A Survey of Multimodal-Guided Image Editing with Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

Xincheng Shuai · Henghui Ding · Xingjun Ma · Rongcheng Tu · Yu-Gang Jiang · Dacheng Tao ·

This repo is used for recording and tracking recent multimodal-guided image editing methods with T2I models, as a supplement to our survey.
If you find any work missing or have any suggestions, feel free to pull requests. We will add the missing papers to this repo ASAP.

🔥Highlight!!

[1] Two concurrent works (Huang et al., Cao et al.) are related to our survey. Huang et al. introduce the application of diffusion models in image editing, while Cao et al. focus on the controllable image generation. Compared to the review from Huang et al. and other previous literature, we investigate the image editing in a more general context. Our discussion extends beyond low-level semantics, encompassing customization tasks that align with our topic. We integrate existing general editing methods into a unified framework and provide a design space for users through qualitative and quantitative analyses.

[2] In this repo, we organize the reviewed methods based on the editing task and present their inversion & editing algorithms along with guidance set. It's worth noting that many of these studies employ multiple editing algorithms simultaneously. For simplicity, we have currently only indicate the primary technology they use.

[3] We hope our work will assist researchers in exploring novel combinations within our framework, thereby enhancing performance in challenging scenarios.
