Abstract:
Missing image content is generated using a neural network. In an embodiment, a high resolution image and associated high resolution semantic label map are generated from a low resolution image and associated low resolution semantic label map. The input image/map pair (low resolution image and associated low resolution semantic label map) lacks detail and is therefore missing content. Rather than simply enhancing the input image/map pair, data missing in the input image/map pair is improvised or hallucinated by a neural network, creating plausible content while maintaining spatio-temporal consistency. Missing content is hallucinated to generate a detailed zoomed in portion of an image. Missing content is hallucinated to generate different variations of an image, such as different seasons or weather conditions for a driving video.
