QCell: Recombining and Aligning Cell Queries for Overlapping Instance Segmentation

QCell is a query‑based model designed to improve overlapping cell instance segmentation in microscopy images. It introduces an instance recombination module that decomposes and recombines query representations in latent space, allowing the model to reason about entire cell structures even when they overlap. Additionally, a contrastive query alignment objective is used to learn distinctive instance features and separate overlapping cell queries. The authors also present a new Organoid dataset benchmark and demonstrate that QCell surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving +2.2 AP and +2.7 AJI on the ISBI2014 benchmark.

Subtraction-Based Tumor Segmentation and Lesion-Centered pCR Prediction for the MAMA-MIA Challenge

Team FME submitted a method for the MAMA-MIA Challenge that tackles primary tumor segmentation and pathological complete response (pCR) prediction using dynamic contrast‑enhanced breast MRI. For segmentation, they employed a five‑fold residual‑encoder nnU‑Net ensemble trained on the first post‑contrast minus pre‑contrast image, augmented with mirroring test‑time augmentation and largest‑connected‑component filtering, achieving a Dice score of 0.713 and a normalized Hausdorff distance of 0.099. For pCR prediction, they ensembled 25 pretrained 3D video classifiers on lesion‑centred crops from the pre‑contrast and first two post‑contrast volumes, reaching a balanced accuracy of 0.541 and an equalized‑odds disparity of 0.212, and ranked second in both tasks.

BlobBoards: Robust Markers for Accurate Pose

BlobBoards is a fiducial marker system that uses a dense, multi‑scale field of Gaussian blobs and a feature‑based pipeline for joint detection, identification, and pose estimation. The system registers each board from hundreds of blob features, leveraging dense spatial coverage and multiple scales to maintain detectability across large changes in focal length, distance, and obliquity. Compared to state‑of‑the‑art tags, BlobBoards achieves superior detection rates, lower median translation errors, and greater robustness to occlusion, with significant reductions in pose errors and large‑rotation failures.

MANTLE: A Framework for Adaptive In-Situ Planetary Perception Using a Modular Uplink Principle

MANTLE is a multi‑task adaptive network designed for planetary perception, featuring a shared DINOv2 backbone with separate heads for landform classification and boulder segmentation. Trained on HiRISE and MSL imagery, it achieved 92.56% accuracy on seven Martian terrain classes and a 0.753 IoU for boulder segmentation, with strong cross‑sol generalization. The framework follows the Modular Uplink Principle, allowing lightweight task‑specific heads to be trained on Earth and uplinked to the rover without retraining the core model.

Projection-Aware End-to-End Learned Video Compression for 360-Degree Video

The study examines how different two‑dimensional projections of spherical 360‑degree video affect end‑to‑end neural compression. Seven JVET‑360Lib formats were evaluated using a scale‑space flow model on standard test sequences, with performance measured by PSNR, spherical PSNR, weighted spherical PSNR, and BD‑rate. Results show that equirectangular and padded equirectangular projections yield the best compression efficiency with the neural model, while cubemap‑based formats excel with conventional HM‑16.16 codecs, highlighting that projection choice is codec‑dependent.

Understanding Temporal Semantic Stability in Open-Vocabulary UAV Perception through Metric 3D Fusion

The paper studies how open‑vocabulary segmentation models perform on UAV footage, focusing on temporal consistency of predictions. By linking frame‑wise outputs to persistent 3D voxels via metric fusion, the authors propose a voxel‑level evaluation that measures final agreement, Semantic Belief Drift, Observation Persistence, and uncertainty. Experiments on UAVid‑3D show that high overall agreement can mask instability when observations are sparse, and that persistence‑stratified analysis reveals greater disagreement for recurrent voxels while belief drift reduces with more evidence.
