• Authors: Shivangi Aneja and Soham Mazumder
• Abstract summary: In image editing, the most common task is pasting objects from one image to the other and then adjusting the manifestation of the foreground object with the background object. To achieve this, we are using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANS) GANS is able to decode the color histogram of the foreground and background part of the image and also learns to blend the foreground object with the background.

• Abstract: In image editing, the most common task is pasting objects from one image to the other and then eventually adjusting the manifestation of the foreground object with the background object. This task is called image compositing. But image compositing is a challenging problem that requires professional editing skills and a considerable amount of time. Not only these professionals are expensive to hire, but the tools (like Adobe Photoshop) used for doing such tasks are also expensive to purchase making the overall task of image compositing difficult for people without this skillset. In this work, we aim to cater to this problem by making composite images look realistic. To achieve this, we are using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANS). By training the network with a diverse range of filters applied to the images and special loss functions, the model is able to decode the color histogram of the foreground and background part of the image and also learns to blend the foreground object with the background. The hue and saturation values of the image play an important role as discussed in this paper. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that uses GANs for the task of image compositing. Currently, there is no benchmark dataset available for image compositing. So we created the dataset and will also make the dataset publicly available for benchmarking. Experimental results on this dataset show that our method outperforms all current state-of-the-art methods.

  In this work, we focus on generating plausible shadow for the inserted foreground object to make the composite image more realistic. To supplement the existing small-scale dataset DESOBA, we create a large-scale dataset called DESOBAv2.

  Foreground object search (FOS) aims to find compatible foreground objects for a given background image. We observe that competitive retrieval performance could be achieved by using a discriminator to predict the compatibility of composite image. We propose a novel FOS method via distilling composite feature (DiscoFOS)

  This work studies a new image inpainting task, i.e. shape-guided object inpainting. We propose a new data preparation method and a novel Contextual Object Generator (CogNet) for the object inpainting task. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can generate realistic objects that fit the context in terms of both visual appearance and semantic meanings.

• Deep Image Compositing [93.75358242750752]
  We propose a new method which can automatically generate high-quality image composites without any user input. Inspired by Laplacian pyramid blending, a dense-connected multi-stream fusion network is proposed to effectively fuse the information from the foreground and background images. Experiments show that the proposed method can automatically generate high-quality composites and outperforms existing methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.
