• Title: Making Images from Images: Interleaving Denoising and Transformation
• Authors: Shumeet Baluja, David Marwood, Ashwin Baluja,
• Abstract summary: We learn not only the content of the images, but also the parameterized transformations required to transform the desired images into each other. By learning the image transforms, we allow any source image to be pre-specified. Unlike previous methods, increasing the number of regions actually makes the problem easier and improves results.

• Abstract: Simply by rearranging the regions of an image, we can create a new image of any subject matter. The definition of regions is user definable, ranging from regularly and irregularly-shaped blocks, concentric rings, or even individual pixels. Our method extends and improves recent work in the generation of optical illusions by simultaneously learning not only the content of the images, but also the parameterized transformations required to transform the desired images into each other. By learning the image transforms, we allow any source image to be pre-specified; any existing image (e.g. the Mona Lisa) can be transformed to a novel subject. We formulate this process as a constrained optimization problem and address it through interleaving the steps of image diffusion with an energy minimization step. Unlike previous methods, increasing the number of regions actually makes the problem easier and improves results. We demonstrate our approach in both pixel and latent spaces. Creative extensions, such as using infinite copies of the source image and employing multiple source images, are also given.

  We propose SceneDiffusion to optimize a layered scene representation during the diffusion sampling process. Our key insight is that spatial disentanglement can be obtained by jointly denoising scene renderings at different spatial layouts. Our generated scenes support a wide range of spatial editing operations, including moving, resizing, cloning, and layer-wise appearance editing operations.

  We propose FlexIT, a novel method which can take any input image and a user-defined text instruction for editing. First, FlexIT combines the input image and text into a single target point in the CLIP multimodal embedding space. We iteratively transform the input image toward the target point, ensuring coherence and quality with a variety of novel regularization terms.

• In&Out : Diverse Image Outpainting via GAN Inversion [89.84841983778672]
  Image outpainting seeks for a semantically consistent extension of the input image beyond its available content. In this work, we formulate the problem from the perspective of inverting generative adversarial networks. Our generator renders micro-patches conditioned on their joint latent code as well as their individual positions in the image.

  We propose TransFill, a multi-homography transformed fusion method to fill the hole by referring to another source image that shares scene contents with the target image. We learn to adjust the color and apply a pixel-level warping to each homography-warped source image to make it more consistent with the target. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on pairs of images across a variety of wide baselines and color differences, and generalizes to user-provided image pairs.
