Can We Build Scene Graphs, Not Classify Them? FlowSG: Progressive Image-Conditioned Scene Graph Generation with Flow Matching
把流匹配从图像生成迁移到结构化图输出:用连续速度场搬运框几何、用离散流更新类别 token,为视觉中「结构化预测当作生成任务」提供了可复用的混合离散-连续生成范式,且可插拔到现有检测器/分割器上。

Scene Graph Generation (SGG) unifies object localization and visual relationship reasoning by predicting boxes and subject-predicate-object triples. Yet most pipelines treat SGG as a one-shot, deterministic classification instead of a genuine progressive, generative task. We propose FlowSG, which recasts SGG as continuous-time transport on a hybrid discrete-continuous state: starting from a noised graph , the model progressively grows an image-conditioned scene graph through constraint-aware refinements that jointly synthesize nodes (objects) and edges (predicates). Specifically, we first leverage a VQ-VAE to quantize a scene graph (e.g., the continuous visual features) into compact, predictable tokens; a graph Transformer then (i) predicts a conditional velocity field to transport continuous geometry (boxes) and (ii) updates discrete posteriors for categorical tokens (object features and predicate labels), coupling semantics and geometry via flow-conditioned message aggregation. Training combines flow-matching losses for geometry with a discrete-flow objective for tokens, yielding few-step inference and plug-and-play compatibility with standard detectors/segmenters. Extensive experiments on VG and PSG under closed- and open-vocabulary protocols show consistent gains in predicate R/mR and graph-level metrics, validating the mixed discrete-continuous generative formulation over one-shot classification baselines, e.g., an average improvement of about 3 points over the SOTA USG-Par.
