Researchers have introduced CoatFusion, a new diffusion model architecture designed for a novel image editing task called Material Coating. This task involves applying a thin layer of material onto an object in an image while preserving its geometry, distinguishing it from traditional material transfer methods. To support this, a large synthetic dataset named DataCoat110K, comprising 110,000 images with physically-based coatings, was created. Experiments demonstrate that CoatFusion outperforms existing methods in generating realistic and controllable coatings. AI
