Researchers have developed a new framework called SEFS (Style-Encoder-Free Stylization) for diffusion models that aims to improve reference-based stylization. SEFS separates target geometry from appearance by using low-resolution crops of style images to capture local statistics like palette and texture, while minimizing the transfer of unintended scene structure. The framework also incorporates edge and segmentation cues for target content and uses parameter-efficient trainable projections for fusion. Ablation studies and benchmarks indicate that SEFS enhances content consistency and reduces leakage while maintaining style affinity. AI
