Researchers have introduced RefAlign, a novel framework designed to improve reference-to-video (R2V) generation. This method explicitly aligns features from the diffusion Transformer's reference branch with those of a visual foundation model. The alignment process aims to enhance identity consistency for subjects and improve semantic discriminability between different subjects, thereby reducing issues like copy-paste artifacts and multi-subject confusion. RefAlign is applied only during training, incurring no inference-time overhead, and has demonstrated superior performance on the OpenS2V-Eval benchmark. AI
