摘要
Flow matching models have emerged as a powerful framework for realistic image generation by learning to reverse a corruption process that progressively adds Gaussian noise. However, because noise is injected in the latent domain, its impact on different frequency components is non-uniform. As a result, during inference, flow matching models tend to generate low-frequency components (global structure) in the early stages, while high-frequency components (fine details) emerge only later in the reverse process. Building on this insight, we propose Frequency-Aware Flow Matching (FreqFlow), a novel approach that explicitly incorporates frequency-aware conditioning into the flow matching framework via time-dependent adaptive weighting. We introduce a two-branch architecture: (1) a frequency branch that separately processes low- and high-frequency components to capture global structure and refine textures and edges, and (2) a spatial branch that synthesizes images in the latent domain, guided by the frequency branch's output. By explicitly integrating frequency information into the generation process, FreqFlow ensures that both large-scale coherence and fine-grained details are effectively modeled--low-frequency conditioning reinforces global structure, while high-frequency conditioning enhances texture fidelity and detail sharpness. On the class-conditional ImageNet-256 generation benchmark, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance with an FID of 1.38, surpassing the prior diffusion model DiT and flow matching model SiT by 0.79 and 0.58 FID, respectively. Code is available at https://github.com/OliverRensu/FreqFlow.
