Additive Causal Construction for Transferable and Reconfigurable Cross-System Learning in Multi-Source Image Fusion
arXiv:2607.02572v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In multi-source image fusion scenarios, heterogeneous inputs are typically driven by distinct generative mechanisms and can be viewed as a composition of multiple causal systems. However, cross-system discrepancy (CSD) and cross-system entanglement (CSE) commonly arise during the fusion process, often leading to significant performance degradation under out-of-distribution (OOD) predictions. To address the CSD and CSE issues, we propose the additive causal construction (ACC) framework, which characterizes information fusion at two levels: first
The increasing complexity of AI systems and the proliferation of diverse data sources necessitate more robust methods for fusing information without introducing harmful biases or errors inherent to multi-source integration.
Improving multi-source image fusion is crucial for advancing AI capabilities in fields like robotics, autonomous systems, and medical imaging, where robust OOD performance is critical.
This research introduces a novel framework that directly addresses fundamental issues of cross-system discrepancy and entanglement in multi-source fusion, potentially leading to more reliable and transferable AI models.
