Controllable infrared-visible image fusion aims to integrate complementary thermal and structural information with flexible region-aware modulation, producing fused images that adapt to diverse user requirements and downstream tasks. However, existing methods typically rely on predefined discrete control conditions, leading to a sparse space that fails to support fine-grained modulation demands.

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.

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.
DeCo introduces an efficient decouple-to-couple learning framework for multi-task visual grounding, addressing conflicts between localization and segmentation tasks. It first applies Task-aware Semantic Decoupling (TSD) to separate shared visual cues into task-specific features guided by salient words, then uses Hybrid Prior Coupling (HPC) to merge sentence-level semantic priors with mask-derived spatial priors for improved grounding. Experiments across multiple natural and remote sensing datasets show that DeCo achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance while requiring only lightweight trainable parameters on a frozen multimodal encoder.

Crane is a CLIP‑based framework for zero‑shot anomaly detection that enhances dense localization by adapting the vision encoder with a correlation‑based attention module and conditioning learnable prompts on global image context. It further fuses anomaly‑relevant patch features into the global representation for more sensitive image‑level detection, and a variant called Crane+ leverages DINOv2 spatial correlations for stronger pixel‑level performance. Across seven industrial benchmarks, Crane raises mean image‑level AP by 4.5% and Crane+ boosts mean pixel‑level AUPRO by 9.0%.

The paper introduces Feature Interaction Network (FINE), a lightweight semantic alignment module for feature fusion networks in object detectors. FINE refines low‑level features using high‑level contextual guidance through cross‑level attention, and employs Alignment‑Aware Token Sampling to reduce attention complexity. The resulting spatial‑channel modulation map selectively enhances semantically relevant pixels while preserving sub‑pixel localization, leading to improved detection accuracy with minimal computational overhead.
