FLAME Diffuser: Grounded Wildfire Image Synthesis using Mask Guided Diffusion

The rise of machine learning in recent years has brought benefits to various research fields such as wide fire detection. Nevertheless, small object detection and rare object detection remain a challenge. To address this problem, we present a dataset automata that can generate ground truth paired datasets using diffusion models. Specifically, we introduce a mask-guided diffusion framework that can fusion the wildfire into the existing images while the flame position and size can be precisely controlled. In advance, to fill the gap that the dataset of wildfire images in specific scenarios is missing, we vary the background of synthesized images by controlling both the text prompt and input image. Furthermore, to solve the color tint problem or the well-known domain shift issue, we apply the CLIP model to filter the generated massive dataset to preserve quality. Thus, our proposed framework can generate a massive dataset of that images are high-quality and ground truth-paired, which well addresses the needs of the annotated datasets in specific tasks.
