Semantic-Structural Alignment for Generative Pictorial Charts
Zhida Sun, Yulin Zhang, Zheng Gu +4
Traditional statistical graphics are precise but often lack the visual appeal, memorability, and engagement of pictorial charts. We present a generative framework for the automated…
Cycle-Consistent Tuning for Layered Image Decomposition
Zheng Gu, Min Lu, Zhida Sun +3
Disentangling visual layers in real-world images is a persistent challenge in vision and graphics, as such layers often involve non-linear and globally coupled interactions, includ…
Iconix: Controlling Semantics and Style in Progressive Icon Grids Generation
Zhida Sun, Xiaodong Wang, Zhenyao Zhang +4
Visual communication often needs stylistically consistent icons that span concrete and abstract meanings, for use in diverse contexts. We present Iconix, a human-AI co-creative sys…
Layered Image Vectorization via Semantic Simplification
Zhenyu Wang, Jianxi Huang, Zhida Sun +3
This work presents a progressive image vectorization technique that reconstructs the raster image as layer-wise vectors from semantic-aligned macro structures to finer details. Our…
Creative Blends of Visual Concepts
Zhida Sun, Zhenyao Zhang, Yue Zhang +4
Visual blends combine elements from two distinct visual concepts into a single, integrated image, with the goal of conveying ideas through imaginative and often thought-provoking v…
