DiFlowDubber: Discrete Flow Matching for Automated Video Dubbing via Cross-Modal Alignment and Synchronization
Video dubbing has broad applications in filmmaking, multimedia creation, and assistive speech technology. Existing approaches either train directly on limited dubbing datasets or adopt a two-stage pipeline that adapts pre-trained text-to-speech (TTS) models, which often struggle to produce expressive prosody, rich acoustic characteristics, and precise synchronization. To address these issues, we propose DiFlowDubber with a novel two-stage training framework that effectively transfers knowledge from a pre-trained TTS model to video-driven dubbing, with a discrete flow matching generative backbone. Specifically, we design a FaPro module that captures global prosody and stylistic cues from facial expressions and leverages this information to guide the modeling of subsequent speech attributes. To ensure precise speech-lip synchronization, we introduce a Synchronizer module that bridges the modality gap among text, video, and speech, thereby improving cross-modal alignment and generating speech that is temporally synchronized with lip movements. Experiments on two primary benchmark datasets demonstrate that DiFlowDubber outperforms previous methods across multiple metrics.
DuFal: Dual-Frequency-Aware Learning for High-Fidelity Extremely Sparse-view CBCT Reconstruction
Sparse-view Cone-Beam Computed Tomography reconstruction from limited X-ray projections remains a challenging problem in medical imaging due to the inherent undersampling of fine-grained anatomical details, which correspond to high-frequency components. Conventional CNN-based methods often struggle to recover these fine structures, as they are typically biased toward learning low-frequency information. To address this challenge, this paper presents DuFal (Dual-Frequency-Aware Learning), a novel framework that integrates frequency-domain and spatial-domain processing via a dual-path architecture. The core innovation lies in our High-Local Factorized Fourier Neural Operator, which comprises two complementary branches: a Global High-Frequency Enhanced Fourier Neural Operator that captures global frequency patterns and a Local High-Frequency Enhanced Fourier Neural Operator that processes spatially partitioned patches to preserve spatial locality that might be lost in global frequency analysis. To improve efficiency, we design a Spectral-Channel Factorization scheme that reduces the Fourier Neural Operator parameter count. We also design a Cross-Attention Frequency Fusion module to integrate spatial and frequency features effectively. The fused features are then decoded through a Feature Decoder to produce projection representations, which are subsequently processed through an Intensity Field Decoding pipeline to reconstruct a final Computed Tomography volume. Experimental results on the LUNA16 and ToothFairy datasets demonstrate that DuFal significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in preserving high-frequency anatomical features, particularly under extremely sparse-view settings.
