Human animation strives to bring static characters to life. Existing methods produce high-quality outcomes for single-frame animation; however, they often fail to maintain satisfactory temporal consistency, especially in facial and hand movements. This limitation arises from commonly used motion modules that do not explicitly model inter-entity relationships. In this work, we introduce MoAnimate, a Motion-oriented Human Animation framework designed to improve inter-entity consistency. Specifically, we extract motion flows from driving videos and transfer them to align the shape of character. During initialization, we propose a motion-oriented latent refinement that optimizes low-frequency subbands to regulate the layout of visual objects along flow trajectories, while preserving random high-frequency subbands to accommodate appearance variations. During denoising, we further introduce a motion-oriented entity attention module to enable direct and efficient interaction among entities within a coordinated subspace. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly enhances temporal consistency, particularly the visual consistency of the entities.

Despite the remarkable process of talking-head-based avatar-creating solutions, directly generating anchor-style videos with full-body motions remains challenging. In this study, we propose Make-Your-Anchor+, a novel system necessitating only a one-minute video clip of an individual for training, subsequently enabling the automatic generation of anchor-style videos with precise torso and hand movements. Specifically, we finetune a proposed structure-guided diffusion model on input video to render 3D mesh conditions into human appearances. We adopt a two-stage training strategy for the diffusion model, effectively mapping movements with specific appearances to create digital avatars for online streamers, live shopping hosts, and other applications. To produce arbitrary long temporal video, we extract human motion information from video diffusion prior by adapting the frame-wise diffusion model to pretrained video diffusion weights with lower cost, and a simple yet effective batch-overlapped temporal denoising module is proposed to bypass the constraints on video length during inference. Finally, a novel identity-specific face enhancement module is introduced to improve the visual quality of facial regions in the output videos. Comparative experiments demonstrate the system's effectiveness and superiority in visual quality, temporal coherence, and identity preservation, outperforming SOTA diffusion/non-diffusion methods.

Visual generation models have achieved remarkable progress in computer graphics applications but still face significant challenges in real-world deployment. Current assessment approaches for visual generation tasks typically follow an isolated three-phase framework: test input collection, model output generation, and user assessment. These fashions suffer from fixed coverage, evolving difficulty, and data leakage risks, limiting their effectiveness in comprehensively evaluating increasingly complex generation models. To address these limitations, we propose DyEval, an LLM-powered dynamic interactive visual assessment framework that facilitates collaborative evaluation between humans and generative models for text-to-image systems. DyEval features an intuitive visual interface that enables users to interactively explore and analyze model behaviors, while adaptively generating hierarchical, fine-grained, and diverse textual inputs to continuously probe the capability boundaries of the models based on their feedback. Additionally, to provide interpretable analysis for users to further improve tested models, we develop a contextual reflection module that mines failure triggers of test inputs and reflects model potential failure patterns, supporting in-depth analysis using the logical reasoning ability of LLM. Qualitative and quantitative experiments demonstrate that DyEval can effectively help users identify max up to 2.56 timesmore generation failures than conventional methods, and uncover complex and rare failure patterns, such as issues with pronoun generation and specific cultural context generation. Our framework provides valuable insights for improving generative models and has broad implications for advancing the reliability and capabilities of visual generation systems across various domains.

The generation of anchor-style product promotion videos presents promising opportunities in e-commerce, advertising, and consumer engagement. Despite advancements in pose-guided human video generation, creating product promotion videos remains challenging. In addressing this challenge, we identify the integration of human-object interactions (HOI) into pose-guided human video generation as a core issue. To this end, we introduce AnchorCrafter, a novel diffusion-based system designed to generate 2D videos featuring a target human and a customized object, achieving high visual fidelity and controllable interactions. Specifically, we propose two key innovations: the HOI-appearance perception, which enhances object appearance recognition from arbitrary multi-view perspectives and disentangles object and human appearance, and the HOI-motion injection, which enables complex human-object interactions by overcoming challenges in object trajectory conditioning and inter-occlusion management. Extensive experiments show that our system improves object appearance preservation by 7.5%, and achieves the best video quality compared to existing state-of-the-art approaches. It also outperforms existing approaches in maintaining human motion consistency and high-quality video generation.

While recent advances in human-object interaction (HOI) video generation showcase promising capabilities for synthesizing coordinated human-object dynamics, existing methods remain constrained by their reliance on meticulously curated motion sequences and actor-specific data, thereby limiting practical scalability and user accessibility. Furthermore, generalization to novel object appearances and interaction scenarios remains understudied. To address these limitations, we propose HOMA, a weakly conditioned multimodal-driven HOI video generation framework that introduces sparse, decoupled motion guidance to enhance controllability and reduce dependency on stringent input conditions. Our approach encodes appearance and motion signals into the dual input space of a multimodal diffusion transformer (MMDiT), fusing them within a shared context space to enable temporally consistent and physically plausible interactions. To optimize learning efficiency and feature injection accuracy, we introduce a parameter-space HOI adapter initialized with pretrained MMDiT weights to preserve prior knowledge while enabling efficient adaptation. Additionally, we design a facial cross-attention adapter for audio-driven lip synchronization, ensuring anatomically accurate speech animation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HOMA achieves state-of-the-art performance in interaction naturalness and generalization under weak supervision, outperforming existing methods by significant margins. We further illustrate HOMA’s versatility through diverse applications, including text-conditioned generation and interactive object manipulation, facilitated by a user-friendly demo interface.

In this study, we revisit the fundamental setting of face-swapping models and reveal that only using implicit supervision for training leads to the difficulty of advanced methods to preserve the source identity. We propose a novel reverse pseudo-input generation approach to offer supplemental data for training face-swapping models, which addresses the aforementioned issue. Unlike the traditional pseudo-label-based training strategy, we assume that arbitrary real facial images could serve as the ground-truth outputs for the face-swapping network and try to generate corresponding input pair data. Specifically, we involve a source-creating surrogate that alters the attributes of the real image while keeping the identity, and a target-creating surrogate intends to synthesize attribute-preserved target images with different identities. Our framework, which utilizes proxy-paired data as explicit supervision to direct the face-swapping training process, partially fulfills a credible and effective optimization direction to boost the identity-preserving capability. We design explicit and implicit adaption strategies to better approximate the explicit supervision for face swapping. Quantitative and qualitative experiments on FF++, FFHQ, and wild images show that our framework could improve the performance of various face-swapping pipelines in terms of visual fidelity and ID preserving. Furthermore, we display applications with our method on re-aging, swappable attribute customization, cross-domain, and video face swapping. Code is available under https://github.com/ ICTMCG/CSCS.

With the rapid progress of generation technology, it has become necessary to attribute the origin of fake images. Existing works on fake image attribution perform multi-class classification on several Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) models and obtain high accuracies. While encouraging, these works are restricted to model-level attribution, only capable of handling images generated by seen models with a specific seed, loss and dataset, which is limited in real-world scenarios when fake images may be generated by privately trained models. This motivates us to ask whether it is possible to attribute fake images to the source models' architectures even if they are finetuned or retrained under different configurations. In this work, we present the first study on Deepfake Network Architecture Attribution to attribute fake images on architecture-level. Based on an observation that GAN architecture is likely to leave globally consistent fingerprints while traces left by model weights vary in different regions, we provide a simple yet effective solution named by DNA-Det for this problem. Extensive experiments on multiple cross-test setups and a large-scale dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of DNA-Det.

Single domain generalization is a challenging case of model generalization, where the models are trained on a single domain and tested on other unseen domains. A promising solution is to learn cross-domain invariant representations by expanding the coverage of the training domain. These methods have limited generalization performance gains in practical applications due to the lack of appropriate safety and effectiveness constraints. In this paper, we propose a novel learning framework called progressive domain expansion network (PDEN) for single domain generalization. The domain expansion subnetwork and representation learning subnetwork in PDEN mutually benefit from each other by joint learning. For the domain expansion subnetwork, multiple domains are progressively generated in order to simulate various photometric and geometric transforms in unseen domains. A series of strategies are introduced to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the expanded domains. For the domain invariant representation learning subnetwork, contrastive learning is introduced to learn the domain invariant representation in which each class is well clustered so that a better decision boundary can be learned to improve it’s generalization. Extensive experiments on classification and segmentation have shown that PDEN can achieve up to 15.28% improvement compared with the state-of-the-art single-domain generalization methods. Codes will be released soon at https://github.com/lileicv/PDEN
