NumColor: Precise Numeric Color Control in Text-to-Image GenerationMuhammad Atif Butt, Diego Hernandez, Alexandra Gomez-Villa et al.
Text-to-image diffusion models excel at generating images from natural language descriptions, yet fail to interpret numerical colors such as hex codes (#FF5733) and RGB values (rgb(255,87,51)). This limitation stems from subword tokenization, which fragments color codes into semantically meaningless tokens that text encoders cannot map to coherent color representations. We present NumColor, that enables precise numerical color control across multiple diffusion architectures. NumColor comprises two components: a Color Token Aggregator that detects color specifications regardless of tokenization, and a ColorBook containing 6,707 learnable embeddings that map colors to embedding space of text encoder in perceptually uniform CIE Lab space. We introduce two auxiliary losses, directional alignment and interpolation consistency, to enforce geometric correspondence between Lab and embedding spaces, enabling smooth color interpolation. To train the ColorBook, we construct NumColor-Data, a synthetic dataset of 500K rendered images with unambiguous color-to-pixel correspondence, eliminating the annotation ambiguity inherent in photographic datasets. Although trained solely on FLUX, NumColor transfers zero-shot to SD3, SD3.5, PixArt-α, and PixArt-Σ without model-specific adaptation. NumColor improves numerical color accuracy by 4-9x across five models, while simultaneously improving color harmony scores by 10-30x on GenColorBench benchmark.

FPGA-Accelerated Neuromorphic Vision System for Real-Time Orbital Object DetectionDiego Hernández, Sebastián Valdivia, Vicente Westerhout et al.
The escalating congestion in orbital space demands advanced monitoring solutions. This work presents a comprehensive open-source framework for neuromorphic resident space object (RSO) detection, adapting the foundational grid clustering algorithm for FPGA acceleration. The system integrates a single event-based camera (EBC) with a custom, distributed processing architecture, where rapid spatial quantization is executed in programmable logic (FPGA) and cluster formation is managed by a software client. We validate this architecture through systematic sampling of night-sky observations from the EVAS dataset, demonstrating 97% detection accuracy for RSOs. The implementation, which serves as a foundational toolkit for event-based FPGA processing, achieves efficient throughput with a total power consumption of 8.5 W and deterministic processing latencies below 62 ms. The architecture's energy efficiency and high-precision detection position it as a viable solution for distributed space surveillance networks.

MV-Fashion: Towards Enabling Virtual Try-On and Size Estimation with Multi-View Paired DataHunor Laczkó, Libang Jia, Loc-Phat Truong et al.
Existing 4D human datasets fall short for fashion-specific research, lacking either realistic garment dynamics or task-specific annotations. Synthetic datasets suffer from a realism gap, whereas real-world captures lack the detailed annotations and paired data required for virtual try-on (VTON) and size estimation tasks. To bridge this gap, we introduce MV-Fashion, a large-scale, multi-view video dataset engineered for domain-specific fashion analysis. MV-Fashion features 3,273 sequences (72.5 million frames) from 80 diverse subjects wearing 3-10 outfits each. It is designed to capture complex, real-world garment dynamics, including multiple layers and varied styling (e.g. rolled sleeves, tucked shirt). A core contribution is a rich data representation that includes pixel-level semantic annotations, ground-truth material properties like elasticity, and 3D point clouds. Crucially for VTON applications, MV-Fashion provides paired data: multi-view synchronized captures of worn garments alongside their corresponding flat, catalogue images. We leverage this dataset to establish baselines for fashion-centric tasks, including virtual try-on, clothing size estimation, and novel view synthesis.
