Geometry-Aware Scene-Consistent Image Generation
This addresses the challenge of scene-consistent image generation for applications like virtual reality or content creation, though it appears incremental by improving an existing trade-off.
The paper tackles the problem of generating images that preserve a reference scene's physical environment while adhering to textual instructions for adding entities with specific spatial relations, achieving better scene alignment and text-image consistency than state-of-the-art baselines as shown by automatic metrics and human preference studies.
We study geometry-aware scene-consistent image generation: given a reference scene image and a text condition specifying an entity to be generated in the scene and its spatial relation to the scene, the goal is to synthesize an output image that preserves the same physical environment as the reference scene while correctly generating the entity according to the spatial relation described in the text. Existing methods struggle to balance scene preservation with prompt adherence: they either replicate the scene with high fidelity but poor responsiveness to the prompt, or prioritize prompt compliance at the expense of scene consistency. To resolve this trade-off, we introduce two key contributions: (i) a scene-consistent data construction pipeline that generates diverse, geometrically-grounded training pairs, and (ii) a novel geometry-guided attention loss that leverages cross-view cues to regularize the model's spatial reasoning. Experiments on our scene-consistent benchmark show that our approach achieves better scene alignment and text-image consistency than state-of-the-art baselines, according to both automatic metrics and human preference studies. Our method produces geometrically coherent images with diverse compositions that remain faithful to the textual instructions and the underlying scene structure.
