TrioPose: Native Triple-Stream Diffusion Transformers for Pose-Guided Text-to-Image Generation

Abstract:Pose-guided text-to-image generation often suffers from limb distortions and feature crosstalk in complex multi-person scenarios. While existing UNet-based adapters struggle with long-range spatial dependencies, emerging Multimodal Diffusion Transformers (MM-DiTs) offer superior global modeling. However, naive signal concatenation in MM-DiTs severely disrupts pre-trained latent distributions. To address this, we propose TrioPose, a native pose-driven framework built upon the SD3.5M architecture. Specifically, we introduce a Triple-Stream Pose-Aware DiT (TSPA-DiT) that treats pose as an independent modality. It employs layer-wise activation and zero-initialized dual-residual injection to smoothly enforce geometric constraints while preserving pre-trained latent stability. To resolve severe multi-instance occlusions, we design a Learnable Relational Bias Mask that categorizes topological connectivity into fine-grained physical states, mapping them into continuous attention soft constraints to effectively decouple inter-instance interference. Furthermore, a Pose-Guided Spatial Loss Weighting strategy modulates the native diffusion objective using heatmap-derived error maps, focusing anatomical supervision strictly on distortion-prone regions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TrioPose achieves state-of-the-art performance across challenging benchmarks, including Human-Art, CrowdPose, and OCHuman. Notably, it attains an AP of $64.33$ on Human-Art, representing a $30\%$ improvement over prior arts, while setting new standards for visual fidelity and text-image semantic alignment in complex multi-human generation.
