Abstract
Online product listings for garments often include an overview photo and a close-up to show garment details. However, each photo focuses on either field of view or garment detail, forcing users to alternate between views and breaking browsing continuity. We present GarmentZoom, a system that enhances the full-view photo to match the fidelity of its accompanying close-up, enabling seamless zoom-and-pan exploration. Unlike standard reference-based super-resolution, our setting involves close-up references that are spatially unaligned with the full view, and scale factors that vary substantially across garments 3-20×. Prior work typically relies on alignment to transfer details or requires per-instance fine-tuning to memorize them. Instead, we train a single model that supports a continuous range of scales across diverse garments. Our approach synthesizes details without requiring spatial alignment and matches the quality of per-instance methods with a fraction of the training cost.
Diffusion-based generative AI has achieved remarkable success in e-commerce applications such as virtual try-on, poster generation, and product background synthesis. However, when making online purchasing decisions for apparel, consumers also desire the freedom to examine specific detail regions of interest, such as collars, cuffs, and fabric textures, yet existing methods have not explicitly studied this setting. We therefore formalize a new, non-template task: Fashion Detail Generation with focus conditioning, and release FDBench, the first benchmark comprising 40K+ human-verified reference-detail pairs across 41 different categories. This task poses a unique semantic gap challenge: the model must bridge the correspondence between a focus marker on a product reference image and a photorealistic close-up view of the indicated region, while faithfully preserving the garment's identity, without any precise prompt. To bridge this gap, we propose Cross-modal Feature Alignment Distillation (CFAD), which leverages a fine-tuned DINOv3 teacher to align both branches of a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer in a shared semantic space via dual-branch distillation. To further improve consistency between generated details and reference images, we introduce a consistency reward model that jointly scores image pairs along three quality axes and optimizes generation via reinforcement learning. Experiments show that our model DetailAnywhere significantly outperforms all state-of-the-art opensource methods across all metrics and human evaluations.
We introduce MicroZoom, a generative framework for gigapixel image synthesis at the microscopic scale. Given a standard photograph and a sparse set of consumer-grade microscope close-ups, MicroZoom synthesizes a seamless, gigapixel-resolution image grounded in the material character of the real references, enabling exploratory visualization of microscopic texture across the full spatial extent of an object. Our goal is plausible synthesis, not exact reconstruction. We focus on full-image, reference-based, extreme-scale super-resolution at magnification levels of up to 350x, a setting that introduces two major challenges: (1) recovering texture-specific detail from highly lossy inputs near ambiguous material boundaries, and (2) preserving correct large-scale pattern structure, such as the repeating geometry of a fabric weave, across millions of local predictions. We address these with a two-stage cascaded design, where the first stage recovers global pattern coherence and the second refines local texture detail, supplemented by a segmentation mask to guide synthesis at ambiguous boundaries. We verify our approach on a collection of self-captured everyday objects and demonstrate globally coherent, materially grounded gigapixel imagery.
Virtual try-on (VTO) has made significant progress in realistically transferring garments onto a target person. Yet most systems give the user little control over how a garment should be worn -- its size (loose or fitted), style (e.g., tucked in or untucked, open or closed), and spatial placement on the body. We address this gap with two complementary contributions. First, we define and solve Visual-Instance-Prompt Segmentation via VIP-SAM: given a flatlay image of a garment, segment that specific instance in a photograph of a person wearing it. This is an instance-level task, distinct from the typically studied category-level segmentation. Second, we introduce CtrlVTON, a controllable VTO framework that recasts try-on as an image editing problem and adds segmentation masks as pixel-level control over garment layout, including style, size, and spatial placement on the body. VIP-SAM and CtrlVTON each achieve state-of-the-art results on their respective tasks. In particular, CtrlVTON generates images that follow user-provided layouts far more faithfully than the strongest proprietary editing systems while matching them on garment fidelity.
