ReMOVE

This is the official PyTorch implementation for the CVPRW 24 paper: "ReMOVE: A Reference-free Metric for Object Erasure".

Requirements

This code was tested with python=3.8.18, pytorch=2.0.1 and torchvision=0.8.2. Please follow the instructions here to install PyTorch and TorchVision dependencies. Installing both PyTorch and TorchVision with CUDA support is strongly recommended.

NOTE: This codebase requires SAM to be installed. To install SAM, please follow the instructions here.

pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything.git

Getting Started

Setup

Start by downloading the model at models/url.txt (~2.4GB). Currently, main.py uses the ViT-H model, but other models can be used by modifying L49 of main.py.

wget -i models/url.txt -P models/

Usage

The main.py script takes the following arguments

--image_path : Path to the image.
--mask_path : Path to the corresponding mask.
--crop (optional) : Crops the image using a bounding box around the object mask.
--draw (optional) : Draws a bounding box around the object (saved to masked.png) if --crop is used.

A set of sample images with objects removed using various methods are provided in ./examples/.

Bad Inpainting

BAD

python main.py -i 'examples/sdinpaint/823000000001.jpg' -m 'examples/masks/823000000001.jpg'

python main.py -i 'examples/sdinpaint/823000000001.jpg' -m 'examples/masks/823000000001.jpg' --crop

Good Inpainting

GOOD

python main.py -i 'examples/sdinpaint/122000000009.jpg' -m 'examples/masks/122000000009.jpg'

python main.py -i 'examples/sdinpaint/122000000009.jpg' -m 'examples/masks/122000000009.jpg' --crop
