Panoptic Scene Program Diffusion Transformer

arXiv:2609.31780v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern text-to-image models produce high-fidelity images but still struggle with compositional prompts that require instance identity, attribute ownership, counting, spatial ordering, and role-sensitive relations. We introduce Panoptic Scene Program Diffusion Transformer (PSP-DiT), a diffusion-transformer architecture that treats a panoptic scene program as a first-class latent variable rather than an external control signal or post-hoc parse. PSP-DiT jointly denoises image latents and scene-program latents through coupled transformer streams, while panoptic grounding and cycle-consistency objectives tie object instances, attributes, relations, and counts to visual support in the generated image. Under matched training and inference settings, PSP-DiT improves over a strong flat-text baseline across GenEval 2, SANEval-Simple, PSG-Score, and DetailMaster, with the largest gains on counting, attribute binding, role-sensitive relations, and long structured prompts. The method preserves image quality, adds modest inference overhead, and remains robust to imperfect scene programs.
