FICGen advances degraded image generation with frequency-inspired context disentanglement

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced FICGen, a novel paradigm for generating images from layout descriptions, specifically addressing challenges in degraded visual conditions like low-light or underwater scenes. The method tackles the "contextual illusion dilemma" by integrating frequency knowledge into the latent diffusion process, enabling better rendering of both foreground objects and their surroundings. FICGen employs a dual-query mechanism with frequency resamplers to extract prototypes and uses a visual-frequency enhanced attention to inject this knowledge, along with an instance coherence map and adaptive aggregation module to refine disentanglement and representation.

    FICGen: Frequency-Inspired Contextual Disentanglement for Layout-driven Degraded Image Generation

    arXiv:2509.01107v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Layout-to-image (L2I) generation has exhibited promising results in natural domains, but suffers from limited generative fidelity and weak alignment with user-provided layouts when applied to degraded scenes (i.e., low-light, un…
