Chameleon: Style-Content Disentangled Framework for Cross-Domain Object Compositing

Image compositing aims to seamlessly insert a foreground object into a background image, and recent advances in diffusion models have significantly enhanced the quality, especially when the foreground and background images come from the same domain (e.g., natural images). However, cross-domain compositing, where the foreground and background come from different domains, is relatively underexplored and remains challenging because the model must preserve the foreground object's identity while stylizing it to match the background domain. Existing cross-domain compositing approaches largely rely on training-free blending and refinement strategies. This is partly due to the lack of large-scale paired datasets for cross-domain compositing, limiting the development of training-based solutions. As a result, they are limited to tone-level alignment and often produce style-inconsistent or overstylized results. To overcome such limitations, we construct ChameleonDataset, the first large-scale training dataset for cross-domain compositing, with a comprehensive evaluation benchmark, built through a scalable data construction pipeline. Building on this, we propose Chameleon, a novel two-stage training-based cross-domain compositing framework. In the first stage, we propose Signed Style-Content Graph Learning (SSCGL) to train ChameleonEncoder, which effectively disentangles style and content representations. In the second stage, we introduce Style Gap-Aware Anisotropic Modulation (SGAM) into a diffusion transformer for effective cross-domain compositing, adaptively regulating how style tokens from the first-stage ChameleonEncoder are injected according to the foreground-background style gap, spatial region, and diffusion timestep. Our method outperforms state-of-the-art in-domain and cross-domain compositing models, sequential pipelines and commercial models, achieving improvements in both compositional plausibility and stylistic fidelity.
