Abstract (arXiv)

Modern image generation and editing systems can produce photorealistic, prompt-aligned images, but still often render familiar objects at implausible relative sizes. To measure this failure mode, we introduce GenScale, a benchmark and evaluation protocol for real-world relative object scale in image generation and editing. GenScale contains 900 image-level entries and 1,643 pairwise anchor-target scale relations across common-object generation, human-product generation with metric dimensions, and scale correction from failed generations. We further design a human-calibrated ordinal judge for scalable pairwise scale evaluation. Last but not the least, we introduce Rescale, a model-agnostic post-processing agent for localized scale correction without modifying the source generator. Experiments reveal that state-of-the-art image generators and editors cannot reliably observe relative scale yet, while Rescale consistently improves scale plausibility across generated and edited images. Together, GenScale establishes relative object scale as a distinct, measurable, and actionable capability for image generation systems.
