Inpaint Anything: A Seamless Image, Video, and 3D Scene Editing Tool
Inpaint Anything is an innovative project that extends the capabilities of image inpainting to videos and 3D scenes. This tool integrates powerful vision models to allow users to manipulate images and video content effortlessly. Developed by a team from the University of Science and Technology of China and the Eastern Institute for Advanced Study, Inpaint Anything provides users with the ability to remove, fill, or replace objects within digital media with remarkable simplicity.
Features of Inpaint Anything
-
Remove Anything: With a simple click on any object in an image, video, or 3D scene, users can remove the object instantly. This is made possible by a combination of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for object segmentation and inpainting models like LaMa to fill the resulting void seamlessly.
-
Fill Anything: In situations where users desire to add new content, Inpaint Anything allows users to select an area and fill it with content based on a text prompt. This feature uses text-prompt-guided inpainting models such as Stable Diffusion to generate the desired content.
-
Replace Anything: Users can click on an object and input a text prompt to replace the background with content suggested by the text. Like the "Fill Anything" feature, it relies on text-prompt-guided models to create realistic and context-appropriate backgrounds.
Multi-Modal Support
Inpaint Anything isn't just limited to static images. It also extends its functionality to videos and 3D scenes, offering users three-dimensional and temporal editing capabilities. Users can remove objects from a 3D scene or video just as easily as they would from an image.
Easy Installation and Use
The tool requires a system with Python version 3.8 or higher. Installation involves setting up the necessary packages and downloading model checkpoints. The installation steps are clearly delineated for both Windows and other systems, ensuring that users can get started quickly.
User-Friendly Interface
Inpaint Anything features both a web interface and a local web UI, making the tools accessible to users without advanced technical knowledge. The demo interface provides hands-on experience and illustrates the power of each feature visually.
Recent Enhancements
- 3D Functionality: Added the capacity to remove objects from 3D scenes.
- Video Handling: Expanded features to include video inpainting.
- Enhanced Resolution: Supports images with up to 2K resolution.
By harnessing cutting-edge vision models, Inpaint Anything transforms the way users interact with their digital content, offering a unique blend of ease of use and advanced capabilities that cater to both creative and practical applications.
