First output, default settings, "modern" style. Drag to compare. 5 of 10 rooms tested so far; pick a room below.
OriginalStaged
Original photo: SmashingIt99, CC0
Room 01 note. Lowest architecture drift on room 01 and kept the frame. Removed the chair that was already in the room (allowed: it is furniture). Output is slightly smaller than the original (1200x896 vs 1280x960).
Realism, room 01 · editor rating 4.2 / 5
Editor ratings, not automated scores: one person looked at the staged image next to the original and rated each point 1-5 (not blind). Blind ratings come later.
More rooms tested
5 of 10 rooms done for Collov AI. Same settings as room 01. Not part of the room 01 leaderboard. Partial results.
Room 02 · room with doorway
Framing pass| Architecture drift | 24.1 / 100 · raw 26.1 |
|---|---|
| Time to result | 19.8 s |
| Watermark | Yes: big central collov.ai logo |
| Output | 1195x896 (original 1280x960) |
| Realism (editor) | 3.8 / 5 |
Note. Framing passes. Removed the desk and book piles (clutter, allowed) and also furnished the room seen through the doorway.
Room 03 · room passage desk
Framing pass| Architecture drift | 21.7 / 100 · raw 22.4 |
|---|---|
| Time to result | 18.6 s |
| Watermark | Yes: big central collov.ai logo |
| Output | 1195x896 (original 1280x960) |
| Realism (editor) | 4.0 / 5 |
Note. Framing passes. Replaced the original desk and chair with its own; staged the next room as well.
Room 04 · attic odd windows
Framing unknown (alignment failed)| Architecture drift | 56.5 / 100 (unaligned, alignment failed) · raw 56.5 |
|---|---|
| Time to result | 22.0 s |
| Watermark | Yes: big central collov.ai logo |
| Output | 1488x718 (original 1920x926) |
| Realism (editor) | 3.8 / 5 |
Note. Alignment failed under method v0.2 (21 inlier matches, 25 needed), so framing is unknown and the 56.5 drift is unaligned. Collov removed almost everything in the left half and the white walls have few features (164 keypoints), so all matches sit on the skylights and right wall. A diagnostic re-run with a looser SIFT ratio (0.8, 26 inliers) lines the pillars and skylights up and gives zoom 0.986 (about 1.5% zoomed out), +21 px shift, +0.31° rotation and about 3% newly drawn area at the left: framing would fail, and aligned drift would be 22.2. The output is 1488x718, the same 2.07:1 shape as the 1920x926 original, so it is downscaled, not cropped. The diagnostic is not an official v0.2 score.
Room 05 · bay window fireplace
Framing pass| Architecture drift | 21.4 / 100 · raw 22.3 |
|---|---|
| Time to result | about 24-30 s |
| Watermark | Yes: big central collov.ai logo |
| Output | 1180x912 (original 1920x1484) |
| Realism (editor) | 3.0 / 5 |
Note. Framing passes and drift is low (21.4) because the automatic check only looks at the top 65% of the frame. It misses the biggest change: the two steps up to the bay are gone. Misrepresentation risk.
