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.
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.

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.

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.
