PixelUMM: Encoder-Free Unified Image and Video Understanding and Generation
Cong Wei, Xuanchi Ren, Bryan Chu +8
Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) often rely on separate visual representations for understanding and generation, increasing visual context length and complicating integration with…
Context-Matched Distillation: Teacher Causality for Autoregressive Video Distillation
Hmrishav Bandyopadhyay, Xuanchi Ren, Zijian Huang +7
Interactive autoregressive video generation demands both low-latency rollouts and precise online control. Few-step distillation accelerates generation by reducing denoising steps,…
NVIDIA OmniDreams: Real-Time Generative World Model for Closed-Loop Autonomous Vehicle Simulation
NVIDIA, :, Aarti Basant +33
As autonomous vehicle capabilities advance, the safe evaluation of driving policies in long-tail scenarios remains a critical bottleneck. In closed-loop simulation, the driving pol…
Beyond Scene Priors: Fine-Grained Traffic Scene Reasoning with Benchmarking and Query-Guided Small-Object Focus
Waikit Xiu, Qiang Lu, Zian Wang +4
In safety-critical traffic scenarios, answering complex questions relies on minute, localized visual cues. However, standard Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) tend to over-a…
HorizonRelight: Relighting Long-horizon Videos Consistently via Diffusion Transformers
Jing Yang, Mayoore Jaiswal, Zian Wang +4
Diffusion-based video relighting enables controllable relighting from a single input video, but modern video diffusion backbones are trained on short clips and applied to long-hori…
Data-Forcing Distillation: Restoring Diversity and Fidelity in Few-Step Video Generation
Siyi Chen, Shaowei Liu, Yixuan Jia +4
Recent progress has shown promise in distilling multi-step video diffusion models into efficient few-step students. Among them, Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) and its suc…
TRON: Tracing Rays to Orchestrate a Neural Renderer for 3D Gaussian Reconstructions
Or Perel, Hassan Abu Alhaija, Zian Wang +4
We introduce TRON, a rendering framework that combines 3D Gaussian ray tracing with neural rendering to enable realistic and controllable rendering of real-world 3D scenes under no…
APE: Agentic Prompt Enhancer for Image Generation and Editing
Zijian Huang, Jay Zhangjie Wu, Zian Wang +5
Natural language has become a powerful interface for image generation and editing, yet text-guided visual systems remain highly sensitive to prompt formulation. Semantically simila…
Gamma-World: Generative Multi-Agent World Modeling Beyond Two Players
Fangfu Liu, Kai He, Tianchang Shen +7
World models for interactive video generation have largely focused on single-agent settings, where future observations are generated from a single control signal. However, many gen…
DRIFT: Driving Risk Inference via Field Transmission for Human-like Autonomous Driving
Zian Wang, Yiming Shu, Zejian Deng +1
Risk fields offer spatially structured alternatives to scalar safety metrics. However, hand-crafted static risk field models struggle with occlusion and topology-driven propagation…
PiD: Fast and High-Resolution Latent Decoding with Pixel Diffusion
Yifan Lu, Qi Wu, Jay Zhangjie Wu +4
Most practical high-resolution text-to-image systems, including latent diffusion and autoregressive models, perform generation in a compact latent space, and a decoder maps the gen…
The Fourth Challenge on Image Super-Resolution (4) at NTIRE 2026: Benchmark Results and Method Overview
Zheng Chen, Kai Liu, Jingkai Wang +150
This paper presents the NTIRE 2026 image super-resolution (4) challenge, one of the associated competitions of the NTIRE 2026 Workshop at CVPR 2026. The challenge aims to r…
Lyra 2.0: Explorable Generative 3D Worlds
Tianchang Shen, Sherwin Bahmani, Kai He +12
Recent advances in video generation enable a new paradigm for 3D scene creation: generating camera-controlled videos that simulate scene walkthroughs, then lifting them to 3D via f…
