TDFNet: Tri-projection Deformable Fusion Network for Panoramic Salient Object Detection

TDFNet introduces a Tri-projection Deformable Fusion Network that uses equirectangular, cube map, and tangent projections to mitigate geometric distortions in panoramic salient object detection. It incorporates a cross-projection deformable attention module for geometry-aware sampling and a latitude-guided fusion module that balances ERP and CMP features using spherical latitude priors. The network’s three-branch encoding preserves global continuity, local detail, and boundary precision, improving detection performance over existing projection-based methods.

O3N: Omnidirectional Open-Vocabulary Occupancy Prediction for Embodied Intelligent Robotics

O3N is a novel framework that performs open‑vocabulary occupancy prediction from a single omnidirectional RGB image. It introduces a polar‑spiral voxel embedding (PsM) for continuous 360° spatial representation, an Occupancy Cost Aggregation (OCA) module that unifies geometric and semantic supervision, and a Natural Modality Alignment (NMA) pathway that aligns visual, voxel, and text features. Experiments show state‑of‑the‑art results on QuadOcc and Human360Occ benchmarks, with strong cross‑scene generalization and semantic scalability.

Exploring Efficient Open-Vocabulary Segmentation in the Remote Sensing

The paper introduces OVRSISBench, a unified benchmark for open‑vocabulary remote sensing image segmentation, and evaluates existing OVS/OVRSIS models, uncovering their shortcomings in remote sensing contexts. Leveraging insights from this evaluation, the authors propose RSKT‑Seg, a new framework featuring a Multi‑Directional Cost Map Aggregation module, an Efficient Cost Map Fusion transformer, and a Remote Sensing Knowledge Transfer module. Experiments on the benchmark demonstrate that RSKT‑Seg outperforms strong baselines by +3.8 mIoU and +5.9 mACC while achieving twice the inference speed.
