MorphSIG: Subject-Driven Image Generation via Decoupled Anchoring and Feature Transport

We propose MorphSIG, a training-free framework that reformulates subject-driven image generation (SIG) as pseudo-video feature transport. MorphSIG contains two core modules: Progressive Decoupled Anchoring, which uses frequency-domain decoupling and structural scrambling during early denoising to break structural locking and enable a gradual transition from free composition to identity alignment; and Pseudo-flow Guided Feature Transport, which constructs a latent-space pseudo-flow field to mimic Image-to-Video temporal coherence and transport subject semantics precisely. To address stylistic homogeneity and the lack of ground truth in existing benchmarks, we further introduce a benchmark with diverse stylized subjects. Extensive experiments show that MorphSIG significantly improves pose diversity and subject fidelity over baselines without additional training. Overall, MorphSIG bridges static generation and dynamic propagation, providing a cost-effective paradigm for high-fidelity subject consistency.

Abstract

We propose MorphSIG, a training-free framework that reformulates subject-driven image generation (SIG) as pseudo-video feature transport. MorphSIG contains two core modules: Progressive Decoupled Anchoring, which uses frequency-domain decoupling and structural scrambling during early denoising to break structural locking and enable a gradual transition from free composition to identity alignment; and Pseudo-flow Guided Feature Transport, which constructs a latent-space pseudo-flow field to mimic Image-to-Video temporal coherence and transport subject semantics precisely. To address stylistic homogeneity and the lack of ground truth in existing benchmarks, we further introduce a benchmark with diverse stylized subjects. Extensive experiments show that MorphSIG significantly improves pose diversity and subject fidelity over baselines without additional training. Overall, MorphSIG bridges static generation and dynamic propagation, providing a cost-effective paradigm for high-fidelity subject consistency.
