• Authors: Tim Elsner, Julia Berger, Tong Wu, Victor Czech, Lin Gao, Leif Kobbelt,
• Abstract summary: Seam carving is an image editing method that enable content-aware, including operations like removing objects. We propose to learn a deformation with a neural network that keeps the output plausible while trying to deform it in places with low information content radiance. Experiments conducted on different visual data show that our method achieves better content-aware compared to previous methods.

• Abstract: Seam carving is an image editing method that enable content-aware resizing, including operations like removing objects. However, the seam-finding strategy based on dynamic programming or graph-cut limits its applications to broader visual data formats and degrees of freedom for editing. Our observation is that describing the editing and retargeting of images more generally by a displacement field yields a generalisation of content-aware deformations. We propose to learn a deformation with a neural network that keeps the output plausible while trying to deform it only in places with low information content. This technique applies to different kinds of visual data, including images, 3D scenes given as neural radiance fields, or even polygon meshes. Experiments conducted on different visual data show that our method achieves better content-aware retargeting compared to previous methods.

  Image editing aims to edit the given synthetic or real image to meet the specific requirements from users. Recent significant advancement in this field is based on the development of text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models. T2I-based image editing methods significantly enhance editing performance and offer a user-friendly interface for modifying content guided by multimodal inputs.

  We introduce a novel approach to quickly edit a 3D model from a single reference view. Our technique first segments the edit image, and then matches semantically corresponding regions across chosen segmented dataset views. A color or texture change from a particular region of the edit image can then be applied to other views automatically in a semantically sensible manner.

  In this work, we introduce a framework that is object-centric and is designed to control both the object's appearance and, notably, to execute precise and explicit structural modifications on the object. We build our framework on a pre-trained image-conditioned diffusion model, integrate layers to handle the temporal dimension, and propose training strategies and architectural modifications to enable shape control. We evaluate our method on the image-driven video editing task showing similar performance to the state-of-the-art, and showcasing novel shape-editing capabilities.

  We propose a text-to-image editing model with an Image Information Removal module (IIR) that selectively erases color-related and texture-related information from the original image. Our experiments on CUB, Outdoor Scenes, and COCO shows that our edited images are preferred 35% more often than prior work.

  We investigate how to use pre-trained image models for text-guided video editing. Our method works in two simple steps: first, we use a pre-trained structure-guided (e.g., depth) image diffusion model to perform text-guided edits on an anchor frame. We demonstrate that realistic text-guided video edits are possible, without any compute-intensive preprocessing or video-specific finetuning.

  We propose pix2pix-zero, an image-to-image translation method that can preserve the original image without manual prompting. We propose cross-attention guidance, which aims to retain the cross-attention maps of the input image throughout the diffusion process. Our method does not need additional training for these edits and can directly use the existing text-to-image diffusion model.
