Making Images Real Again: A Comprehensive Survey on Deep Image Composition

Understand

As a common image editing operation, image composition/compositing, which is also called object/subject insertion/addition/compositing, aims to combine the foreground from one image and another background image to produce a composite image.

• However, there are many issues that could make the composite images unrealistic.
• These issues can be summarized as the inconsistency between foreground and background, which includes appearance inconsistency, geometry inconsistency, and semantic inconsistency.
• The image composition task could be decomposed into multiple sub-tasks, in which each sub-task targets one or more issues.
