The paper introduces a depth‑aware pothole detection framework that fuses RGB‑D sensor data and evaluates five architectures—YOLOv8n, YOLOv8nSeg, YOLOv9t, RTDETRL, and RTDETRX—on the PothRGBD dataset. YOLOv8nSeg achieves the highest detection performance (mAP@50 = 0.9556, mAP@50_95 = 0.6758) and the most accurate depth estimate (2.96 cm), while YOLOv8n offers the fastest inference (3.6 ms) and RTDETRX delivers the highest detection confidence (92.70 %). The study also shows that even after RANSAC orthorectification, bounding‑box models overestimate pothole depth by 0.16–0.21 cm, indicating a structural bias rather than a calibration error.

Loop‑Mamba is a lightweight, loop‑based state‑space framework designed for restoring old photographs that suffer from multiple degradations such as scratches, cracks, fading, blur, noise, and missing regions. It models restoration as progressive state evolution, using a Semantic‑Guided Degradation Estimator to predict local degradation maps and global scores, and a Shared Structural Memory Mamba to maintain a persistent restoration state across iterations. The method employs first‑order state recursion and a multi‑directional scanning strategy to reduce gradient dilution and computational overhead, and introduces the Old Photo Damage Recovery Score (ODRS) to evaluate both degradation recovery and structural reconstruction, achieving superior performance on the SynOld benchmark.
The paper presents 3DGAA, a fabrication-first framework that generates view-consistent, geometry-preserving adversarial wraps for vehicles using 3D Gaussian splatting optimization. It ensures consistency across viewpoints, illumination, and occlusion while limiting changes to vehicle geometry, producing realistic print-only textures that significantly reduce detection confidence and average precision in simulations and physical tests. Ablation and efficiency studies analyze the impact of physical filtering, augmentation, and shape-consistency regularization, and the method demonstrates robustness against common preprocessing defenses and cross-detector transferability.

arXiv:2607. 02131v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Restoring archival film remains a fundamentally challenging problem due to the absence of paired training data and the lack of standardized evaluation benchmarks.
The study investigates which layers of feed‑forward geometry models—specifically VGGT, π³, and VGGT‑Ω—are essential for preserving camera poses and dense 3D structure. By pruning 3,018 configurations and evaluating seven metrics across indoor and outdoor datasets, the authors identify two redundancy regions (early and late) and show that combined deletions degrade performance additively, enabling more efficient pruning. They also demonstrate that CKA can serve as a cheaper proxy for interval degradation, and that closed‑form linear calibration can recover accuracy without retraining, reducing aggregator parameters by up to 44% while maintaining comparable performance.
