Look One Step Ahead: Forward-Looking Incentive Design with Strategic Privacy for Proactive Service Provisioning over Air-Ground Integrated Edge Networks

Sicheng Wu, Minghui Liwang, Yangyang Gao et al.

In air-ground integrated networks (AGINs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide on-demand edge services to ground vehicles. Realizing this vision requires carefully designed incentives to coordinate interactions among self-interested participants. This is exacerbated by the dynamic nature of AGINs, where spatio-temporal variations introduce significant uncertainty in matching UAVs and vehicles. Existing real-time service provisioning typically relies on precise trajectory information, raising privacy concerns and incurring decision latency. To address these challenges, we propose look one-step ahead (LOSA), a novel framework for efficient and privacy-aware service provisioning. By exploiting predictable vehicle travel times between intersections, LOSA decomposes the process into two coupled phases: (i) a privacy-aware look-ahead phase and (ii) a lightweight real-time execution phase. The look-ahead phase allows vehicles to adaptively adjust privacy budgets based on historical utility, balancing trajectory exposure and matching accuracy. Leveraging this, a double auction mechanism establishes binding one-step-ahead agreements (OSAAs) through trajectory similarity clustering, while constructing preference lists to hedge against mobility uncertainty. The execution phase then enforces pre-established OSAAs and preference lists, resolving real-time resource conflicts without costly re-negotiations. This design reduces computational overhead and preserves robustness. We analytically corroborate that LOSA guarantees truthfulness, individual rationality, and budget balance. Experiments on real-world datasets (DAIR-V2X, HighD, and RCooper) demonstrate that LOSA achieves superior privacy protection while lowering transaction latency compared to baseline approaches.

InsHuman: Towards Natural and Identity-Preserving Human Insertion

Jie Li, Shulian Zhang, Yangyang Gao et al.

Human insertion aims to naturally place specific individuals into a target background. Although existing image editing models may have such ability, they often produce failure cases, including inappropriate human pose in new background, inconsistent number of people, and modified facial identity. Moreover, publicly available human datasets often lack full-body portraits and realistic physical interaction between humans and their background. To address these challenges, we propose InsHuman for natural and identity-preserving human insertion. Specifically, we propose Human-Background Adaptive Fusion (HBAF), which detects foreground humans to obtain a binary mask and applies region-aware weighting to align the human regions between predicted and ground-truth latents, ensuring the person's pose, count, and overall appearance are coherently adapted to the target background.We further propose Face-to-Face ID-Preserving (FFIP), which detects and matches faces between the generated image and the source image in terms of face recognition features to enforce identity consistency for each face.In addition, we propose Bidirectional Data Pairing (BDP) strategy to construct BDP-InsHuman, a high-quality dataset with realistic human-background interactions. Experiments demonstrate that InsHuman achieves significant improvements in generating plausible images while keeping human identity unchanged.
