SEAL: Semantic-aware Single-image Sticker Personalization with a Large-scale Sticker-tag Dataset

Synthesizing a target concept from a single reference image is challenging in diffusion-based personalized text-to-image generation, particularly for sticker personalization where prompts often require explicit attribute edits. With only one reference, test-time fine-tuning (TTF) methods tend to overfit, producing \textit{visual entanglement}, where background artifacts are absorbed into the learned concept, and \textit{structural rigidity}, where the model memorizes reference-specific spatial configurations and loses contextual controllability. To address these issues, we introduce \textbf{SE}mantic-aware single-image sticker person\textbf{AL}ization (\textbf{SEAL}), a plug-and-play, architecture-agnostic adaptation module that integrates into existing personalization pipelines without modifying their U-Net-based diffusion backbones. SEAL applies three components during embedding adaptation: (1) a Semantic-guided Spatial Attention Loss, (2) a Split-merge Token Strategy, and (3) Structure-aware Layer Restriction. To support sticker-domain personalization with attribute-level control, we present StickerBench, a large-scale sticker image dataset with structured tags under a six-attribute schema (Appearance, Emotion, Action, Camera Composition, Style, Background). These annotations provide a consistent interface for varying context while keeping target identity fixed, enabling systematic evaluation of identity disentanglement and contextual controllability. Experiments show that SEAL consistently improves identity preservation while maintaining contextual controllability, highlighting the importance of explicit spatial and structural constraints during test-time adaptation. The code, StickerBench, and project page will be publicly released.

AceVFI: A Comprehensive Survey of Advances in Video Frame Interpolation

Video Frame Interpolation (VFI) is a core low-level vision task that synthesizes intermediate frames between existing ones while ensuring spatial and temporal coherence. Over the past decades, VFI methodologies have evolved from classical motion compensation-based approach to a wide spectrum of deep learning-based approaches, including kernel-, flow-, hybrid-, phase-, GAN-, Transformer-, Mamba-, and most recently, diffusion-based models. We introduce AceVFI, a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the VFI field, covering over 250 representative papers. We systematically categorize VFI methods based on their core design principles and architectural characteristics. Further, we classify them into two major learning paradigms: Center-Time Frame Interpolation (CTFI) and Arbitrary-Time Frame Interpolation (ATFI). We analyze key challenges in VFI, including large motion, occlusion, lighting variation, and non-linear motion. In addition, we review standard datasets, loss functions, evaluation metrics. We also explore VFI applications in other domains and highlight future research directions. This survey aims to serve as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners seeking a thorough understanding of the modern VFI landscape.

MoCHA-former: Moiré-Conditioned Hybrid Adaptive Transformer for Video Demoiréing

Recent advances in portable imaging have made camera-based screen capture ubiquitous. Unfortunately, frequency aliasing between the camera's color filter array (CFA) and the display's sub-pixels induces moiré patterns that severely degrade captured photos and videos. Although various demoiréing models have been proposed to remove such moiré patterns, these approaches still suffer from several limitations: (i) spatially varying artifact strength within a frame, (ii) large-scale and globally spreading structures, (iii) channel-dependent statistics and (iv) rapid temporal fluctuations across frames. We address these issues with the Moiré Conditioned Hybrid Adaptive Transformer (MoCHA-former), which comprises two key components: Decoupled Moiré Adaptive Demoiréing (DMAD) and Spatio-Temporal Adaptive Demoiréing (STAD). DMAD separates moiré and content via a Moiré Decoupling Block (MDB) and a Detail Decoupling Block (DDB), then produces moiré-adaptive features using a Moiré Conditioning Block (MCB) for targeted restoration. STAD introduces a Spatial Fusion Block (SFB) with window attention to capture large-scale structures, and a Feature Channel Attention (FCA) to model channel dependence in RAW frames. To ensure temporal consistency, MoCHA-former performs implicit frame alignment without any explicit alignment module. We analyze moiré characteristics through qualitative and quantitative studies, and evaluate on two video datasets covering RAW and sRGB domains. MoCHA-former consistently surpasses prior methods across PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS.
