  • 适合专业摄影与后期制作人员使用,提升图像可编辑性

一张照片始于光线击中传感器,信号经复杂的图像信号处理(ISP)流程生成显示参考图像。但这类图像已失真,动态范围被压缩且带有主观风格。相比之下,RAW图像记录的是传感器原始信号,经相机响应曲线校正与去马赛克后可转换为线性图像——一种直接反映真实辐照度的场景参考表示,不受传感器特性影响。由于传感器具有更高动态范围和位深,线性图像比显示参考图像包含更多信息,为后期编辑提供更多空间。然而,当前生成模型主要生成显示参考图像,限制了下游编辑能力。本文提出文本到线性图像生成任务:基于文本提示生成高质量、场景参考的线性图像,保留完整动态范围,用于专业后期处理。生成线性图像面临挑战,因预训练变分自编码器在潜空间扩散模型中难以同时保留极亮与极暗细节。为此,我们将线性图像表示为一系列曝光段,每段捕捉动态范围的一部分,并提出基于DiT的流匹配架构,实现文本条件下的曝光段生成。我们进一步展示了下游应用,包括文本引导的线性图像编辑及通过ControlNet实现结构约束生成。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The life of a photo begins with photons striking the sensor, whose signals are passed through a sophisticated image signal processing (ISP) pipeline to produce a display-referred image. However, such images are no longer faithful to the incident light, being compressed in dynamic range and stylized by subjective preferences. In contrast, RAW images record direct sensor signals before non-linear tone mapping. After camera response curve correction and demosaicing, they can be converted into linear images, which are scene-referred representations that directly reflect true irradiance and are invariant to sensor-specific factors. Since image sensors have better dynamic range and bit depth, linear images contain richer information than display-referred ones, leaving users more room for editing during post-processing. Despite this advantage, current generative models mainly synthesize display-referred images, which inherently limits downstream editing. In this paper, we address the task of text-to-linear-image generation: synthesizing a high-quality, scene-referred linear image that preserves full dynamic range, conditioned on a text prompt, for professional post-processing. Generating linear images is challenging, as pre-trained VAEs in latent diffusion models struggle to simultaneously preserve extreme highlights and shadows due to the higher dynamic range and bit depth. To this end, we represent a linear image as a sequence of exposure brackets, each capturing a specific portion of the dynamic range, and propose a DiT-based flow-matching architecture for text-conditioned exposure bracket generation. We further demonstrate downstream applications including text-guided linear image editing and structure-conditioned generation via ControlNet.
