Kingfisher: Fast Personalized Visual Autoregressive Generation via Scale-Aware Prompt-Conditioned Scale Decomposition

Abstract

Personalized image generation has been extensively studied in diffusion models, often relying on subject-specific optimization of model weights, textual embeddings, LoRA modules, or adapters. In this work, we explore a different direction for fast personalization in visual autoregressive models. Our key observation is that a short prefix of early autoregressive scale codes is sufficient to strongly determine both object structure and global appearance, while later scales primarily refine the established generation trajectory. Based on this insight, we introduce Kingfisher, a model-tuning-free framework that decomposes early residual scale codes into content- and style-related components through prompt-conditioned scale-code subspaces. Given two real images, Kingfisher first decomposes their early scale codes, then recomposes the content components of one image with the style components of the other into a compact semantic prefix. The frozen generator subsequently predicts the remaining scales through bitwise self-correction for coherent refinement. Experiments on CSD-100 show that Kingfisher achieves strong content preservation and the highest style and text alignment among the evaluated methods, while reducing pair-specific preparation time by approximately 54x compared with diffusion-based methods and 7.5x compared with VAR-based alternatives. These results demonstrate that effective personalization can be achieved by directly manipulating the native scale-space representation of a frozen visual autoregressive generator.

Referring Multi-Object Tracking with Diverse Dynamic Expressions

Referring understanding is a fundamental task that bridges natural language and visual content by localizing objects described in free-form expressions. However, existing works are constrained by limited language expressiveness, lacking the capacity to model object dynamics in spatial numbers and temporal states. To address these limitations, we introduce a new and general referring understanding task, termed referring multi-object tracking (RMOT). Its core idea is to employ a language expression as a semantic cue to guide the prediction of multi-object tracking, comprehensively accounting for variations in object quantity and temporal semantics. Along with RMOT, we introduce a RMOT benchmark named Refer-KITTI-V2, featuring scalable and diverse language expressions. To efficiently generate high-quality annotations covering object dynamics with minimal manual effort, we propose a semi-automatic labeling pipeline that formulates a total of 9,758 language prompts. In addition, we propose TempRMOT, an elegant end-to-end Transformer-based framework for RMOT. At its core is a query-driven Temporal Enhancement Module that represents each object as a Transformer query, enabling long-term spatial-temporal interactions with other objects and past frames to efficiently refine these queries. TempRMOT achieves state-of-the-art performance on both Refer-KITTI and Refer-KITTI-V2, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach.

RAD: A Realistic Multi-View Benchmark for Pose-Agnostic Anomaly Detection

Anomaly detection is essential for robotic perception and industrial inspection, yet most benchmarks are collected under controlled conditions with fixed viewpoints and stable illumination. These settings do not reflect robotic deployment, where camera pose, lighting, and surface reflectance vary continuously. We present RAD (Realistic Anomaly Detection), a robot-captured multi-view benchmark for pose-agnostic anomaly detection. RAD contains 4,047 RGB images from 13 everyday object categories, captured from 68 viewpoints per object with a Franka robotic arm and an RGB-D camera under uncontrolled lighting. The dataset covers four realistic defect types: scratched, missing, stained, and squeezed, with pixel-level annotations for localization. We benchmark representative 2D feature-based methods, 3D reconstruction pipelines, and vision-language models under a realistic setting in which test poses are unknown. Results show a clear gap between performance on conventional benchmarks and performance on RAD. Strong 2D feature-embedding methods remain the most reliable at image-level detection, whereas 3D approaches are more competitive for pixel-level localization but remain vulnerable to reflective materials, geometric symmetry, and sparse viewpoint coverage. Vision-language models perform poorly in both classification and localization. RAD provides a challenging testbed for robust robotic inspection and highlights open problems in jointly modeling appearance, geometry, and viewpoint uncertainty.

Paint Outside the Box: Synthesizing and Selecting Training Data for Visual Grounding

Visual grounding aims to localize the image regions based on a textual query. Given the difficulty of large-scale data curation, we investigate how to effectively learn visual grounding under data-scarce settings in this paper. To address the data scarcity, we propose a novel framework, POBF (Paint Outside the Box and Filter). POBF synthesizes images by inpainting outside the box, tackling a label misalignment issue encountered in previous works. Furthermore, POBF leverages an innovative filtering scheme to select the most effective training data. This scheme combines a hardness score and an overfitting score, balanced by a penalty term. Extensive experiments across four benchmark datasets demonstrate that POBF consistently improves performance, achieving an average gain of 5.83\% over the real-data-only method and outperforming leading baselines by 2.29\%-3.85\% in accuracy. Additionally, we validate the robustness and generalizability of POBF across various generative models, training data sizes, and model architectures.
