Reference-based diffusion stylization requires separating target geometry from transferable appearance. Existing tuning-based methods often rely on aligned content-style-target triplets or auxiliary visual encoders, which increases data cost and can transfer unintended scene structure from the style reference.
SafeStyle is a training‑free framework that injects calibrated style residuals into frozen diffusion models for reference‑guided stylization. It estimates style‑supported and content‑associated subspaces from small calibration sets, then transports purified style evidence across adaptive spatial granularity while limiting its influence with a residual‑norm budget. Experiments on texture‑ and geometry‑dominant styles show high DINO style similarity (0.432–0.474) with minimal semantic leakage (0.8%).

MAST (Mask‑Guided Attention Control for Training‑Free Regional‑Multi Style Transfer) is a framework that enables diffusion models to apply multiple reference styles to user‑specified regions of a content image without any training or optimization. It introduces logit‑level attention mass allocation, sharpness‑aware temperature scaling, and discrepancy‑aware detail injection to address mass allocation, selectivity, and detail loss problems in regional‑multi style transfer. Experiments with two to five styles show that MAST outperforms baselines in ArtFID, FID, and R‑FID, achieving high regional style fidelity, content preservation, and scalability.
LociArt introduces a unified framework for free‑style local video stylization, allowing precise specification of where to stylize and which style to apply while preserving non‑target content. The core method, GRNStyle, builds on Generative Refinement Networks and uses a polar style‑aware mask to embed style identities as equal‑norm directions within selected regions. An automated pipeline generates paired supervision, leading to the LociArt‑100K dataset and benchmark, which evaluate regional style quality, non‑target preservation, and temporal consistency, and experiments show GRNStyle outperforms existing methods in these aspects.
ContextAnyone is a context‑aware diffusion framework that treats a reference image as an explicitly preserved appearance anchor rather than a simple conditioning signal. By jointly reconstructing the reference image and generating the target video within a shared diffusion transformer, it provides direct supervision for maintaining identity and fine‑grained appearance throughout denoising. The method introduces asymmetric information flow and Gap‑RoPE positional representations to keep the reference stable while allowing selective access by video tokens, and demonstrates improved identity and appearance consistency on an OpenVid‑HD benchmark.
