Although large-scale text-to-image generative models have shown promising performance in synthesizing high-quality images, directly applying these models to image editing remains a significant challenge. This challenge is further amplified in video editing due to the additional dimension of time. Especially for editing real videos as it necessitates maintaining a stable semantic layout across the frames while executing localized edits precisely without disrupting the existing backgrounds. In this paper, we propose RealCraft, an attention-control-based method for zero-shot editing in real videos. By employing the object-centric manipulation of cross-attention between prompts and frames and spatial-temporal attention within the frames, we achieve precise shape-wise editing along with enhanced consistency. Our model can be used directly with Stable Diffusion and operates without the need for additional localized information. We showcase our zero-shot attention-control-based method across a range of videos, demonstrating localized, high-fidelity, shape-precise and time-consistent editing in videos of various lengths, up to 64 frames.
As transformer architectures and dataset sizes continue to scale, the need to understand the specific dataset factors affecting model performance becomes increasingly urgent. This paper investigates how object physics attributes (color, friction coefficient, shape) and background characteristics (static, dynamic, background complexity) influence the performance of Video Transformers in trajectory prediction tasks under occlusion. Beyond mere occlusion challenges, this study aims to investigate three questions: How do object physics attributes and background characteristics influence the model performance? What kinds of attributes are most influential to the model generalization? Is there a data saturation point for large transformer model performance within a single task? To facilitate this research, we present OccluManip, a real-world video-based robot pushing dataset comprising 460,000 consistent recordings of objects with different physics and varying backgrounds. 1.4 TB and in total 1278 hours of high-quality videos of flexible temporal length along with target object trajectories are collected, accommodating tasks with different temporal requirements. Additionally, we propose Video Occlusion Transformer (VOT), a generic video-transformer-based network achieving an average 96% accuracy across all 18 sub-datasets provided in OccluManip. OccluManip and VOT will be released at: https://github.com/ShutongJIN/OccluManip.git
