• Abstract summary: We propose a learning paradigm that consists of semantic discriminators and object-level discriminators for improving the generation of complex semantics and objects. Specifically, the semantic discriminators leverage pretrained visual features to improve the realism of the generated visual concepts. Our proposed scheme significantly improves the generation quality and achieves state-of-the-art results on various tasks.

• Abstract: Structure-guided image completion aims to inpaint a local region of an image according to an input guidance map from users. While such a task enables many practical applications for interactive editing, existing methods often struggle to hallucinate realistic object instances in complex natural scenes. Such a limitation is partially due to the lack of semantic-level constraints inside the hole region as well as the lack of a mechanism to enforce realistic object generation. In this work, we propose a learning paradigm that consists of semantic discriminators and object-level discriminators for improving the generation of complex semantics and objects. Specifically, the semantic discriminators leverage pretrained visual features to improve the realism of the generated visual concepts. Moreover, the object-level discriminators take aligned instances as inputs to enforce the realism of individual objects. Our proposed scheme significantly improves the generation quality and achieves state-of-the-art results on various tasks, including segmentation-guided completion, edge-guided manipulation and panoptically-guided manipulation on Places2 datasets. Furthermore, our trained model is flexible and can support multiple editing use cases, such as object insertion, replacement, removal and standard inpainting. In particular, our trained model combined with a novel automatic image completion pipeline achieves state-of-the-art results on the standard inpainting task.

  We propose a training-free method, dubbed DiffUHaul, for the object dragging task. We first apply attention masking in each denoising step to make the generation more disentangled across different objects. In the early denoising steps, we interpolate the attention features between source and target images to smoothly fuse new layouts with the original appearance.

A diffusion model is proposed to model panoptic masks, with a simple architecture and generic loss function. Our method is capable of modeling video (in a streaming setting) and thereby learns to track object instances automatically.

  Generation of stroke-based non-photorealistic imagery is an important problem in the computer vision community.

We propose a Semantic Guidance pipeline with 1) a bi-level painting procedure for learning the distinction between foreground and background brush strokes at training time.
