We presentMiHazeFree3D, a system that leverages millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar signals to predict 3D bounding boxes of vehicles and pedestrians in real-world traffic scenarios. While current 3D object detection methods rely primarily on cameras and LiDARs, their performance degrades significantly in rain, fog, or poor lighting conditions. Our system exploits mmWave radar’s ability to operate reliably in these challenging conditions, offering a complement to existing sensors without increasing computational costs. The key challenge in using mmWave for 3D detection lies in handling motion-induced errors and the specular reflection of mmWave signals. To address these issues, we developed a deep learning architecture with multiple feature fusion layers and trained it on diverse real-world scenarios. We evaluatedMiHazeFree3Dusing data collected from mmWave radars mounted on the dashboard of an ego-vehicle driving through urban environments. Our results show thatMiHazeFree3Ddetects and bounds both vehicles and pedestrians in tested conditions, including fog and low-light scenarios, highlighting the potential of mmWave radar for 3D object detection in autonomous driving systems. 

Three-dimensional medical image segmentation plays a significant role in clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease research, as it provides doctors with precise anatomical and lesion information and improves the accuracy and efficiency of medical decision-making. However, most existing 3D segmentation approaches rely heavily on densely volumetric data and often fail to perform segmentation properly for incomplete 3D volume acquisition, i.e., missing slices. In this work, we present InterFrameNet, a framework designed to predict intermediate lesion structures by modeling spatial relationships across frames, enabling robust segmentation performance under sparse acquisition conditions, without requiring full-volume information. Our method explicitly models cross-frame spatial continuity and leverages structural relationships between available frames to accurately infer missing lesion regions. This design significantly reduces the dependence on consecutive frames while fully exploiting contextual anatomical information. Extensive experiments on brain lesion datasets demonstrate that our approach achieves robust segmentation performance under sparse acquisition settings, offering a practical solution to maximize usability of incomplete clinical imaging data. 

Accurate segmentation of lesions is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment planning. However, blurring and low contrast in the imaging process can affect segmentation results. We have observed that noninvasive medical imaging shares considerable similarities with natural images under low light conditions and that nocturnal animals possess extremely strong night vision capabilities. Inspired by the dark vision of these nocturnal animals, we proposed a novel plug-and-play dark vision network (DVNet) to enhance the model's perception for low-contrast medical images. Specifically, by employing the wavelet transform, we decompose medical images into subbands of varying frequencies, mimicking the sensitivity of photoreceptor cells to different light intensities. To simulate the antagonistic receptive fields of horizontal cells and bipolar cells, we design a Mamba-Enhanced Fusion Module to achieve global information correlation and enhance contrast between lesions and surrounding healthy tissues. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the DVNet achieves SOTA performance in various medical image segmentation tasks.
