Salient Object-Aware Background Generation using Text-Guided Diffusion Models Paper

This repository accompanies our paper, Salient Object-Aware Background Generation using Text-Guided Diffusion Models, which has been accepted for publication in CVPR 2024 Generative Models for Computer Vision workshop.

The paper addresses an issue we call "object expansion" when generating backgrounds for salient objects using inpainting diffusion models. We show that models such as Stable Inpainting can sometimes arbitrarily expand or distort the salient object, which is undesirable in applications where the object's identity should be preserved, such as e-commerce ads. We provide some examples of object expansion as follows:

Inference

Load pipeline

from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
model_id = "yahoo-inc/photo-background-generation"
pipeline = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, custom_pipeline=model_id)
pipeline = pipeline.to('cuda')

Load an image and extract its background and foreground

from PIL import Image, ImageOps
import requests
from io import BytesIO
from transparent_background import Remover

def resize_with_padding(img, expected_size):
    img.thumbnail((expected_size[0], expected_size[1]))
    # print(img.size)
    delta_width = expected_size[0] - img.size[0]
    delta_height = expected_size[1] - img.size[1]
    pad_width = delta_width // 2
    pad_height = delta_height // 2
    padding = (pad_width, pad_height, delta_width - pad_width, delta_height - pad_height)
    return ImageOps.expand(img, padding)

seed = 0
image_url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/Granja_comary_Cisne_-_Escalavrado_e_Dedo_De_Deus_ao_fundo_-Teres%C3%B3polis.jpg/2560px-Granja_comary_Cisne_-_Escalavrado_e_Dedo_De_Deus_ao_fundo_-Teres%C3%B3polis.jpg'
response = requests.get(image_url)
img = Image.open(BytesIO(response.content))
img = resize_with_padding(img, (512, 512))

# Load background detection model
remover = Remover() # default setting
remover = Remover(mode='base') # nightly release checkpoint

# Get foreground mask
fg_mask = remover.process(img, type='map') # default setting - transparent background

Background generation

seed = 13
mask = ImageOps.invert(fg_mask)
img = resize_with_padding(img, (512, 512))
generator = torch.Generator(device='cuda').manual_seed(seed)
prompt = 'A dark swan in a bedroom'
cond_scale = 1.0
with torch.autocast("cuda"):
    controlnet_image = pipeline(
        prompt=prompt, image=img, mask_image=mask, control_image=mask, num_images_per_prompt=1, generator=generator, num_inference_steps=20, guess_mode=False, controlnet_conditioning_scale=cond_scale
    ).images[0]
controlnet_image
