Practical overview
When it fits
Use HiFi-Inpaint when you want a code-based workflow for reference-guided product integration into masked human images, or when researching and training methods for this task.
Who it is for
- Researchers studying reference-based image inpainting and human–product image generation.
- Developers exploring product placement and scene completion workflows based on a reference image.
- Teams creating human–product imagery for advertising, e-commerce or digital marketing.
Documented uses
- Generate a human–product image by using a product reference to guide inpainting of a masked human image.
- Run the released inference workflow with FLUX.1-dev and the HiFi-Inpaint LoRA weights.
- Configure and launch training with image-path and caption records in the documented JSON format.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and licensed under Apache-2.0. The documented workflow uses a Linux environment and recommends Conda with Python 3.11; inference requires the FLUX.1-dev base model and HiFi-Inpaint LoRA weights.
- This is a repository-based research implementation, not a hosted editor; the README describes local environment setup and command-line workflows.
- Inference depends on both FLUX.1-dev and the HiFi-Inpaint LoRA checkpoint.
- Training data is described through a JSON record containing reference, ground-truth, masked-condition and mask paths, plus a caption.
- The README documents single-GPU and eight-process torchrun training commands and Weights & Biases log tracking.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up and run the documented inference workflow
Generate an inpainted human–product image using a product reference and a masked human image.
Before you start
- A Linux environment with Conda and Python 3.11, as recommended by the repository.
- The FLUX.1-dev base model and HiFi-Inpaint LoRA weights.
- The repository requirements installed in the Conda environment.
Steps
Clone the repository, create and activate a clean Conda environment with Python 3.11, then install dependencies with the command below.
pip install -r requirements.txtDownload FLUX.1-dev and the HiFi-Inpaint LoRA weights.
Set the
FLUX_PATHandLORA_PATHvalues inrun_inference.shto the downloaded model locations.Run the command below.
bash run_inference.sh
Expected outcome
The README says generated results are saved to `./output/`.
Guide limitations
- The guide follows the repository's documented steps and does not establish execution success or hardware requirements.
- The workflow requires the base model and LoRA checkpoint; the README does not specify hardware requirements.
Prepare the documented training inputs and launch training
Configure the released training code to use data in the stated JSON format and start a training run.
Before you start
- The repository environment and training dependencies.
- FLUX.1-dev and training data JSON file or files.
- Each JSON entry needs
ref_image_path,gt_image_path,condition_image_path,mask_pathandcaptionfields. - A Weights & Biases API key for the documented training-log tracking.
Steps
Prepare JSON entries with paths to the reference, ground-truth, masked-condition and mask images, plus a caption.
Set
flux_pathanddata_pathintrain/config/hifi_inpaint.yaml.Set
WANDB_API_KEYbefore training.Start a single-GPU run with the command below, or use the documented multi-GPU command
torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 -m src.train.train.bash train/scripts/train.sh
Expected outcome
The training script or multi-GPU command starts the repository's training workflow; training logs are tracked via Weights & Biases.
Guide limitations
- The README provides the expected data fields and launch commands but does not specify hardware requirements or guarantee a successful run.
- The stated dataset compatibility is with HP-Image-40K; other data may need conversion to the listed JSON format.
Compare options for Model inference and serving
These projects document a common task and share a project role. This is a source-based comparison, not an execution benchmark or a guarantee of interchangeability.
