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.

Multimodal fusion learning (MFL) has shown great potential in the medical domain, where we are faced with disparate data modalities such as imaging, clinical records, and omics. However, existing MFL strategies face several major challenges.
The paper introduces IT-TextFusion, an iterative text-guided image fusion framework that uses text-conditioned feature interaction across multiple fusion and refinement stages. It incorporates deep cross-attention, multi-scale cross-gate fusion, and stage-specific text-conditioned modulation to enable degradation-aware global semantic conditioning while preserving complementary visible and infrared information. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate improvements in information-preservation and perceptual-quality metrics, with some metric-dependent trade-offs.

The paper introduces an Attention-Driven Complementarity Resampling framework to enhance cross-modality object detection. It employs a shared channel spatial attention mechanism that exchanges semantic masks between modalities, encouraging the backbone to learn generalized features. Additionally, a learnable channel competition module samples and aggregates features channel‑wise, improving robustness and achieving competitive results on multiple datasets.

RA‑SOD is a new RGB‑Thermal salient object detection framework that explicitly models the reliability of each modality. It introduces a reliability‑conditioned representation, an uncertainty‑guided dual‑stream refinement, and a pixel‑wise modality competition mechanism to adaptively compensate degraded features and suppress unreliable evidence. Experiments on four benchmarks show that RA‑SOD achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance and remains robust under severe modality degradation.

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.
