EditMGT: Unleashing Potentials of Masked Generative Transformers in Image Editing

Wei Chow, Linfeng Li, Lingdong Kong +13

Recent advances in diffusion models (DMs) have achieved exceptional visual quality in image editing tasks. However, the global denoising dynamics of DMs inherently conflate local e…
