GenSplatCodec: Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting Compression via One-Step Diffusion
Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables scalable scene reconstruction without per-scene optimization, yet produces dense Gaussians that are costly to store and transmit. Existing feed-forward Gaussian compression methods formulate decoding as deterministic representation recovery, which becomes inadequate at low bitrates when high-frequency textures and view-dependent appearance are discarded. Although generative models offer a promising alternative, using them as standalone post-processing decouples generation from the transmitted scene structure, thereby compromising cross-view consistency. To address these limitations, we propose GenSplatCodec, a unified feed-forward Gaussian codec that reformulates low-bitrate Gaussian compression as geometry-guided generative decoding. We present a detail-aware feed-forward Gaussian coding scheme within a dual-stream formulation, where the resulting compact Gaussian structural stream is complemented by a lightweight reference appearance stream. We further introduce a geometry-guided one-step generative decoding approach that jointly exploits decoded structural and appearance cues through hierarchical geometry control to reconstruct high-fidelity and view-consistent novel views. Finally, we develop a three-stage optimization strategy that stabilizes the learning of the unified codec and adapts the generative decoder to codec-derived structural and appearance cues. Extensive experiments across multiple datasets demonstrate that GenSplatCodec consistently achieves superior rate-distortion (RD) performance over existing methods.
Agentic Retoucher for Text-To-Image Generation
Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models such as SDXL and FLUX have achieved impressive photorealism, yet small-scale distortions remain pervasive in limbs, face, text and so on. Existing refinement approaches either perform costly iterative re-generation or rely on vision-language models (VLMs) with weak spatial grounding, leading to semantic drift and unreliable local edits. To close this gap, we propose Agentic Retoucher, a hierarchical decision-driven framework that reformulates post-generation correction as a human-like perception-reasoning-action loop. Specifically, we design (1) a perception agent that learns contextual saliency for fine-grained distortion localization under text-image consistency cues, (2) a reasoning agent that performs human-aligned inferential diagnosis via progressive preference alignment, and (3) an action agent that adaptively plans localized inpainting guided by user preference. This design integrates perceptual evidence, linguistic reasoning, and controllable correction into a unified, self-corrective decision process. To enable fine-grained supervision and quantitative evaluation, we further construct GenBlemish-27K, a dataset of 6K T2I images with 27K annotated artifact regions across 12 categories. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Agentic Retoucher consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in perceptual quality, distortion localization and human preference alignment, establishing a new paradigm for self-corrective and perceptually reliable T2I generation.
