MOSAIC: Multi-Scale Object-Centric Slot Adaptation with Image-Guided Prototype Conditioning for Remote Sensing Image Super-Resolution

MOSAIC is an object‑centric framework that adapts pretrained diffusion Transformers for image restoration by learning compact structural conditions. It organizes degraded images into structural slots capturing object‑level and layout‑level evidence, integrates these across resolutions, and retrieves recurring priors from a shared prototype memory. Injecting these representations into selected layers of a frozen diffusion Transformer via lightweight residual modulation preserves the pretrained generative prior, yielding improved remote sensing image super‑resolution performance on UCMerced, AID, and RSSCN7 datasets.

Seeing through Denoising: Frequency-guided One-step Denoising for Infrared Small Target Detection

The paper introduces DiffIRSTD, a generative framework that treats infrared small target detection as a background reconstruction problem. By interpreting small targets as noise-like signals, a diffusion-based model recovers a clean, target-free background, and the residual highlights candidate targets. A one-step denoising strategy and a frequency-guided perception loss enable efficient, high-quality reconstruction while remaining plug‑and‑play for existing detectors, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on three IRSTD benchmarks.

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.

Learning-State-Aware Dynamic Generative Data Augmentation on Small-Scale Datasets

Learning-State-Aware Dynamic Generative Data Augmentation on Small-Scale Datasets proposes LSADA, a method that constructs a learning state for each sample based on its loss and loss‑decrease rate to determine a sample‑specific augmentation strength. LSADA also introduces a decoupled data augmentation and diffusion fusion strategy that applies strength‑controlled transformations to class‑relevant regions while generating diverse class‑irrelevant regions, progressively fusing them to enhance image diversity while preserving class semantics. Experiments on nine public datasets demonstrate that LSADA outperforms the current state‑of‑the‑art dynamic GDA method by an average of 4.5% on six natural image datasets and 2.5% on three medical image datasets.

Category Level 6D Object Pose Estimation from a Single RGB Image using Diffusion

The paper presents a generative framework that estimates category-level 6D pose and 3D size of objects from a single RGB image, using score-based diffusion models to produce a multi-hypothesis pose distribution. It replaces costly likelihood pruning with a Mean Shift approach to isolate the mode as the final pose estimate, achieving state-of-the-art results on the REAL275 benchmark. The method also decouples detection from pose estimation, enabling robust zero-shot generalisation on the Wild6D dataset and extending naturally to video sequences by propagating the pose distribution over time.

D3S2: Diffusion-Guided Dataset Distillation for Semantic Segmentation

The paper introduces D3S2, a diffusion‑guided dataset distillation framework tailored for semantic segmentation. It tackles long‑tailed class imbalance, pixel‑wise alignment, and high computational cost by first selecting class‑balanced masks and then synthesizing images with a pretrained diffusion model conditioned on those masks. Guided diffusion sampling further refines the data with segmentation‑consistency and class‑wise feature matching losses, achieving superior performance at a 1% compression rate on ADE20K and COCO‑Stuff.
