StitchEdit enhances image editing with depth priors

Researchers have developed StitchEdit, a novel method for text-guided image editing that incorporates depth priors from diffusion models. By analyzing per-layer gradients, they found that editing and depth objectives conflict in later transformer layers. StitchEdit addresses this by using a lightweight depth-denoising adapter and a probe-guided learning rate schedule to preserve depth knowledge where beneficial and prune it where detrimental. The method was evaluated on the new StitchEditBench, a benchmark comprising 150 geometry-dependent edits, and demonstrated superior performance in perceptual quality and geometric fidelity compared to existing baselines. AI

    StitchEdit: Stitching Depth Priors into Image Editors via Per-Layer Gradient Probing

    arXiv:2611.07922v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-guided image editing with diffusion models struggles with spatial edits (e.g. manipulating objects, changing viewpoints, manipulating occlusions) that depend on the 3D structure understanding of a scene. Marigold and follow-up …
