From Inpainting to Layer Decomposition: Repurposing Generative Inpainting Models for Image Layer Decomposition

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2511.20996v2 Announce Type: replace Images can be viewed as layered compositions, foreground objects over background, with potential occlusions. This layered representation enables independent editing of elements, offering greater flexibility for content creation. Despite the progress in large generative models, decomposing a single image into layers remains challenging due to limited methods and data.
