Autoregressive (AR) image generation has recently emerged as a powerful paradigm for image synthesis. Leveraging the generation principle of large language models, they allow for efficiently generating deceptively real-looking images,…
The purpose of binary segmentation models is to determine which pixels belong to an object of interest (e.g., which pixels in an image are part of roads). The models assign a logit score (i.e., probability) to each pixel and these are…
