• Abstract summary: We propose a novel network of Scene Graph Transformer (SGT), which is designed to take node and edge features as inputs for modeling the associated structural information. To better understand and process graph-based inputs, our SGT uniquely performs feature attention at both node and edge levels. We demonstrate that, given a partial input image with its layout and scene graph, our SGT can be applied for scene graph expansion and its conversion to a complete layout.

• Abstract: In this paper, we address the task of semantics-guided image outpainting, which is to complete an image by generating semantically practical content. Different from most existing image outpainting works, we approach the above task by understanding and completing image semantics at the scene graph level. In particular, we propose a novel network of Scene Graph Transformer (SGT), which is designed to take node and edge features as inputs for modeling the associated structural information. To better understand and process graph-based inputs, our SGT uniquely performs feature attention at both node and edge levels. While the former views edges as relationship regularization, the latter observes the co-occurrence of nodes for guiding the attention process. We demonstrate that, given a partial input image with its layout and scene graph, our SGT can be applied for scene graph expansion and its conversion to a complete layout. Following state-of-the-art layout-to-image conversions works, the task of image outpainting can be completed with sufficient and practical semantics introduced. Extensive experiments are conducted on the datasets of MS-COCO and Visual Genome, which quantitatively and qualitatively confirm the effectiveness of our proposed SGT and outpainting frameworks.

  We introduce a novel partial discrete diffusion process (PDDP) for sketch-guided inpainting. PDDP corrupts the masked regions of the image and reconstructs these masked regions conditioned on hand-drawn sketches. The proposed novel transformer module accepts two inputs -- the image containing the masked region to be inpainted and the query sketch to model the reverse diffusion process.

  Scene graphs have emerged as a useful tool for multimodal image analysis. Current methods that utilize idealized annotated scene graphs struggle to generalize when using predicted scene graphs extracted from images. Our approach extracts a scene graph from an input image using a pre-trained scene graph generator.

  Existing scene graphs that convert image captions into scene graphs often suffer from two types of errors. First, the generated scene graphs fail to capture the true semantics of the captions or the corresponding images, resulting in a lack of faithfulness. Second, the generated scene graphs have high inconsistency, with the same semantics represented by different annotations.

  We propose to learn scene graph embeddings by directly optimizing their alignment with images. Specifically, we pre-train an encoder to extract both global and local information from scene graphs. The resulting method, called SGDiff, allows for the semantic manipulation of generated images by modifying scene graph nodes and connections.

  Example-guided image synthesis has recently been attempted to synthesize an image from a semantic label map and an exemplary image. In this paper, we tackle a more challenging and general task, where the exemplar is an arbitrary scene image that is semantically different from the given label map. We propose an end-to-end network for joint global and local feature alignment and synthesis.
