OTR: Synthesizing Overlay Text Dataset for Text Removal
Text removal is a crucial task in computer vision with applications such as privacy preservation, image editing, and media reuse. While existing research has primarily focused on scene text removal in natural images, limitations in current datasets hinder out-of-domain generalization or accurate evaluation. In particular, widely used benchmarks such as SCUT-EnsText suffer from ground truth artifacts due to manual editing, overly simplistic text backgrounds, and evaluation metrics that do not capture the quality of generated results. To address these issues, we introduce an approach to synthesizing a text removal benchmark applicable to domains other than scene texts. Our dataset features text rendered on complex backgrounds using object-aware placement and vision-language model-generated content, ensuring clean ground truth and challenging text removal scenarios. The dataset is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/cyberagent/OTR .

TextWand: A Unified Framework for Scene Text Editing
We propose TextWand, a general-purpose framework that unifies scene text removal, generation, and replacement into a single model. By decomposing complex editing tasks into the atomic primitives of rendering and erasure,…
CLEAR: Context-Aware Learning with End-to-End Mask-Free Inference for Adaptive Video Subtitle Removal
Video subtitle removal aims to distinguish text overlays from background content while preserving temporal coherence. Existing diffusion-based methods necessitate explicit mask sequences during both training and inferenc…
