SC-Diff model enhances visible-to-infrared image translation with semantic calibration

Researchers have developed SC-Diff, a novel diffusion model designed for translating visible images into infrared representations. This framework enhances semantic consistency by calibrating self-attention mechanisms within the denoising network using semantic maps derived from a SAM3 model. The SC-Diff method adaptively adjusts attention biases based on category and attention dispersion, aiming to reduce cross-category interference while preserving global context. Experiments indicate that SC-Diff improves the quality of generated infrared images and yields more effective synthetic data for downstream tasks like infrared object detection. AI

IMPACT This research could improve synthetic data generation for infrared imaging, potentially benefiting applications in object detection and surveillance.

    SC-Diff: Semantically Calibrated Diffusion for Visible-to-Infrared Image Translation

    arXiv:2608.08555v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visible-to-infrared image translation provides a practical way to expand infrared training data using abundant visible images. Diffusion models are promising for this task because of their strong generative performance. However, exi…
