Bitstream-corrupted video recovery aims to fill in realistic video content due to bitstream corruption during video storage or transmission. Most existing methods typically assume that the predefined masks of the corrupted regions are known in advance. However, manually annotating these masks is laborious and time-consuming, limiting the applicability of existing methods in real-world scenarios. Therefore, we expect to relax this assumption by defining a new blind video recovery setting where the recovery of corrupted regions does not rely on predefined masks. There are two significant challenges in this setting: (i) without predefined masks, how accurately can a model identify the regions requiring recovery? (ii) how to recover contents from extensive and irregular regions, especially when large portions of frames are severely degraded? To address these challenges, we introduce a Metadata-Guided Diffusion Model, dubbed M-GDM. To enable a diffusion model focusing on the corrupted regions, we leverage intrinsic video metadata as a corruption indicator and design a dual-stream metadata encoder. This encoder first embeds the motion vectors and frame types of a video separately and then merges them into a unified metadata representation. The metadata representation will interact with the corrupted latent feature through cross-attention mechanisms at each diffusion step. Meanwhile, to preserve the intact regions, we propose a prior-driven mask predictor that generates pseudo masks for the corrupted regions by leveraging the metadata prior and diffusion prior. These pseudo masks enable the separation and recombination of intact and recovered regions through hard masking. However, imperfections in pseudo mask predictions and hard masking processes often result in boundary artifacts. Thus, we introduce a post-refinement module that refines the hard-masked outputs, enhancing the consistency between intact and recovered regions. Extensive experiment results validate the effectiveness of our method and demonstrate its superiority in the blind video recovery task.

We present Articulated Kinematics Distillation (AKD), a framework for generating high-fidelity character animations by merging the strengths of skeleton-based animation and modern generative models. AKD uses a skeleton-based representation for rigged 3D assets, drastically reducing the Degrees of Freedom (DoFs) by focusing on joint-level control, which allows for efficient, consistent motion synthesis. Through Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) with pre-trained video diffusion models, AKD distills complex, articulated motions while maintaining structural integrity, overcoming challenges faced by 4D neural deformation fields in preserving shape consistency. This approach is naturally compatible with physics-based simulation, ensuring physically plausible interactions. Experiments show that AKD achieves superior 3D consistency and motion quality compared with existing works on text-to-4D generation.

Recent text-to-3D generation models have demonstrated remarkable abilities in producing high-quality 3D assets. Despite their great advancements, current models struggle to generate satisfying 3D objects with complex attributes. The difficulty for such complex attributes 3D generation arises from two aspects: (1) existing text-to-3D approaches typically lift text-to-image models to extract semantics via text encoders, while the text encoder exhibits limited comprehension ability for long descriptions, leading to deviated cross-attention focus, subsequently wrong attribute binding in generated results. (2) Objects with complex attributes often exhibit occlusion relationships between different parts, which demands a reasonable generation order as well as explicit disentanglement of different parts to enable structural coherent and attribute following results. Though some works introduce manual efforts to alleviate the above issues, their quality is unstable and highly reliant on manual information. To tackle above problems, we propose a automated method Hierarchical-Chain-of-Generation (HCoG). It leverages a large language model to analyze the long description, decomposes it into several blocks representing different object parts, and organizes an optimal generation order from in to out according to the occlusion relationship between parts, turning the whole generation process into a hierarchical chain. For optimization within each block, we first generate the necessary components coarsely, then bind their attributes precisely by target region localization and corresponding 3D Gaussian kernel optimization. For optimization between blocks, we introduce Gaussian Extension and Label Elimination to seamlessly generate new parts by extending new Gaussian kernels, re-assigning semantic labels, and eliminating unnecessary kernels, ensuring that only relevant parts are added without disrupting previously optimized parts. Experiments validate HCoG's effectiveness in handling complex attributes 3D assets and witnesses high-quality results. The code is available at https://github.com/Wakals/GASCOL.

Despite recent advancements in learning-based motion in-betweening, a key limitation has been overlooked: the requirement for character-specific datasets. In this work, we introduce AnyMoLe, a novel method that addresses this limitation by leveraging video diffusion models to generate motion in-between frames for arbitrary characters without external data. Our approach employs a two-stage frame generation process to enhance contextual understanding. Furthermore, to bridge the domain gap between real-world and rendered character animations, we introduce ICAdapt, a fine-tuning technique for video diffusion models. Additionally, we propose a "motion-video mimicking" optimization technique, enabling seamless motion generation for characters with arbitrary joint structures using 2D and 3D-aware features. AnyMoLe significantly reduces data dependency while generating smooth and realistic transitions, making it applicable to a wide range of motion in-betweening tasks.

We propose a unified approach for video-controlled generation, enabling text-based guidance and manual annotations to control the generation of videos, similar to camera direction guidance. Specifically, we designed a two-stage algorithm. In the first stage, we convert all control information into frame-by-frame motion flows. In the second stage, we use these motion flows as guidance to control the final video generation. Additionally, to reduce instability in the generated videos caused by large motion variations (such as those from camera movement, object motion, or manual inputs), which can result in flickering or the intermittent disappearance of objects, we transform the temporal feature computation in the video model into frequency-domain feature computation. This is because frequency-domain signals better capture the essential characteristics of an image, and by ensuring consistency in the video's frequency-domain features, we can enhance temporal coherence and reduce flickering in the final generated video.

Text-driven motion generation has made significant strides in recent years. However, most existing works focus on human motion, largely overlooking the rich and diverse behaviors of animals. Understanding and synthesizing animal motion have important applications in wildlife conservation, animal ecology, and biomechanics. Animal motion modeling presents unique challenges due to species diversity, varied morphological structures, and different behavioral patterns in response to similar textual descriptions. To address these challenges, we propose AniMo for text-driven animal motion generation. AniMo consists of two stages: motion tokenization and text-to-motion generation. In the motion tokenization stage, we encode motions using a joint-aware spatiotemporal encoder with species-aware feature modulation, enabling the model to adapt to diverse skeletal structures across species. In the text-to-motion generation stage, we employ masked modeling to jointly learn the mappings between textual descriptions and motion tokens. Additionally, we introduce AniMo4D, a large-scale dataset containing 78,149 motion sequences and 185,435 textual descriptions across 114 animal species. Experimental results show that AniMo achieves superior performance on both the AniMo4D and AnimalML3D datasets, effectively capturing diverse morphological structures and behavioral patterns across animal species.

Diffusion-based Text-to-Image (T2I) models have demonstrated significant potential in image restoration. However, existing models continue to grapple with challenges such as complex training and prompt design. We introduce a new perspective for improving image restoration by injecting knowledge from pretrained vision-language models into current T2I models. We empirically show that the degradation and content representations in BLIP-2 can be linearly separated, providing promising degradation guidance for image restoration. Specifically, the Feature Difference Instruction (FDI) is first extracted by Q-Formers through a simple subtraction operation based on reference image pairs. Then, we propose a multi-scale FDI adapter to decouple the degradation style and corrupted artifacts, and inject the styleflow exclusively into specific blocks through adapter-tuning, thereby preventing noise interference and eschewing the need for cumbersome weight retraining. In this way, we can train various task-specific adapters according to different degradations, achieving rich detail enhancement in the restoration results. Furthermore, the proposed FDI adapters have attractive properties of practical value, such as composability and generalization ability for all-in-one and mixed-degradation restoration. Extensive experiments under various settings demonstrate that our method has promising repairing quality over 10 image restoration tasks and a wide range of other applications.

The advancements in large language models (LLMs) have propelled the improvement of video understanding tasks by incorporating LLMs with visual models. However, most existing LLM-based models (e.g., VideoLLaMA, VideoChat) are constrained to processing short-duration videos. Recent attempts to understand long-term videos by extracting and compressing visual features into a fixed memory size. Nevertheless, those methods leverage only visual modality to merge video tokens and overlook the correlation between visual and textual queries, leading to difficulties in effectively handling complex question-answering tasks. To address the challenges of long videos and complex prompts, we propose AdaCM^2, which, for the first time, introduces an adaptive cross-modality memory reduction approach to video-text alignment in an auto-regressive manner on video streams. Our extensive experiments on various video understanding tasks, such as video captioning, video question answering, and video classification, demonstrate that AdaCM^2 achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple datasets while significantly reducing memory usage. Notably, it achieves a 4.5% improvement across multiple tasks in the LVU dataset with a GPU memory consumption reduction of up to 65%.

Recently, text-to-motion models open new possibilities for creating realistic human motion with greater efficiency and flexibility. However, aligning motion generation with event-level textual descriptions presents unique challenges due to the complex, nuanced relationship between textual prompts and desired motion outcomes. To address this issue, we introduce AToM, a framework that enhances the alignment between generated motion and text prompts by leveraging reward from GPT-4Vision. AToM comprises three main stages: Firstly, we construct a dataset MotionPrefer that pairs three types of event-level textual prompts with generated motions, which cover the integrity, temporal relationship and the frequency of motion. Secondly, we design a paradigm that utilizes GPT-4Vision for detailed motion annotation, including visual data formatting, task-specific instructions and scoring rules for each sub-task. Finally, we fine-tune an existing text-to-motion model using reinforcement learning guided by this paradigm. Experimental results demonstrate that AToM significantly improves the event-level alignment quality of text-to-motion generation.

The task of video generation requires synthesizing visually realistic and temporally coherent video frames. Existing methods primarily use asynchronous auto-regressive models or synchronous diffusion models to address this challenge. However, asynchronous auto-regressive models often suffer from inconsistencies between training and inference, leading to issues such as error accumulation, while synchronous diffusion models are limited by their reliance on rigid sequence length. To address these issues, we introduce Auto-Regressive Diffusion (AR-Diffusion), a novel model that combines the strengths of auto-regressive and diffusion models for flexible, asynchronous video generation. Specifically, our approach leverages diffusion to gradually corrupt video frames in both training and inference, reducing the discrepancy between these phases. Inspired by auto-regressive generation, we incorporate a non-decreasing constraint on the corruption timesteps of individual frames, ensuring that earlier frames remain clearer than subsequent ones. This setup, together with temporal causal attention, enables flexible generation of videos with varying lengths while preserving temporal coherence. In addition, we design two specialized timestep schedulers: the FoPP scheduler for balanced timestep sampling during training, and the AD scheduler for flexible timestep differences during inference, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method, by achieving competitive and state-of-the-art results across four challenging benchmarks.

Achieving precise alignment between textual instructions and generated images in text-to-image generation is a significant challenge, particularly in rendering written text within images. Open-source models like Stable Diffusion 3 (SD3), Flux, and AuraFlow often struggle with accurate text depiction, resulting in misspelled or inconsistent text. We introduce a training-free method with minimal computational overhead that significantly enhances text rendering quality. Specifically, we introduce an overshooting sampler for a pretrained RF model, by alternating between over-simulating the learned ordinary differential equation (ODE) and reintroducing noise. Compared to the Euler sampler, the overshooting sampler effectively introduces an extra Langevin dynamics term that can help correct the compounding error from successive Euler steps and therefore improve the text rendering. However, when the overshooting strength is high, we observe over-smoothing artifacts on the generated images. To address this issue, we adaptively control the strength of the overshooting for each image patch according to their attention score with the text content. We name the proposed sampler Attention Modulated Overshooting sampler (AMO). AMO demonstrates a 32.3% and 35.9% improvement in text rendering accuracy on SD3 and Flux without compromising overall image quality or increasing inference cost.

Recent advances in text-conditioned video diffusion have greatly improved video quality. However, these methods offer limited or sometimes no control to users on camera aspects, including dynamic camera motion, zoom, distorted lens and focus shifts. These motion and optical aspects are crucial for adding controllability and cinematic elements to generation frameworks, ultimately resulting in visual content that draws focus, enhances mood, and guides emotions according to filmmakers' controls. In this paper, we aim to close the gap between controllable video generation and camera optics. To achieve this, we propose AKiRa (Augmentation Kit on Rays), a novel augmentation framework that builds and trains a camera adapter with a complex camera model over an existing video generation backbone. It enables fine-tuned control over camera motion as well as complex optical parameters (focal length, distortion, aperture) to achieve cinematic effects such as zoom, fisheye effect, and bokeh. Extensive experiments demonstrate AKiRa's effectiveness in combining and composing camera optics while outperforming all state-of-the-art methods. This work sets a new landmark in controlled and optically enhanced video generation, paving the way for future camera diffusion methods.

The rapid advancement of large multimodal models (LMMs) has led to the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence generated videos (AIGVs), which highlights the pressing need for effective video quality assessment (VQA) models designed specifically for AIGVs. Current VQA models generally fall short in accurately assessing the perceptual quality of AIGVs due to the presence of unique distortions, such as unrealistic objects, unnatural movements, or inconsistent visual elements. To address this challenge, we first present AIGVQA-DB, a large-scale dataset comprising 36,576 AIGVs generated by 15 advanced text-to-video models using 1,048 diverse prompts. With these AIGVs, a systematic annotation pipeline including scoring and ranking processes is devised, which collects 370k expert ratings to date. Based on AIGVQA-DB, we further introduce AIGV-Assessor, a novel VQA model that leverages spatiotemporal features and LMM frameworks to capture the intricate quality attributes of AIGVs, thereby accurately predicting precise video quality scores and video pair preferences. Through comprehensive experiments on both AIGVQA-DB and existing AIGV databases, AIGV-Assessor demonstrates state-of-the-art performance, significantly surpassing existing scoring or evaluation methods in terms of multiple perceptual quality dimensions. The dataset and code are released at https://github.com/IntMeGroup/AIGV-Assessor.

We propose 4Real-Video, a novel framework for generating 4D videos, organized as a grid of video frames with both time and viewpoint axes. In this grid, each row contains frames sharing the same timestep, while each column contains frames from the same viewpoint. One stream performs viewpoint updates on columns, and the other stream performs temporal updates on rows. After each diffusion transformer layer, a newly designed synchronization layer exchanges information between the two token streams. We propose two implementations of the synchronization layer, using either hard or soft synchronization.This feedforward architecture improves upon previous work in three ways: higher inference speed, enhanced visual quality (measured by FVD, CLIP, and VideoScore), and improved temporal and viewpoint consistency (measured by VideoScore, GIM-Confidence, and Dust3R-Confidence).
