FlowTranslator offers training-free in-image translation using diffusion models

Researchers have developed FlowTranslator, a novel framework for in-image machine translation (IIMT) that does not require paired training data. This method leverages advanced text-to-image diffusion models by first using OCR and an LLM to generate a translation prompt. The framework introduces two trajectory controls, Region Coupling Release (RCR) and Coupling Expansion (CE), to enhance the accuracy and naturalness of the translated text within the image. FlowTranslator has demonstrated superior performance compared to existing training-based methods on benchmarks like PRIM BLEU and COMET, and shows strong results on realistic ScenePair photographs.

    FlowTranslator: Training-Free In-Image Machine Translation with Flow-Based Editing

    In-image machine translation (IIMT) replaces text in an image with its translation while preserving the surrounding visual context. Existing task-specific models achieve convincing performance but require massive paired training images before and after translation. As advanced te…
