Flowception: Temporally Expansive Flow Matching for Video Generation

Tariq Berrada Ifriqi, John Nguyen, Karteek Alahari, Jakob Verbeek, Ricky T. Q. Chen

展开摘要

We present Flowception, a novel non-autoregressive and variable-length video generation framework. Flowception learns a probability path that interleaves discrete frame insertions with continuous frame denoising. Compared to autoregressive methods, Flowception alleviates error accumulation/drift as the frame insertion mechanism during sampling serves as an efficient compression mechanism to handle long-term context. Compared to full-sequence flows, our method reduces FLOPs for training three-fold, while also being more amenable to local attention variants, and allowing to learn the length of videos jointly with their content. Quantitative experimental results show improved FVD and VBench metrics over autoregressive and full-sequence baselines, which is further validated with qualitative results. Finally, by learning to insert and denoise frames in a sequence, Flowception seamlessly integrates different tasks such as image-to-video generation and video interpolation.

Are We Ready for RL in Text-to-3D Generation? A Progressive Investigation

Yiwen Tang, Zoey Guo, Kaixin Zhu, Ray Zhang, Qizhi Chen, Dongzhi Jiang, Junli Liu, Bohan Zeng, Haoming Song, Delin Qu, Tianyi Bai, Dan Xu, Wentao Zhang, Bin Zhao

展开摘要

Reinforcement learning (RL), earlier proven to be effective in large language and multi-modal models, has been successfully extended to enhance 2D image generation recently. However, applying RL to 3D generation remains largely unexplored due to the higher spatial complexity of 3D objects, which require globally consistent geometry and fine-grained local textures. This makes 3D generation significantly sensitive to reward designs and RL algorithms. To address these challenges, we conduct the first systematic study of RL for text-to-3D autoregressive generation across several dimensions. (1) Reward designs: We evaluate reward dimensions and model choices, showing that alignment with human preference is crucial, and that general multi-modal models provide robust signal for 3D attributes. (2) RL algorithms: We study GRPO variants, highlighting the effectiveness of token-level optimization, and further investigate the scaling of training data and iterations. (3) Text-to-3D Benchmarks: Since existing benchmarks fail to measure implicit reasoning abilities in 3D generation models, we introduce MME-3DR. (4) Advanced RL paradigms: Motivated by the natural hierarchy of 3D generation, we propose Hi-GRPO, which optimizes the global-to-local hierarchical 3D generation through dedicated reward ensembles. Based on these insights, we develop AR3D-R1, the first RL-enhanced text-to-3D model, expert from coarse shape to texture refinement. We hope this study provides insights into RL-driven reasoning for 3D generation. The code is released at https://github.com/Ivan-Tang-3D/3DGen-R1.

Ke Xing, Longfei Li, Yuyang Yin, HANWEN LIANG, Guixun Luo, Chen Fang, Jue Wang, Konstantinos N. Plataniotis, Xiaojie Jin, Yao Zhao, Yunchao Wei

展开摘要

The growing adoption of XR devices has fueled strong demand for high-quality stereo video, yet its production remains costly and artifact-prone.To address this challenge, we present **StereoWorld**, an **end-to-end framework** that repurposes a pretrained video generator for high-fidelity monocular-to-stereo video generation. Our framework jointly conditions the model on the monocular video input while explicitly supervising the generation with a **geometry-aware regularization** to ensure 3D structural fidelity.A spatio-temporal tiling scheme is further integrated to enable efficient, high-resolution synthesis.To enable large-scale training and evaluation, we curate a **high-definition stereo video dataset** containing over 11M frames aligned to natural human interpupillary distance (IPD).Extensive experiments demonstrate that StereoWorld substantially outperforms prior methods, generating stereo videos with superior visual fidelity and geometric consistency.

CTCal: Rethinking Text-to-Image Diffusion Models via Cross-Timestep Self-Calibration

Xiefan Guo, Xinzhu Ma, Haiyu Zhang, Di Huang

展开摘要

Recent advancements in text-to-image synthesis have been largely propelled by diffusion-based models, yet achieving precise alignment between text prompts and generated images remains a persistent challenge. We find that this difficulty arises primarily from the limitations of conventional diffusion loss, which provides only implicit supervision for modeling fine-grained text-image correspondence. In this paper, we introduce Cross-Timestep Self-Calibration (CTCal), founded on the supporting observation that establishing accurate text-image alignment within diffusion models becomes progressively more difficult as the timestep increases. CTCal leverages the reliable text-image alignment (i.e., cross-attention maps) formed at smaller timesteps with less noise to calibrate the representation learning at larger timesteps with more noise, thereby providing explicit supervision during training. We further propose a timestep-aware adaptive weighting to achieve a harmonious integration of CTCal and diffusion loss. CTCal is model-agnostic and can be seamlessly integrated into existing text-to-image diffusion models, encompassing both diffusion-based (e.g., SD 2.1) and flow-based approaches (e.g., SD 3). Extensive experiments on T2I-Compbench++ and GenEval benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed CTCal. Our code is available at https://github.com/xiefan-guo/ctcal.

Towards Highly-Constrained Human Motion Generation with Retrieval-Guided Diffusion Noise Optimization

Hanchao Liu, Fang-Lue Zhang, Shining Zhang, Tai-Jiang Mu, Shi-Min Hu

展开摘要

Generating human motion that satisfies customized zero-shot goal functions, enabling applications such as controllable character animation and behavior synthesis for virtual agents, is a critical capability. While current approaches handle many unseen constraints, they fail on tasks with very challenging spatiotemporal restrictions, such as severe spatial obstacles or specified numbers of walking steps. To equip motion generators for these highly constrained tasks, we present a retrieval-guided method built on the training-free diffusion noise optimization framework. The key idea is to search within large motion datasets for guidance that can potentially satisfy difficult constraints. We introduce relational task parsing to group target constraints and identify the difficult ones to be handled by retrieved reference. A better initialization for diffusion noise is then obtained via a reward-guided mask that combines random noise with retrieved noise. By optimizing diffusion noise from this improved initialization, we successfully solve highly constrained generation tasks. By leveraging LLM for relational task parsing, the whole framework is further enabled to automatically reason for what to retrieve, improving the intelligence of moving agents under a training-free optimization scheme.

LumiX: Structured and Coherent Text-to-Intrinsic Generation

XU HAN, Biao Zhang, Xiangjun Tang, Xianzhi Li, Peter Wonka

展开摘要

We present LumiX, a structured diffusion framework for coherent text-to-intrinsic generation. Conditioned on text prompts, LumiX jointly generates a comprehensive set of intrinsic maps (e.g., albedo, irradiance, normal, depth, and final color), providing a structured and physically consistent description of an underlying scene. This is enabled by two key contributions: 1) Query-Broadcast Attention, a mechanism that ensures structural consistency by sharing queries across all maps in each self-attention block. 2) Tensor LoRA, a tensor-based adaptation that parameter-efficiently models cross-map relations for efficient joint training. Together, these designs enable stable joint diffusion training and unified generation of multiple intrinsic properties. Experiments show that LumiX produces coherent and physically meaningful results, achieving 23% higher alignment and a better preference score (0.19 vs. -0.41) compared to the state of the art, and it can also perform image-conditioned intrinsic decomposition within the same framework.

Breaking the 3D Dataset Bottleneck: Fast Scalable Generation of Aligned 3D Assets from Scratch for Category 6D Pose Estimation and Robotic Grasping

Duret Guillaume, Danylo Mazurak, Florence Zara, Jan Peters, Liming Chen

展开摘要

While 2D vision has been revolutionized by large-scale datasets like ImageNet, 3D vision remains constrained by the scarcity of high-quality, canonically aligned data. We introduce the first scalable, automated framework that generates complete category-level 6D pose datasets directly from text prompts, bypassing the need for existing 3D assets. Our method overcomes key challenges by: (1) ensuring reliable, scalable asset generation via a controlled text-to-image-to-3D pipeline; (2) enforcing built-in canonical alignment through depth-conditioned generation, achieving a 96% pose consistency rate; and (3) enabling large-scale 6D annotation via mixed reality rendering. The pipeline produces high-quality, aligned 3D meshes in under 3 minutes per object--a 5-20x speedup over traditional scanning. We generate over 1,000 instances for each of the 153 categories in the Omni6Dpose benchmark, culminating in 153,000 aligned meshes--a >40x increase in instances per category over previous aligned real-world datasets. Extensive evaluation demonstrates competitive zero-shot sim2real transfer on the NOCS 6D pose benchmark and superior robotic grasping performance in both simulation and real-world zero-shot transfer, where aligned meshes prove essential for success. We release the largest publicly available aligned 3D mesh dataset, largest category-level 6D pose dataset, grasping simulation environments, and open-source pipeline, providing a critical step toward foundation models for 3D understanding and enabling efficient, unlimited generation of task-specific 3D data from scratch.

AnyDoc: Enhancing Document Generation via Large-Scale HTML/CSS Data Synthesis and Height-Aware Reinforcement Optimization

Jiawei Lin, Wanrong Zhu, Vlad I Morariu, Christopher Tensmeyer

展开摘要

Document generation has gained growing attention in the field of AI-driven content creation. In this work, we push its boundaries by introducing AnyDoc, a framework capable of handling multiple generation tasks across a wide spectrum of document categories, all represented in a unified HTML/CSS format. To overcome the limited coverage and scale of existing human-crafted document datasets, AnyDoc first establishes a scalable data synthesis pipeline to automatically generate documents in HTML/CSS form. This pipeline yields DocHTML, a large-scale dataset containing 265,206 document samples, while spanning 111 categories and 32 distinct styles. Additionally, all documents are equipped with comprehensive metadata, including design intentions, HTML/CSS source code, visual assets, and rendered screenshots. Building on the curated dataset, AnyDoc fine-tunes multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) to achieve three practical document generation tasks: intention-to-document, document derendering, and element-to-document. To address the content overflow issue observed during fine-tuning, AnyDoc further incorporates a height-aware reinforcement learning (HARL) post-training procedure. By defining a reward function based on the difference between predicted and target document heights, overflow is penalized and gradually mitigated during HARL, thereby enhancing overall performance. Qualitative and quantitative experiments demonstrate that AnyDoc outperforms both general-purpose MLLMs and task-specific baselines across all three tasks.

Neurodynamics-Driven Coupled Neural P Systems for Multi-Focus Image Fusion

Bo Li, Yunkuo Lei, Tingting Bao, Hang Yan, Yaxian Wang, Weiping Fu, Lingling Zhang, Jun Liu

展开摘要

Multi-focus image fusion (MFIF) is a crucial technique in image processing, with a key challenge being the generation of decision maps with precise boundaries. However, traditional methods based on heuristic rules and deep learning methods with black-box networks are difficult to generate high-quality decision maps. To overcome this challenge, we introduce neurodynamics-driven coupled neural P (CNP) systems, which are biological neural computation models inspired by spiking mechanisms, to enhance the accuracy of decision maps. Specifically, we first conduct an in-depth analysis of the model's neurodynamics to identify the constraints between the network parameters and the input signals. This solid analysis avoids abnormal continuous firing of neurons and ensures the model accurately distinguishes between focused and unfocused regions, generating high-quality decision maps for MFIF. Based on this analysis, we propose a Neurodynamics-Driven CNP Fusion model (ND-CNPFuse) tailored for the challenging MFIF task. Unlike current ideas of decision map generation, ND-CNPFuse distinguishes between focused and unfocused regions by mapping the source image into interpretable spike matrices. By comparing the number of spikes, an accurate decision map can be generated directly without any post-processing. Extensive experimental results show that ND-CNPFuse achieves new state-of-the-art performance on four classical MFIF datasets, including Lytro, MFFW, MFI-WHU, and Real-MFF. The code is available at https://github.com/MorvanLi/ND-CNPFuse.

4DWorldBench: A Comprehensive Evaluation Framework for 3D/4D World Generation Models

Yiting Lu, Wei Luo, Peiyan Tu, Haoran Li, Hanxin Zhu, Zihao Yu, Xingrui Wang, Xinyi Chen, Xinge Peng, Xin Li, Zhibo Chen

展开摘要

World Generation Models are emerging as a cornerstone of next-generation multimodal intelligence systems. Unlike traditional 2D visual generation, World Models aim to construct realistic, dynamic, and physically consistent 3D/4D worlds from images, videos, or text. These models not only need to produce high-fidelity visual content but also maintain coherence across space, time, physics, and instruction control, enabling applications in virtual reality, autonomous driving, Embodied Intelligence, and content creation.However, prior benchmarks, however, each emphasize different evaluation dimensions and lack a unified assessment of world-realism capability.To systematically evaluate World Models, we introduce the 4DWorldBench, which measures models across four key dimensions: Perceptual Quality, Condition-4D Alignment, Physical Realism, and 4D Consistency. The benchmark covers tasks such as Image-to-3D/4D, Video-to-4D, Text-to-3D/4D. Beyond these, we innovatively introduce adaptive conditioning across multiple modalities, which not only integrates but also extends traditional evaluation paradigms. To accommodate different modality-conditioned inputs, we map all modality conditions into a unified textual space during evaluation, and further integrate LLM-as-judge, MLLM-as-judge, and traditional network-based methods. This unified and adaptive design enables more comprehensive and consistent evaluation of alignment, physical Realism, and cross-modal coherence.Preliminary human studies further demonstrate that our adaptive tool selection achieves closer agreement with subjective human judgments.We hope this benchmark will serve as a foundation for objective comparisons and improvements, accelerating the transition from "visual generation" to "world generation."

SGI: Structured 2D Gaussians for Efficient and Compact Large Image Representation

Zixuan Pan, Kaiyuan Tang, Jun Xia, Yifan Qin, Lin Gu, Chaoli Wang, Jianxu Chen, Yiyu Shi

展开摘要

2D Gaussian Splatting has emerged as a novel image representation technique that can support efficient rendering on low-end devices. However, scaling to high-resolution images requires optimizing and storing millions of unstructured Gaussian primitives independently, leading to slow convergence and redundant parameters. To address this, we propose Structured Gaussian Image (SGI), a compact and efficient framework for representing high-resolution images. SGI decomposes a complex image into multi-scale local spaces defined by a set of seeds. Each seed corresponds to a spatially coherent region and, together with lightweight multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), generates structured implicit 2D neural Gaussians. This seed-based formulation imposes structural regularity on otherwise unstructured Gaussian primitives, which facilitates entropy-based compression at the seed level to reduce the total storage. However, optimizing seed parameters directly on high-resolution images is a challenging and non-trivial task. Therefore, we designed a multi-scale fitting strategy that refines the seed representation in a coarse-to-fine manner, substantially accelerating convergence. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations demonstrate that SGI achieves up to 7.5xcompression over prior non-quantized 2D Gaussian methods and 1.6xover quantized ones, while also delivering 1.6xand 6.5xfaster optimization, respectively, without degrading, and often improving, image fidelity. Code is available at https://github.com/zx-pan/SGI.

Bridging the Modality Gap in Compositional Zero-Shot Learning via Sparse Alignment and Unimodal Memory Bank

Yang Zhang, Zhixiang Chi, Xudong Yan, Yang Wang, Songhe Feng

展开摘要

Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (CZSL) aims to recognize unseen attribute-object compositions with learned primitives (attribute and object) knowledge from seen compositions. While previous approaches gain their notable performance through the powerful cross-modal alignment of CLIP, they often overlook the modality gap, an inherent constraint stemming from information-imbalanced training data. In this work, we propose SAM, a novel \underline \text S parse \underline \text A lignment and Unimoal \underline \text M emory Bank to effectively bridging modality gap for CZSL. Specifically, we conduct sparse alignment that links textual representations directly to their semantically pertinent visual patches. This direct linking serves to prune redundant visual data and counter the information imbalance in image-text pairs. Subsequently, with the sparsely aligned visual information as its guidance, the visual adaptive condensation module adaptively fuses these critical cues into a unified representation. Finally, we introduce a dynamically updated memory bank that stores samples from both seen and unseen compositions. This bank serves a dual purpose: it bypasses the modality gap through visual-only classification and concurrently strengthens generalization to unseen compositions. Experiments on three benchmarks demonstrate that our method gains significant improvements over CLIP-based methods under closed-world and open-world settings.

Adapting Lightweight Image-based Counting Models for Video Crowd Counting

Weibo Shu, Antoni B. Chan

展开摘要

Video crowd counting aims to predict the people count in each frame of a video. It requires effectively leveraging spatio-temporal (ST) information in videos while satisfying real-time constraints. However, most existing methods use ST information from neighboring frames through auxiliary extraction and fusion modules---resulting in large computational cost and the need to buffer multiple frames during inference. Such designs limit their practicality in real-world applications with limited computational resources or stringent real-time requirements. To address these issues, we revisit video crowd counting from the perspective of lightweight image-based counting models that enable real-time deployment under limited resources. We analytically define ST information in a model-independent and statistically interpretable manner, and incorporate it into training via a statistical regularizer that effectively enhances model performance without adding modules or inference overhead. Most framework hyperparameters are further formulated as statistical inference problems, allowing automatic estimation from data and consequently efficient adaptation to new scenarios.Our framework unifies video crowd counting and image-based counting models under a compact, principled formulation that is lightweight, portable, and efficient. We also establish theoretical foundations for adapting image-based counting models to video crowd counting and achieve state-of-the-art accuracy and efficiency across six benchmarks, including challenging DRONECROWD and VSCROWD.

Unified Multimodal Models as Auto-Encoders

Zhiyuan Yan, Kaiqing Lin, Zongjian Li, Junyan Ye, Hui Han, Haochen Wang, Zhendong Wang, Bin Lin, Hao Li, Xinyan Xiao, Jingdong Wang, Haifeng Wang, Li Yuan

展开摘要

Image-to-text (I2T) understanding and text-to-image (T2I) generation are two fundamental, important yet traditionally isolated multimodal tasks. Despite their intrinsic connection, existing approaches typically optimize them independently, missing the opportunity for mutual enhancement. In this paper, we argue that the both tasks can be connected under a shared Auto-Encoder perspective, where text serves as the intermediate latent representation bridging the two directions - encoding images into textual semantics (I2T) and decoding text back into images (T2I). Our key insight is that if the encoder truly "understands" the image, it should capture all essential structure, and if the decoder truly "understands" the text, it should recover that structure faithfully. Building upon this principle, we propose Unified-GRPO, a post-training method based on reinforcement learning that jointly optimizes both modules through reconstructive rewards, maximizing the semantic consistency between the input and the generated images. Under this reconstruction objective, the encoder is encouraged to extract as much accurate and comprehensive semantic information from the input image to maximize reconstruction quality, while the decoder is simultaneously optimized to generate conditioned on the encoder's prior, enabling a self-evolving improvement. Empirically, we find that using text as the intermediate representation and training under a reconstructive RL paradigm effectively benefits both I2T and T2I. The I2T module gains stronger fine-grained visual perception, such as small-object recognition, grounding, etc, while its dense embeddings and language priors, in turn, provide richer semantic signals that improve T2I fidelity and complex instruction following. These results demonstrate that the reconstructive RL establishes a mutually reinforcing cross-modal synergy within the auto-encoding framework.

RDF-MIG: A Robust Diffusion Framework for Masked Image Generation to Augment Semantic Segmentation and Change Detection

Zian Cao, Wei Wei, Qingshan Gao, Yuanyuan Fu

展开摘要

Change detection and semantic segmentation are key techniques for satellite image analysis in remote sensing. However, acquiring high-quality labeled data is costly and time-consuming. Although recent studies have explored generative models to ease data scarcity, a unified framework supporting both tasks is still lacking, and most methods overlook noise accumulation and cannot generate multispectral images. To address this, we propose the robust diffusion framework for masked image generation (RDF-MIG). RDF-MIG generates bi-temporal change-labeled and single-temporal segmentation-labeled images to enhance downstream change detection and semantic segmentation tasks. Furthermore, to address noise accumulation and improve the quality of generated image-mask pairs, we reformulate the diffusion model training objective by proposing the Maximum Correntropy Robust Diffusion (MCRD) loss, and further design an MSE-consistency calibration that analytically aligns small-error gradients with the MSE objective while preserving robustness to outliers. Experiments indicate that the proposed RDF-MIG framework can generate multispectral image-mask pairs to improve downstream performance, while MCRD loss further enhances the quality of the synthesized data.

One Algorithm to Align Them All

Boyi Pang, Savva Ignatyev, Vladimir Ippolitov, Ramil Khafizov, Yurii Melnik, Oleg Voynov, Maksim Nakhodnov, Aibek Alanov, Xiaopeng Fan, Peter Wonka, Evgeny Burnaev

展开摘要

We suggest a new multi-modal algorithm for joint inference of paired structurally aligned samples with Rectified Flow models. While some existing methods propose a codependent generation process, they do not view the problem of joint generation from a structural alignment perspective. Recent work uses Score Distillation Sampling to generate aligned 3D models, but SDS is known to be time-consuming, prone to mode collapse, and often provides cartoonish results. By contrast, our suggested approach relies on the joint transport of a segment in the sample space, yielding faster computation at inference time. Our approach can be built on top of an arbitrary Rectified Flow model operating on the structured latent space. We show the applicability of our method to the domains of image, video, and 3D shape generation using state-of-the-art baselines and evaluate it against both editing-based and joint inference-based competing approaches. We demonstrate a high degree of structural alignment for the sample pairs obtained with our method and a high visual quality of the samples. Our method improves the state-of-the-art for image and video generation pipelines. For 3D generation, it is able to show comparable quality while working orders of magnitude faster.

Hyperbolic Busemann Neural Networks

Ziheng Chen, Bernhard Scholkopf, Nicu Sebe

展开摘要

Hyperbolic spaces provide a natural geometry for representing hierarchical and tree-structured data due to their exponential volume growth. To leverage these benefits, neural networks require intrinsic and efficient components that operate directly in hyperbolic space. In this work, we lift two core components of neural networks, Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR) and Fully Connected (FC) layers, into hyperbolic space via Busemann functions, resulting in Busemann MLR (BMLR) and Busemann FC (BFC) layers with a unified mathematical interpretation. BMLR provides compact parameters, a point-to-horosphere distance interpretation, batch-efficient computation, and a Euclidean limit, while BFC generalizes FC and activation layers with comparable complexity. Experiments on image classification, genome sequence learning, node classification, and link prediction demonstrate improvements in effectiveness and efficiency over prior hyperbolic layers. The code is available at https://github.com/GitZH-Chen/HBNN.

Bridging Fidelity-Reality with Controllable One-Step Diffusion for Image Super-Resolution

Hao Chen, Junyang Chen, Jinshan Pan, Jiangxin Dong

展开摘要

Recent diffusion-based one-step methods have shown remarkable progress in the field of image super-resolution, yet they remain constrained by three critical limitations: (1) inferior fidelity performance caused by the information loss from compression encoding of low-quality (LQ) inputs; (2) insufficient region-discriminative activation of generative priors; (3) misalignment between text prompts and their corresponding semantic regions. To address these limitations, we propose CODSR, a controllable one-step diffusion network for image super-resolution. First, we propose an LQ-guided feature modulation module that leverages original uncompressed information from LQ inputs to provide high-fidelity conditioning for the diffusion process. We then develop a region-adaptive generative prior activation method to effectively enhance perceptual richness without sacrificing local structural fidelity. Finally, we employ a text-matching guidance strategy to fully harness the conditioning potential of text prompts. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CODSR achieves superior perceptual quality and competitive fidelity compared with state-of-the-art methods while maintaining efficient one-step inference.

VVS: Accelerating Speculative Decoding for Visual Autoregressive Generation via Partial Verification Skipping

Haotian Dong, Ye Li, Rongwei Lu, Chen Tang, Shu-Tao Xia, Zhi Wang

展开摘要

Visual autoregressive (AR) generation models have demonstrated strong potential for image generation, yet their next-token-prediction paradigm introduces considerable inference latency. Although speculative decoding (SD) has been proven effective for accelerating visual AR models, its "draft one step, then verify one step" paradigm prevents a direct reduction in the number of forward passes, limiting its acceleration potential. Motivated by the interchangeability of visual tokens, we explore verification skipping in the SD process for the first time to explicitly cut the number of target model forward passes, thereby reducing inference latency. By analyzing the characteristics of the drafting stage, we observe that verification redundancy and stale feature reusability are key factors to maintain generation quality while improving speed for verification-free steps. Inspired by these two observations, we propose a novel SD framework VVS to accelerate \underline \text v isual AR model via partial \underline \text v erification \underline \text s kipping, which integrates three complementary modules: (1) a verification-free token selector with dynamically truncation, (2) token level feature caching and reuse, and (3) fine-grained skipped step scheduling. Consequently, VVS reduces the number of target model forward passes by 2.8x relative to vanilla AR decoding while maintaining competitive generation quality, offering a superior speed-quality trade-off over conventional SD frameworks and revealing strong potential to reshape the SD paradigm. Our code is available at https://github.com/HyattDD/VVS.

DeCo: Frequency-Decoupled Pixel Diffusion for End-to-End Image Generation

Zehong Ma, Longhui Wei, Shuai Wang, Shiliang Zhang, Qi Tian

展开摘要

Pixel diffusion aims to generate images directly in pixel space in an end-to-end fashion. This approach avoids the limitations of VAE in the two-stage latent diffusion, offering higher model capacity. Existing pixel diffusion models suffer from slow training and inference, as they usually model both high-frequency signals and low-frequency semantics within a single diffusion transformer (DiT). To pursue a more efficient pixel diffusion paradigm, we propose the frequency-**DeCo**upled pixel diffusion framework. With the intuition to decouple the generation of high and low frequency components, we leverage a lightweight pixel decoder to generate high-frequency details conditioned on semantic guidance from the DiT. This thus frees the DiT to specialize in modeling low-frequency semantics. In addition, we introduce a frequency-aware flow-matching loss that emphasizes visually salient frequencies while suppressing insignificant ones. Extensive experiments show that DeCo achieves superior performance among pixel diffusion models, attaining FID of **1.62** (256x256) and **2.22** (512x512) on ImageNet, closing the gap with latent diffusion methods. Furthermore, our pretrained text-to-image model achieves a leading overall score of 0.86 on GenEval in system-level comparison.
