MMGait is a large‑scale multi‑sensor benchmark that aligns visible, infrared, depth, LiDAR, and radar observations at the sequence level, enabling evaluation of single‑modal, cross‑modal, and multi‑modal gait recognition. The study shows that modality rankings shift with probe conditions, cross‑modal alignment remains challenging, and fusion can yield complementary gains. To address the scalability issue of training separate experts, the authors propose Omni‑Modal Gait Recognition and its implementation, OmniGait++, which unifies all recognition settings within a shared identity space using modality‑specific front ends, a shared encoder, and an anchor‑guided fusion module.

Sparse voxel representation has emerged as a scalable foundation for image-to-3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) generation, yet current methods struggle to preserve high-frequency visual details of input images due to two structural bottlenecks. First, they adopt discriminative 2D features optimized for semantic abstraction to construct sparse voxel latents, which suppress reconstructive cues and induce a representation bottleneck.

Cross-modal place recognition (CMPR) aims to identify the same location across heterogeneous sensing modalities, such as vision and LiDAR. Existing methods commonly bridge the modality gap using complex alignment modules, multi-stage training, or full fine-tuning of pretrained backbones.
AlignMorph is a tuning‑free diffusion framework for image morphing that separates geometric alignment from generative denoising. It uses Global Semantic Transport—entropic optimal transport and reliability‑aware latent warping—to achieve diffusion‑compatible semantic alignment, and Coordinate‑Aligned Generation—symmetric bi‑phase attention handoff—to preserve spatial coordinates during denoising. The method eliminates ghosting and delivers superior structural coherence and temporal smoothness on morphing benchmarks without any per‑pair optimization.

The paper introduces MOCO, a diffusion-based framework that generates 3D avatar motions from concurrent multimodal inputs such as speech audio, text descriptions, and trajectory data. MOCO decouples motion generation by independently producing modality-specific motions at each denoising step and then assembling them according to spatial rules, iteratively refining the combined motion. This approach yields coherent, lifelike, and synchronized movements, outperforming existing baselines on a multimodal benchmark.

M3GD is a novel approach for robotic novel view synthesis that fuses camera images and LiDAR point clouds without requiring a separate cross‑modal translator. By projecting LiDAR data onto the image latent grid and injecting it via a lightweight residual adapter, M3GD enhances both RGB and depth generation on the GrandTour dataset compared to image‑only baselines. Experiments on a ground robot confirm that the method can be deployed in real‑world scenarios with a tunable quality‑cost trade‑off.
