• Title: Overpainting: Localized Context-aware Diffusion Image Editing
• Abstract summary: We present "overpainting", an image editing operation which offers both control over the location of the edit and awareness of the previous content in that location.<n>The overpainted area is given by a trimap, where white-annotated pixels must be edited, gray-annotated pixels may be edited, and black-annotated pixels must not be edited.

• Abstract: We present "overpainting", an image editing operation which offers both control over the location of the edit and awareness of the previous content in that location. The overpainted area is given by a trimap, where white-annotated pixels must be edited, gray-annotated pixels may be edited, and black-annotated pixels must not be edited. This enables both precise and loose control, depending on user intent. We implement overpainting by adapting a pretrained image editing diffusion model using a combination of joint attention and low-rank adaption across input images with attention-dropout to balance the information flow between noise, source and mask images. We present a novel, automated, training data generation pipeline that (1) generates a set of candidate image pairs leveraging existing language-based editing models, (2) carefully curates those pairs, and (3) extracts a trimap from each usable pair. We demonstrate the versatility of our overpainting model on a wide range of editing tasks.

  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.

• Flexible Portrait Image Editing with Fine-Grained Control [12.32304366243904]
  We develop a new method for portrait image editing, which supports fine-grained editing of geometries, colors, lights and shadows using a single neural network model. We adopt a novel asymmetric conditional GAN architecture: the generators take the transformed conditional inputs, such as edge maps, color palette, sliders and masks, that can be directly edited by the user. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by evaluating it on the CelebAMask-HQ dataset with a wide range of tasks, including geometry/color/shadow/light editing, hand-drawn sketch to image translation, and color transfer.
