ControlFuse: Instruction-guided Multi-Granularity Controllable Image Fusion

Libo Zhao

Infrared and Visible Image Fusion (IVIF) produces enhanced images by fusing complementary visual information. However, most existing methods generate fixed outputs and cannot flexibly adapt to user-specific requirements. Recent text-guided approaches offer partial control but are limited to global or semantic levels, lacking instance-level control. This limitation arises from two challenges: first, the lack of datasets that directly link textual instructions with corresponding spatial annotations, and second, the use of coarse cross-modal alignment methods that struggle to precisely match textual instructions with visual features. To overcome these challenges, we propose ControlFuse, a controllable IVIF framework enabling multi-granularity fusion across global, semantic, and instance levels, guided by user instructions. First, we construct an automated multi-granularity dataset that provides explicit textual-mask correspondences at these three levels. Second, inspired by manifold geometry, we design a Multimodal Feature Interaction Module (MFIM) comprising Feature Manifold Converter (FMC) and Curvature-Guided Interaction (CGI). FMC projects textual and visual features into a unified manifold space, while CGI leverages manifold curvature as a geometric cue to refine cross-modal alignment. Extensive experiments validate ControlFuse, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in robustness and flexibility.

To achieve high-quality translation with low latency, a Simultaneous Speech Translation (SimulST) system relies on a policy module to decide whether to translate immediately or wait for additional streaming input, along with a translation model capable of effectively handling partial speech input. Prior research has tackled these components separately, either using ``wait-k'' policies based on fixed-length segments or detected word boundaries, or dynamic policies based on different strategies (e.g., meaningful units), while employing offline models for prefix-to-prefix translation. In this paper, we propose Divergence-Guided Simultaneous Speech Translation (DiG-SST), a tightly integrated approach focusing on both translation quality and latency for streaming input. Specifically, we introduce a simple yet effective prefix-based strategy for training translation models with partial speech input, and develop an adaptive policy that makes read/write decisions for the translation model based on the expected divergence in translation distributions resulting from future input. Our experiments on multiple translation directions of the MuST-C benchmark demonstrate that our approach achieves a better trade-off between translation quality and latency compared to existing methods.
