AdaptOVCD: Training-Free Open-Vocabulary Remote Sensing Change Detection via Adaptive Information FusionMingyu Dou, Shi Qiu, Ming Hu et al.
Remote sensing change detection plays a pivotal role in domains such as environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster assessment. However, existing methods typically rely on predefined categories and large-scale pixel-level annotations, which limit their generalization and applicability in open-world scenarios. To address these limitations, this paper proposes AdaptOVCD, a training-free Open-Vocabulary Change Detection (OVCD) architecture based on dual-dimensional multi-level information fusion. The framework integrates multi-level information fusion across data, feature, and decision levels vertically while incorporating targeted adaptive designs horizontally, achieving deep synergy among heterogeneous pre-trained models to effectively mitigate error propagation. Specifically, (1) at the data level, Adaptive Radiometric Alignment (ARA) fuses radiometric statistics with original texture features and synergizes with SAM-HQ to achieve radiometrically consistent segmentation; (2) at the feature level, Adaptive Change Thresholding (ACT) combines global difference distributions with edge structure priors and leverages DINOv3 to achieve robust change detection; (3) at the decision level, Adaptive Confidence Filtering (ACF) integrates semantic confidence with spatial constraints and collaborates with DGTRS-CLIP to achieve high-confidence semantic identification. Comprehensive evaluations across nine scenarios demonstrate that AdaptOVCD detects arbitrary category changes in a zero-shot manner, significantly outperforming existing training-free methods. Meanwhile, it achieves 84.89\% of the fully-supervised performance upper bound in cross-dataset evaluations and exhibits superior generalization capabilities.

UAV-OVVIS: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Also Need Open-Vocabulary Video Instance SegmentationMingyu Dou, Shi Qiu, Ming Hu et al.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) videos are widely used in traffic monitoring, urban management, and emergency rescue. However, existing UAV video perception mainly relies on box-level localization and trajectory association under predefined categories, making it difficult to simultaneously support flexible queries and fine-grained instance-level dynamic understanding in open scenarios. To this end, we introduce a new task, UAV Open-Vocabulary Video Instance Segmentation (UAV-OVVIS), which discovers targets in UAV videos according to open-vocabulary queries and outputs instance-level segmentation trajectories with globally consistent identities. Considering the scarcity of instance-level annotations in UAV scenarios, we propose AeroTrack, a training-free unified framework. AeroTrack centers on periodic open-vocabulary detection, short-segment mask propagation, and cross-segment identity unification, reusing existing visual foundation models to enable UAV-OVVIS. Based on this framework, we instantiate five AeroTrack variants and construct AeroVIS, an evaluation benchmark for UAV-OVVIS containing 9 UAV object categories and 8,279 trajectories. Experiments show that AeroTrack substantially outperforms existing general video instance segmentation methods in UAV scenarios and demonstrates strong open-vocabulary robustness and generalization. To support future research, we release AeroTrack and AeroVIS as a unified framework and benchmark for UAV-OVVIS.

FB-CLIP: Fine-Grained Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection with Foreground-Background DisentanglementMing Hu, Yongsheng Huo, Mingyu Dou et al.
Fine-grained anomaly detection is crucial in industrial and medical applications, but labeled anomalies are often scarce, making zero-shot detection challenging. While vision-language models like CLIP offer promising solutions, they struggle with foreground-background feature entanglement and coarse textual semantics. We propose FB-CLIP, a framework that enhances anomaly localization via multi-strategy textual representations and foreground-background separation. In the textual modality, it combines End-of-Text features, global-pooled representations, and attention-weighted token features for richer semantic cues. In the visual modality, multi-view soft separation along identity, semantic, and spatial dimensions, together with background suppression, reduces interference and improves discriminability. Semantic Consistency Regularization (SCR) aligns image features with normal and abnormal textual prototypes, suppressing uncertain matches and enlarging semantic gaps. Experiments show that FB-CLIP effectively distinguishes anomalies from complex backgrounds, achieving accurate fine-grained anomaly detection and localization under zero-shot settings.

Channel-Imposed Fusion: A Simple yet Effective Method for Medical Time Series ClassificationMing Hu, Jianfu Yin, Mingyu Dou et al.
The automatic classification of medical time series signals, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG), plays a pivotal role in clinical decision support and early detection of diseases. Although Transformer based models have achieved notable performance by implicitly modeling temporal dependencies through self-attention mechanisms, their inherently complex architectures and opaque reasoning processes undermine their trustworthiness in high stakes clinical settings. In response to these limitations, this study shifts focus toward a modeling paradigm that emphasizes structural transparency, aligning more closely with the intrinsic characteristics of medical data. We propose a novel method, Channel Imposed Fusion (CIF), which enhances the signal-to-noise ratio through cross-channel information fusion, effectively reduces redundancy, and improves classification performance. Furthermore, we integrate CIF with the Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), known for its structural simplicity and controllable receptive field, to construct an efficient and explicit classification framework. Experimental results on multiple publicly available EEG and ECG datasets demonstrate that the proposed method not only outperforms existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches in terms of various classification metrics, but also significantly enhances the transparency of the classification process, offering a novel perspective for medical time series classification.
