Computer Science > Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
2D Gaussian representations provide an explicit and efficient way to represent images, but their rate-distortion performance under limited budgets depends critically on how Gaussian capacity and parameter precision are allocated. Existing methods typically optimize these two resources separately, overlooking content-dependent capacity demands and heterogeneous quantization sensitivity.

Computer Science > Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Visible-infrared object detectors are used for robust perception under challenging illumination and weather conditions. Current physical attacks apply conspicuous patches to spatially aligned target regions, which are noticeable to human observers. Meanwhile, most of these methods only perturb the appearance within the aligned region, without explicitly targeting the correspondence between modalities or the fusion process.

Discussion about Distinctiveness of a Trademark
The distinctiveness of a trademark refers to the features of distinguishing the source of the goods or services which is a prerequisite for a trademark to be registered. The distinctiveness of a trademark can be inherent or acquired through usage. According to Article 11 of China Trademark Law, a sign lacking of inherent distinctiveness cannot be registered as a trademark unless it has acquired distinctiveness through usage.
Properly relying on the copyright to attack the malicious trademark
Foreign companies often face challenges of attacking the malicious trademark registrations by third parties when entering the China market. However, when a malicious trademark consists of a logo and a word component, a highly effective strategy is to rely on the client's prior copyright to attack the malicious trademark in opposition and invalidation actions. The copyright claim applies regardless of the goods or services covered by the malicious trademark.
What to do if your trademark is preemptively registered by third parties
We are frequently asked by foreign companies that "what to do" when they encountered the issue of their marks being preemptively registered in China by third parties. This has become a common situation that foreign companies often face when they begin the process of filing their trademarks in China. As a result, foreign companies encounter difficulties in registering their trademarks and may even be unable to launch the business in China.
Attitude Change For Letter Of Consent
In many countries and regions, if a mark is rejected by the Trademark Office with citing prior similar mark, a very common practice is that the applicant could seek for the letter of consent from the owner of cited mark to overcome such rejection. For example, in Hong Kong, the examination rule is very flexible, and as long as the two marks are not identical, the letter of consent will be accepted.
Qualified Use Evidence To Maintain The Mark In The Non-Use Cancellation Action
In recent year, China has rapidly become No. 1 country in the world in terms of trademark application filings. Consequently, with such a large volume of marks being filed, the risk of new marks facing prior marks has significantly increased. Therefore, the non-use cancellation action has become one of the effective ways to remove prior registered marks. For maintaining the marks, it is important to understand how to provide proper and qualified evidence in the non-use cancellation procedure.
