Recently diffusion-based methods like InstructPix2Pix (IP2P) have achieved effective instruction-based image editing requiring only natural language instructions from the user. However these methods often inadvertently alter unintended areas and struggle with multi-instruction editing resulting in compromised outcomes. To address these issues we introduce the Focus on Your Instruction (FoI) a method designed to ensure precise and harmonious editing across multiple instructions without extra training or test-time optimization. In the FoI we primarily emphasize two aspects: (1) precisely extracting regions of interest for each instruction and (2) guiding the denoising process to concentrate within these regions of interest. For the first objective we identify the implicit grounding capability of IP2P from the cross-attention between instruction and image then develop an effective mask extraction method.

Estimating large extreme inter-image rotations is critical for numerous computer vision domains involving images related by limited or non-overlapping fields of view. In this work we propose an attention-based approach with a pipeline of novel algorithmic components. First as rotation estimation pertains to image pairs we introduce an inter-image distillation scheme using Decoders to improve embeddings. Second whereas contemporary methods compute a 4D correlation volume (4DCV) encoding inter-image relationships we propose an Encoder-based cross-attention approach between activation maps to compute an enhanced equivalent of the 4DCV. Finally we present a cascaded Decoder-based technique for alternately refining the cross-attention and the rotation query. Our approach outperforms current state-of-the-art methods on extreme rotation estimation. We make our code publicly available.

Instruction-based image editing holds immense potential for a variety of applications as it enables users to perform any editing operation using a natural language instruction. However current models in this domain often struggle with accurately executing user instructions. We present Emu Edit a multi-task image editing model which sets state-of-the-art results in instruction-based image editing. To develop Emu Edit we train it to multi-task across an unprecedented range of tasks such as region-based editing free-form editing and Computer Vision tasks all of which are formulated as generative tasks. Additionally to enhance Emu Edit's multi-task learning abilities we provide it with learned task embeddings which guide the generation process towards the correct edit type. Both these elements are essential for Emu Edit's outstanding performance. Furthermore we show that Emu Edit can generalize to new tasks such as image inpainting super-resolution and compositions of editing tasks with just a few labeled examples. This capability offers a significant advantage in scenarios where high-quality samples are scarce. Lastly to facilitate a more rigorous and informed assessment of instructable image editing models we release a new challenging and versatile benchmark that includes seven different image editing tasks.

In recent years image editing has advanced remarkably. With increased human control it is now possible to edit an image in a plethora of ways; from specifying in text what we want to change to straight up dragging the contents of the image in an interactive point-based manner. However most of the focus has remained on editing single images at a time. Whether and how we can simultaneously edit large batches of images has remained understudied. With the goal of minimizing human supervision in the editing process this paper presents a novel method for interactive batch image editing using StyleGAN as the medium. Given an edit specified by users in an example image (e.g. make the face frontal) our method can automatically transfer that edit to other test images so that regardless of their initial state (pose) they all arrive at the same final state (e.g. all facing front). Extensive experiments demonstrate that edits performed using our method have similar visual quality to existing single-image-editing methods while having more visual consistency and saving significant time and human effort.

The objective of text-to-image (T2I) personalization is to customize a diffusion model to a user-provided reference concept generating diverse images of the concept aligned with the target prompts. Conventional methods representing the reference concepts using unique text embeddings often fail to accurately mimic the appearance of the reference. To address this one solution may be explicitly conditioning the reference images into the target denoising process known as key-value replacement. However prior works are constrained to local editing since they disrupt the structure path of the pre-trained T2I model. To overcome this we propose a novel plug-in method called DreamMatcher which reformulates T2I personalization as semantic matching. Specifically DreamMatcher replaces the target values with reference values aligned by semantic matching while leaving the structure path unchanged to preserve the versatile capability of pre-trained T2I models for generating diverse structures. We also introduce a semantic-consistent masking strategy to isolate the personalized concept from irrelevant regions introduced by the target prompts. Compatible with existing T2I models DreamMatcher shows significant improvements in complex scenarios. Intensive analyses demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

Accurate and controllable image editing is a challenging task that has attracted significant attention recently. Notably DragGAN developed by Pan et al. (2023) is an interactive point-based image editing framework that achieves impressive editing results with pixel-level precision. However due to its reliance on generative adversarial networks (GANs) its generality is limited by the capacity of pretrained GAN models. In this work we extend this editing framework to diffusion models and propose a novel approach DragDiffusion. By harnessing large-scale pretrained diffusion models we greatly enhance the applicability of interactive point-based editing on both real and diffusion-generated images. Unlike other diffusion-based editing methods that provide guidance on diffusion latents of multiple time steps our approach achieves efficient yet accurate spatial control by optimizing the latent of only one time step. This novel design is motivated by our observations that UNet features at a specific time step provides sufficient semantic and geometric information to support the drag-based editing. Moreover we introduce two additional techniques namely identity-preserving fine-tuning and reference-latent-control to further preserve the identity of the original image. Lastly we present a challenging benchmark dataset called DragBench---the first benchmark to evaluate the performance of interactive point-based image editing methods. Experiments across a wide range of challenging cases (e.g. images with multiple objects diverse object categories various styles etc.) demonstrate the versatility and generality of DragDiffusion.

Point-based interactive editing serves as an essential tool to complement the controllability of existing generative models. A concurrent work DragDiffusion updates the diffusion latent map in response to user inputs causing global latent map alterations. This results in imprecise preservation of the original content and unsuccessful editing due to gradient vanishing. In contrast we present DragNoise offering robust and accelerated editing without retracing the latent map. The core rationale of DragNoise lies in utilizing the predicted noise output of each U-Net as a semantic editor. This approach is grounded in two critical observations: firstly the bottleneck features of U-Net inherently possess semantically rich features ideal for interactive editing; secondly high-level semantics established early in the denoising process show minimal variation in subsequent stages. Leveraging these insights DragNoise edits diffusion semantics in a single denoising step and efficiently propagates these changes ensuring stability and efficiency in diffusion editing. Comparative experiments reveal that DragNoise achieves superior control and semantic retention reducing the optimization time by over 50% compared to DragDiffusion. Our codes are available at https://github.com/haofengl/DragNoise.

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. Codes are in https://github.com/xuesong39/DAC.

Document image restoration is a crucial aspect of Document AI systems as the quality of document images significantly influences the overall performance. Prevailing methods address distinct restoration tasks independently leading to intricate systems and the incapability to harness the potential synergies of multi-task learning. To overcome this challenge we propose DocRes a generalist model that unifies five document image restoration tasks including dewarping deshadowing appearance enhancement deblurring and binarization. To instruct DocRes to perform various restoration tasks we propose a novel visual prompt approach called Dynamic Task-Specific Prompt (DTSPrompt). The DTSPrompt for different tasks comprises distinct prior features which are additional characteristics extracted from the input image. Beyond its role as a cue for task-specific execution DTSPrompt can also serve as supplementary information to enhance the model's performance. Moreover DTSPrompt is more flexible than prior visual prompt approaches as it can be seamlessly applied and adapted to inputs with high and variable resolutions. Experimental results demonstrate that DocRes achieves competitive or superior performance compared to existing state-of-the-art task-specific models. This underscores the potential of DocRes across a broader spectrum of document image restoration tasks. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/ZZZHANG-jx/DocRes.

Recent text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have revolutionized image editing by empowering users to control outcomes using natural language. However the ease of image manipulation has raised ethical concerns with the potential for malicious use in generating deceptive or harmful content. To address the concerns we propose an image immunization approach named semantic attack to protect our images from being manipulated by malicious agents using diffusion models. Our approach focuses on disrupting the semantic understanding of T2I diffusion models regarding specific content. By attacking the cross-attention mechanism that encodes image features with text messages during editing we distract the model's attention regarding the content of our concern. Our semantic attack renders the model uncertain about the areas to edit resulting in poorly edited images and contradicting the malicious editing attempts. In addition by shifting the attack target towards intermediate attention maps from the final generated image our approach substantially diminishes computational burden and alleviates GPU memory constraints in comparison to previous methods. Moreover we introduce timestep universal gradient updating to create timestep-agnostic perturbations effective across different input noise levels. By treating the full diffusion process as discrete denoising timesteps during the attack we achieve equivalent or even superior immunization efficacy with nearly half the memory consumption of the previous method. Our contributions include a practical and effective approach to safeguard images against malicious editing and the proposed method offers robust immunization against various image inpainting and editing approaches showcasing its potential for real-world applications.

How do two sets of images differ? Discerning set-level differences is crucial for understanding model behaviors and analyzing datasets yet manually sifting through thousands of images is impractical. To aid in this discovery process we explore the task of automatically describing the differences between two sets of images which we term Set Difference Captioning. This task takes in image sets \mathcal D _A and \mathcal D _B and outputs a description that is more often true on \mathcal D _A than \mathcal D _B. We outline a two-stage approach that first proposes candidate difference descriptions from image sets and then re-ranks the candidates by checking how well they can differentiate the two sets. We introduce VisDiff which first captions the images and prompts a language model to propose candidate descriptions then re-ranks these descriptions using CLIP. To evaluate VisDiff we collect VisDiffBench a dataset with 187 paired image sets with ground truth difference descriptions. We apply VisDiff to various domains such as comparing datasets (e.g. ImageNet vs. ImageNetV2) comparing classification models (e.g. zero-shot CLIP vs. supervised ResNet) characterizing differences between generative models (e.g. StableDiffusionV1 and V2) and discovering what makes images memorable. Using VisDiff we are able to find interesting and previously unknown differences in datasets and models demonstrating its utility in revealing nuanced insights.

In this paper we target the adaptive source driven 3D scene editing task by proposing a CustomNeRF model that unifies a text description or a reference image as the editing prompt. However obtaining desired editing results conformed with the editing prompt is nontrivial since there exist two significant challenges including accurate editing of only foreground regions and multi-view consistency given a single-view reference image. To tackle the first challenge we propose a Local-Global Iterative Editing (LGIE) training scheme that alternates between foreground region editing and full-image editing aimed at foreground-only manipulation while preserving the background. For the second challenge we also design a class-guided regularization that exploits class priors within the generation model to alleviate the inconsistency problem among different views in image-driven editing. Extensive experiments show that our CustomNeRF produces precise editing results under various real scenes for both text- and image-driven settings. The code is available at: https://github. com/hrz2000/CustomNeRF.

Underwater visual understanding has recently gained increasing attention within the computer vision community for studying and monitoring underwater ecosystems. Among these coral reefs play an important and intricate role often referred to as the rainforests of the sea due to their rich biodiversity and crucial environmental impact. Existing coral analysis due to its technical complexity requires significant manual work from coral biologists therefore hindering scalable and comprehensive studies. In this paper we introduce CoralSCOP the first foundation model designed for the automatic dense segmentation of coral reefs. CoralSCOP is developed to accurately assign labels to different coral entities addressing the challenges in the semantic analysis of coral imagery. Its main objective is to identify and delineate the irregular boundaries between various coral individuals across different granularities such as coral/non-coral growth form and genus. This task is challenging due to the semantic agnostic nature or fixed limited semantic categories of previous generic segmentation methods which fail to adequately capture the complex characteristics of coral structures. By introducing a novel parallel semantic branch CoralSCOP can produce high-quality coral masks with semantics that enable a wide range of downstream coral reef analysis tasks. We demonstrate that CoralSCOP exhibits a strong zero-shot ability to segment unseen coral images. To effectively train our foundation model we propose CoralMask a new dataset with 41297 densely labeled coral images and 330144 coral masks. We have conducted comprehensive and extensive experiments to demonstrate the advantages of CoralSCOP over existing generalist segmentation algorithms and coral reef analytical approaches.

With the remarkable advent of text-to-image diffusion models image editing methods have become more diverse and continue to evolve. A promising recent approach in this realm is Delta Denoising Score (DDS) - an image editing technique based on Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) framework that leverages the rich generative prior of text-to-image diffusion models. However relying solely on the difference between scoring functions is insufficient for preserving specific structural elements from the original image a crucial aspect of image editing. To address this here we present an embarrassingly simple yet very powerful modification of DDS called Contrastive Denoising Score (CDS) for latent diffusion models (LDM). Inspired by the similarities and differences between DDS and the contrastive learning for unpaired image-to-image translation(CUT) we introduce a straightforward approach using CUT loss within the DDS framework. Rather than employing auxiliary networks as in the original CUT approach we leverage the intermediate features of LDM specifically those from the self-attention layers which possesses rich spatial information. Our approach enables zero-shot image-to-image translation and neural radiance field (NeRF) editing achieving structural correspondence between the input and output while maintaining content controllability. Qualitative results and comparisons demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed method.

This paper proposes ConsistDreamer - a novel framework that lifts 2D diffusion models with 3D awareness and 3D consistency thus enabling high-fidelity instruction-guided scene editing. To overcome the fundamental limitation of missing 3D consistency in 2D diffusion models our key insight is to introduce three synergetic strategies that augment the input of the 2D diffusion model to become 3D-aware and to explicitly enforce 3D consistency during the training process. Specifically we design surrounding views as context-rich input for the 2D diffusion model and generate 3D-consistent structured noise instead of image-independent noise. Moreover we introduce self-supervised consistency-enforcing training within the per-scene editing procedure. Extensive evaluation shows that our ConsistDreamer achieves state-of-the-art performance for instruction-guided scene editing across various scenes and editing instructions particularly in complicated large-scale indoor scenes from ScanNet++ with significantly improved sharpness and fine-grained textures. Notably ConsistDreamer stands as the first work capable of successfully editing complex (e.g. plaid/checkered) patterns.

Face Image Quality Assessment (FIQA) is pivotal for guaranteeing the accuracy of face recognition in unconstrained environments. Recent progress in deep quality-fitting-based methods that train models to align with quality anchors has shown promise in FIQA. However these methods heavily depend on a recognition model to yield quality anchors and indiscriminately treat the confidence of inaccurate anchors as equivalent to that of accurate ones during the FIQA model training leading to a fitting bottleneck issue. This paper seeks a solution by putting forward the Confidence-Calibrated Face Image Quality Assessment (CLIB-FIQA) approach underpinned by the synergistic interplay between the quality anchors and objective quality factors such as blur pose expression occlusion and illumination. Specifically we devise a joint learning framework built upon the vision-language alignment model which leverages the joint distribution with multiple quality factors to facilitate the quality fitting of the FIQA model. Furthermore to alleviate the issue of the model placing excessive trust in inaccurate quality anchors we propose a confidence calibration method to correct the quality distribution by exploiting to the fullest extent of these objective quality factors characterized as the merged-factor distribution during training. Experimental results on eight datasets reveal the superior performance of the proposed method.
