VOR-Bench is a new benchmark for video object removal that addresses shortcomings in current evaluation methods by providing a dataset with paired edited videos and graffiti masks, a realistic motion-capable paired-video acquisition framework (rMPAF), and a perception-driven scoring model (VOR-MDSM). The dataset includes diverse data from model-generated, tool-rendered, and camera-captured sources, ensuring robust real-world assessment. Experiments show that VOR-Bench’s evaluation results correlate strongly (ρ > 0.9) with human subjective judgments, bridging the gap between traditional metrics and human preference.

WildShadowRemover is a framework that adapts a pretrained video diffusion model for robust in-the-wild video shadow removal using LoRA fine-tuning. It augments the frozen VAE decoder with a detail injection module and introduces a shadow‑mask‑guided frequency‑decomposed modulation module to restore high‑frequency textures while suppressing shadow artifacts, with monocular depth priors providing geometry‑aware guidance. The authors also create WildShadow, a large‑scale paired video shadow removal dataset, and show that their method outperforms existing approaches in shadow removal quality, temporal consistency, and generalization across challenging real‑world scenarios.

FreeInpaint is a feed‑forward 3D inpainting framework that reconstructs complete, geometrically consistent scenes directly from unposed multi‑view images with masked regions. It extends a 3D foundation model by propagating masked areas across views, using a Learnable Mask Attention mechanism to maintain reliable cross‑view correspondences and a Support Token Refinement strategy that injects diffusion‑generated auxiliary tokens for high‑fidelity completion. Experiments on diverse datasets show that FreeInpaint delivers superior inpainting quality without requiring pre‑computed camera poses, while maintaining fast inference speed.

FOMO is a training‑based selective video unlearning method that prioritizes preserving the original scene while removing targeted concepts. It localizes concept‑related representations for modification and employs a preservation mechanism that maintains non‑target scene information without auxiliary data. The approach extends to motion unlearning, enabling removal of concepts defined by temporal behavior, and achieves a strong balance between concept removal and scene preservation.

arXiv:2606. 28094v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world object removal is challenging due to two key difficulties: the target object's non-local effects, such as shadows and reflections, which are difficult to model, and the fact that user-provided masks are often inaccurate or incomplete.
