DirectTryOn: One-Step Virtual Try-On via Straightened Conditional Transport

Recent diffusion- and flow-based VTON methods achieve strong results with pretrained generative models, but their reliance on multi-step sampling incurs high inference cost, while existing acceleration methods largely overlook the intrinsic structure of the try-on task. In this paper, we highlight a key observation: VTON outputs are highly constrained by the conditional inputs, suggesting that the conditional sampling trajectory can be much straighter than that in general image generation, making one-step generation a natural solution. However, limited task-specific data makes training from scratch impractical, forcing existing methods to fine-tune pretrained models whose objectives do not encourage such straight conditional trajectories. Thus, the deviation from an ideal straight path mainly comes from the mismatch between pretrained base models and the conditional nature of try-on generation, rather than from the task itself. Motivated by this insight, we encourage straighter VTON sampling trajectories through three targeted modifications: pure conditional transport, a garment preservation loss, and a self consistency loss. We further introduce a one-step distillation stage. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance with one-step sampling, establishing a new standard for efficient and high-quality VTON.

Towards Source-Aware Object Swapping with Initial Noise Perturbation

Object swapping aims to replace a source object in a scene with a reference object while preserving object fidelity, scene fidelity, and object-scene harmony. Existing methods either require per-object finetuning and slow inference or rely on extra paired data that mostly depict the same object across contexts, forcing models to rely on background cues rather than learning cross-object alignment. We propose SourceSwap, a self-supervised and source-aware framework that learns cross-object alignment. Our key insight is to synthesize high-quality pseudo pairs from any image via a frequency-separated perturbation in the initial-noise space, which alters appearance while preserving pose, coarse shape, and scene layout, requiring no videos, multi-view data, or additional images. We then train a dual U-Net with full-source conditioning and a noise-free reference encoder, enabling direct inter-object alignment, zero-shot inference without per-object finetuning, and lightweight iterative refinement. We further introduce SourceBench, a high-quality benchmark with higher resolution, more categories, and richer interactions. Experiments demonstrate that SourceSwap achieves superior fidelity, stronger scene preservation, and more natural harmony, and it transfers well to edits such as subject-driven refinement and face swapping.

VTONGuard: Automatic Detection and Authentication of AI-Generated Virtual Try-On Content

With the rapid advancement of generative AI, virtual try-on (VTON) systems are becoming increasingly common in e-commerce and digital entertainment. However, the growing realism of AI-generated try-on content raises pressing concerns about authenticity and responsible use. To address this, we present VTONGuard, a large-scale benchmark dataset containing over 775,000 real and synthetic try-on images. The dataset covers diverse real-world conditions, including variations in pose, background, and garment styles, and provides both authentic and manipulated examples. Based on this benchmark, we conduct a systematic evaluation of multiple detection paradigms under unified training and testing protocols. Our results reveal each method's strengths and weaknesses and highlight the persistent challenge of cross-paradigm generalization. To further advance detection, we design a multi-task framework that integrates auxiliary segmentation to enhance boundary-aware feature learning, achieving the best overall performance on VTONGuard. We expect this benchmark to enable fair comparisons, facilitate the development of more robust detection models, and promote the safe and responsible deployment of VTON technologies in practice.
