Storynizor introduces a framework for consistent story generation, allowing multiple characters to maintain identity and appearance across a sequence of images while exhibiting diverse poses and distinct backgrounds. It achieves this by employing an ID-Synchronizer for inter-frame coherence and an ID-Injector for robust identity preservation, trained on the newly curated StoryDB dataset.

Key insights

  • Leveraging attention masks in a spatial self-attention mechanism (AMSA) effectively enforces character consistency across frames while allowing backgrounds to vary.
  • Applying a perceptual loss to cross-attention maps (MPL) refines character localization and enhances the disentanglement of foreground and background elements.
  • Randomly shuffling reference images of the same character ID during training (SRS) compels the model to learn pose-invariant identity features, leading to greater pose diversity.
