AGC: Adaptive Geodesic Correction for Adversarial Robustness on Vision-Language Models

Vision-language models like CLIP have demonstrated remarkable zero-shot transfer capabilities. However, their susceptibility to imperceptible adversarial perturbations remains a critical security concern. While test-time defenses offer a pragmatic solution for deployed models, existing approaches typically rely on gradient-based optimization during inference, incurring significant computational overhead. In this paper, we revisit the role of data augmentation in CLIP robustness and observe that augmentations are not equally effective: specific augmentations consistently provide robust geometric cues that align with correct class semantics in the hyperspherical feature space. Based on this, we propose Adaptive Geodesic Correction (AGC), a training-free defense mechanism that requires no parameter updates. AGC identifies a reliable augmentation as a geometric anchor and corrects the input feature towards it, utilizing an adaptive step size to balance robustness against clean accuracy preservation. AGC achieves superior performance across eight fine-grained datasets and three CLIP backbones, improving average robust accuracy by 44.4\% over state-of-the-art baseline while delivering a 10$\times$ reduction in inference latency. Our findings reveal a fundamental geometric property of CLIP features, offering a highly efficient and effective paradigm for robust multimodal deployment.

PointCSP: Cross-Sample Semantic Propagation and Stability Preservation in Self-Supervised Point Cloud Learning

Scene-level point cloud self-supervised learning (PC-SSL) has demonstrated potential in enhancing the generalization capability of 3D vision models. Despite the advances in the field through existing methods, the sample-independent modeling paradigm still poses significant limitations in terms of maintaining consistent semantic representations across scenes. This challenge hinders the construction of a unified and transferable semantic space. To address this issue, we propose a PC-SSL framework based on cross-sample semantic propagation (CSP), in which samples within a batch are serialized into continuous input and processed by a state-space model to enable semantic state propagation. This mechanism explicitly models the dynamic dependencies across samples in the state space, allowing the network to establish cross-sample semantic consistency in the latent space and achieve global semantic alignment. Since serialization-based pretraining requires batch-level input organization, we further introduce an asymmetric semantic preservation distillation (SPD) during finetuning to achieve structural alignment of semantic transfer and eliminate inconsistencies caused by batch dependency. The proposed SPD ensures stable transfer of pretrained semantics through a heterogeneous input mechanism and a semantic feature alignment constraint. This enables the model to maintain structured semantic consistency and robustness under single-scene testing conditions. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both performance and semantic consistency.

Surveillance Face Anti-spoofing

Face Anti-spoofing (FAS) is essential to secure face recognition systems from various physical attacks. However, recent research generally focuses on short-distance applications (i.e., phone unlocking) while lacking consideration of long-distance scenes (i.e., surveillance security checks). In order to promote relevant research and fill this gap in the community, we collect a large-scale Surveillance High-Fidelity Mask (SuHiFiMask) dataset captured under 40 surveillance scenes, which has 101 subjects from different age groups with 232 3D attacks (high-fidelity masks), 200 2D attacks (posters, portraits, and screens), and 2 adversarial attacks. In this scene, low image resolution and noise interference are new challenges faced in surveillance FAS. Together with the SuHiFiMask dataset, we propose a Contrastive Quality-Invariance Learning (CQIL) network to alleviate the performance degradation caused by image quality from three aspects: (1) An Image Quality Variable module (IQV) is introduced to recover image information associated with discrimination by combining the super-resolution network. (2) Using generated sample pairs to simulate quality variance distributions to help contrastive learning strategies obtain robust feature representation under quality variation. (3) A Separate Quality Network (SQN) is designed to learn discriminative features independent of image quality. Finally, a large number of experiments verify the quality of the SuHiFiMask dataset and the superiority of the proposed CQIL.

CASIA-SURF: A Large-scale Multi-modal Benchmark for Face Anti-spoofing

Face anti-spoofing is essential to prevent face recognition systems from a security breach. Much of the progresses have been made by the availability of face anti-spoofing benchmark datasets in recent years. However, existing face anti-spoofing benchmarks have limited number of subjects ($\le\negmedspace170$) and modalities ($\leq\negmedspace2$), which hinder the further development of the academic community. To facilitate face anti-spoofing research, we introduce a large-scale multi-modal dataset, namely CASIA-SURF, which is the largest publicly available dataset for face anti-spoofing in terms of both subjects and modalities. Specifically, it consists of $1,000$ subjects with $21,000$ videos and each sample has $3$ modalities (i.e., RGB, Depth and IR). We also provide comprehensive evaluation metrics, diverse evaluation protocols, training/validation/testing subsets and a measurement tool, developing a new benchmark for face anti-spoofing. Moreover, we present a novel multi-modal multi-scale fusion method as a strong baseline, which performs feature re-weighting to select the more informative channel features while suppressing the less useful ones for each modality across different scales. Extensive experiments have been conducted on the proposed dataset to verify its significance and generalization capability.

Cross-ethnicity Face Anti-spoofing Recognition Challenge: A Review

Face anti-spoofing is critical to prevent face recognition systems from a security breach. The biometrics community has %possessed achieved impressive progress recently due the excellent performance of deep neural networks and the availability of large datasets. Although ethnic bias has been verified to severely affect the performance of face recognition systems, it still remains an open research problem in face anti-spoofing. Recently, a multi-ethnic face anti-spoofing dataset, CASIA-SURF CeFA, has been released with the goal of measuring the ethnic bias. It is the largest up to date cross-ethnicity face anti-spoofing dataset covering $3$ ethnicities, $3$ modalities, $1,607$ subjects, 2D plus 3D attack types, and the first dataset including explicit ethnic labels among the recently released datasets for face anti-spoofing. We organized the Chalearn Face Anti-spoofing Attack Detection Challenge which consists of single-modal (e.g., RGB) and multi-modal (e.g., RGB, Depth, Infrared (IR)) tracks around this novel resource to boost research aiming to alleviate the ethnic bias. Both tracks have attracted $340$ teams in the development stage, and finally 11 and 8 teams have submitted their codes in the single-modal and multi-modal face anti-spoofing recognition challenges, respectively. All the results were verified and re-ran by the organizing team, and the results were used for the final ranking. This paper presents an overview of the challenge, including its design, evaluation protocol and a summary of results. We analyze the top ranked solutions and draw conclusions derived from the competition. In addition we outline future work directions.
