• Abstract: We propose a method to extrapolate a 360{\deg} field of view from a single image that allows for user-controlled synthesis of the out-painted content. To do so, we propose improvements to an existing GAN-based in-painting architecture for out-painting panoramic image representation. Our method obtains state-of-the-art results and outperforms previous methods on standard image quality metrics. To allow controlled synthesis of out-painting, we introduce a novel guided co-modulation framework, which drives the image generation process with a common pretrained discriminative model. Doing so maintains the high visual quality of generated panoramas while enabling user-controlled semantic content in the extrapolated field of view. We demonstrate the state-of-the-art results of our method on field of view extrapolation both qualitatively and quantitatively, providing thorough analysis of our novel editing capabilities. Finally, we demonstrate that our approach benefits the photorealistic virtual insertion of highly glossy objects in photographs.

  We make the first attempt to align diffusion models for image inpainting with human aesthetic standards via a reinforcement learning framework. We train a reward model with a dataset we construct, consisting of nearly 51,000 images annotated with human preferences. Experiments on inpainting comparison and downstream tasks, such as image extension and 3D reconstruction, demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

Recent breakthroughs in visual synthesis have unlocked the potential for semantic control in 2D flat images, but a direct application of these methods to panorama synthesis yields distorted content. We unveil an innovative framework for generating high-resolution panoramas, adeptly addressing the issues of spherical distortion and edge discontinuity through sophisticated spherical modeling.
