Diffusion models have recently emerged as powerful tools for camera simulation, enabling both geometric transformations and realistic optical effects. Among these, image-based bokeh rendering has shown promising results, but diffusion for video bokeh remains unexplored. Existing image-based methods…
Autonomous image-editing agents powered by multimodal large language models (MLLMs) improve transparency and controllability by translating high-level instructions into tool-mediated edit sequences, but training such agents with reinforcement learning often relies on dense proxy rewards (e.g., incre…
Diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable success in image generation, yet a persistent challenge remains: the bias between model predictions and the target distribution. In this paper, we propose a Bidirectional Noise Injection framework for enhancing diffusion models, implemented via Coordinat
Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) is a cornerstone of modern conditional diffusion models, yet its reliance on the fixed or heuristic dynamic guidance weight is predominantly empirical and overlooks the inherent dynamics of the diffusion process. In this paper, we provide a rigorous theoretical analysi
Layout-to-Image (L2I) generation, aiming at coherently generating multiple instances conditioned on the given layouts and instance captions, has raised substantial attention in the recent research. The primary challenges of L2I stem from 1) attribute leakage due to the entangled instance features wi…
Live Photo captures both a high-quality key photo and a short video clip to preserve the precious dynamics around the captured moment. While users may choose alternative frames as the key photo to capture better expressions or timing, these frames often exhibit noticeable quality degradation, as th…
We introduce Mono4DGS-HDR, the first system for reconstructing renderable 4D high dynamic range (HDR) scenes from unposed monocular low dynamic range (LDR) videos captured with alternating exposures.

Current image super-resolution methods show strong performance on natural images but distort text, creating a fundamental trade-off between image quality and textual readability.

Existing mobile devices are constrained by compact optical designs, such as small apertures, which make it difficult to produce natural, optically realistic bokeh effects. Although recent learning-based methods have shown promising results, they still struggle with photos captured under high digital
Image Aesthetic Assessment (IAA) is a vital and intricate task that entails analyzing and assessing an image's aesthetic values, and identifying its highlights and areas for improvement. Traditional methods of IAA often concentrate on a single aesthetic task and suffer from inadequate labeled datase…
