Image 1 — Alt Text (English)
A black‑and‑white street photograph featuring a convex traffic mirror mounted on a pole. Above the mirror is a worn traffic sign. Reflected in the mirror is a traditional building with ornate roof details, several pedestrians, and another pole. Tree branches and part of a tiled roof frame the upper portion of the image. The scene blends old architectural elements with modern street infrastructure.

A black‑and‑white street scene showing two people walking past a wall covered in dark spray‑paint marks and smudges. One person holds a drink with a straw. The wall behind them is rough and weathered, with a small hole and a wire protruding from it. The overall atmosphere is gritty and urban, capturing a candid moment of daily life.

A black‑and‑white photograph of a narrow alley entrance lined with brick walls. Multiple birdcages hang overhead, some containing birds, along with gourds and tangled wires. A man sits on the left, leaning on a motorcycle while looking at his phone. Calendars and posters cover the wall behind him. On the right, a small table holds jars, and bags labeled “cat litter” sit nearby. The alleyway behind is dark and recedes into shadow.

A black‑and‑white photograph of a crowded hardware store entrance filled with plumbing supplies. Pipes, hoses, boxes, and various fittings are stacked densely. Two people inside appear to be talking or making a transaction. Chinese signage above the entrance advertises plumbing and hardware products, and the address “Andingmen Inner Street No. 242” is visible. The scene captures the busy, cluttered character of a small urban shop.

A black‑and‑white photograph showing several leafless trees on the left side of the frame. Their thin branches extend upward and outward against a blank sky that occupies the right side. Among the branches, a small star‑shaped object is visible, positioned slightly above the center. The scene is quiet and minimal, with strong contrast between the dark branches and the pale sky.

A black‑and‑white close view of a gravel surface. Two parallel curved tracks run through the gravel, suggesting something small moved across it. The gravel pieces vary in size and create a rough texture. The tracks are slightly darker than the surrounding stones and form gentle arcs across the frame.

A nighttime black‑and‑white image showing a triangular traffic sign behind a metal fence. The sign is illuminated and displays the character “让,” meaning “give way to.” Vertical and horizontal metal bars in the foreground partially obscure the sign, creating a grid‑like pattern. The background is dark, making the lit sign stand out.

A black‑and‑white outdoor scene with snow covering the ground. Patches of grass and small twigs protrude through the snow in the foreground. Behind them, dense branches from a coniferous tree fill much of the background, with needle‑like leaves creating a textured pattern. The contrast between the bright snow and the dark branches is prominent.

Copy-Trasform-Paste: Zero-Shot Object-Object Alignment Guided by Vision-Language and Geometric Constraints
Rotem Gatenyo, Ohad Fried

arXiv:2601.14207v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study zero-shot 3D alignment of two given meshes, using a text prompt describing their spatial relation -- an essential capability for content creation and scene assembly. Earlier approaches primarily rely on geometric alignment procedures, while recent work leverages pretrained 2D diffusion models to model language-conditioned object-object spatial relationships. In contrast, we directly optimize the relative pose at test time, updating translation, rotation, and isotropic scale with CLIP-driven gradients via a differentiable renderer, without training a new model. Our framework augments language supervision with geometry-aware objectives: a variant of soft-Iterative Closest Point (ICP) term to encourage surface attachment and a penetration loss to discourage interpenetration. A phased schedule strengthens contact constraints over time, and camera control concentrates the optimization on the interaction region. To enable evaluation, we curate a benchmark containing diverse categories and relations, and compare against baselines. Our method outperforms all alternatives, yielding semantically faithful and physically plausible alignments.

paused for 100 million years,
then roared back to life.
