The paper introduces a benchmark and evaluation system for measuring how well generative image models preserve the identity of a subject across generation, editing, restoration, and multi‑subject scenarios. It compares three paradigms—input context, trainable subject‑specific parameters, and a persistent identity layer—showing that persistent identity consistently improves fidelity while keeping image quality and instruction adherence high. The study finds that identity preservation remains a distinct limitation of current foundation models, especially under iterative edits, small scales, severe degradation, and multi‑subject composition.

Identity-preserving image generation becomes increasingly unreliable when a scene must contain many specified people. Beyond retaining each identity, the model must bind every reference to a distinct person and location, while training-time identity losses must establish correspondence among several noisy predicted faces.
CogCanvas is a new benchmark for multi-subject reference-based image generation, featuring 1,952 curated reference images of 100 celebrities, 115 objects/fashion items, and 29 real-world backgrounds. It generates 1,361 compositional prompts with 2–5 people, using a pipeline that includes DINOv2 deduplication, aesthetic filtering, and automated graph derivation for interaction and positioning. The benchmark evaluates three tasks—reference-based multi-human-object generation, text-to-image compositional generation, and reference retrieval—under a six-axis protocol, and introduces BG‑Sim and Attr‑VQA metrics to assess background fidelity and attribute binding.

Generating and editing a person's face demands high precision, as even minor modifications can significantly alter a subject's perceived identity. Current personalization and editing methods built on general-purpose text-to-image models, however, often lack the precision required for fine-grained facial edits.
