• Abstract summary: A semantic map has information of objects present in the image. One can easily modify the map to selectively insert, remove, or replace objects in the map. The method proposed in this paper takes in the modified semantic map and alter the original image in accordance to the modified map.

• Abstract: Content creation and image editing can benefit from flexible user controls. A common intermediate representation for conditional image generation is a semantic map, that has information of objects present in the image. When compared to raw RGB pixels, the modification of semantic map is much easier. One can take a semantic map and easily modify the map to selectively insert, remove, or replace objects in the map. The method proposed in this paper takes in the modified semantic map and alter the original image in accordance to the modified map. The method leverages traditional pre-trained image-to-image translation GANs, such as CycleGAN or Pix2Pix GAN, that are fine-tuned on a limited dataset of reference images associated with the semantic maps. We discuss the qualitative and quantitative performance of our technique to illustrate its capacity and possible applications in the fields of image forgery and image editing. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed image forgery technique in thwarting the numerous deep learning-based image forensic techniques, highlighting the urgent need to develop robust and generalizable image forensic tools in the fight against the spread of fake media.

  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.

  In this paper, we study a setting that allows users to edit an image with multiple objects using complex text instructions to add, remove, or change the objects. The inputs of the task are multimodal including (1) a reference image and (2) an instruction in natural language that describes desired modifications to the image. We show that the proposed model performs favorably against recent strong baselines on three public datasets.
