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…
Image-Space Collage and Packing with Differentiable Rendering
Zhenyu Wang, Min Lu
Collage and packing techniques are widely used to organize geometric shapes into cohesive visual representations, facilitating the representation of visual features holistically, a…
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…
