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.

Exploiting Deep Generative Prior for Versatile Image Restoration and Manipulation

TL;DR: This work presents an effective way to exploit the image prior captured by a generative adversarial network (GAN) trained on large-scale natural images by allowing the generator to be fine-tuned on-the-fly in a progressive manner regularized by feature distance obtained by the discriminator in GAN.

Watch Your Up-Convolution: CNN Based Generative Deep Neural Networks Are Failing to Reproduce Spectral Distributions

TL;DR: This paper proposes to add a novel spectral regularization term to the training optimization objective and shows that this approach not only allows to train spectral consistent GANs that are avoiding high frequency errors but also shows that a correct approximation of the frequency spectrum has positive effects on the training stability and output quality of generative networks.

Coherent Semantic Attention for Image Inpainting

TL;DR: This work investigates the human behavior in repairing pictures and proposes a fined deep generative model-based approach with a novel coherent semantic attention (CSA) layer, which can not only preserve contextual structure but also make more effective predictions of missing parts by modeling the semantic relevance between the holes features.

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.
