Think, Plan, Paint: Layout-Aware Reasoning for Controllable Image Generation in Unified Models

arXiv:2607. 16409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer a promising paradigm for unifying visual understanding and generation, yet they still struggle to follow complex spatial instructions and logical constraints in controllable image generation.

Object-Uni: A Unified Model for Object-Centric Spatial Understanding and Controllable Generation

Object-Uni is a unified model that integrates pose perception, spatial reasoning, pose-conditioned generation, and novel view synthesis for object-centric spatial understanding and controllable image generation. It treats object pose as an explicit geometric variable shared across tasks and introduces a viewpoint-based orientation abstraction to make pose interpretable by multimodal large language models. The authors also create a new benchmark, UniSpatial-80K, and demonstrate that Object‑Uni improves both pose understanding and pose‑controllable generation compared to existing models.

DepthEvidence: Unifying Metric Depth Prediction and Geometric Reasoning in Multimodal Language Models

DepthEvidence is a 4B multimodal language model that integrates dense metric depth predictions into language generation. It employs a camera‑conditioned decoder to produce full‑resolution depth maps and a dense‑to‑language interface that converts these predictions into object‑aligned geometry tokens. The model is trained with geometric supervision and instruction tuning, and it sets new state‑of‑the‑art results on a Depth‑VQA benchmark and on instance‑level metric depth estimation across nine datasets.

Reasoning with Image Generation

The paper introduces ReImaGin, a method that uses image generation models as a flexible visual reasoning tool for multimodal large language models. Unlike traditional fixed-function vision tools, ReImaGin accepts natural language commands and can perform open-ended visual operations such as removing occlusions or creating floorplans from multiple views. Experiments on six diverse visual reasoning tasks show that ReImaGin outperforms both text-only reasoning and specialist vision-tool baselines, achieving up to a 25% improvement.

ScenePilot: Grow-and-Repair Policy for Text-Driven 3D Indoor Scene Generation

ScenePilot introduces a retrieval‑augmented Grow‑and‑Repair framework for text‑driven 3D indoor scene generation. It uses a Hierarchical Retrieval‑Augmented Planning module to fetch room, group, and anchor layout priors, then incrementally inserts object groups with a base generator, while a Reinforcement Multimodal Repair module performs lightweight local corrections after each insertion and a final global repair. The approach is trained on a new SceneReverse‑17k dataset of perturbed scenes, enabling the policy to predict structured move‑rotate‑scale actions from rendered views, scene state, retrieved priors, and edit history, thereby improving physical plausibility, functional coherence, and controllability without heavy full‑scene optimization.
