TFANet: Three-Stage Image-Text Feature Alignment Network for Robust Referring Image Segmentation
Referring Image Segmentation (RIS) is a task that segments image regions based on language expressions, requiring fine-grained alignment between two modalities. However, existing methods often struggle with multimodal misalignment and language semantic loss, especially in complex scenes containing multiple visually similar objects, where uniquely described targets are frequently mislocalized or incompletely segmented. To tackle these challenges, this paper proposes TFANet, a Three-stage Image-T…

We just got about an inch or so of pea-sized hail in our neighborhood, and just over 1/2 inch of measured precip on my weather station at a rate of just under 2 inch/hour. That counts as a deluge in the high desert where we are in northern Colorado.

Layout-Conditioned Autoregressive Text-to-Image Generation via Structured Masking
While autoregressive (AR) models have demonstrated remarkable success in image generation, extending them to layout-conditioned generation remains challenging due to the sparse nature of layout conditions and the risk of feature entanglement. We present Structured Masking for AR-based Layout-to-Image (SMARLI), a novel framework for layoutto-image generation that effectively integrates spatial layout constraints into AR-based image generation. To equip AR model with layout control, a specially d…
