LiWi: Layering in the Wild

Recent advances in generative models have empowered impressive layered image generation, yet their success is largely confined to graphic design domains. The layering of in-the-wild images remains an underexplored problem, limiting fine-grained editing and applications of images in real-world scenarios. Specifically, challenges remain in scalable layered data and the modeling of object interaction in natural images, such as illumination effects and structural boundary. To address these bottlenecks, we propose a novel framework for high-fidelity natural image decomposition. First, we introduce an Agent-driven Data Decomposition (ADD) pipeline that orchestrates agents and tools to synthesize layered data without manual intervention. Utilizing this pipeline, we construct a large-scale dataset, named LiWi-100k, with over 100,000 high-quality layered in-the-wild images. Second, we present a novel framework that jointly improves photometric fidelity and alpha boundary accuracy. Specifically, shadow-guided learning explicitly models the illumination effects, and degradation-restoration objective provides boundary-correction supervision by recovering clean foreground image from degraded one. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework achieves state-of-the-art (SoTA) performance in natural image decomposition, outperforming existing models in RGB L1 and Alpha IoU metrics. We will soon release our code and dataset.

Fashion130K: An E-commerce Fashion Dataset for Outfit Generation with Unified Multi-modal Condition

Recent research work on fashion outfit generation focuses on promoting visual consistency of garments by leveraging key information from reference image and text prompt. However, the potential of outfit generation remains underexplored, requiring comprehensive e-commercial dataset and elaborative utilization of multi-modal condition. In this paper, we propose a brand-new e-commerce dataset, named Fashion130k, with various occasions, models, and garment types. For the consistent generation of garment, we design a framework with Unified Multi-modal Condition (UMC) to align and integrate the text and visual prompts into generation model. Specifically, we explore an embedding refiner to extract the unified embeddings of multi-modal prompts, within which a Fusion Transformer is proposed to align the multi-modal embeddings by adjusting the modality gap between text and image. Based on unified embeddings, the attention in generation model is redesigned to emphasis the correlations between prompts and noise image, inducing that the noise image can select the pivotal tokens of prompts for consistent outfit generation. Our dataset and proposed framework offer a general and nuanced exploration of multi-modal prompts for generation models. Extensive experiments on real-world applications and benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of UMC in visual consistency, achieving promising result than that of SoTA methods.
