arXiv:2606. 11670v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Subject-preserving video generation is not solved by frontal-face similarity alone: a generated person must remain recognizable across motion, large viewpoint changes, expression shifts, occlusion, scale variation, and conflicts among text, first-frame, and identity references.

Makeup-transfer applies the reference makeup to the source face while preserving the source identity. Despite advances in full-face editing by diffusion-based methods, strong regional controllability, makeup fidelity, and identity preservation remain challenging.
Video face restoration (VFR) aims to recover high-quality and temporally consistent facial details from severely degraded video sequences; however, existing methods still struggle to balance spatial fidelity and temporal coherence under complex degradations. To address this, we propose FADRA, a frequency-aware diffusion framework with iterative residual adaptation specifically tailored for robust VFR.
arXiv:2606. 14732v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive video diffusion models enable streaming generation but often degrade over long rollouts: static scene layouts drift, while mechanisms that improve spatial stability tend to suppress motion, causing natural flows such as water, fire, or smoke to stagnate.

Current identity customized video generation methodologies are predominantly limited to single-identity scenarios, as the lack of explicit identity separation mechanisms often leads to identity confusion in multi-identity settings. Existing multi-identity approaches, which directly extend single-identity frameworks by concatenating face images as input conditions, frequently result in unnatural facial expressions and motions, manifesting as the "copy-paste" phenomenon.
