Single-Domain Generalized Object Detection (S-DGOD) aims to train on a single source domain for robust performance across a variety of unseen target domains by taking advantage of an object detector. Existing S-DGOD approaches often rely on data augmentation strategies, including a composition of visual transformations, to enhance the detector's generalization ability. However, the absence of real-world prior knowledge hinders data augmentation from contributing to the diversity of training data distributions. To address this issue, we propose PhysAug, a novel physical model-based non-ideal imaging condition data augmentation method, to enhance the adaptability of the S-DGOD tasks. Drawing upon the principles of atmospheric optics, we develop a universal perturbation model that serves as the foundation for our proposed PhysAug. Given that visual perturbations typically arise from the interaction of light with atmospheric particles, the image frequency spectrum is harnessed to simulate real-world variations during training. This approach fosters the detector to learn domain-invariant representations, thereby enhancing its ability to generalize across various settings. Without altering the network architecture or loss function, our approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art across various S-DGOD datasets. In particular, it achieves a substantial improvement of 7.3% and 7.2% over the baseline on DWD and Cityscape-C, highlighting its enhanced generalizability in real-world settings.

3D scene graphs organize objects and their relationships in a scene into structured representations, providing an interpretable and queryable foundation for relational reasoning and object grounding. Existing open-vocabulary 3D scene graph construction methods primarily focus on object-level feature representation and open-ended edge reasoning. However, they often lack explicit and retrievable associations between object nodes and keyframes, making it difficult to recall relevant visual evidence for target disambiguation and relationship verification in complex queries. Moreover, pre-constructed edges are inherently limited in their ability to cover the diverse linguistic expressions encountered in downstream tasks. To address these limitations, we propose KNA-SG, a framework for constructing open-vocabulary 3D scene graphs from RGB sequences with explicit keyframe–node associations. Built upon instance-grounded 3D reconstruction, KNA-SG represents each object instance as a graph node and uses a unique instance identifier to associate the node with the keyframes in which the instance is observed. The ID-annotated keyframes guide MLLM-based open-vocabulary semantic parsing, enabling semantic attributes to be assigned to these graph nodes. This design transforms keyframes into retrievable visual evidence for target disambiguation and relationship verification during query reasoning. Verified relationships are further written back into the scene graph as reusable relational memory to support subsequent queries. To ensure the effectiveness of selected keyframes, we design a two-stage keyframe selection strategy that combines visual quality assessment with semantic redundancy removal, preserving a set of clear keyframes that provide comprehensive scene coverage. Experimental results show that KNA-SG outperforms existing methods on open-vocabulary 3D semantic segmentation and 3D object grounding tasks.

Single-Domain Generalized Object Detection~(S-DGOD) aims to train an object detector on a single source domain while generalizing well to diverse unseen target domains, making it suitable for multimedia applications that involve various domain shifts, such as intelligent video surveillance and VR/AR technologies. With the success of large-scale Vision-Language Models, recent S-DGOD approaches exploit pre-trained vision-language knowledge to guide invariant feature learning across visual domains. However, the utilized knowledge remains at a coarse-grained level~(e.g., the textual description of adverse weather paired with the image) and serves as an implicit regularization for guidance, struggling to learn accurate region- and object-level features in varying domains. In this work, we propose a new cross-modal feature learning method, which can capture generalized and discriminative regional features for S-DGOD tasks. The core of our method is the mechanism of Cross-modal and Region-aware Feature Interaction, which simultaneously learns both inter-modal and intra-modal regional invariance through dynamic interactions between fine-grained textual and visual features. Moreover, we design a simple but effective strategy called Cross-domain Proposal Refining and Mixing, which aligns the position of region proposals across multiple domains and diversifies them, enhancing the localization ability of detectors in unseen scenarios. Our method achieves new state-of-the-art results on S-DGOD benchmark datasets, with improvements of +8.8\%~mPC on Cityscapes-C and +7.9\%~mPC on DWD over baselines, demonstrating its efficacy.
