PixelART: Image-to-Layer Decomposition without Latents or Text-to-Image Pretraining

Zelin Jia, Zhao Zhang, Zhicong Tang +2

Image-to-layer decomposition converts a flattened image into editable RGBA layers, enabling element-level editing in design workflows. Existing diffusion-based systems typically ad…

MRT: Masked Region Transformer for Layered Image Generation and Editing at Scale

Zhicong Tang, Zhao Zhang, Jingye Chen +6

Layered image generation and editing is a fundamental capability that enables layer-wise reuse, editing, and composition of generated visual content, analogous to word-level editin…

Incorporating Pre-trained Diffusion Models in Solving the Schrödinger Bridge Problem

Zhicong Tang, Tiankai Hang, Shuyang Gu +2

This paper aims to unify Score-based Generative Models (SGMs), also known as Diffusion models, and the Schrödinger Bridge (SB) problem through three reparameterization techniques:…

Improved Vector Quantized Diffusion Models

Zhicong Tang, Shuyang Gu, Jianmin Bao +2

Vector quantized diffusion (VQ-Diffusion) is a powerful generative model for text-to-image synthesis, but sometimes can still generate low-quality samples or weakly correlated imag…
