Person in Place: Generating Associative Skeleton-Guidance Maps for Human-Object Interaction Image Editing

Recently, there were remarkable advances in image editing tasks in various ways. Nevertheless, existing image editing models are not designed for Human-Object Interaction (HOI) image editing. One of these approaches (e.g. ControlNet) employs the skeleton guidance to offer precise representations of human, showing better results in HOI image editing. However, using conventional methods, manually creating HOI skeleton guidance is necessary. This paper proposes the object interactive diffuser with associative attention that considers both the interaction with objects and the joint graph structure, automating the generation of HOI skeleton guidance. Additionally, we propose the HOI loss with novel scaling parameter, demonstrating its effectiveness in generating skeletons that interact better. To evaluate generated object-interactive skeletons, we propose two metrics, top-N accuracy and skeleton probabilistic distance. Our framework integrates object interactive diffuser that generates object-interactive skeletons with previous methods, demonstrating the outstanding results in HOI image editing. Finally, we present potentials of our framework beyond HOI image editing, as applications to human-to-human interaction, skeleton editing, and 3D mesh optimization.
