arXiv:2603. 13994v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision foundation models trained with self-supervised objectives achieve strong performance across diverse tasks and exhibit emergent object segmentation properties.
arXiv:2602. 24181v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pre-trained vision encoders like DINOv2 have demonstrated exceptional performance on unimodal tasks.
DINOcular is a self‑supervised framework that learns joint visuospatial representations from RGB‑D observations. It fuses depth‑derived geometric priors with a visual backbone using inter‑patch and intra‑patch fusion, allowing the model to encode both appearance and spatial structure efficiently. The resulting representation improves 3D awareness on multiple geometry benchmarks while staying competitive on standard RGB‑D semantic segmentation tasks.

Volume and quality of datasets are crucial for deep learning model training, yet they are often constrained by availability and data acquisition costs. Synthetic data augmentation can extend existing datasets with realistic images, and the quality of these images is generally assessed through fidelity metrics such as FID, KID, IS, LPIPS and SSIM that measure structural or distributional similarity.
