Visual Generation in the New Era: An Evolution from Atomic Mapping to Agentic World Modeling
Keming Wu, Zuhao Yang, Kaichen Zhang +24
Recent visual generation models have made major progress in photorealism, typography, instruction following, and interactive editing, yet they still struggle with spatial reasoning…
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…
Bridging the RGB-IR Gap: Consensus and Discrepancy Modeling for Text-Guided Multispectral Detection
Jiaqi Wu, Zhen Wang, Enhao Huang +5
Text-guided multispectral object detection uses text semantics to guide semantic-aware cross-modal interaction between RGB and IR for more robust perception. However, notable limit…
Few-Step Distillation for Text-to-Image Generation: A Practical Guide
Yifan Pu, Yizeng Han, Zhiwei Tang +4
Diffusion distillation has dramatically accelerated class-conditional image synthesis, but its applicability to open-ended text-to-image (T2I) generation is still unclear. We prese…
Linear Differential Vision Transformer: Learning Visual Contrasts via Pairwise Differentials
Yifan Pu, Jixuan Ying, Qixiu Li +7
Vision Transformers (ViTs) have become a universal backbone for both image recognition and image generation. Yet their Multi-Head Self-Attention (MHSA) layer still performs a quadr…
Beyond Single Frames: Can LMMs Comprehend Temporal and Contextual Narratives in Image Sequences?
Xiaochen Wang, Heming Xia, Jialin Song +9
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have achieved remarkable success across various visual-language tasks. However, existing benchmarks predominantly focus on single-image understanding…
