Zero-Shot Quantization for Object Detectors using Off-the-Shelf Generative Models

arXiv:2606. 31456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With an increasing number of Object Detection (OD) models being deployed on edge devices, Zero-Shot Quantization for OD (ZSQ-OD) aims to quantize these models when access to the original training data is prohibited.

Simple Domain Generalization for Strong Pixel-Level Image Tampering Detection in Modern VLMs

arXiv:2607. 18230v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern vision-language models (VLMs) have significantly improved image generation and editing capabilities, making pixel-level image tampering detection increasingly important yet challenging under cross-model and out-of-distribution shifts.

ActiveSAM: Image-Conditional Class Pruning for Fast and Accurate Open-Vocabulary Segmentation

arXiv:2606. 16996v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3) provides a strong frozen backbone for concept-prompted segmentation, but applying it directly to open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) is inefficient: full-resolution decoding is typically run over the entire dataset vocabulary, whereas each image contains only a small active subset of classes.

Recti-Q: Feature-Space Rectification for Out-of-Distribution-Robust Quantized Perception in Edge Robotics

arXiv:2607. 18540v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotic perception pipelines increasingly rely on large vision backbones deployed on SWaP-constrained edge platforms, making post-training quantization (PTQ) attractive for real-time inference.
