With the rapid progress in diffusion models, image synthesis has advanced to the stage of zero-shot image-to-image generation, where high-fidelity replication of facial identities or artistic styles can be achieved using just one portrait or artwork, without modifying any model weights. Although these techniques significantly enhance creative possibilities, they also pose substantial risks related to intellectual property violations, including unauthorized identity cloning and stylistic imitation. To counter such threats, this work presents Adapter Shield, the first universal and authentication-integrated solution aimed at defending personal images from misuse in zero-shot generation scenarios. We first investigate how current zero-shot methods employ image encoders to extract embeddings from input images, which are subsequently fed into the UNet of diffusion models through cross-attention layers. Inspired by this mechanism, we construct a reversible encryption system that maps original embeddings into distinct encrypted representations according to different secret keys. The authorized users can restore the authentic embeddings via a decryption module and the correct key, enabling normal usage for authorized generation tasks. For protection purposes, we design a multi-target adversarial perturbation method that actively shifts the original embeddings toward designated encrypted patterns. Consequently, protected images are embedded with a defensive layer that ensures unauthorized users can only produce distorted or encrypted outputs. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that our method surpasses existing state-of-the-art defenses in blocking unauthorized zero-shot image synthesis, while supporting flexible and secure access control for verified users.

Document image dewarping remains a challenging task in the deep learning era. While existing methods have improved by leveraging text line awareness, they typically focus only on a single horizontal dimension. In this paper, we propose a fine-grained deformation perception model that focuses on Dual Dimensions of document horizontal-vertical-lines to improve document Dewarping called D2Dewarp. It can perceive distortion trends in different directions across document details. To combine the horizontal and vertical granularity features, an effective fusion module based on X and Y coordinate is designed to facilitate interaction and constraint between the two dimensions for feature complementarity. Due to the lack of annotated line features in current public dewarping datasets, we also propose an automatic fine-grained annotation method using public document texture images and automatic rendering engine to build a new large-scale distortion training dataset named DocDewarpHV. The code and dataset will be publicly released. On three public Chinese and English benchmarks, both quantitative and qualitative results show that our method achieves better rectification results compared with the state-of-the-art methods. The code and dataset are available at https://github.com/xiaomore/D2Dewarp.

Instruction-based image editing with diffusion models has achieved impressive results, yet existing methods struggle with fine-grained instructions specifying precise attributes such as colors, positions, and quantities. While recent approaches employ Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) for alignment, they optimize only at individual sampling steps, providing sparse feedback that limits trajectory-level control. We propose a unified framework **CogniEdit**, combining multi-modal reasoning with dense reward optimization that propagates gradients across consecutive denoising steps, enabling trajectory-level gradient flow through the sampling process. Our method comprises three components: (1) Multi-modal Large Language Models for decomposing complex instructions into actionable directives, (2) Dynamic Token Focus Relocation that adaptively emphasizes fine-grained attributes, and (3) Dense GRPO-based Optimization that propagates gradients across consecutive steps for trajectory-level supervision. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our CogniEdit achieves state-of-the-art performance in balancing fine-grained instruction following with visual quality and editability preservation. Our code is available at https://github.com/yl4467/CogniEdit.

Can a diffusion model produce its own "mental average" of a concept--one that is as sharp and realistic as a typical sample? We introduce Diffusion Mental Averages (DMA), a model-centric answer to this question. While prior methods aim to average image collections, they produce blurry results when applied to diffusion samples from the same prompt. These data-centric techniques operate outside the model, ignoring the generative process. In contrast, DMA averages within the diffusion model's semantic space, as discovered by recent studies. Since this space evolves across timesteps and lacks a direct decoder, we cast averaging as trajectory alignment: optimize multiple noise latents so their denoising trajectories progressively converge toward shared coarse-to-fine semantics, yielding a single sharp prototype. We extend our approach to multimodal concepts (e.g., dogs with many breeds) by clustering samples in semantically-rich spaces such as CLIP and applying Textual Inversion or LoRA to bridge CLIP clusters into diffusion space. This is, to our knowledge, the first approach that delivers consistent, realistic averages, even for abstract concepts, serving as a concrete visual summary and a lens into model biases and concept representation.

Intrinsic image decomposition aims to separate images into physical components such as albedo, depth, normals, and illumination. While recent diffusion- and transformer-based models benefit from paired supervision from synthetic datasets, their generalization to diverse, real-world scenarios remains challenging. We propose ReasonX, a novel framework that leverages a multimodal large language model (MLLM) as a perceptual judge providing relative intrinsic comparisons, and uses these comparisons as GRPO rewards for fine-tuning intrinsic decomposition models on unlabeled, in-the-wild images. Unlike RL methods for generative models, our framework aligns conditional intrinsic predictors by rewarding agreement between the judge's relational assessments and analytically derived relations from the model's outputs. ReasonX is model-agnostic and can be applied to different intrinsic predictors. Across multiple base architectures and modalities, ReasonX yields significant improvements, including 9-25% WHDR reduction on IIW albedo and up to 46% depth accuracy gains on ETH3D, highlighting the promise of MLLM-guided comparative supervision to bridge low- and high-level vision reasoning.

Diffusion models face a fundamental trade-off between generation quality and computational efficiency. Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) offer an efficient solution but suffer from potential information loss and non-end-to-end training. In contrast, existing pixel space models bypass VAEs but are computationally prohibitive for high-resolution synthesis. To resolve this dilemma, we propose DiP, an efficient pixel space diffusion framework. DiP decouples generation into a global and a local stage: a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) backbone operates on large patches for efficient global structure construction, while a co-trained lightweight Patch Detailer Head leverages contextual features to restore fine-grained local details. This synergistic design achieves computational efficiency comparable to LDMs without relying on a VAE. DiP is accomplished with up to 10xfaster inference speeds than previous method while increasing the total number of parameters by only 0.3%, and achieves an 1.79 FID score on ImageNet 256x256.

We present GaussFusion, a novel approach for improving 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) reconstructions in the wild through geometry-informed video generation. GaussFusion mitigates common 3DGS artifacts, including floaters, flickering, and blur caused by camera pose errors, incomplete coverage, and noisy geometry initialization. Unlike prior RGB-based approaches limited to a single reconstruction pipeline, our method introduces a geometry-informed video-to-video generator that refines 3DGS renderings across both optimization-based and feed-forward methods. Given an existing reconstruction, we render a Gaussian primitive video buffer encoding depth, normals, opacity, and covariance, which the generator refines to produce temporally coherent, artifact-free frames. We further introduce an artifact synthesis pipeline that simulates diverse degradation patterns, ensuring robustness and generalization. GaussFusion achieves state-of-the-art performance on novel-view synthesis benchmarks, and an efficient variant runs in real time at 21 FPS while maintaining similar performance, enabling interactive 3D applications.

With the rapid progress of controllable generation, training data synthesis has become a promising way to expand labeled datasets and alleviate manual annotation in remote sensing (RS). However, the complexity of semantic mask control and the uncertainty of sampling quality often limit the utility of synthetic data in downstream semantic segmentation tasks. To address these challenges, we propose a task-oriented data synthesis framework (TODSynth), including a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer (MM-DiT) with unified triple attention and a plug-and-play sampling strategy guided by task feedback. Built upon the powerful DiT-based generative foundation model, we systematically evaluate different control schemes, showing that a text-image-mask joint attention scheme combined with full fine-tuning of the image and mask branches significantly enhances the effectiveness of RS semantic segmentation data synthesis, particularly in few-shot and complex-scene scenarios. Furthermore, we propose a control-rectify flow matching (CRFM) method, which dynamically adjusts sampling directions guided by semantic loss during the early high-plasticity stage, mitigating the instability of generated images and bridging the gap between synthetic data and downstream segmentation tasks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms state-of-the-art controllable generation methods, producing more stable and task-oriented synthetic data for RS semantic segmentation.

Text-to-image diffusion models excel at generating high-quality, diverse images from natural language prompts. However, they often fail to produce semantically accurate results when the prompt contains concept combinations that contradict their learned priors. We define this failure mode as contextual contradiction, where one concept implicitly negates another due to entangled associations learned during training. To address this, we propose a stage-aware prompt decomposition framework that guides the denoising process using a sequence of proxy prompts. Each proxy prompt is constructed to match the semantic content expected to emerge at a specific stage of denoising, while ensuring contextual coherence. To construct these proxy prompts, we leverage a large language model (LLM) to analyze the target prompt, identify contradictions, and generate alternative expressions that preserve the original intent while resolving contextual conflicts. By aligning prompt information with the denoising progression, our method enables fine-grained semantic control and accurate image generation in the presence of contextual contradictions. Experiments across a variety of challenging prompts show substantial improvements in alignment to the textual prompt.

Instruction-based image editing models have recently achieved impressive performance, enabling complex edits to an input image from a multi-instruction prompt. However, these models apply each instruction in the prompt with a fixed strength, limiting the user's ability to precisely and continuously control the intensity of individual edits. We introduce SliderEdit, a framework for continuous image editing with fine-grained, interpretable instruction control. Given a multi-part edit instruction, SliderEdit disentangles the individual instructions and exposes each as a globally trained slider, allowing smooth adjustment of its strength. Unlike prior works that introduced slider-based attribute controls in text-to-image generation, typically requiring separate training or fine-tuning for each attribute or concept, our method learns a single set of low-rank adaptation matrices that generalize across diverse edits, attributes, and compositional instructions. This enables continuous interpolation along individual edit dimensions while preserving both spatial locality and global semantic consistency. We apply SliderEdit to state-of-the-art editing models, including FLUX-Kontext and Qwen-Image-Edit, and observe substantial improvements in edit controllability, visual consistency, and user steerability. We are the first to explore and propose a framework for continuous, fine-grained instruction control in image editing models. Our results pave the way for interactive, instruction-driven image manipulation with continuous and compositional control.

Region-instructed layout control in text-to-image generation is highly practical, yet existing methods suffer from limitations: (i) training-based approaches inherit data bias and often degrade image quality, and (ii) current techniques struggle with occlusion order, limiting real-world usability. To address these issues, we propose LayerBind. By modeling regional generation as distinct layers and binding them during the generation, our method enables precise regional and occlusion controllability. Our motivation stems from the observation that spatial layout and occlusion are established at a very early denoising stage, suggesting that rearranging the early latent structure is sufficient to modify the final output. Building on this, we structure the scheme into two phases: instance initialization and subsequent semantic nursing. (1) First, leveraging the contextual sharing mechanism in multimodal joint attention, Layer-wise Instance Initialization creates per-instance branches that attend to their own regions while anchoring to the shared background. At a designated early step, these branches are fused according to the layer order to form a unified latent with a pre-established layout. (2) Then, Layer-wise Semantic Nursing reinforces regional details and maintains the occlusion order via a layer-wise attention enhancement. Specifically, a sequential layered attention path operates alongside the standard global path, with updates composited under a layer-transparency scheduler. LayerBind is training-free and plug-and-play, serving as a regional and occlusion controller across Diffusion Transformers. It also supports editable workflows, allowing for flexible modifications like changing instances or rearranging visible orders. Experimental results demonstrate LayerBind's effectiveness, highlighting its potential for creative applications. Project page: https://littlefatshiba.github.io/layerbind-page

A reliable reward function is essential for reinforcement learning (RL) in image generation. Most current RL approaches depend on pre-trained preference models that output scalar rewards to approximate human preferences. However, these rewards often fail to capture human perception and are vulnerable to reward hacking, where higher scores do not correspond to better images. To address this, we introduce Adv-GRPO, an RL framework with an adversarial reward that iteratively updates both the reward model and the generator. The reward model is supervised using reference images as positive samples and can largely avoid being hacked. Unlike KL regularization that constrains parameter updates, our learned reward directly guides the generator through its visual outputs, leading to higher-quality images. Moreover, while optimizing existing reward functions can alleviate reward hacking, their inherent biases remain. For instance, PickScore may degrade image quality, whereas OCR-based rewards often reduce aesthetic fidelity. To address this, we take the image itself as a reward, using reference images and vision foundation models (e.g., DINO) to provide rich visual rewards. These dense visual signals, instead of a single scalar, lead to consistent gains across image quality, aesthetics, and task-specific metrics. Finally, we show that combining reference samples with foundation-model rewards enables distribution transfer and flexible style customization. In human evaluation, our method outperforms Flow-GRPO and SD3, achieving 70.0% and 72.4% win rates in image quality and aesthetics, respectively. Code and models has been released in https://github.com/showlab/Adv-GRPO.

Recently, great progress has been achieved in text-to-video (T2V) generation by scaling transformer-based diffusion models to billions of parameters, which can generate high-quality videos. However, existing models typically produce only short clips offline, restricting their use cases in interactive and real-time applications. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing StreamDiT, a streaming video generation model. StreamDiT training is based on flow matching by adding a moving buffer. We design mixed training with different partitioning schemes of buffered frames to boost both content consistency and visual quality. StreamDiT modeling is based on adaLN DiT with varying time embedding and window attention. To practice the proposed method, we train a StreamDiT model with 4B parameters. In addition, we propose a multistep distillation method tailored for StreamDiT. Sampling distillation is performed in each segment of a chosen partitioning scheme. After distillation, the total number of function evaluations (NFEs) is reduced to the number of chunks in a buffer. Finally, our distilled model reaches real-time performance at 16 FPS on one GPU, which can generate video streams at 512p resolution. We evaluate our method through both quantitative metrics and human evaluation. Our model enables real-time applications, e.g. streaming generation, interactive generation, and video-to-video.

In controllable driving-scene reconstruction and 3D scene generation, maintaining geometric fidelity while synthesizing visually plausible appearance under large viewpoint shifts is crucial. However, effective fusion of geometry-based 3DGS and appearance-driven diffusion models faces inherent challenges, as the absence of pixel-wise, 3D-consistent editing criteria often leads to over-restoration and geometric drift. To address these issues, we introduce **FaithFusion**, a 3DGS-diffusion fusion framework driven by pixel-wise Expected Information Gain (EIG). EIG acts as a unified policy for coherent spatio-temporal synthesis: it guides diffusion as a spatial prior to refine high-uncertainty regions, while its pixel-level weighting distills the edits back into 3DGS. The resulting plug-and-play system is free from extra prior conditions and structural modifications. Extensive experiments on the Waymo dataset demonstrate that our approach attains SOTA performance across NTA-IoU, NTL-IoU, and FID, maintaining an FID of 107.47 even at 6 meters lane shift.

Diffusion bridge models offer a powerful framework for connecting two data distributions, such as in image restoration and translation. Many existing methods learn this bridge by mimicking the score-matching formulation of standard diffusion models. In this work, we find that this way leads to an anomalous underfitting phenomenon near the target endpoint, as the process approaches the target distribution (t \to 0). This underfitting, characterized by significant drift in the predicted variance and direction, results from an excessively large discrepancy in noise levels between the network's input and its regression target. To resolve this issue, we propose the Noise-Aligned Diffusion Bridge (NADB). Our approach reformulates the diffusion bridge by first employing a mean network to provide a cleaner conditional target, and then introducing a novel, noise-aligned mapping relationship. This new formulation resolves the noise mismatch and corrects the underfitting near the target endpoint.Experimental validation across multiple image restoration and image translation tasks demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach. Code is available at https://github.com/gyr02/NADB.

Real-world image restoration aims to restore high-quality (HQ) images from degraded low-quality (LQ) inputs captured under uncontrolled conditions. Existing methods typically depend on ground-truth (GT) supervision, assuming that GT provides perfect reference quality. However, GT can still contain images with inconsistent perceptual fidelity, causing models to converge to the average quality level of the training data rather than achieving the highest perceptual quality attainable. To address these problems, we propose a novel framework, termed IQPIR, that introduces an Image Quality Prior (IQP)--extracted from pre-trained No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) models--to guide the restoration process toward perceptually optimal outputs explicitly. Our approach synergistically integrates IQP with a learned codebook prior through three key mechanisms:(1) a quality-conditioned Transformer, where NR-IQA-derived scores serve as conditioning signals to steer the predicted representation toward maximal perceptual quality. This design provides a plug-and-play enhancement compatible with existing restoration architectures without structural modification; and(2) a dual-branch codebook structure, which disentangles common and HQ-specific features, ensuring a comprehensive representation of both generic structural information and quality-sensitive attributes; and (3) a discrete representation-based quality optimization strategy, which mitigates over-optimization effects commonly observed in continuous latent spaces. Extensive experiments on real-world image restoration demonstrate that our method not only surpasses cutting-edge methods but also serves as a generalizable quality-guided enhancement strategy for existing methods. The code is available at https://github.com/fengyang1399-pixel/IQPIR.

We present ShapeAR, a novel autoregressive latent diffusion framework that decomposes raster images into editable, artist-like vector shape layers. Unlike conventional raster-to-SVG methods that rely on boundary tracing or joint path optimisation, ShapeAR generates non-overlapping RGBA shape layers directly in latent space via flow-matching diffusion. To scale generation to complex scenes with many shapes, we formulate the process auto-regressively, conditioning each step on both the input image (global context) and partial composition of previously generated layers (local context). In addition, we propose geometry-aware evaluation metrics that quantify aesthetic and structural quality of the generated shapes.

As a pivotal task that bridges remote visual and linguistic understanding, Remote Sensing Image-Text Retrieval (RSITR) has attracted considerable research interest in recent years. However, almost all RSITR methods implicitly assume that image-text pairs are matched perfectly. In practice, acquiring a large set of well-aligned data pairs is often prohibitively expensive or even infeasible. Although several studies have acknowledged the presence of noisy pairs, little work has explored how to endow neural networks with robustness against such noise. Based on the above observations, we reveal an important but untouched problem in RSITR, i.e., Noisy Correspondence (NC). To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel Robust Remote Sensing Image-Text Retrieval (RRSITR) paradigm that designs a self-paced learning strategy to mimic human cognitive learning patterns, thereby learning from easy to hard from multi-modal data with NC. Specifically, we first divide all training sample pairs into three categories based on the loss magnitude of each pair, i.e., clean sample pairs, ambiguous sample pairs, and noisy sample pairs. Then, we respectively estimate the reliability of each training pair by assigning a weight to each pair based on the values of the loss. Further, we respectively design a new self-paced function to dynamically regulate the training sequence and weights of the samples, thus establishing a progressive learning process. Finally, for noisy sample pairs, we present an enhanced triplet loss to dynamically adjust the soft margin based on semantic similarity, thereby enhancing the robustness against noise. Extensive experiments on three popular benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed RRSITR significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, especially in high noise rates.

Image restoration aims to recover high quality images from inputs degraded by various factors, such as adverse weather, blur, or low light. While recent studies have shown remarkable progress across individual or unified restoration tasks, they still suffer from limited generalization and inefficiency when handling unknown or composite degradations. To address these limitations, we propose RAR, a Restore, Assess and Repeat process, that integrates Image Quality Assessment (IQA) and Image Restoration (IR) into a unified framework to iteratively and efficiently achieve high quality image restoration. Specifically, we introduce a restoration process that operates entirely in the latent domain to jointly perform degradation identification, image restoration, and quality verification. The resulting model is fully trainable end to end and allows for an all-in-one assess and restore approach that dynamically adapts the restoration process. Also, the tight integration of IQA and IR into a unified model minimizes the latency and information loss that typically arises from keeping the two modules disjoint, (e.g. during image and/or text decoding). Extensive experiments show that our approach consistent improvements under single, unknown and composite degradations, thereby establishing a new state-of-the-art.
