ENEAS: Embedding-guided Neural Ensemble for Adaptive Segmentation

We present ENEAS, a unified, text-promptable method for instance tracking and semantic discovery. Text-promptable segmentation models, including the latest foundation models such as SAM 3, still suffer from temporal hallucinations, spatial fragmentation, and semantic misclassification: they fail to report target absence when an object leaves the field of view, segment local textures instead of the complete object during extreme close-ups, and prioritize visual features over ontological reality, so that visually similar artifacts such as statues, paintings, or reflections are segmented as target entities. ENEAS works two ways from a single method: precise tracking and high-quality segmentation of a unique instance, and open-concept discovery of every instance a text query names, resolved by a semantic verification layer. For tracking, we extend the geometrically robust SeC architecture, previously limited to point interactions, with a text-prompting adapter and leverage its temporal memory, so that the target is held through disappearance without drifting to distractors and kept whole even when it fills the entire view. For discovery, the verification layer combines high-speed visual embedding matching with conditional VLM refinement, invoking semantic reasoning only for ambiguous candidates, which filters out the ontological errors that visual-only models cannot distinguish while keeping latency low. Designed with 3D reconstruction in mind, where a single misclassified distractor corrupts the asset, ENEAS unlocks high-quality semantic tracking and segmentation of video, of broad libraries, and of collections of temporally or spatially unordered data, together with the discrimination to tell true instances from their doppelgangers: things that look alike but are not the same.

GKDT: General Keypoint Detection Transformer

With the emergence of various pre-trained vision and language models, computer vision is shifting from narrow-domain to open-domain recognition. The construction of a more powerful yet general keypoint detection (GKD) model to support diverse tasks has become increasingly important in the field. To this end, we firstly present a large-scale unified keypoint dataset called MegaKPT. The dataset is composed of over 1.3 million diverse object instances from twenty-nine existing datasets, and enjoys high-quality unified annotations with keypoint text descriptions. Based on MegaKPT, we develop GKDT, a simple, flexible and powerful DINOv3 based Transformer model for General Keypoint Detection. Our GKDT supports visual prompts, text prompts, or both. To enhance model training, we also propose a suite of useful strategies such as mix-modal prompted training and dynamic importance sampling. By testing over 22 test sets with seen or unseen objects, our single GKDT model shows strong performance and generality in detecting keypoints on broad categories, with most categories over 90\% PCK@0.1 accuracy, offering high practical applicability to real-world problems. The dataset, models, and codes will be released at https://github.com/AlanLuSun/General-Keypoint-Detection.
