LangLoc: "Tell Me What You See"

Shaurya Kishore Panwar, Roham Zendehdel Nobari, Shirley Feng Yi Lau, Abu Bakr Rahman Shaik, Manuel Günther, Marc Pollefeys, Daniel Barath

We tackle fine-grained indoor localization from natural language: given a free-form description of one's surroundings, estimate the observer's 2D position and heading within a known 3D environment. Language queries are lightweight, privacy-preserving, and need no camera - yet prior work stops at coarse scene retrieval and cannot resolve an intra-scene pose. We close this gap with LangLoc, a three-stage pipeline that (i) retrieves the correct scene via a dual-branch GATv2 encoder with CLIP semantic features, surpassing the previous best by 8 percentage points in Top-1 recall; (ii) estimates position and heading by scoring a dense floor grid through ray-cast object visibility, reaching a median error of 0.95 m; and (iii) resolves residual ambiguity through a Bayesian dialog module that asks targeted yes/no questions and updates a pose posterior until the location is pinpointed. To support this task we contribute a benchmark of $13{,}000{+}$ pose-indexed natural-language descriptions over $1{,}300{+}$ indoor 3D scans.

Adaptive Identity Anchoring: Closed-Loop Keyframe Placement for Synthetic Paired Supervision in Video Face Swapping

Logan Robbins

Video face swapping has no natural paired supervision: no real footage exists of one person's face performing another person's video. The strongest current answer, DreamID-V's SyncID-Pipe, mints pairs by replacing the identity in exactly two frames of a real clip -- the first and…

Robust Activation Map Rectification for Weakly Supervised Volumetric Segmentation: Temporal Coherence as a Free Lunch

Renshu Gu, Jialiang Chen, Fei Gao, Hang Su, Jun Qi, Jiamin Xu, et al.

Weakly supervised segmentation relies heavily on class activation maps (CAMs) to initially localize target regions. However, CAMs are often noisy and prone to catastrophic failures. Existing remedies typically introduce additional training stages or prototype learning, increasing…

Dual-Edged Homogeneous-Modality Similarity: Towards Visible-Infrared Modality-Incomplete Person Re-Identification with Modality Adaptive Matching

Xin Xu, Shuhao Zhan, Wei Liu, Zheng Wang, Kui Jiang, Chia-Wen Lin

Visible-Infrared Person Re-Identification (VI-ReID) operates under a closed-world assumption, where queries and galleries are from heterogeneous modalities. However, in open-world scenarios, both sets are likely to contain homogeneous and heterogeneous modality images. A query ma…
