generative image editing to improve object detector robustness against domain shifts, specifically camouflaged military vehicle detection. By synthetically adding foliage, netting, and multi‑spectral camouflage to training data with models such as Qwen Image Edit 2509 and Flux.2 Dev, the authors demonstrate significant mAP gains (up to +20.1 for foliage) over detectors trained on uncamouflaged data. LoRA fine‑tuning further boosts performance for the more challenging multi‑spectral camouflage.
