Fast Object Placement Assessment

Object placement assessment (OPA) aims to predict the rationality score of a composite image in terms of the placement (e.g., scale, location) of inserted foreground object. However, given a pair of scaled foreground and background, to enumerate all the reasonable locations, existing OPA model needs to place the foreground at each location on the background and pass the obtained composite image through the model one at a time, which is very time-consuming. In this work, we investigate a new task named as fast OPA. Specifically, provided with a scaled foreground and a background, we only pass them through the model once and predict the rationality scores for all locations. To accomplish this task, we propose a pioneering fast OPA model with several innovations (i.e., foreground dynamic filter, background prior transfer, and composite feature mimicking) to bridge the performance gap between slow OPA model and fast OPA model. Extensive experiments on OPA dataset show that our proposed fast OPA model performs on par with slow OPA model but runs significantly faster.
