Task Definition

In our controllable image composition model, we unify four tasks in one model using an 2-dim binary indicator vector, in which the first (resp., second) dimension represents whether adjusting the foreground illumination (resp., pose) to be compatible with background. 1 means making adjustment and 0 means remaining the same. Therefore, (0,0) corresponds to image blending, (1,0) corresponds to image harmonization, (0,1) corresponds to view synthesis, (1,1) corresponds to generative composition.

Our method can selectively adjust partial foreground attributes. Previous methods may adjust the foreground color/pose unexpectedly and even unreasonably, even when the foreground illumination and pose are already compatible with the background. In the left part, the foreground pose is already compatible with background and previous methods make unnecessary adjustment. In the right part, the foreground illumination is already compatible with the background and previous methods adjust the foreground color in an undesirable manner.

The (0,0), (1,0) versions without changing foreground pose are very robust and generally well-behaved, but some tiny details may be lost or altered. The (0,1), (1,1) versions changing foreground pose are less robust and may produce the results with distorted structures or noticeable artifacts. For foreground pose variation, we recommend more robust ObjectStitch.

Network Architecture

Our method is built upon stable diffusion and the network architecture is shown as follows.

FOSCom Dataset

- Google Drive
- Baidu Netdisk
Description:
- This dataset is built upon the existing Foreground Object Search dataset.
- Each background image within this dataset comes with a manually annotated bounding box. These bounding boxes are suitable for placing one object from a specified category.
- The resultant dataset consists of 640 pairs of backgrounds and foregrounds. This dataset is utilized in our user study and qualitative comparison.

Code and Model

1. Dependencies

Python == 3.8.5
Pytorch == 1.10.1
Pytorch-lightning == 1.9.0

Run

cd ControlCom-Image-Composition
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd src/taming-transformers
pip install -e .

2. Download Models

Please download the following files to the checkpoints folder to create the following file tree:

├── ControlCom_blend_harm.pth
├── ControlCom_view_comp.pth
└── openai-clip-vit-large-patch14
    ├── config.json
    ├── merges.txt

openai-clip-vit-large-patch14 (Huggingface | ModelScope): The foreground encoder of our ControlCom is built on pretrained clip.
ControlCom_blend_harm.pth (Huggingface | ModelScope): This model is finetuned for 20 epochs specifically for the tasks of image blending and harmonization. Therefore, when the task argument is set to "blending" or "harmonization" in the following test code, this checkpoint will be loaded.
ControlCom_view_comp.pth (Huggingface | ModelScope): This model is enhanced on viewpoint transformation through finetuning for several epochs using additional multi-viewpoint datasets, i.e., MVImgNet. When the task argument is set to "viewsynthesis" or "composition" in the following test code, this checkpoint will be loaded. Note tht this checkpoint can also be used for "blending" and "harmonization". If you wish to use one checkpoint for four tasks, we recommend this checkpoint.

3. Inference on examples

To perform image composition using our model, you can use scripts/inference.py. For example,

python scripts/inference.py \
--task harmonization \
--outdir results \
--testdir examples \
--num_samples 1 \
--sample_steps 50 \
--gpu 0

or simply run:

sh test.sh

These images under examples folder are obtained from COCOEE dataset.

4. Inference on your data

Please refer to the examples folder for data preparation:
- keep the same filenames for each pair of data.
- either the mask_bbox folder or the bbox folder is sufficient.
- foreground_mask folder is optional but recommended for better composite results.

5. Training code

Download link:
- Google Drive
- Baidu Netdisk

Notes: certain sensitive information has been removed since the model training was conducted within a company. To start training, you'll need to prepare your own training data and make necessary modifications to the code according to your requirements.

Experiments

We show our results using four types of indicators.

Evaluation
