DualCast: Dual-Image Conditioned Diffusion Transformers for Digital Human E-Commerce Video Generation

arXiv:2611.05825v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Digital human e-commerce video generation requires preserving product appearance, human identity, and overall video style during dynamic demonstrations. Although recent models support multiple reference images, their general conditioning schemes do not explicitly distinguish the asymmetric roles of "what is presented" and "who presents it." Consequently, generated videos may favor a single reference, resulting in product distortion, identity drift, or single-reference collapse. To address this issue, we propose DualCast, a role-addressed dual-image conditioning framework for video generation. By explicitly modeling the distinct roles of product and human conditions, DualCast reduces role ambiguity and feature competition between references. First, a dual-spatiotemporal slot injection mechanism VAE-encodes the product and human images separately and places their latent features at the front and rear boundaries of the DiT sequence, enabling sequence-level condition separation and directed injection. Second, a mask-guided region-weighted loss strengthens supervision over product, face, and product-face overlap regions, improving generation fidelity in critical areas. Third, image condition dropout enables a single model to support dual-image, product-only, and human-only generation. In addition, we construct a curated dataset of 10K e-commerce videos for model training. Experimental results demonstrate the strong performance of DualCast.
