LayerDiffusion: Layered Controlled Image Editing with Diffusion Models
Pengzhi Li QInxuan Huang Yikang Ding Zhiheng Li
Text-guided image editing has recently experienced rapid development.
However, simultaneously performing multiple editing actions on a single image,
such as background replacement and specific subject attribute changes, while
maintaining consistency between the subject and the background remains
challenging. In this paper, we propose LayerDiffusion, a semantic-based layered
controlled image editing method. Our method enables non-rigid editing and
attribute modification of specific subjects while preserving their unique
characteristics and seamlessly integrating them into new backgrounds. We
leverage a large-scale text-to-image model and employ a layered controlled
optimization strategy combined with layered diffusion training. During the
diffusion process, an iterative guidance strategy is used to generate a final
image that aligns with the textual description. Experimental results
demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in generating highly coherent
images that closely align with the given textual description. The edited images
maintain a high similarity to the features of the input image and surpass the
performance of current leading image editing methods. LayerDiffusion opens up
new possibilities for controllable image editing.
