WAVE: Reversing the Guidance Hierarchy for Coarse-to-Fine Guided Depth Super-Resolution

WAVE introduces a multi-level discrete wavelet transform (ML‑DWT) to reverse the typical fine‑to‑coarse bias in guided depth super‑resolution. By consuming wavelet sub‑bands and semantic tokens in reverse order, it separates structure and detail reconstruction, applies semantic gating to high‑frequency bands, and fuses modalities via an invertible coupling mechanism. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that WAVE matches or outperforms existing methods, especially at high upsampling factors where low‑resolution depth has minimal structure.

NAIMA: Semantics Aware RGB Guided Depth Super-Resolution

The paper introduces NAIMA, a guided depth super‑resolution framework that leverages global contextual semantic priors from pretrained vision transformer token embeddings. Its Guided Token Attention (GTA) module uses depth encodings as queries to attend over semantic tokens, with a zero‑initialized gate controlling the influence of semantic evidence. NAIMA achieves competitive in‑distribution performance while delivering superior cross‑dataset generalization without relying on decoded priors or auxiliary objectives.

IDM-Net: A Lightweight Illumination-Decoupled Modulation Network for Low-Light Image Enhancement

IDM-Net is a lightweight Illumination-Decoupled Modulation Network designed for low-light image enhancement. It uses a dual-encoder architecture: a structure encoder extracts multi-scale appearance features from the RGB image, while a lightweight illumination encoder learns illumination priors from the decoupled luminance channel. An Illumination-Guided Modulation module injects these priors into the decoder via spatially adaptive affine modulation, and a Feature Refinement Block progressively suppresses artifacts and recovers fine details, achieving competitive performance on standard benchmarks with good balance between quality and efficiency.

The Shape of Events: Edge-Based Inductive Biases via Cross-Domain Distillation

The paper investigates how knowledge distillation from event cameras to RGB images can alter the inductive biases of convolutional neural networks. By transferring learning from the event domain, the authors find that models gain color invariance, a shape bias, and improved robustness to high‑frequency noise, largely due to reduced reliance on texture and increased emphasis on edge‑based object shape. These changes are evidenced by early‑layer processing differences and a spectral trade‑off between robustness to missing high‑frequency content and vulnerability to its contamination or geometric disruption.
