• Abstract: Recent text-to-image models have revolutionized image generation, but they still struggle with maintaining concept consistency across generated images. While existing works focus on character consistency, they often overlook the crucial role of scenes in storytelling, which restricts their creativity in practice. This paper introduces scene-oriented story generation, addressing two key challenges: (i) scene planning, where current methods fail to ensure scene-level narrative coherence by relying solely on text descriptions, and (ii) scene consistency, which remains largely unexplored in terms of maintaining scene consistency across multiple stories. We propose SceneDecorator, a training-free framework that employs VLM-Guided Scene Planning to ensure narrative coherence across different scenes in a ``global-to-local'' manner, and Long-Term Scene-Sharing Attention to maintain long-term scene consistency and subject diversity across generated stories. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of SceneDecorator, highlighting its potential to unleash creativity in the fields of arts, films, and games.

  Consistent text-to-image (T2I) generation often fails due to a phenomenon called identity (ID) shift.<n>This paper reveals that a key source of ID shift is the native correlation between subject and scene context.<n>We propose Scene De-Conization (SDeC) that imposes an inversion process of T2I's built-in scene contextualization.

Our method could be seamlessly integrated into mainstream Image Customization methods, empowering them with the capability of story visualization.

  We propose a novel autoregressive diffusion-based framework with a visual memory module that implicitly captures the actor and background context. Our method outperforms prior state-of-the-art in generating frames with high visual quality. Our experiments for story generation on the MUGEN, the PororoSV and the FlintstonesSV dataset show that our method not only outperforms prior state-of-the-art in generating frames with high visual quality, but also models appropriate correspondences between the characters and the background.
