Amplify What You Gaze At: Target Saliency Boosting in Text-to-Image Generation
Text-to-image generation has advanced in controlling what, where, and how objects appear, yet how visual attention is distributed among objects remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we introduce Target Saliency Boosting, a new task aimed at boosting the visual saliency of a specific object during text-to-image generation without requiring any visual priors. Our key insight is that visual saliency is inherently relative: boosting the saliency of a target object also depends on the global saliency distribution across all objects in the scene. Based on this insight, we propose GazeME, a lightweight framework that uses saliency-marked prompts, inserting learnable marker tokens around obj...
