Diversity-aware View Partitioning for Scalable VGGT

Jinsoo Park, Donggyu Choi, Ahyun Seo et al.

Geometry transformers such as VGGT achieve strong performance by jointly reasoning over multiple views with global attention. However, scaling them to large view collections remains challenging due to the quadratic cost of attention. Moreover, our empirical analysis reveals that the reconstruction quality in VGGT is sensitive to the distribution of viewpoints. Simply increasing the number of views without sufficient viewpoint diversity can even degrade performance, as redundant views introduce highly similar tokens that dilute informative geometric signals in the attention mechanism. Motivated by this observation, we propose a training-free and plug-and-play VGGT inference framework that organizes views into diversity-aware balanced chunks. The chunks are constructed through combinatorial graph partitioning over visual dissimilarity and spatial dispersion. This view organization allows the transformer to focus attention on geometrically informative views while reducing redundant attention interactions. To estimate spatial dispersion without full pose estimation, we approximate spatial relationships via a soft pose propagation strategy based on visual similarity from a small set of seed frames. Extensive experiments demonstrate improved performance in camera pose estimation, multi-view depth prediction, and 3D reconstruction while reducing memory usage and inference latency. Our framework also complements existing VGGT variants, enabling scalable multi-view reconstruction without sacrificing geometric fidelity.

Universal Image Immunization against Diffusion-based Image Editing via Semantic Injection

Chanhui Lee, Seunghyun Shin, Donggyu Choi et al.

Recent advances in diffusion models have enabled powerful image editing capabilities guided by natural language prompts, unlocking new creative possibilities. However, they introduce significant ethical and legal risks, such as deepfakes and unauthorized use of copyrighted visual content. To address these risks, image immunization has emerged as a promising defense against AI-driven semantic manipulation. Yet, most existing approaches rely on image-specific adversarial perturbations that require individual optimization for each image, thereby limiting scalability and practicality. In this paper, we propose the first universal image immunization framework that generates a single, broadly applicable adversarial perturbation specifically designed for diffusion-based editing pipelines. Inspired by universal adversarial perturbation (UAP) techniques used in targeted attacks, our method generates a UAP that embeds a semantic target into images to be protected. Simultaneously, it suppresses original content to effectively misdirect the model's attention during editing. As a result, our approach effectively blocks malicious editing attempts by overwriting the original semantic content in the image via the UAP. Moreover, our method operates effectively even in data-free settings without requiring access to training data or domain knowledge, further enhancing its practicality and broad applicability in real-world scenarios. Extensive experiments show that our method, as the first universal immunization approach, significantly outperforms several baselines in the UAP setting. In addition, despite the inherent difficulty of universal perturbations, our method also achieves performance on par with image-specific methods under a more restricted perturbation budget, while also exhibiting strong black-box transferability across different diffusion models.
