MemoryFusion: Cross-Temporal Memory Learning for Multimodal Video Fusion

Meiqi Gong, Hao Zhang, Jiayi Ma

Multimodal videos contain rich temporal cues that can facilitate faithful fusion. However, existing video fusion methods mainly rely on short-range temporal interactions, leaving valuable long-term information underexplored. Moreover, inconsistent fusion representations can cause flickering artifacts, undermining temporal coherence. To address these coupled challenges, we propose MemoryFusion, a two-stage framework integrating cross-temporal memory learning with progressive temporal refinement. Considering the complementary roles of adjacent and distant frames, the first stage combines a Short-Term Memory Bank for local temporal guidance with a Long-Term Memory Bank that preserves reliable historical information through a fusion-oriented update strategy. To mitigate temporal fluctuations, a Temporal Smoothing Module leverages soft motion cues for coarse background stabilization. Building upon the resulting fusion prior, The second stage further employs a lightweight 3D residual Temporal Refinement Module to correct remaining temporal inconsistencies while enhancing structural details. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MemoryFusion achieves superior fusion quality and…
