ITERATIVE IMAGE INPAINTING WITH CONFIDENCE FEEDBACK
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for accurately filling holes, regions, and/or portions of images using iterative image inpainting. In particular, iterative inpainting utilize a confidence analysis of predicted pixels determined during the iterations of inpainting. For instance, a confidence analysis can provide information that can be used as feedback to progressively fill undefined pixels that comprise the holes, regions, and/or portions of an image where information for those respective pixels is not known. To allow for accurate image inpainting, one or more neural networks can be used. For instance, a coarse result neural network (e.g., a GAN comprised of a generator and a discriminator) and a fine result neural network (e.g., a GAN comprised of a generator and two discriminators). The image inpainting system can use such networks to predict an inpainting image result that fills the hole, region, and/or portion of the image using predicted pixels and generates a corresponding confidence map of the predicted pixels.
