Self-supervised Fusarium Head Blight Detection with Hyperspectral Image and Feature Mining

Yu-Fan Lin, Ching-Heng Cheng, Bo-Cheng Qiu et al.

Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a serious fungal disease affecting wheat (including durum), barley, oats, other small cereal grains, and corn. Effective monitoring and accurate detection of FHB are crucial to ensuring stable and reliable food security. Traditionally, trained agronomists and surveyors perform manual identification, a method that is labor-intensive, impractical, and challenging to scale. With the advancement of deep learning and Hyper-spectral Imaging (HSI) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies, employing deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has emerged as a promising solution. Notably, wheat infected with serious FHB may exhibit significant differences on the spectral compared to mild FHB one, which is particularly advantageous for hyperspectral image-based methods. In this study, we propose a self-unsupervised classification method based on HSI endmember extraction strategy and top-K bands selection, designed to analyze material signatures in HSIs to derive discriminative feature representations. This approach does not require expensive device or complicate algorithm design, making it more suitable for practical uses. Our method has been effectively validated in the Beyond Visible Spectrum: AI for Agriculture Challenge 2024.

VISTA: Validation-Guided Integration of Spatial and Temporal Foundation Models with Anatomical Decoding for Rare-Pathology VCE Event Detection -- after competition results

Bo-Cheng Qiu, Fang-Ying Lin, Ming-Han Sun et al.

Capsule endoscopy event detection is challenging because clinically relevant findings are sparse, visually heterogeneous, and evaluated at the event level rather than by frame accuracy. We propose VISTA, a metric-aligned multi-backbone framework for the RAREVISION task. VISTA combines EndoFM-LV for temporal context and DINOv3 ViTL/16 for frame-level visual semantics, followed by a Diverse Head Ensemble (DHE), Validation-Guided Weighted Fusion (VGWF), and Anatomy-Aware Temporal Event Decoding (ATED). The original official submission achieved hidden-test temporal mAP@0.5 of 0.3530 and mAP@0.95 of 0.3235. After the competition, extending local threshold refinement with a global coarse search improved performance to 0.3726 mAP@0.5 and 0.3431 mAP@0.95, ranking Team ACVLab second in the post-competition evaluation.

VISTA: Validation-Guided Integration of Spatial and Temporal Foundation Models with Anatomical Decoding for Rare-Pathology VCE Event Detection

Bo-Cheng Qiu, Yu-Fan Lin, Yu-Zhe Pien et al.

Capsule endoscopy event detection is challenging because diagnostically relevant findings are sparse, visually heterogeneous, and embedded in long, noisy video streams, while evaluation is performed at the event level rather than by frame accuracy alone. We therefore formulate the RARE-VISION task as a metric-aligned event detection problem instead of a purely frame-wise classification task. Our framework combines two complementary backbones, EndoFM-LV for local temporal context and DINOv3 ViT-L/16 for strong frame-level visual semantics, followed by a Diverse Head Ensemble, Validation-Guided Hierarchical Fusion, and Anatomy-Aware Temporal Event Decoding. The fusion stage uses validation-derived class-wise model weighting, backbone weighting, and probability calibration, while the decoding stage applies temporal smoothing, anatomical constraints, threshold refinement, and per-label event generation to produce stable event predictions. Validation ablations indicate that complementary backbones, validation-guided fusion, and anatomy-aware temporal decoding all contribute to event-level performance. On the official hidden test set, the proposed method achieved an overall temporal mAP@0.5 of 0.3530 and temporal mAP@0.95 of 0.3235.

PromptHSI: Universal Hyperspectral Image Restoration with Vision-Language Modulated Frequency Adaptation

Chia-Ming Lee, Ching-Heng Cheng, Yu-Fan Lin et al.

Recent advances in All-in-One (AiO) RGB image restoration have demonstrated the effectiveness of prompt learning in handling multiple degradations within a single model. However, extending these approaches to hyperspectral image (HSI) restoration is challenging due to the domain gap between RGB and HSI features, information loss in visual prompts under severe composite degradations, and difficulties in capturing HSI-specific degradation patterns via text prompts. In this paper, we propose PromptHSI, the first universal AiO HSI restoration framework that addresses these challenges. By incorporating frequency-aware feature modulation, which utilizes frequency analysis to narrow down the restoration search space and employing vision-language model (VLM)-guided prompt learning, our approach decomposes text prompts into intensity and bias controllers that effectively guide the restoration process while mitigating domain discrepancies. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our unified architecture excels at both fine-grained recovery and global information restoration across diverse degradation scenarios, highlighting its significant potential for practical remote sensing applications.

Divide and Conquer: Grounding a Bleeding Areas in Gastrointestinal Image with Two-Stage Model

Yu-Fan Lin, Bo-Cheng Qiu, Chia-Ming Lee et al.

Accurate detection and segmentation of gastrointestinal bleeding are critical for diagnosing diseases such as peptic ulcers and colorectal cancer. This study proposes a two-stage framework that decouples classification and grounding to address the inherent challenges posed by traditional Multi-Task Learning models, which jointly optimizes classification and segmentation. Our approach separates these tasks to achieve targeted optimization for each. The model first classifies images as bleeding or non-bleeding, thereby isolating subsequent grounding from inter-task interference and label heterogeneity. To further enhance performance, we incorporate Stochastic Weight Averaging and Test-Time Augmentation, which improve model robustness against domain shifts and annotation inconsistencies. Our method is validated on the Auto-WCEBleedGen Challenge V2 Challenge dataset and achieving second place. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in classification accuracy and segmentation precision, especially on sequential datasets with consistent visual patterns. This study highlights the practical benefits of a two-stage strategy for medical image analysis and sets a new standard for GI bleeding detection and segmentation. Our code is publicly available at this GitHub repository.
