New GenScale benchmark reveals image generators struggle with object scale

Researchers have introduced GenScale, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the accuracy of relative object scaling in image generation and editing systems. The benchmark includes 900 image entries and over 1,600 pairwise scale relations across various generation tasks. To address observed scale inaccuracies, a model-agnostic post-processing agent called Rescale has also been developed, which consistently improves the plausibility of object scales in generated and edited images without altering the original generator. AI

IMPACT This benchmark and post-processing tool could drive improvements in the realism and accuracy of AI-generated images, particularly concerning object proportions.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new academic benchmark and associated tool for evaluating image generation capabilities. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    GenScale: A Benchmark for Relative Object Scale in Image Generation and Editing

    arXiv:2609.00525v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern image generation and editing systems can produce photorealistic, prompt-aligned images, but still often render familiar objects at implausible relative sizes. To measure this failure mode, we introduce GenScale, a benchmark a…
