How far have we gone in Generative Image Restoration? A study on its capability, limitations and evaluation practices
Xiang Yin, Jinfan Hu, Zhiyuan You +4
Generative Image Restoration (GIR) has achieved impressive perceptual realism, but how far have its practical capabilities truly advanced compared with previous methods? To answer…
PhotoFramer: Multi-modal Image Composition Instruction
Zhiyuan You, Ke Wang, He Zhang +5
Composition matters during the photo-taking process, yet many casual users struggle to frame well-composed images. To provide composition guidance, we introduce PhotoFramer, a mult…
Position: Evaluation of Visual Processing Should Be Human-Centered, Not Metric-Centered
Jinfan Hu, Fanghua Yu, Zhiyuan You +5
This position paper argues that the evaluation of modern visual processing systems should no longer be driven primarily by single-metric image quality assessment benchmarks, partic…
Accelerating Masked Image Generation by Learning Latent Controlled Dynamics
Kaiwen Zhu, Quansheng Zeng, Yuandong Pu +8
Masked Image Generation Models (MIGMs) have achieved great success, yet their efficiency is hampered by the multiple steps of bi-directional attention. In fact, there exists notabl…
Revisiting the Generalization Problem of Low-level Vision Models Through the Lens of Image Deraining
Jinfan Hu, Zhiyuan You, Jinjin Gu +3
Generalization to unseen degradations remains a fundamental challenge for low-level vision models. This paper aims to investigate the underlying mechanism of this failure, using im…
Teaching Large Language Models to Regress Accurate Image Quality Scores using Score Distribution
Zhiyuan You, Xin Cai, Jinjin Gu +2
With the rapid advancement of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs), MLLM-based Image Quality Assessment (IQA) methods have shown promising performance in linguistic quality de…
