• Abstract summary: This paper introduces LIME for localized image editing in diffusion models that do not require user-specified regions of interest (RoI) or additional text input. Our method employs features from pre-trained methods and a simple clustering technique to obtain precise semantic segmentation maps. We propose a novel cross-attention regularization technique that penalizes unrelated cross-attention scores in the RoI during the denoising steps, ensuring localized edits.

• Abstract: Diffusion models (DMs) have gained prominence due to their ability to generate high-quality, varied images, with recent advancements in text-to-image generation. The research focus is now shifting towards the controllability of DMs. A significant challenge within this domain is localized editing, where specific areas of an image are modified without affecting the rest of the content. This paper introduces LIME for localized image editing in diffusion models that do not require user-specified regions of interest (RoI) or additional text input. Our method employs features from pre-trained methods and a simple clustering technique to obtain precise semantic segmentation maps. Then, by leveraging cross-attention maps, it refines these segments for localized edits. Finally, we propose a novel cross-attention regularization technique that penalizes unrelated cross-attention scores in the RoI during the denoising steps, ensuring localized edits. Our approach, without re-training and fine-tuning, consistently improves the performance of existing methods in various editing benchmarks.

  We focus on a popular line of text-based editing frameworks - the edit-friendly'' DDPM-noise inversion approach. We analyze its application to fast sampling methods and categorize its failures into two classes: the appearance of visual artifacts, and insufficient editing strength. We propose a pseudo-guidance approach that efficiently increases the magnitude of edits without introducing new artifacts.

  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.

  Text-guided image editing research aims to empower users to manipulate generated images by altering the text prompts. Existing image editing techniques are prone to editing over unintentional regions that are beyond the intended target area. We propose localization-aware Inversion (LocInv), which exploits segmentation maps or bounding boxes as extra localization priors to refine the cross-attention maps.

  tuning-free Text-guided Image Editing (TIE) is of greater importance for application developers. We conduct an in-depth probing analysis and demonstrate that cross-attention maps in Stable Diffusion often contain object attribution information. In contrast, self-attention maps play a crucial role in preserving the geometric and shape details of the source image.

  We propose a novel editing technique that only requires an input image and target text for various editing types including non-rigid edits without fine-tuning diffusion model. Our method contains three novelties: (I) Targettext Inversion Schedule (TTIS) is designed to fine-tune the input target text embedding to achieve fast image reconstruction without image caption and acceleration of convergence; (II) Progressive Transition Scheme applies progressive linear approaches between target text embedding and its fine-tuned version to generate transition embedding for maintaining non-rigid editing capability; (III) Balanced Attention Module (BAM) balances the tradeoff between textual description and image semantics

We show how MMGrad can be incorporated into an end-to-end model training strategy with a new learning objective that explicitly forces these MMGrad attention maps to highlight the correct local regions corresponding to the modifier text.
