Abstract

Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) is a promising approach for synthesizing novel views, given a set of images and the corresponding camera poses of a scene. However, images photographed from a low-light scene can hardly be used to train a NeRF model to produce high-quality results, due to their low pixel intensities, heavy noise, and color distortion. Combining existing low-light image enhancement methods with NeRF methods also does not work well due to the view inconsistency caused by the individual 2D enhancement process. In this paper, we propose a novel approach, called Low-Light NeRF (or LLNeRF), to enhance the scene representation and synthesize normal-light novel views directly from sRGB low-light images in an unsupervised manner. The core of our approach is a decomposition of radiance field learning, which allows us to enhance the illumination, reduce noise and correct the distorted colors jointly with the NeRF optimization process. Our method is able to produce novel view images with proper lighting and vivid colors and details, given a collection of camera-finished low dynamic range (8-bits/channel) images from a low-light scene. Experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms existing low-light enhancement methods and NeRF methods.

Band-Attention Modulation Network for Robust Face Forgery Detection

Face forgery detection faces critical challenges in generalizing to unseen manipulation techniques and remaining robust under image compression, which often obscures subtle artifacts. Existing methods typically rely on fixed filters or coarse band separation, lacking the adaptability to learn task-specific spectral cues. To address this, we propose the Band-Attention Modulation Network (BAM-Net), a novel framework that pioneers learnable, fine-grained modulation of frequency components for forgery detection. At its core is the Band-Attention Modulation (BAM) mechanism, which transforms an image into its Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) spectrogram and learns to dynamically reweight frequency bands along anti-diagonals. This process effectively enhances forgery-related spectral signatures while suppressing less informative ones, simulating an adaptive "inverse compression" that counters information loss. The modulated frequency information is then fused with the spatial domain to guide a lightweight yet effective spatial backbone equipped with distance-decayed attention for comprehensive feature extraction. Extensive experiments on FaceForensics++, Celeb-DF, and DFDC datasets demonstrate that BAM-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance. More importantly, it exhibits exceptional generalization in cross-dataset, cross-compression, and cross-manipulation scenarios, underscoring the vital role of adaptive frequency band modulation in building robust forgery detectors.

Cross-Task Generalization in Handwriting-Based Alzheimer's Screening via Vision Language Adaptation

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder for which early detection is critical. Handwriting, which can be disrupted by subtle motor and cognitive decline, provides a non-invasive and cost-effective window for AD screening. Existing handwriting-based AD studies mostly rely on online trajectories and hand-crafted features, while the influence of handwriting task type on diagnostic performance and cross-task generalization remains underexplored. Meanwhile, large-scale vision--language models have demonstrated strong transfer and adaptation ability in natural-image anomaly detection and several medical modalities, such as chest X-ray and brain MRI. However, handwriting-based disease detection remains unexplored within this paradigm. To address this gap, we introduce a lightweight Cross-Layer Fusion Adapter (CLFA) framework that repurposes Contrastive Language--Image Pre-training (CLIP) for handwriting-based AD screening. CLFA inserts multi-level adapters into a frozen visual encoder, combining cross-layer feature fusion with depthwise 2D convolution on patch grids to capture both local stroke irregularities and higher-level handwriting structure. This design progressively aligns pretrained vision--language representations with AD-related handwriting cues and supports transfer from supervised source tasks to task-disjoint unseen target tasks. On the Darwin dataset, under the subject-disjoint cross-task protocol, averaged over all 600 task-disjoint source-target pairs, CLFA achieves 74.63\% AUC, 74.85\% accuracy, and 73.72\% F1 score, outperforming the best competing model by 2.15, 1.79, and 1.87 percentage points, respectively.

LeafTrackNet: A Deep Learning Framework for Robust Leaf Tracking in Top-Down Plant Phenotyping

High-resolution phenotyping at the level of individual leaves offers fine-grained insights into plant development and stress responses. However, the full potential of accurate leaf tracking over time remains largely unexplored due to the absence of robust tracking methods, particularly for structurally complex crops such as canola. Existing plant-specific tracking methods are typically limited to small-scale species or rely on constrained imaging conditions. In contrast, generic multi-object tracking (MOT) methods are not designed for dynamic biological scenes. Progress in the development of accurate leaf tracking models has also been hindered by a lack of large-scale datasets captured under realistic conditions. In this work, we introduce CanolaTrack, a new benchmark dataset comprising 5704 RGB images with 31,840 annotated leaf instances collected from 184 canola plants during their early growth stages. To enable accurate leaf tracking over time, we introduce LeafTrackNet, an efficient framework that combines a YOLOv10-based leaf detector with a MobileNetV3-based embedding network. During inference, leaf identities are maintained over time through an embedding-based memory association strategy. When trained directly on each target dataset without prior CanolaTrack fine-tuning, LeafTrackNet achieves HOTA scores of 88.03, 87.33, and 74.20 on CanolaTrack, KOMATSUNA, and MSU-PID, respectively, outperforming the corresponding second-best methods by 8.35, 4.94, and 1.62 HOTA points. This work provides a new benchmark for leaf-level tracking under realistic conditions and introduces CanolaTrack, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the largest leaf-tracking dataset for agricultural crops. Our code and dataset are publicly available at GitHub.
