Awesome Image Composition 
A curated list of resources including papers, datasets, and relevant links pertaining to image composition (object insertion). The goal of image composition is inserting one foreground into a background image to get a realistic composite image, by addressing the inconsistencies (appearance, geometry, and semantic inconsistency) between foreground and background. Generally speaking, image composition could be used to combine the visual elements from different images.

Toolbox
We integrate 10+ image composition related functions into libcom (the library of image composition), including image blending, standard/painterly image harmonization, shadow generation, object placement, generative composition, quality evaluation, etc. The ultimate goal of this library is solving all the problems related to image composition with simple import libcom.
