Abstract (arXiv)

VAR has gained widespread popularity due to its next-scale prediction paradigm. However, it faces substantial performance bottlenecks when handling complex scenes with multiple objects and attributes. Existing diffusion-based enhancement methods fail to adequately address the unique challenge of cross-scale error propagation and accumulation in VAR. To this end, we propose SynVAR, the first training-free enhancement framework specifically tailored for the VAR paradigm, which introduces a spatial-semantic collaborative control strategy to effectively suppress propagation error and improve generation quality. SynVAR comprises three key components: (1) Global guidance to ensure reasonable spatial structure in the early stages, (2) Receptive field constraints to mitigate early-stage semantic confusion, (3) High-frequency compensation to recover fine-grained details. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate the significant improvements in the ability of SynVAR to enhance the VAR's capability for complex scene modeling.
