An Empty Room is All We Want: Automatic Defurnishing of Indoor Panoramas

We propose a pipeline that leverages Stable Diffusion to improve inpainting results in the context of defurnishing—the removal of furniture items from indoor panorama images. Specifically, we illustrate how increased context, domain-specific model fine-tuning, and improved image blending can produce high-fidelity inpaints that are geometrically plausible without needing to rely on room layout estimation. We demonstrate qualitative and quantitative improvements over other furniture removal techniques.
