ControlNet SD 1.5 Inpaint is a specialized deep learning model within the ControlNet 1.1 suite that enables controlled image completion within masked regions. Built upon Stable Diffusion 1.5, the model uses textual prompts and surrounding visual context to generate realistic content in specified areas. Training incorporates both random masks and optical flow occlusion masks, allowing applications in static image inpainting and video processing scenarios.
ControlNet SD 1.5 Inpaint is a specialized deep learning model designed for controlled inpainting within the broader ControlNet 1.1 model suite, leveraging Stable Diffusion 1.5 as its generative backbone. It introduces masking-based guidance for image completion, enabling the generation of realistic content within specified regions of an image. The model is trained to be applicable not only for static image inpainting but also for video-related tasks, where handling occlusions and maintaining temporal coherence are crucial.

ControlNet SD 1.5 Inpaint is optimized for intelligent completion of masked regions within images, using user-provided prompts and surrounding context as guidance. The model's architecture is identical to that of earlier ControlNet versions, ensuring compatibility and stability across the 1.x series. Its training regimen involves a mixture of randomly generated masks and optical flow occlusion masks, promoting robustness in both general inpainting and video processing scenarios.

A crucial element of the model's functionality is mask-based training. Approximately half of the training utilizes arbitrary random masks, while the remainder employs occlusion masks derived from optical flow data. This dual approach ensures the model can both fill in missing image content and adapt to motion-induced occlusions in video frames. As a result, the model supports not only static image restoration but also video inpainting and optical flow warping applications.
ControlNet SD 1.5 Inpaint is built upon the ControlNet 1.1 architecture, which itself is closely aligned with the earlier 1.0 release. This consistent architecture enables seamless integration with Stable Diffusion 1.5, utilizing the v1-5-pruned.ckpt checkpoint as the generative foundation.
The training process incorporates two main mask strategies. In the first, the model is exposed to images with randomly positioned and shaped masks, fostering general-purpose inpainting adaptability. In the second, masks are informed by simulated occlusions based on optical flow, a technique commonly used in video analysis to track pixel movements. This blend trains the model to handle both static and dynamic occlusions, facilitating plausible image completions even within complex visual environments.
All annotator submodels required for processing control information (such as HED or OpenPose) can be automatically retrieved or manually installed from the annotators repository, streamlining deployment and experimentation.
The primary application of ControlNet SD 1.5 Inpaint is guided image completion, where masked areas of an image are filled in contextually, based on adjacent visual information and textual prompts. This capability is widely leveraged in artistic editing, restoration of incomplete or damaged photographs, object removal, and scene modification.
Additionally, the model's exposure to optical flow occlusion masks extends its utility to video-related domains. It can support temporally consistent frame interpolation, video stabilization, and the seamless filling of regions that become exposed due to object motion or camera movement. The controlled approach allows for iterative refinement and fine-tuning of masked content to achieve visually coherent results across multiple frames or images.
ControlNet 1.1 encompasses a diverse set of models tailored for distinct conditional input types, governed by the Standard ControlNet Naming Rules (SCNNRs). These include models for edge detection, depth estimation, normal maps, line art, pose approximation, semantic segmentation, and more, each optimized with domain-specific dataset augmentations or architectures.
Within this family, the "production-ready" models—for instance, those for depth (control_v11f1p_sd15_depth), canny edges, and normal maps—prioritize robustness and accuracy for practical scenarios. Experimental models explore novel forms of control, such as compositional shuffling or instruction-based editing, as exemplified by the Instruct Pix2Pix variant.
A notable development in the ecosystem is the introduction of Control-LoRAs, a parameter-efficient fine-tuning technique reducing resource demands while maintaining substantial control fidelity. These variants facilitate consumer-level deployment by dramatically decreasing model size without heavily compromising capability.
The documentation for ControlNet SD 1.5 Inpaint does not specify unique model-specific limitations, beyond general caveats applicable to machine learning systems—such as potential artifacts in complex masking scenarios or inconsistencies in highly ambiguous regions. As with other models in the suite, successful operation may depend on correct file management and version compatibility with the base Stable Diffusion model and associated annotators.
While explicit licensing details for ControlNet SD 1.5 Inpaint are not detailed in the main documentation, the model and related resources are widely distributed for academic, research, and non-commercial experimentation. Researchers and developers are advised to review individual repositories and documentation for any updated licensing statements.
