RegionDrag proposes to use pairs of regions instead of points (e.g. DragGAN, DragDiffusion) to drag image contents. Visit our project page for various region input examples.

• A region is equivalent to a large number of points, providing richer input context and improving image consistency.
• By using regions as input, we can reduce run time to 1.5 seconds (close to 20-step SD image generation).

During inference, the SD latent representations of the inputted image are extracted from 🔴 RED regions during inversion and mapped to 🔵 BLUE regions during denoising across multiple timesteps.

Installation

CUDA support is required to run our code, you can try our Colab Demo for easy access to GPU resource.
To locally install RegionDrag, run following using terminal:

git clone https://github.com/LuJingyi-John/RegionDrag.git
cd RegionDrag
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Support InstantDrag Backbone Now (https://github.com/SNU-VGILab/InstantDrag)
git clone https://github.com/SNU-VGILab/InstantDrag instantdrag

Run RegionDrag

After installing the requirements, you can simply launch the user inferface through:

python3 ui.py

For detailed instructions to use our UI, check out our User Guide.

DragBench-SR & DragBench-DR

To evaluate region-based editing, we introduce DragBench-SR and DragBench-DR (R is short for 'Region’), which are modified versions of DragBench-S (100 samples) and DragBench-D (205 samples). These benchmarks are consistent with their point-based counterparts but use regions instead of points to reflect user intention. You can download the dataset HERE.

meta_data.pkl or meta_data_region.pkl include user interaction metadata in a dictionary format:

  {
      'prompt': text_prompt describing output image,
      'points': list of points [(x1, y1), (x2, y2), ..., (xn, yn)], 
                handle points: (x1,y1), (x3,y3), ..., target points: (x2,y2), (x4,y4), ...,
      'mask': a binary mask specifying editing area,
  }
