SEGA (Spectral-Energy Guided Attention) is a research method for resolution extrapolation in diffusion transformers (DiTs). It lets a pretrained text-to-image DiT generate images well beyond its training resolution, up to about 36 megapixels, without retraining or adding learned parameters. The paper is from Rajabi, Shaban, Roohi, Lindell and Taati and is listed for NeurIPS 2026.
At each denoising step, SEGA takes an FFT of the current latent to estimate spatial-frequency energy. It maps that energy onto the RoPE dimensions, which encode specific spatial frequencies, and rescales attention per dimension. Low-energy bands get stronger scaling to recover under-resolved structure, and high-energy bands get weaker scaling to avoid over-amplification. Earlier training-free approaches apply a uniform, content-agnostic scaling, which trades global structure against fine detail.
The project page compares SEGA with YaRN, DyPE and UltraImage at 4096×4096 on Flux and Qwen-Image. A YouTube creator reported that code was released for Flux 1 and Qwen Image, but no repository link appeared in the provided material. It is a technique for people who run these diffusion models, not a standalone product or hosted service.
- Training-free: no retraining and no new networks or learned parameters
- Content-aware attention scaling computed from the latent's FFT spectrum at each denoising step
- Maps spectral energy to individual RoPE dimensions
- Generates up to roughly 36 megapixels
- Demonstrated on Flux and Qwen-Image against YaRN, DyPE and UltraImage
