• Abstract summary: This chapter describes the design of an academic competition focusing on inpainting of images and video sequences. The ChaLearn Looking at People Inpainting Challenge aimed at advancing the state of the art on visual inpainting. Three tracks were proposed in which visual inpainting might be helpful but still challenging: human body pose estimation, text overlays removal and fingerprint denoising.

• Abstract: Dealing with incomplete information is a well studied problem in the context of machine learning and computational intelligence. However, in the context of computer vision, the problem has only been studied in specific scenarios (e.g., certain types of occlusions in specific types of images), although it is common to have incomplete information in visual data. This chapter describes the design of an academic competition focusing on inpainting of images and video sequences that was part of the competition program of WCCI2018 and had a satellite event collocated with ECCV2018. The ChaLearn Looking at People Inpainting Challenge aimed at advancing the state of the art on visual inpainting by promoting the development of methods for recovering missing and occluded information from images and video. Three tracks were proposed in which visual inpainting might be helpful but still challenging: human body pose estimation, text overlays removal and fingerprint denoising. This chapter describes the design of the challenge, which includes the release of three novel datasets, and the description of evaluation metrics, baselines and evaluation protocol. The results of the challenge are analyzed and discussed in detail and conclusions derived from this event are outlined.

  This paper comprehensively reviews the deep learning-based methods for image and video inpainting. We sort existing methods into different categories from the perspective of their high-level inpainting pipeline. We present evaluation metrics for low-level pixel and high-level perceptional similarity, conduct a performance evaluation, and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of representative inpainting methods.

  Text-to-image diffusion models have shown great potential for benefiting image recognition. Although promising, there has been inadequate exploration dedicated to unsupervised learning on diffusion-generated images. We introduce customized solutions by fully exploiting the aforementioned free attention masks.
