When Two Tracers Disagree: An Investigation of Multimodal Fusion for Clinical PET/CT Segmentation

Jack A. Johnson, Bartłomiej W. Papież

PSMA and FDG PET/CT visualise complementary biological information in prostate cancer. Combining both tracers could capture heterogeneous tumour phenotypes that may be missed by either alone, yet there is no consensus on effective deep learning architectures for fusing these modalities. We evaluated multimodal image-fusion strategies for automatic whole-body PET/CT lesion segmentation to estimate ...

Fuzzy Accuracy Compensates for Label Subjectivity in Classification of Skin Tone Using Wearable Photoplethysmography Signals

Padmini Krishnadas, Urs Hackstein, Alen Bosnjakovic, Philip J. Aston

We consider the problem of classification of skin tone using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals with labels of the ordinal six-class Fitzpatrick skin tones. A typical accuracy for this task is a poor 40-55 %. However, the labels are subjectively determined by comparing the skin with a colour chart, and hence contain widespread small-scale inaccuracies. By working with a "fuzzy accuracy", which dee...

CL4D: Contrastive Language-4D Pretraining for Vision-Language Reasoning in Dynamic Scenes

Kumal Hewagamage, Isuranga Senavirathne, Sasika Amarasinghe, Hasitha Gallella, Dulanga Weerakoon et al.

4D understanding and reasoning is a fundamental capability for embodied AI agents operating in dynamic physical environments. However, existing vision encoders are largely limited to static 2D images or 3D point clouds without temporal modeling, or to 2D videos that lack accurate geometric depth reasoning. Consequently, current approaches fail to jointly capture spatial structure and motion evolut...

The Impact of CutMix on Reliability and Robustness in Semantic Segmentation

Steven Landgraf, Markus Ulrich

Ensuring not only high accuracy but also reliable and robust predictions is critical for the deployment of semantic segmentation models in safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving. Despite the widespread use of CutMix - a simple yet powerful data augmentation strategy - its effect on the reliability and robustness in dense predictions tasks remains unexplored. Motivated by recent fi...

EgoHRV: Continuous Heart Rate Variability Estimation from Egocentric Systems for Autonomic Response and Skill Assessment

Berken Utku Demirel, Christian Holz

Egocentric vision systems capture human behavior from visible cues, but overlook physiological indicators of autonomic states such as stress, engagement, and attention. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a widely used noninvasive marker of autonomic regulation under stress. HRV reflects small timing differences between successive heartbeats and has so far been out of reach for egocentric platforms, w...

A Critical Synthesis of Uncertainty Quantification and Foundation Models for Semantic Segmentation

Steven Landgraf, Joceline Hinz, Markus Ulrich

Foundation models are increasingly breaking what seemed to be impossible not long ago by enabling unprecedented accuracy and cross-domain generalization. Yet their lack of interpretability, tendency to be overconfident, and sensitivity to real-world domain shifts pose critical challenges for safety- and mission-critical applications. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) offers a principled way to addre...

Scale Matters: Adaptive Granularity Selection for Cross-Species 3D Plant Organ Segmentation

Carla Salazar, Lazaros Nalpantidis

Recent 3D foundation models provide powerful feature representations for point cloud learning by controlling spatial granularity. However, relying on a fixed spatial granularity severely limits generalization in applications like plant phenotyping, where organ morphology and size vary substantially across species and growth stages. To address this, we propose AGS-PlantSeg, a few-shot 3D plant orga...

Beyond Instrument Motion: Recognizing Tissue Tension Toward Surgical Skill Assessment

Marko Haralović, Zhiqi Miao, Alexander Machiel Bont, Jiapan Guo, Frans van Workum et al.

Surgical performance assessment in minimally invasive surgery largely relies on manual expert review, making it time-consuming, subjective, and difficult to scale. While existing surgical video understanding methods address tasks such as instrument segmentation, surgical phase recognition, and action recognition, they do not explicitly capture fine-grained tissue handling, a key indicator of surgi...
