SERO: Semantic Prediction for Single-Step Object Removal

We propose SERO, a semantic prediction framework for single-step object removal.

Key points

  • Object removal and semantic inpainting of missing regions remain inherently ill-posed, as multiple plausible completions may exist for a given scene.
  • Recent diffusion-based methods have demonstrated strong potential for high-quality object removal; however, they still face two key limitations.
  • Our model predicts a hidden-region semantic prior in embedding space, which guides a latent bridge-matching generator toward plausible scene completion by providing both where to edit and what structure is likely to exist behind the removed object.
  • This enables visually realistic and contextually coherent completions in one forward pass.
