Family Matters: A Systematic Study of Spatial vs. Frequency Masking for Continual Test-Time Adaptation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2512.08048v3 Announce Type: replace Recent continual test-time adaptation (CTTA) methods adopt masked image modeling to stabilize learning under distribution shift, yet each treats its masking family F as a fixed design choice and innovates exclusively along the selection strategy S, leaving the family axis underexplored. We present a systematic empirical study that isolates this axis.
