ComfyDeploy: How ComfyUI-MaskArbiter works in ComfyUI?

What is ComfyUI-MaskArbiter?

A node for ComfyUI that takes a list of masks and returns a single mask based on your criteria. For example, it can be used to mask the leftmost subject in an image containing more than one subject of the same class. The workflow below demonstrates the difference between Mask Arbiter (top) and traditional Grounding DINO masking (bottom.)

How to install it in ComfyDeploy?

Head over to the machine page

  1. Click on the "Create a new machine" button
  2. Select the Edit build steps
  3. Add a new step -> Custom Node
  4. Search for ComfyUI-MaskArbiter and select it
  5. Close the build step dialig and then click on the "Save" button to rebuild the machine

Installation

Simply drag the image above into ComfyUI and use ComfyUI Manager » Install Missing Custom Nodes.

[!NOTE] ComfyUI-MaskArbiter is packaged with a modified version of the GroundingDinoSAM2Segment node from ComfyUI-SAM2. This version of the node outputs a list of masks that you can feed into Mask Arbiter. It is called "GroundingDinoSAM2SegmentList."

Inputs

  • masks: A list of masks to process with Mask Arbiter, such as the outputs of Segment Anything.
  • sort_by: The method of sorting your masks. Possible options include leftmost (sort left to right), topmost (sort top to bottom), innermost (prioritize closest to center of your image), largest (sort by pixel area occupied), initial (do not sort), random (sort randomly), and merged (combine all masks and merge into one.)
  • reverse: Reverses the mask list order after sorting. For example, if you sort by leftmost and enable reverse, you'll get the rightmost subject.
  • index: The individual mask to return after sorting, zero-indexed.

Outputs

  • MASK: A mask of the selected index after sorting.
  • MASKS: The entire mask list after sorting.
