Summary

Recent breakthroughs in generative modelling, particularly diffusion models, generative adversarial networks (GANs), and large-scale vision–language models, have significantly advanced the field of image generation. These developments have unlocked unprecedented capabilities in synthesizing high-fidelity, diverse, and controllable images, enabling transformative applications in computer vision, digital media, medical imaging, and scientific visualization.

This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to share the latest theoretical insights, algorithmic innovations, and application-driven studies in image generation. We particularly welcome works that bridge foundational models with domain-specific challenges, explore multimodal conditioning mechanisms, and address issues such as controllability, fairness, interpretability, and robustness in generative systems.

Suggested Themes include:
· Diffusion models, GANs, and transformer-based generative architectures
· Multimodal and cross-domain image synthesis (e.g., text-to-image, sketch-to-image)
· Controllable and editable image generation methods
· Generative models for medical and scientific imaging
· Robustness, fairness, and interpretability in generative systems
· Efficient training and deployment of large-scale generative models

    Abstract Satellite remote sensing images pose significant challenges for object detection due to their high resolution, complex scenes, and large variations in target scales. To address the insufficient detection accuracy of the YOLOv11n model in remote sensing imagery, this paper proposes two improvement strategies. Method 1: (a) a Large Separable Kernel Attention (LSKA) mechanism is introduced into the backbone network to enhance feature extraction for small objects; (b) a Gold-YOLO structure is incorporated into the neck network to achieve multi-scale feature fusion, thereby improving the detection performance of objects at different scales. Method 2: (a) the More >
