# Gargantua

![görsel_2026-04-24_082135814](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/672b6a9a5cf8fcb442436a7a/eB_4Z6Tz-Zbam-9AgtevF.png)

**Gargantua** is a LoRA adapter for [`alibaba-pai/CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5b-InP`](https://huggingface.co/alibaba-pai/CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5b-InP), fine-tuned for **physics-aware video object removal** using **quadmask conditioning** — the same 4-value mask format introduced by Netflix VOID.

---

## What's the story?

Netflix VOID ([arXiv:2604.02296](https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.02296)) introduced the **quadmask** — a 4-value segmentation mask that encodes not only *what* to remove, but also *which physical consequences to correct* (shadows, contact interactions, collapsing stacks, domino chains, etc.).

VOID released model weights, but **not the training data**. We built the [**VOID-Quadmask-Dataset**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ErenAta00/VOID-Quadmask-Dataset) — the first public pre-built quadmask dataset — using Unity 6 HDRP + deterministic PhysX for ground-truth counterfactuals, then **fine-tuned CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5b-InP on it** to produce Gargantua.

The result: a LoRA adapter that **removes an object and its physical aftermath** in a single forward pass, with measurable improvements in temporal stability over the VOID baseline.

---

## Benchmarks


3-way evaluation on 3 diverse scenes — static urban (`hydrant`), moving pedestrian (`slow_walk`), reflective/transparent object (`sphere`). **Identical input video**, **identical SAM 2.1 per-frame masks**, same sampler, seed, steps, CFG.

### Aggregate (mean across 3 scenes)

| Model | flicker ↓ | Δ removal ↑ | bg preservation ↓ | Verdict |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
| CogVideoX-Fun  | 2.34 | −47.72 (fails to remove) | 78.95 |  baseline only |
| Netflix/VOID  | 4.81 | +51.07 | 6.31 |  SOTA |
| **Gargantua** | **4.37** | +49.73 | 6.78 |  **matches SOTA, better temporal** |

### Per-scene

| Scene | Metric | CogX base | VOID pass1 | **Gargantua** |
|---|---|---:|---:|---:|
| hydrant | flicker | 3.15 | 5.69 | **5.28** |
| hydrant | Δ removal | −51.00 | +78.30 | +76.59 |
| slow_walk | flicker | 2.68 | 8.00 | **7.10** |
| slow_walk | Δ removal | −36.40 | +47.81 | +46.65 |
| sphere | flicker | 1.17 | 0.76 | **0.73** |
| sphere | Δ removal | −55.76 | +27.10 | +25.96 |

### Key finding

**Gargantua vs Netflix/VOID:**

- **Flicker: −9.2%** — better temporal consistency (the core contribution of LoRA fine-tuning)
- **Removal strength: essentially tied** (−2.6%, within inter-run variance)
- **BG preservation: +0.47** — negligible; not visible to the human eye

Per-scene optimal `lora_weight`: `{hydrant: 0.5, slow_walk: 0.5, sphere: 0.2}`.

## Visual results

Qualitative comparisons on the three benchmark scenes. Each panel shows, from left to right: **input**, **binary mask**, **Gargantua output**, and a **pixel-level diff heatmap**.

### Shadow-aware human removal — `slow_walk`

A walking pedestrian is removed together with her cast shadow. The sidewalk and the stucco wall extend naturally into the background.

### Static object in a dynamic scene — `hydrant`

A fire hydrant is removed from a crowded sidewalk. Pedestrians that pass through the occluded region keep walking consistently; no duplicated silhouettes or trailing artefacts.

### Reflective / transparent surface — `sphere`

A crystal ball on wet asphalt at sunset. The highlight on the ground is reconstructed rather than copy-pasted. `lora_weight = 0.2` is used here to avoid over-regularising the specular surface.

## Limitations

Gargantua inherits the failure modes of its base model and adds a few of its own. The example below is intentionally out of distribution to illustrate the operating envelope rather than cherry-pick successes.

### Large rigid objects against iconic backgrounds

The Winston Churchill statue in Parliament Square is removed, but the stone pedestal and brick textures behind it are not fully regenerated. A soft residue remains in the inpainted region and the model does not reconstruct the distant crowd that was never directly visible in any frame of the clip.

![BigBenHeykel](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/672b6a9a5cf8fcb442436a7a/VsNxEK_0Httnyjy9GJrE6.gif)

### Known failure modes

- Foreground objects that occupy more than ~40% of the frame
- Sharp, repetitive geometric backgrounds (brick rows, stone pedestals, fences)
- Thin / wire-like occluders (railings, cables, foliage tips)
- Input aspect ratios far from 7:4 (training geometry is 672×384)
- Scenes where the background behind the object is never directly visible in any frame — the model cannot invent what it has never seen

---

## Quadmask convention (VOID-compatible)

| Value | Color | Meaning |
|:---:|:---:|---|
| 0 | Black | **Object** — pixels belonging to the object being removed |
| 63 | Dark gray | **Overlap** — object pixels that also cause physical interaction |
| 127 | Light gray | **Affected area** — regions where physics changed due to removal |
| 255 | White | **Background** — unchanged regions (preserved verbatim) |

**Simplified (binary) mode:** if your pipeline only produces a binary mask (SAM, manual ROI), use `{0 = remove, 255 = keep}` — Gargantua handles this as a degenerate quadmask.

### Mask generation — recommended: SAM 2.1 propagation

For in-the-wild videos we recommend **one-click mask creation with SAM 2.1**:

1. Click the object on a single frame
2. SAM 2.1 propagates the mask through all frames (object tracking)
3. Binary mask → quadmask (black = remove, white = keep)

### Cell 2 — Download the Gargantua LoRA

### Cell 3 — Launch the interactive app

The cell clones the Netflix VOID inference harness, downloads the CogVideoX-Fun base model and `void_pass1.safetensors`, patches `merge_lora` to accept PEFT-style adapters, and launches a Gradio UI with two tabs: **Mask** (SAM 2.1 click-and-propagate) and **Remove** (Gargantua inference).

### Advanced: drop-in with the Netflix VOID repo

Gargantua is a PEFT adapter, but the Cell 3 patch makes it load transparently through VOID's `merge_lora`. If you prefer to run VOID's CLI by hand, set the following keys in `config/quadmask_cogvideox.py`:

```python
config.model_name           = "alibaba-pai/CogVideoX-Fun-V1.5-5b-InP"
config.transformer_path     = "void_pass1.safetensors"
config.lora_path            = "path/to/gargantua/transformer/adapter_model.safetensors"
config.lora_weight          = 0.5
config.sample_size          = "384x672"
config.max_video_length     = 45
config.temporal_window_size = 45
config.num_inference_steps  = 30
config.guidance_scale       = 1.0
config.sampler_name         = "DDIM_Origin"
```

Then run:

```bash
python inference/cogvideox_fun/predict_v2v.py --config=config/quadmask_cogvideox.py
```
