Open-vocabulary object detection (OVD) aims to detect arbitrary objects with user-provided text labels. Although recent progress has enhanced zero-shot detection ability, current techniques handicap themselves with three important challenges. They heavily depend on expensive and large-scale region-level annotations, which are hard to scale. Their captions are typically short and not contextually rich, which makes them…

Diffusion models generate images by progressively refining noise into structured representations. However, the computational cost associated with these models remains a key challenge, particularly when operating directly on high-dimensional pixel data. Researchers have been investigating ways to optimize latent space representations to improve efficiency without compromising image quality. A critical problem in diffusion models is…

Latent diffusion models are advanced techniques for generating high-resolution images by compressing visual data into a latent space using visual tokenizers. These tokenizers reduce computational demands while retaining essential details. However, such models suffer from a critical challenge: increasing the dimensions of the token feature increases reconstruction quality but decreases image generation quality. It thus…

Vision Transformers (ViTs) have become a cornerstone in computer vision, offering strong performance and adaptability. However, their large size and computational demands create challenges, particularly for deployment on devices with limited resources. Models like FLUX Vision Transformers, with billions of parameters, require substantial storage and memory, making them impractical for many use cases. These limitations…

Autoregressive (AR) models have changed the field of image generation, setting new benchmarks in producing high-quality visuals. These models break down the image creation process into sequential steps, each token generated based on prior tokens, creating outputs with exceptional realism and coherence. Researchers have widely adopted AR techniques for computer vision, gaming, and digital content…

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are advancing rapidly, enabling machines to interpret and reason about textual and visual data simultaneously. These models have transformative applications in image analysis, visual question answering, and multimodal reasoning. By bridging the gap between vision & language, they play a crucial role in improving artificial intelligence’s ability to understand and…

High-resolution, photorealistic image generation presents a multifaceted challenge in text-to-image synthesis, requiring models to achieve intricate scene creation, prompt adherence, and realistic detailing. Among current visual generation methodologies, scalability remains an issue for lowering computational costs and achieving accurate detail reconstructions, especially for the VAR models, which suffer further from quantization errors and suboptimal processing…
