Medium	GrooveSquid.com (original content)	Medium Difficulty Summary Customized image generation is a crucial task in various applications, including storytelling, portrait generation, and character design. However, previous approaches have struggled to maintain consistent characters due to inadequate feature extraction and concept confusion of reference characters. To address this challenge, we propose Character-Adapter, a plug-and-play framework that generates images with high-fidelity consistency. Our approach employs prompt-guided segmentation for fine-grained regional features and dynamic region-level adapters to mitigate concept confusion. We conduct extensive experiments to validate the effectiveness of Character-Adapter, achieving state-of-the-art performance in consistent character generation with an improvement of 24.8% compared to other methods.
Low	GrooveSquid.com (original content)	Low Difficulty Summary Imagine being able to create custom images with specific characters or people. This is called customized image generation, and it’s useful for things like storytelling, making portraits, and designing characters. However, it’s been hard to do this well because previous methods had trouble keeping the characters looking consistent. To solve this problem, we created a new tool called Character-Adapter that can generate images with very accurate and consistent characters. We tested our tool and found that it works better than other methods by 24.8%. Our code will be available online for others to use.
