TLDR
A novel method for semantic image inpainting, which generates the missing content by conditioning on the available data, and successfully predicts information in large missing regions and achieves pixel-level photorealism, significantly outperforming the state-of-the-art methods.
Abstract
Semantic image inpainting is a challenging task where large missing regions have to be filled based on the available visual data. Existing methods which extract information from only a single image generally produce unsatisfactory results due to the lack of high level context. In this paper, we propose a novel method for semantic image inpainting, which generates the missing content by conditioning on the available data. Given a trained generative model, we search for the closest encoding of the corrupted image in the latent image manifold using our context and prior losses. This encoding is then passed through the generative model to infer the missing content. In our method, inference is possible irrespective of how the missing content is structured, while the state-of-the-art learning based method requires specific information about the holes in the training phase. Experiments on three datasets show that our method successfully predicts information in large missing regions and achieves pixel-level photorealism, significantly outperforming the state-of-the-art methods.

An Approach for Objective Quality Assessment of Image Inpainting Results

TL;DR: This work demonstrates how traditional in-painting techniques can be objectively evaluated and compared together with modern deep learning and adversarial approaches and further demonstrates how an unsupervised technique compares better than deep learning approaches.

3D Human Face Reconstruction and 2D Appearance Synthesis

Facial Information Recovery from Heavily Damaged Images using Generative Adversarial Network- PART 1.

TL;DR: This article proposes a kernel free framework based on conditional-GAN to recover the information from the heavily damaged images and generated images show that the network has the potential to recovered the probable information of blurred images from the learned features.

A face image restoration method and device based on VAE-GAN and similar block search

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a VAE-GAN based face image restoration method and device based on similar block search, which mainly comprises the steps that (1) using a face image library sample to train a constructed VAEGAN network model to optimize parameters of a generator G and a discriminator D in the model; (2) inputting a to-berestored image into the trained generator G to generate a blurred image M with semantic information in a to be-restored area; (3) searching a similar block Z from the image of the face

Adam: A Method for Stochastic Optimization

TL;DR: This work introduces Adam, an algorithm for first-order gradient-based optimization of stochastic objective functions, based on adaptive estimates of lower-order moments, and provides a regret bound on the convergence rate that is comparable to the best known results under the online convex optimization framework.

Image quality assessment: from error visibility to structural similarity

TL;DR: In this article, a structural similarity index is proposed for image quality assessment based on the degradation of structural information, which can be applied to both subjective ratings and objective methods on a database of images compressed with JPEG and JPEG2000.

Generative Adversarial Nets

TL;DR: A new framework for estimating generative models via an adversarial process, in which two models are simultaneously train: a generative model G that captures the data distribution and a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G.

Visualizing Data using t-SNE

TL;DR: A new technique called t-SNE that visualizes high-dimensional data by giving each datapoint a location in a two or three-dimensional map, a variation of Stochastic Neighbor Embedding that is much easier to optimize, and produces significantly better visualizations by reducing the tendency to crowd points together in the center of the map.
