• Abstract summary: In this work, we are interested in an image inpainting algorithm that estimates which object to be removed based on natural language input and removes it, simultaneously. We present a novel inpainting framework, Inst-Inpaint, that can remove objects from images based on the instructions given as text prompts.

• Abstract: Image inpainting task refers to erasing unwanted pixels from images and filling them in a semantically consistent and realistic way. Traditionally, the pixels that are wished to be erased are defined with binary masks. From the application point of view, a user needs to generate the masks for the objects they would like to remove which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. In this work, we are interested in an image inpainting algorithm that estimates which object to be removed based on natural language input and removes it, simultaneously. For this purpose, first, we construct a dataset named GQA-Inpaint for this task. Second, we present a novel inpainting framework, Inst-Inpaint, that can remove objects from images based on the instructions given as text prompts. We set various GAN and diffusion-based baselines and run experiments on synthetic and real image datasets. We compare methods with different evaluation metrics that measure the quality and accuracy of the models and show significant quantitative and qualitative improvements.

  We decompose the typical single-stage object inpainting into two cascaded processes: semantic pre-inpainting and high-fieldity object generation. To achieve this, we cascade a Transformer-based semantic inpainter and an object inpainting diffusion model, leading to a novel CAscaded Transformer-Diffusion framework.

  In this paper, we focus on generating the input mask to better remove objects using the off-the-shelf image inpainting network. We propose an automatic mask generator inspired by the explainable AI (XAI) method, whose output can better remove objects than a semantic segmentation mask. Experiments confirm that our method shows better performance in removing target class objects than the masks generated from the semantic segmentation maps.

We also propose a new evaluation metric called Perceptual Artifact Ratio (PAR), which is the ratio of objectionable inpainted regions to the entire inpainted area.
