Deep Multimodal Fusion Detection through Spatial Mask and Channel Competition

The paper introduces an Attention-Driven Complementarity Resampling framework to enhance cross-modality object detection. It employs a shared channel spatial attention mechanism that exchanges semantic masks between modalities, encouraging the backbone to learn generalized features. Additionally, a learnable channel competition module samples and aggregates features channel‑wise, improving robustness and achieving competitive results on multiple datasets.

Prototype Matters: Modality-unified Prototype Self-distillation for Unsupervised Visible-infrared Person Re-identification

The paper introduces a new framework for unsupervised visible‑infrared person re‑identification that leverages modality‑unified prototypes. By contrasting with prototypes that unify both modalities, the method jointly optimizes similarity within and across modalities, improving modality invariance. A self‑distillation step refines instance‑prototype relationships using a steady teacher, resulting in a simple yet effective model validated on standard VI‑ReID benchmarks.
