Toward a Foundation Plug-and-Play Prior for Computed Tomography Reconstruction via a Multimodal Diffusion Model

The paper proposes a single diffusion model trained across multiple imaging domains to act as a reusable prior for computed tomography (CT) reconstruction. By keeping the model frozen, it is applied to three distinct datasets—flaw analysis in additively manufactured metal parts using cone‑beam X‑ray CT, and concrete microstructure imaging with parallel‑beam neutron CT—each differing in modality, geometry, material, and degradation. In all cases, the method outperforms analytic reconstructions, demonstrating its potential as a foundation plug‑and‑play prior for heterogeneous CT problems.

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.
