ProxyImg: Towards Highly-Controllable Image Representation via Hierarchical Disentangled Proxy Embedding

Ye Chen, Yupeng Zhu, Xiongzhen Zhang et al.

Prevailing image representation methods, including explicit representations such as raster images and Gaussian primitives, as well as implicit representations such as latent images, either suffer from representation redundancy that leads to heavy manual editing effort, or lack a direct mapping from latent variables to semantic instances or parts, making fine-grained manipulation difficult. These limitations hinder efficient and controllable image and video editing. To address these issues, we propose a hierarchical proxy-based parametric image representation that disentangles semantic, geometric, and textural attributes into independent and manipulable parameter spaces. Based on a semantic-aware decomposition of the input image, our representation constructs hierarchical proxy geometries through adaptive Bezier fitting and iterative internal region subdivision and meshing. Multi-scale implicit texture parameters are embedded into the resulting geometry-aware distributed proxy nodes, enabling continuous high-fidelity reconstruction in the pixel domain and instance- or part-independent semantic editing. In addition, we introduce a locality-adaptive feature indexing mechanism to ensure spatial texture coherence, which further supports high-quality background completion without relying on generative models. Extensive experiments on image reconstruction and editing benchmarks, including ImageNet, OIR-Bench, and HumanEdit, demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art rendering fidelity with significantly fewer parameters, while enabling intuitive, interactive, and physically plausible manipulation. Moreover, by integrating proxy nodes with Position-Based Dynamics, our framework supports real-time physics-driven animation using lightweight implicit rendering, achieving superior temporal consistency and visual realism compared with generative approaches.

Symplectic particle-in-cell methods for hybrid plasma models with Boltzmann electrons and space-charge effects

Yingzhe Li

We study the geometric particle-in-cell methods for an electrostatic hybrid plasma model. In this model, ions are described by the fully kinetic equations, electron density is determined by the Boltzmann relation, and space-charge effects are incorporated through the Poisson equation. By discretizing the action integral or the Poisson bracket of the hybrid model, we obtain a finite dimensional Hamiltonian system, for which the Hamiltonian splitting methods or the discrete gradient methods can be used to preserve the geometric structure or energy. The global neutrality condition is conserved under suitable boundary conditions. Moreover, the results are further developed for an electromagnetic hybrid model proposed in [Vu H X. J Comput Phys, 124(2):417-430]. Numerical experiments of finite grid instability, Landau damping, and resonantly excited nonlinear ion waves illustrate the behaviour of the proposed numerical methods.
