| 2026 | DEIG: Detail-Enhanced Instance Generation with Fine-Grained Semantic ControlabstractMulti-Instance Generation has advanced significantly in spatial placement and attribute binding. However, existing approaches still face challenges in fine-grained semantic understanding, particularly when dealing with complex textual descriptions.To overcome these limitations, we propose DEIG, a novel framework for fine-grained and controllable multi-instance generation. DEIG integrates an instance Detail Extractor (IDE) that transforms text encoder embeddings into compact, instance-aware representations, and a Detail Fusion Module (DFM) that applies instance-based masked attention to prevent attribute leakage across instances. These components enable DEIG to generate visually coherent multi-instance scenes that precisely match rich, localized textual descriptions. To support fine-grained supervision, we construct a high-quality dataset with detailed, compositional instance captions generated by VLMs. We also introduce DEIG-Bench, a new benchmark with region-level annotations and multi-attribute prompts for both humans and objects.Experiments demonstrate that DEIG consistently outperforms existing approaches across multiple benchmarks in spatial consistency, semantic accuracy, and compositional generalization. Moreover, DEIG functions as a plug-and-play module, making it easily integrable into standard diffusion-based pipelines. Shiyan Du, Conghan Yue, Dongyu Zhang 0002 |

| 2025 | LLDB: Efficient Low-Light Image Enhancement with Difffusion BridgeabstractThis paper investigates a low-light image enhancement method based on the diffusion bridge framework. Currently, low-light image enhancement tasks still face challenges in noise reduction and detail restoration, and existing diffusion model methods are time-consuming and have unstable diffusion processes. We conducted an in-depth study of diffusion bridge theory, integrating the advantages of the end-to-end paradigm of diffusion bridge theory and employing a nonlinear activation network to further enhance the performance of low-light image enhancement tasks. Additionally, we used a Gamma correction module for fine-tuning low-light images, significantly improving performance with almost no extra computational cost. Experiments show that Low-Light image enhancement with Difffusion Bridge (LLDB) far surpasses other methods on LOLv1 and LOLv2 datasets.

| 2025 | Enhanced Control for Diffusion Bridge in Image RestorationabstractImage restoration refers to the process of restoring a damaged low-quality image back to its corresponding high-quality image. Recently, a special type of diffusion bridge model has achieved more advanced results in image restoration. It can transform the direct mapping from low-quality to high-quality images into a diffusion process, restoring low-quality images through a reverse process. However, the current diffusion bridge restoration models do not emphasize the idea of conditional control, which may affect performance. This paper introduces the ECDB model enhancing the control of the diffusion bridge with low-quality images as conditions. Moreover, in response to the characteristic of diffusion models having low denoising level at larger values of t, we also propose a Conditional Fusion Schedule, which more effectively handles the conditional feature information of various modules. Experimental results prove that the ECDB model has achieved state-of-the-art results in many image restoration tasks, including deraining, inpainting and super-resolution.

| 2025 | Inversion-Free Image Editing via Rectified FlowabstractText-based image editing has advanced significantly with large-scale text-to-image models, but challenges remain: (1) inversion-based methods require substantial resources for inversion and optimization; (2) inversion-free methods struggle to balance controllability and consistency; and (3) incompatibility with faster flow-based models and Diffusion Transformers. In this paper, we propose FlowEdit, an inversion-free text-based image editing framework based on Diffusion Transformers. FlowEdit uses flow consistency sampling for precise image reconstruction, and enhances target images with robust consistency through velocity rectify and attention control mechanism. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FlowEdit excels in editing capabilities and consistency across various tasks while maintaining high efficiency (under 4 seconds on a single 3090 GPU), making it suitable for real-time applications.

| 2024 | Image Restoration Through Generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck BridgeabstractDiffusion models exhibit powerful generative capabilities enabling noise mapping to data via reverse stochastic differential equations. However, in image restoration, the focus is on the mapping relationship from low-quality to high-quality images. Regarding this issue, we introduce the Generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Bridge (GOUB) model. By leveraging the natural mean-reverting property of the generalized OU process and further eliminating the variance of its steady-state distribution through the Doob's *h*–transform, we achieve diffusion mappings from point to point enabling the recovery of high-quality images from low-quality ones. Moreover, we unravel the fundamental mathematical essence shared by various bridge models, all of which are special instances of GOUB and empirically demonstrate the optimality of our proposed models. Additionally, we present the corresponding Mean-ODE model adept at capturing both pixel-level details and structural perceptions. Experimental outcomes showcase the state-of-the-art performance achieved by both models across diverse tasks, including inpainting, deraining, and super-resolution.
