RINO: Unifying Vision Understanding and Generation with RGB
cihangxie · x · 2026-07-19
RINO proposes unifying 'visual understanding' and 'image generation' into RGB-to-RGB translation.
- Core idea: Instead of training separately for each task, reuse a frozen image editing model.
- It can map input images to intermediate representations like depth, mask, pose, and edges, then convert these representations back to natural images.
- The author argues that this approach can cover both recognition and generation capabilities without task-specific training.
