Geometry Beats Estimated Depth: RGB-Only Multi-Camera 3D Tracking under Sim2Real
Abdullah Naeem, Anav Katwal, Ayon Dey +2
The AI City Challenge 2026 Track 1 evaluates multi-camera 3D perception in large indoor warehouses under a synthetic-to-real (Sim2Real) setting; depth is available only for trainin…
Leak-Free Cross-Validated Stacking with Per-Architecture Calibration for Sand-Boil Segmentation in Earthen Levees
Padam Jung Thapa, Anav Katwal, Ayon Dey +4
Sand boils, points where water seeping beneath an earthen levee re-emerges at the surface, are early warnings of internal erosion, and deep segmentation networks are increasingly u…
Multi-Conditioned Diffusion Synthesis of Sand Boils for Low-Resource Earthen-Levee Inspection
Padam Jung Thapa, Abdullah Bin Naeem, Ayon Dey +2
Sand boils on earthen levees are safety-critical defects, but pixel-level detection is limited by scarce annotations. We present a diffusion-based synthesis pipeline for low-resour…
ARES-LSHADE: Autoresearch-Enhanced LSHADE with Memetic Polish for the GNBG Benchmark
Abdullah Naeem, Md Wasi Ul kabir, Manish Bhatt +3
We present ARES-LSHADE, a memetic differential-evolution variant submitted to the GECCO 2026 competition on LLM-designed evolutionary algorithms for the Generalized Numerical Bench…
NTIRE 2026 Rip Current Detection and Segmentation (RipDetSeg) Challenge Report
Andrei Dumitriu, Aakash Ralhan, Florin Miron +32
This report presents the NTIRE 2026 Rip Current Detection and Segmentation (RipDetSeg) Challenge, which targets automatic rip current understanding in images. Rip currents are haza…
