Computer Vision · Image and Video Generation

Zijing Hu, Yunze Tong, Fengda Zhang, Junkun Yuan, Jun Xiao, Kun Kuang

Diffusion models have achieved impressive results in generating high-quality images. Yet, they often struggle to faithfully align the generated images with the input prompts. This limitation is associated with synchronous denoising, where all pixels simultaneously evolve from random noise to clear images. As a result, during generation, the prompt-related regions can only reference the unrelated regions at the same noise level, failing to obtain clear context and ultimately impairing text-to-image alignment. To address this issue, we propose asynchronous diffusion models, a novel framework that allocates distinct timesteps to different pixels and reformulates the pixel-wise denoising process. By dynamically modulating the timestep schedules of individual pixels, prompt-related regions are denoised more gradually than unrelated regions, thereby allowing them to leverage clearer inter-pixel context. Consequently, these prompt-related regions achieve better alignment in the final images. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our asynchronous diffusion models can significantly improve text-to-image alignment across diverse prompts.

Text-to-video and image-to-video generation have made rapid progress in visual quality, but they remain limited in controlling the precise timing of motion. In contrast, audio provides temporal cues aligned with video motion, making it a promising condition for temporally controlled video generation. However, existing audio-to-video (A2V) models struggle with fine-grained synchronization due to indirect conditioning mechanisms or limited temporal modeling capacity. We present Syncphony, which generates 380×640 resolution, 24fps videos synchronized with diverse audio inputs. Our approach builds upon a pre-trained video backbone and incorporates two key components to improve synchronization: (1) Motion-aware Loss, which emphasizes learning at high-motion regions; (2) Audio Sync Guidance, which guides the full model using a visually aligned off-sync model without audio layers to better exploit audio cues at inference while maintaining visual quality. To evaluate synchronization, we propose CycleSync, a video-to-audio-based metric that measures the amount of motion cues in the generated video to reconstruct the original audio. Experiments on AVSync15 and The Greatest Hits datasets demonstrate that Syncphony outperforms existing methods in both synchronization accuracy and visual quality.

Recent work shows that, beyond discrete reasoning through explicit chain-of-thought steps, which are limited by the boundaries of natural languages, large language models (LLMs) can also reason continuously in latent space, allowing richer information per step and thereby improving token efficiency. Despite this promise, latent reasoning still faces two challenges, especially in training-free settings: 1) purely latent reasoning broadens the search distribution by maintaining multiple implicit paths, which diffuses probability mass, introduces noise, and impedes convergence to a single high-confidence solution, thereby hurting accuracy; and 2) overthinking persists even without explicit text, wasting tokens and degrading efficiency. To address these issues, we introduce SwiReasoning, a training-free framework for LLM reasoning which features two key innovations: 1) SwiReasoning dynamically switches between explicit and latent reasoning, guided by block-wise confidence estimated from entropy trends in next-token distributions, to balance exploration and exploitation and promote timely convergence. 2) By limiting the maximum number of thinking-block switches, SwiReasoning curbs overthinking and improves token efficiency across varying problem difficulties. On widely used mathematics, STEM, coding, and general benchmarks, SwiReasoning consistently improves average accuracy by 1.8%–3.1% across reasoning LLMs of different model families and scales. Furthermore, under constrained budgets, SwiReasoning improves average token efficiency by 57%-79%, with larger gains as budgets tighten.

Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC), particularly video generation with diffusion models, has been advanced rapidly. Invisible watermarking is a key technology for protecting AI-generated videos and tracing harmful content, and thus plays a crucial role in AI safety. Beyond post-processing watermarks which inevitably degrade video quality, recent studies have proposed distortion-free in-generation watermarking for video diffusion models. However, existing in-generation approaches are non-blind: they require maintaining all the message-key pairs and performing template-based matching during extraction, which incurs prohibitive computational costs at scale. Moreover, when applied to modern video diffusion models with causal 3D Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), their robustness against temporal disturbance becomes extremely weak. To overcome these challenges, we propose SIGMark, a Scalable In-Generation watermarking framework with blind extraction for video diffusion. To achieve blind-extraction, we propose to generate watermarked initial noise using a Global set of Frame-wise PseudoRandom Coding keys (GF-PRC), reducing the cost of storing large-scale information while preserving noise distribution and diversity for distortion-free watermarking. To enhance robustness, we further design a Segment Group-Ordering module (SGO) tailored to causal 3D VAEs, ensuring robust watermark inversion during extraction under temporal disturbance. Comprehensive experiments on modern diffusion models show that SIGMark achieves very high bit-accuracy during extraction under both temporal and spatial disturbances with minimal overhead, demonstrating its scalability and robustness. Our code is available at https://github.com/JeremyZhao1998/SIGMark-release.

Massive Activations (MAs) are a well-documented phenomenon across Transformer architectures, and prior studies in both LLMs and ViTs have shown that they play a substantial role in shaping model behavior. However, the nature and function of MAs within Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) remain largely unexplored. In this work, we systematically investigate these activations to elucidate their role in visual generation. We found that these massive activations occur across all spatial tokens, and their distribution is modulated by the input timestep embeddings. Importantly, our investigations further demonstrate that these massive activations play a key role in local detail synthesis, while having minimal impact on the overall semantic content of output. Building on these insights, we propose Detail Guidance (DG), a MAs-driven, training-free self-guidance strategy to explicitly enhance local detail fidelity for DiTs. Specifically, DG constructs a degraded ``detail-deficient'' model by disrupting MAs and leverages it to guide the original network toward higher-quality detail synthesis. Our DG can seamlessly integrate with Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG), enabling joint enhancement of detail fidelity and prompt alignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our DG consistently improves local detail quality across various pre-trained DiTs (\eg, SD3, SD3.5, and Flux).

The rapid progress of visual autoregressive (VAR) models has brought new opportunities for text-to-image generation, but also heightened safety concerns. Existing concept erasure techniques, primarily designed for diffusion models, fail to generalize to VARs due to their next-scale token prediction paradigm. In this paper, we first propose a novel VAR Erasure framework **VARE** that enables stable concept erasure in VAR models by leveraging auxiliary visual tokens to reduce fine-tuning intensity. Building upon this, we introduce **S-VARE**, a novel and effective concept erasure method designed for VAR, which incorporates a filtered cross entropy loss to precisely identify and minimally adjust unsafe visual tokens, along with a preservation loss to maintain semantic fidelity, addressing the issues such as language drift and reduced diversity introduce by na\"ive fine-tuning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves surgical concept erasure while preserving generation quality, thereby closing the safety gap in autoregressive text-to-image generation by earlier methods.

Neural radiance fields and 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) have significantly advanced 3D reconstruction and novel view synthesis (NVS). Yet, achieving high-fidelity and view-consistent renderings directly from point clouds---without costly per-scene optimization---remains a core challenge. In this work, we present DiffPBR, a diffusion-based framework that synthesizes coherent, photorealistic renderings from diverse point cloud inputs. We demonstrate that diffusion models, when guided by viewpoint-projected noise explicitly constrained by scene geometry and visibility, naturally enforce geometric consistency across camera motion. To achieve this, we first introduce adaptive CoNo-Splatting, a technique for fast and faithful rasterization that ensures efficient and effective handling of point clouds. Secondly, we integrate residual learning into the neural re-rendering pipeline, which improves convergence, generalization, and visual quality across diverse rendering tasks. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms existing baselines with an improvement of **3~5dB** in rendered image quality, a reduction from **41 to 8** in GPU hours for training, and an increase from **3.6fps to 10fps** (our one-step variant) in rendering speed frequency.

This work introduces Robots Imitating Generated Videos (RIGVid), a system that enables robots to perform complex manipulation tasks—such as pouring, wiping, and mixing—purely by imitating AI-generated videos, without requiring any physical demonstrations or robot-specific training. Given a language command and an initial scene image, a video diffusion model generates potential demonstration videos, and a vision-language model (VLM) automatically filters out results that do not follow the command. A 6D pose tracker then extracts object trajectories from the video, and the trajectories are retargeted to the robot in an embodiment-agnostic fashion. Through extensive realworld evaluations, we show that filtered generated videos are as effective as real demonstrations, and that performance improves with generation quality. We also show that relying on generated videos outperforms more compact alternatives such as keypoint prediction using VLMs, and that strong 6D pose tracking outperforms other ways to extract trajectories, such as dense feature point tracking. These findings suggest that videos produced by a state-of-the-art off-the-shelf model can offer an effective source of supervision for robotic manipulation.

Small-molecule ligands extend protein functionality beyond natural amino acids, enabling sophisticated processes like catalysis, signal transduction, and light harvesting. However, designing proteins with high affinity and selectivity for arbitrary ligands remains a major challenge. We present Pallatom-Ligand, a diffusion model that performs end-to-end generation of ligand-binding proteins at atomic resolution. By directly learning the joint distribution of all atoms in the protein–ligand complexes, Pallatom-Ligand delivers state-of-the-art performance, achieving the highest *in silico* success rates in a comprehensive benchmark. In addition, Pallatom-Ligand's novel conditioning framework enables programmable control over global protein fold and atomic-level ligand solvent accessibility. With these capabilities, Pallatom-Ligand opens new opportunities for exploring the protein function space, advancing both generative modeling and computational protein engineering.

Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have emerged as powerful generative models, but their iterative denoising structure and deep transformer blocks incur substantial computational overhead, limiting the accessibility and practical deployment of high-quality video generation. To address this bottleneck, we propose ScalingCache, a training-free acceleration framework specifically designed for DiTs. ScalingCache exploits the inherent redundancy in model representations by performing lightweight offline analysis on a small number of samples and dynamically reusing previously computed activations during inference, thereby avoiding full computation at certain denoising steps. Experimental results demonstrate that ScalingCache achieves significant acceleration in both image and video generation tasks while maintaining near-lossless generation quality. On widely used video generation models including Wan2.1 and HunyuanVideo, it achieves approximately 2.5$\times$ acceleration with only 0.5$\%$ drop in VBench scores; on FLUX, it achieves 3.1$\times$ near-lossless acceleration, with human preference tests showing comparable quality to original outputs. Moreover, under similar acceleration ratios, ScalingCache outperforms prior state-of-the-art caching strategies, achieving a 45$\%$ reduction in LPIPS for text-to-image generation and 20$-$30$\%$ reduction for text-to-video generation, highlighting its superior fidelity preservation.

Objective assessment of audio source‑separation systems still mismatches subjective human perception, especially when interference from competing talkers and distortion of the target signal interact. We introduce Perceptual Separation (PS) and Perceptual Match (PM), a complementary pair of measures that, by design, isolate these leakage and distortion factors. Our intrusive approach generates a set of fundamental distortions, e.g., clipping, notch filter, and pitch shift from each reference waveform signal in the mixture. Distortions, references, and system outputs from all sources are independently encoded by a pre-trained self-supervised model, then aggregated and embedded with a manifold learning technique called diffusion maps, which aligns Euclidean distances on the manifold with dissimilarities of the encoded waveform representations. On this manifold, PM captures the self‑distortion of a source by measuring distances from its output to its reference and associated distortions, while PS captures leakage by also accounting for distances from the output to non‑attributed references and distortions. Both measures are differentiable and operate at a resolution as high as 75 frames per second, allowing granular optimization and analysis. We further derive, for both measures, frame-level deterministic error radius and non-asymptotic, high-probability confidence intervals. Experiments on English, Spanish, and music mixtures show that, against 18 widely used measures, the PS and PM are almost always placed first or second in linear and rank correlations with subjective human mean-opinion scores.

Hand motion plays a central role in human interaction, yet modeling realistic 4D hand motion (*i.e.*, 3D hand pose sequences over time) remains challenging. Research in this area is typically divided into two tasks: (1) Estimation approaches reconstruct precise motion from visual observations, but often fail under hand occlusion or absence; (2) Generation approaches focus on synthesizing hand poses by exploiting generative priors under multi-modal structured inputs and infilling motion from incomplete sequences. However, this separation not only limits the effective use of heterogeneous condition signals that frequently arise in practice, but also prevents knowledge transfer between the two tasks. We present **UniHand**, a unified diffusion-based framework that formulates both estimation and generation as conditional motion synthesis. UniHand integrates heterogeneous inputs by embedding structured signals into a shared latent space through a joint variational autoencoder, which aligns conditions such as MANO parameters and 2D skeletons. Visual observations are encoded with a frozen vision backbone, while a dedicated hand perceptron extracts hand-specific cues directly from image features, removing the need for complex detection and cropping pipelines. A latent diffusion model then synthesizes consistent motion sequences from these diverse conditions. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate that UniHand delivers robust and accurate hand motion modeling, maintaining performance under severe occlusions and temporally incomplete inputs.

Feature caching approaches accelerate diffusion transformers (DiTs) by storing the output features of computationally expensive modules at certain timesteps, and exploiting them for subsequent steps to reduce redundant computations. Recent forecasting-based caching approaches employ temporal extrapolation techniques to approximate the output features with cached ones. Although effective, relying exclusively on temporal extrapolation still suffers from significant prediction errors, leading to performance degradation. Through a detailed analysis, we find that 1) these errors stem from the irregular magnitude of changes in the output features, and 2) an input feature of a module is strongly correlated with the corresponding output. Based on this, we propose relational feature caching (RFC), a novel framework that leverages the input-output relationship to enhance the accuracy of the feature prediction. Specifically, we introduce relational feature estimation (RFE) to estimate the magnitude of changes in the output features from the inputs, enabling more accurate feature predictions. We also present relational cache scheduling (RCS), which estimates the prediction errors using the input features and performs full computations only when the errors are expected to be substantial. Extensive experiments across various DiT models demonstrate that RFC consistently outperforms prior approaches significantly. Project page is available at https://cvlab.yonsei.ac.kr/projects/RFC

Protecting the copyright of user-generated AI images is an emerging challenge as AIGC becomes pervasive in creative workflows. Existing watermarking methods (1) remain vulnerable to real-world adversarial threats, often forced to trade off between defenses against spoofing and removal attacks; and (2) cannot support semantic-level tamper localization. We introduce PAI, a training-free inherent watermarking framework for AIGC copyright protection, plug-and-play with diffusion-based AIGC services. PAI simultaneously provides three key functionalities: robust ownership verification, attack detection, and semantic-level tampering localization. Unlike existing inherent watermark methods that only embed watermarks at noise initialization of diffusion models, we design a novel key-conditioned deflection mechanism that subtly steers the denoising trajectory according to the user key. Such trajectory-level coupling further strengthens the semantic entanglement of identity and content, thereby further enhancing robustness against real-world threats. Moreover, we also provide a theoretical analysis proving that only the valid key can pass verification. Experiments across 12 attack methods show that PAI achieves 98.43\% verification accuracy, improving over SOTA methods by 37.25\% on average, and retains strong tampering localization performance even against advanced AIGC edits.

Peptides, short chains of amino acids capable of high-specificity protein binding, represent a powerful class of therapeutics. While deep generative models have shown promise for peptide design, existing approaches are often structure-centric and therefore generate sequences and structures in a decoupled manner, failing to ensure that designs are simultaneously physically stable, evolutionarily plausible, and internally coherent. To overcome this limitation, we introduce \textbf{PepTri}, a novel diffusion framework that addresses this by jointly generating peptide sequences and 3D structures within a unified, SE(3)-equivariant latent space. Our proposed model integrates three complementary guidance signals during the generative process: (i) physics-informed guidance via differentiable molecular mechanics to ensure structural stability and realism; (ii) evolutionary guidance to bias sequences toward conserved, functional motifs; and (iii) mutual information guidance to explicitly maximize sequence-structure coherence. This tri-guided approach ensures the generative process is steered by biophysical laws, biological priors, and information-theoretic alignment in tandem. Extensive evaluations on challenging peptide-protein design benchmarks, cross-domain (PepBench, LNR) and in-domain (PepBDB), demonstrate that PepTri substantially outperforms strong baselines, achieving state-of-the-art results in binding affinity, structural accuracy, and design diversity. Our results establish that integrating these complementary signals directly into the denoising process is crucial for generating viable, high-quality peptide medicines.

We propose Lavida-O, a unified Masked Diffusion Model (MDM) for multimodal understanding and generation. Unlike existing multimodal MDMs such as MMaDa and Muddit which only support simple image-level understanding tasks and low-resolution image generation, Lavida-O presents a single framework that enables image-level understanding, object grounding, image editing, and high-resolution (1024px) text-to-image synthesis. Lavida-O incorporates a novel Elastic Mixture-of-Transformers (Elastic-MoT) architecture that couples a lightweight generation branch with a larger understanding branch, supported by token compression, universal text conditioning and stratified sampling for efficient and high-quality generation. Lavida-O further incorporates planning and iterative self-reflection in image generation and editing tasks, seamlessly boosting generation quality with its understanding capabilities. Lavida-O achieves state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of benchmarks including RefCOCO object grounding, GenEval text-to-image generation, and ImgEdit image editing, outperforming existing autoregressive models and continuous diffusion models such as Qwen2.5-VL and FluxKontext-dev, while offering considerable speedup at inference. These advances establish Lavida-O as a new paradigm for scalable multimodal reasoning and generation.

We present **Captain Cinema**, a generation framework for short movie generation. Given a detailed textual description of a movie storyline, our approach firstly generates a sequence of keyframes that outline the entire narrative, which ensures long-range coherence in both the storyline and visual appearance (e.g., scenes and characters). We refer to this step as top-down keyframe planning. These keyframes then serve as conditioning signals for a video synthesis model, which supports long context learning, to produce the spatio-temporal dynamics between them. This step is referred to as bottom-up video synthesis. To support stable and efficient generation of multi-scene long narrative cinematic works, we introduce an interleaved training strategy for Multimodal Diffusion Transformers (MM-DiT), specifically adapted for long-context video data. Our model is trained on a curated cinematic dataset consisting of interleaved samples for video generation. Our experiments demonstrate that Captain Cinema performs favorably in the automated creation of visually coherent and narratively consistent short films.

Deep Gaussian processes (DGPs) enable expressive hierarchical Bayesian modeling but pose substantial challenges for posterior inference, especially over inducing variables. Denoising diffusion variational inference (DDVI) addresses this by modeling the posterior as a time-reversed diffusion from a simple Gaussian prior. However, DDVI’s fixed unconditional starting distribution remains far from the complex true posterior, resulting in inefficient inference trajectories and slow convergence. In this work, we propose Diffusion Bridge Variational Inference (DBVI), a principled extension of DDVI that initiates the reverse diffusion from a learnable, data-dependent initial distribution. This initialization is parameterized via an amortized neural network and progressively adapted using gradients from the ELBO objective, reducing the posterior gap and improving sample efficiency. To enable scalable amortization, we design the network to operate on the inducing inputs $\mathbf{Z}^{(l)}$, which serve as structured, low-dimensional summaries of the dataset and naturally align with the inducing variables' shape. DBVI retains the mathematical elegance of DDVI—including Girsanov-based ELBOs and reverse-time SDEs—while reinterpreting the prior via a Doob-bridged diffusion process. We derive a tractable training objective under this formulation and implement DBVI for scalable inference in large-scale DGPs. Across regression, classification, and image reconstruction tasks, DBVI consistently outperforms DDVI and other variational baselines in predictive accuracy, convergence speed, and posterior quality.

The goal of generative diffusion models is to align the learned distribution with the real data distribution through gradient score matching. However, inherent limitations of current generative models lead to an inevitable gap between generated data and real data. To address this, we propose Weak-to-Strong Diffusion (W2SD), a novel framework that utilizes the estimated gap between existing weak and strong models (i.e., weak-to-strong gap) to bridge the gap between an ideal model and a strong model. By employing a reflective operation that alternates between denoising and inversion with weak-to-strong gap, W2SD steers latent variables along sampling trajectories toward regions of the real data distribution. W2SD is highly flexible and broadly applicable, enabling diverse improvements through the strategic selection of weak-to-strong model pairs (e.g., DreamShaper vs. SD1.5, good experts vs. bad experts in MoE). Extensive experiments demonstrate that W2SD significantly improves human preference, aesthetic quality, and prompt adherence, achieving significantly improved performance across various modalities (e.g., image, video), architectures (e.g., UNet-based, DiT-based, MoE), and benchmarks. For example, Juggernaut-XL with W2SD can improve with the HPSv2 winning rate up to 90\% over the original results. Moreover, the performance gains achieved by W2SD markedly outweigh its additional computational overhead, while the cumulative improvements from different weak-to-strong gap further solidify its practical utility and deployability.

Gaussian Splatting (GS) enables immersive rendering, but realistic 3D object–scene composition remains challenging. Baked appearance and shadow information in GS radiance fields cause inconsistencies when combining objects and scenes. Addressing this requires relightable object reconstruction and scene lighting estimation. For relightable object reconstruction, existing Gaussian-based inverse rendering methods often rely on ray tracing, leading to low efficiency. We introduce Surface Octahedral Probes (SOPs), which store lighting and occlusion information and allow efficient 3D querying via interpolation, avoiding expensive ray tracing. SOPs provide at least a 2x speedup in reconstruction and enable real-time shadow computation in Gaussian scenes. For lighting estimation, existing Gaussian-based inverse rendering methods struggle to model intricate light transport and often fail in complex scenes, while learning-based methods predict lighting from a single image and are viewpoint-sensitive. We observe that 3D object–scene composition primarily concerns the object’s appearance and nearby shadows. Thus, we simplify the challenging task of full scene lighting estimation by focusing on the environment lighting at the object’s placement. Specifically, we capture a 360° reconstructed radiance field of the scene at the location and fine-tune a diffusion model to complete the lighting. Building on these advances, we propose ComGS, a novel 3D object–scene composition framework. Our method achieves high-quality, real-time rendering at around 26 FPS, produces visually harmonious results with vivid shadows, and requires only 36 seconds for editing. The code and dataset are available at https://nju-3dv.github.io/projects/ComGS/.
