SatEdit

SatEdit is a mask-conditioned satellite image editing framework for localized object addition and removal. Given a satellite image, a binary mask, and a text instruction, SatEdit edits the selected region while preserving the surrounding overhead scene.

Highlights

• Mask-conditioned satellite image editing for object-level addition and removal.
• Localized edits guided by an input image, binary mask, and text prompt.
• ComfyUI and Hugging Face Diffusers inference workflows.
• LoRA fine-tuning for high-resolution image editing.

Usage

Use the <satedit> trigger in prompts when running the SatEdit LoRA. For example:

<satedit> Add dense residential into the scene inside the provided mask

The model expects a satellite RGB image, a binary edit mask, and a text instruction describing the desired edit.

Diffusers inference

python "Diffusers Inference/infer_diffusers.py" \
  --model_path /path/to/Qwen-Image-Edit \
  --lora_path /path/to/satedit_lora \
  --image /path/to/input.jpg \
  --mask /path/to/mask.png \
  --prompt "Add dense residential into the scene inside the provided mask" \
  --output outputs/example.png

The complete inference code, ComfyUI workflow, training configuration, and installation instructions are available in the GitHub repository.
