FaithFill enables faithful object completion from a single reference image by synthesizing multiple views of the object using a diffusion-based Neural Radiance Field, then finetuning a Stable Inpainting model on this generated multi-view dataset. The method produces visually and semantically accurate completions, outperforming existing methods in human and AI evaluations while preserving object characteristics and scene context.

Key insights

  • Synthetically generating multiple 2D views of an object from a single reference image, using a diffusion-based Neural Radiance Field (NeRF), effectively transforms a one-shot inpainting problem into a multi-view learning scenario.
  • Creating a synthetic dataset with diverse occlusion patterns from these generated views allows for robust finetuning of a diffusion-based inpainting model, overcoming the underfitting issues common with single-image finetuning.
  • Employing Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for finetuning significantly reduces computational overhead while maintaining the performance of the inpainting module.
