Overpainting: Localized Context-aware Diffusion Image Editing

The paper introduces "overpainting," a localized, context-aware image editing technique that allows users to specify precise or loose editing regions via a trimap. The method adapts a pretrained diffusion model with joint attention and low‑rank adaptation, incorporating attention‑dropout to balance noise, source, and mask inputs. An automated pipeline generates training data by pairing images from language‑based editing models, curating them, and extracting trimaps, enabling the model to perform a wide range of editing tasks.
