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.
Multi-modality image fusion (MMIF) enhances scene representation by exploiting complementary cues from different modalities. Adverse weather, however, causes significant image degradation, disrupting feature representation and requiring simultaneous feature restoration and cross-modal complementarity.
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 AD‑SRF, an attack‑defense semantic reinforcement framework for multi‑modal image fusion that separates visual quality and semantic attribute optimization and then recombines them. It employs a transformer‑based visual fusion network with a cross‑modal retrieval module and a collaborative loss to produce high‑quality fused images, even under degraded conditions. An adversarial game between an attacker that degrades segmentation and a defender that restores and reintegrates semantics via an imperceptible map iteratively enhances semantic attributes without sacrificing visual fidelity.
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.
CoMLP introduces a cooperatively-gated MLP module that fuses multimodal medical data—such as imaging modalities and clinical reports—without relying on computationally heavy cross-attention. The module uses regional and dilated MLP interactions to capture both local and global cross-modal dependencies, enabling fine-grained fusion at high spatial resolutions. Experiments on five segmentation benchmarks, covering 2D/3D images and diverse anatomical regions, show consistent improvements over state-of-the-art multi-modal and language-guided methods, highlighting the effectiveness of MLP-based interaction for medical image segmentation.
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.

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 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.
