DreamInpainter: Text-Guided Subject-Driven Image Inpainting with Diffusion Models
This addresses a novel task in image editing for users needing precise subject manipulation with text guidance, though it is incremental as it builds on existing diffusion models.
The study tackled the problem of text-guided subject-driven image inpainting by combining text and exemplar images, achieving superior performance in visual quality, identity preservation, and text control.
This study introduces Text-Guided Subject-Driven Image Inpainting, a novel task that combines text and exemplar images for image inpainting. While both text and exemplar images have been used independently in previous efforts, their combined utilization remains unexplored. Simultaneously accommodating both conditions poses a significant challenge due to the inherent balance required between editability and subject fidelity. To tackle this challenge, we propose a two-step approach DreamInpainter. First, we compute dense subject features to ensure accurate subject replication. Then, we employ a discriminative token selection module to eliminate redundant subject details, preserving the subject's identity while allowing changes according to other conditions such as mask shape and text prompts. Additionally, we introduce a decoupling regularization technique to enhance text control in the presence of exemplar images. Our extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of our method in terms of visual quality, identity preservation, and text control, showcasing its effectiveness in the context of text-guided subject-driven image inpainting.
