• Authors: Xiang Li, Chung-Ching Lin, Yinpeng Chen, Zicheng Liu, Jinglu Wang, Bhiksha Raj
• Abstract summary: PaintSeg is a new unsupervised method for segmenting objects without any training. Inpainting and outpainting are alternated, with the former masking the foreground and filling in the background, and the latter masking the background while recovering the missing part of the foreground object. Our experimental results demonstrate that PaintSeg outperforms existing approaches in coarse mask-prompt, box-prompt, and point-prompt segmentation tasks.

• Abstract: The paper introduces PaintSeg, a new unsupervised method for segmenting objects without any training. We propose an adversarial masked contrastive painting (AMCP) process, which creates a contrast between the original image and a painted image in which a masked area is painted using off-the-shelf generative models. During the painting process, inpainting and outpainting are alternated, with the former masking the foreground and filling in the background, and the latter masking the background while recovering the missing part of the foreground object. Inpainting and outpainting, also referred to as I-step and O-step, allow our method to gradually advance the target segmentation mask toward the ground truth without supervision or training. PaintSeg can be configured to work with a variety of prompts, e.g. coarse masks, boxes, scribbles, and points. Our experimental results demonstrate that PaintSeg outperforms existing approaches in coarse mask-prompt, box-prompt, and point-prompt segmentation tasks, providing a training-free solution suitable for unsupervised segmentation.

  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.

  This paper proposes a mask optimization method for improving the quality of object removal using image inpainting. In our method, this domain gap is resolved by training the inpainting network with object masks extracted by segmentation. To optimize the object masks for inpainting, the segmentation network is connected to the inpainting network and end-to-end trained to improve the inpainting performance.

  We propose a new learning task of automatic segmentation of inpainting perceptual artifacts. We train advanced segmentation networks on a dataset to reliably localize inpainting artifacts within inpainted images. 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.
