Vision Transformers (ViTs) face severe computational bottlenecks due to the quadratic complexity of self-attention at high resolutions. Existing token reduction methods rely on local metrics - such as single-layer attention scores - that are inherently vulnerable to the attention sink phenomenon, where uninformative tokens are paradoxically preserved over salient foreground objects. We propose ASAP (Attention Sink Anchored Pruning), a training-free framework that recasts this sink as a feature. Modeling ViT information flow as a Lazy Random Walk, ASAP identifies the sink as a dominant accumulator of probability mass. By computing the diffusion distance to the sink within the cumulative transition matrix, ASAP partitions tokens via Radial Diffusion Clustering and compresses background redundancy through Transition Weight Pooling in a single shot. Extensive experiments across image, video, and vision-language tasks demonstrate ASAP outperforms state-of-the-art methods, accelerating throughput by up to 48% while maintaining - or even exceeding - baseline accuracy.

The flatfish is a major farmed species consumed globally in large quantities. However, due to the densely populated farming environment, flatfish are susceptible to lesions and diseases, making early lesion detection crucial. Traditionally, lesions were detected through visual inspection, but observing large numbers of fish is challenging. Automated approaches based on deep learning technologies have been widely used to address this problem, but accurate detection remains difficult due to the diversity of the fish and the lack of a fish lesion and disease dataset. This study augments fish lesion images using generative adversarial networks and image harmonization methods. Next, lesion detectors are trained separately for three body parts (head, fins, and body) to address individual lesions properly. Additionally, a flatfish lesion and disease image dataset, called FlatIMG, is created and verified using the proposed methods on the dataset. A flash salmon lesion dataset is also tested to validate the generalizability of the proposed methods. The results achieved 12% higher performance than the baseline framework. This study is the first attempt to create a high-quality flatfish lesion image dataset with detailed annotations and propose an effective lesion detection framework. Automatic lesion and disease monitoring can be achieved in farming environments using the proposed methods and dataset.

Drones have been widely utilized in various fields, but the number of drones being used illegally and for hazardous purposes has increased recently. To prevent those illegal drones, in this work, we propose a novel framework for reconstructing 3D trajectories of drones using a single camera. By leveraging calibrated cameras, we exploit the relationship between 2D and 3D spaces. We automatically track the drones in 2D images using the drone tracker and estimate their 2D rotations. By combining the estimated 2D drone positions with their actual length information and camera parameters, we geometrically infer the 3D trajectories of the drones. To address the lack of public drone datasets, we also create synthetic 2D and 3D drone datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed methods accurately reconstruct drone trajectories in 3D space, and demonstrate the potential of our framework for single camera-based surveillance systems.
