arXiv:2607. 16294v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Paired image-to-image translation underpins a wide range of computer vision tasks, including image editing, sensor translation, and domain adaptation.
Semantically Aligned Gradient-Driven Context-Preserving Image Editing (IABEdit) is a model‑agnostic framework that embeds differentiable semantic verification into the training of generative image editors. By using a frozen vision‑language model to extract spatially‑aware descriptors from ground‑truth edits and a trainable aligner to reproduce them from generated outputs, the residual becomes a gradient that teaches the generator both what to edit and where, without adding inference‑time VLM cost. IABEdit is compatible with various backbones (e.g., U‑Net in Stable Diffusion and MMDiT in FLUX) and improves structural fidelity on MagicBrush, achieves state‑of‑the‑art instruction adherence on RealEdit and EMU Edit, and outperforms the proprietary Gemini agent on the D‑LORD surveillance benchmark under heavy occlusion. "whyItMatters":"IABEdit demonstrates that incorporating semantic verification during training can produce more accurate, well‑localized edits and outperform existing methods even in challenging surveillance scenarios, as shown by its superior metrics and human/GPT‑4o evaluations."
The paper introduces a high‑resolution Rectified Flow Matching model trained on 256×256 chest CT images to serve as a generative prior for CT reconstruction. A two‑stage training strategy—initial strong anatomically informed augmentation followed by fine‑tuning—helps mitigate overfitting and improve structural fidelity. When evaluated on various CT inverse problems, Flow Matching‑based reconstruction methods outperform diffusion‑based algorithms in PSNR, SSIM, and perceptual quality while requiring fewer sampling steps.

Unified image restoration (UIR) aims to recover high-quality (HQ) content from low-quality (LQ) images with different degradations using a single model. Most recent methods adapt large pretrained text-to-image (T2I) latent diffusion models for their strong capacity and generative priors.
arXiv:2608. 08135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modality medical image translation can reduce the burden of multi-modal acquisitions, yet the field remains constrained by two coupled limitations: methods operate on 2D slices or 3D patches rather than whole volumes, and train a separate model for each translation task.
