• Abstract: We study text-based image editing (TBIE) of a single image by counterfactual inference because it is an elegant formulation to precisely address the requirement: the edited image should retain the fidelity of the original one. Through the lens of the formulation, we find that the crux of TBIE is that existing techniques hardly achieve a good trade-off between editability and fidelity, mainly due to the overfitting of the single-image fine-tuning. To this end, we propose a Doubly Abductive Counterfactual inference framework (DAC). We first parameterize an exogenous variable as a UNet LoRA, whose abduction can encode all the image details. Second, we abduct another exogenous variable parameterized by a text encoder LoRA, which recovers the lost editability caused by the overfitted first abduction. Thanks to the second abduction, which exclusively encodes the visual transition from post-edit to pre-edit, its inversion -- subtracting the LoRA -- effectively reverts pre-edit back to post-edit, thereby accomplishing the edit. Through extensive experiments, our DAC achieves a good trade-off between editability and fidelity. Thus, we can support a wide spectrum of user editing intents, including addition, removal, manipulation, replacement, style transfer, and facial change, which are extensively validated in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations.

  Confident Ordinary Differential Editing (CODE) is a novel approach for image synthesis that effectively handles Out-of-Distribution (OoD) guidance images. CODE enhances images through score-based updates along the probability-flow Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) trajectory. Our method operates in a fully blind manner, relying solely on a pre-trained generative model.

We propose a pseudo-guidance approach that efficiently increases the magnitude of edits without introducing new artifacts.

In the decomposition phase, we further present a GAN prior based deghosting network for separating the final fine edited image from the coarse reconstruction.

We propose a distortion consultation approach that employs a distortion map as a reference for high-fidelity reconstruction.

  Existing GAN inversion methods are stuck in a paradox that the inverted codes can either achieve high-fidelity reconstruction, or retain the editing capability. In this paper, we resolve this paradox by introducing consecutive images into the inversion process. Our method provides the first support of video-based GAN inversion, and an interesting application of unsupervised semantic transfer from consecutive images.
