Abstract

Camouflage image generation (CIG) focuses on generating visually concealed objects that seamlessly blend into their backgrounds. Existing methods typically follow either background-guided paradigms that adapt object appearance via style transfer, or foreground-guided strategies that outpaint surrounding regions conditioned on object features. However, they still suffer from appearance discrepancy and background artifacts. We attribute these limitations to cross-context representation leakage, where object and background cues are entangled in a coupled conditional space, resulting in ambiguous control and degraded camouflage fidelity. To tackle this, we propose a new context-decoupled generative paradigm, termed CamoDreamer, which aims to isolate contextual conditional guidance and explicitly decouple latent camouflage features into coordinated object and background control streams. First, a Contrast-aware Contextual Bridge is designed to model cross-context discrepancies and construct contrast-aware dual conditional guidance. Second, Context-Decoupled Assimilation Streams are employed to separate generative interactions conditioned on the dual guidance, while facilitating background rendering with target-aware cues in the latent space. Finally, a Frequency-Adaptive Contextual Blend module integrates complementary high-frequency textures and low-frequency structures from decoupled features to improve holistic coherence. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CamoDreamer consistently outperforms existing methods with a substantial margin, while maintaining a relatively lightweight design.
