• Abstract summary: In image inpainting tasks, masks with any shapes can appear anywhere in images which form complex patterns. It is difficult for encoders to capture such powerful representations under this complex situation. We propose a self-supervised Siamese inference network to improve the robustness and generalization.

• Abstract: Most deep learning based image inpainting approaches adopt autoencoder or its variants to fill missing regions in images. Encoders are usually utilized to learn powerful representational spaces, which are important for dealing with sophisticated learning tasks. Specifically, in image inpainting tasks, masks with any shapes can appear anywhere in images (i.e., free-form masks) which form complex patterns. It is difficult for encoders to capture such powerful representations under this complex situation. To tackle this problem, we propose a self-supervised Siamese inference network to improve the robustness and generalization. It can encode contextual semantics from full resolution images and obtain more discriminative representations. we further propose a multi-scale decoder with a novel dual attention fusion module (DAF), which can combine both the restored and known regions in a smooth way. This multi-scale architecture is beneficial for decoding discriminative representations learned by encoders into images layer by layer. In this way, unknown regions will be filled naturally from outside to inside. Qualitative and quantitative experiments on multiple datasets, including facial and natural datasets (i.e., Celeb-HQ, Pairs Street View, Places2 and ImageNet), demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in generating high-quality inpainting results.

  Inpainting can be used to conceal or alter image contents in malicious manipulation of images.

Experiments on several benchmark datasets demonstrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy while maintaining a relatively low number of parameters and computational complexity.

  Restoring reasonable and realistic content for arbitrary missing regions in images is an important yet challenging task. Recent image inpainting models have made significant progress in generating vivid visual details, but they can still lead to texture blurring or structural distortions. We propose the Semantic Pyramid Network (SPN) motivated by the idea that learning multi-scale semantic priors can greatly benefit the recovery of locally missing content in images.
