Summary
In this chapter, the focus was on using SD for image editing and style transferring. The chapter introduced tools such as CLIPSeg for image content detection, Rembg for background removal, and IP-Adapter for transferring styles between images.
The first section covered image editing, specifically replacing or removing the background. CLIPSeg is used to generate a mask of the background, which is then converted to a binary mask. The background is either replaced using SD or removed, with the latter option showing jagged edges. Rembg was introduced as a solution for smoother background removal.
The second section explored object and style transferring using IP-Adapter. The process involves loading an image encoder, incorporating it into an SD pipeline, and applying IP-Adapter to the UNet of the pipeline. The chapter concluded with an example of transferring the style of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring onto an image of an astronaut riding a horse.
