Abstract: Blind all-in-one image restoration must adapt a shared model to heterogeneous and sometimes mixed degradations without a task label at test time. We introduce WaFIR, a decoder module that decomposes features into Haar subbands, summarizes each subband with a compact Fourier descriptor, and routes it to prompt-conditioned spectral modulation experts. Unlike image-level frequency conditioning, WaFIR makes routing decisions at the subband level, enabling frequency-specific processing while retaining the task context learned by the backbone. Under a unified training and evaluation protocol for denoising, deraining, and dehazing, WaFIR improves average PSNR over the three tasks by 0.48 dB over the PromptIR baseline and by 0.38 dB over the recent Up-Restorer. Matched-capacity and routing controls show that the gain is not explained by additional parameters alone. On unseen noise intensities, descriptor-based routing is more robust than a discrete label-conditioned alternative and remains on par under compound degradations, while routing analyses show stable subband-dependent expert use across degradation types. These results support subband frequency structure as an interpretable complement to prompt-based conditioning for blind image restoration.

Abstract: Low-light video enhancement requires the recovery of brightness, color, and fine spatial structures while preserving temporal coherence in the presence of noise and motion. Existing methods often struggle to balance these objectives, particularly in severely degraded regions. This paper presents CRISP, a recurrent framework trained using a progressive illumination curriculum. Its two-frame recurrent architecture propagates information across successive frames to exploit temporal context beyond the immediate input pair. During training, supervision progressively transitions from intermediate targets interpolated between the low-light input and the reference to the full reference, gradually increasing the required brightness and color correction. This curriculum stabilizes recurrent training without introducing additional inference cost and yields the largest performance improvement among the components evaluated in the ablation study. To further support structural reconstruction, the framework optionally incorporates frozen DINOv3 semantic features through adaptive layer normalization (AdaLN)-style modulation, without fine-tuning the foundation model. Experiments on DID and BVI-RLV demonstrate that CRISP achieves the highest PSNR on DID and the highest SSIM on BVI-RLV among the evaluated methods, while maintaining computational efficiency.

Abstract: Referring Video Object Segmentation (RVOS) aims to produce a pixel-accurate mask sequence for an object specified by natural language. Sa2VA combines a multimodal large language model with SAM2 for grounded segmentation; however, its inference typically grounds the query from a small fixed set of initial keyframes and then relies on propagation. In long or dynamic videos, this can cause stale grounding and persistent false positives when the object composition changes (e.g., distractors enter or the target disappears/re-appears). We propose Event-Driven Refresh + Recurrence Memory (EDRRM), an enhancement that selectively re-invokes Sa2VA only at stable change points. EDRRM triggers refresh boundaries using an EMA-smoothed event score computed from tracking-derived cues (births/deaths and coarse composition/layout changes) with temporal constraints. A recurrence memory further retrieves anchor frames via CLIP similarity to re-condition the model on re-appearance events. Experiments on Ref-DAVIS17, MeViS, and ReVOS show that EDRRM achieves a competitive accuracy-efficiency trade-off relative to fixed-window and FrameDiff-SSIM baselines, maintaining comparable or superior J&F scores at substantially lower average refresh-call budgets and reducing false-positive failures. End-to-end runtime analysis further confirms that the overhead introduced by tracking, CLIP-based recurrence matching, and the identifiability gate remains modest relative to the dominant Sa2VA inference cost, thereby validating the efficiency of the proposed pipeline.

Abstract: Current Transformer-based tracking methods typically stack multiple Transformer blocks with separate parameters to model interactions between the target template and the search region for target localization. These trackers often incur substantial parameter overhead from stacked blocks, making their deployment on resource-limited devices difficult. To address this, we propose a parameter-efficient Transformer tracking framework, dubbed LoopTrack, which repeatedly applies a set of Transformer blocks with shared parameters to interact features in a looped architecture for tracking, significantly reducing the number of parameters. To further exploit target cues, we present two lightweight designs, including target-aware looping (TAL) and gated target memory (GTM). The former applies intermediate target information generated by one loop to guide feature interaction in the subsequent loop, enabling progressive feature refinement, while the latter maintains a compact memory across frames, which is incorporated into the loop process to provide long-term information to the tracker, mitigating temporal drift in tracking. Compared to existing Transformer trackers, LoopTrack enables multiple rounds of feature interaction with fewer model parameters, making it resource-friendly for deployment. In extensive experiments on multiple datasets, LoopTrack shows a favorable accuracy-parameter trade-off. In particular, our LoopTrack$_{\rm One}$, with a single shared Transformer block, achieves 66.2\% SUC score on LaSOT with only 3.4M parameters, while LoopTrack$_{\rm Three}$, using three shared blocks, achieves 69.3\% SUC score with 6.4M parameters, surpassing existing parameter-efficient tracking methods with comparable or larger model size. With LoopTrack, we aim to establish a simple yet strong baseline for parameter-efficient Transformer tracking. Our code and models will be released.
