• Abstract: In recent years, some researchers focused on using a single image to obtain a large number of samples through multi-scale features. This study intends to a brand-new idea that requires only ten or even fewer samples to construct the low-rank structural-Hankel matrices-assisted score-based generative model (SHGM) for color image inpainting task. During the prior learning process, a certain amount of internal-middle patches are firstly extracted from several images and then the structural-Hankel matrices are constructed from these patches. To better apply the score-based generative model to learn the internal statistical distribution within patches, the large-scale Hankel matrices are finally folded into the higher dimensional tensors for prior learning. During the iterative inpainting process, SHGM views the inpainting problem as a conditional generation procedure in low-rank environment. As a result, the intermediate restored image is acquired by alternatively performing the stochastic differential equation solver, alternating direction method of multipliers, and data consistency steps. Experimental results demonstrated the remarkable performance and diversity of SHGM.

• Estimating Appearance Models for Image Segmentation via Tensor Factorization [0.0]
  We propose a new approach to directly estimate appearance models from the image without prior information on the underlying segmentation. Our method uses local high order color statistics from the image as an input to tensor factorization-based estimator for latent variable models. This approach is able to estimate models in multiregion images and automatically output the regions proportions without prior user interaction.

  We introduce FewGAN, a generative model for generating novel, high-quality and diverse images. FewGAN is a hierarchical patch-GAN that applies quantization at the first coarse scale, followed by a pyramid of residual fully convolutional GANs at finer scales. In an extensive set of experiments, it is shown that FewGAN outperforms baselines both quantitatively and qualitatively.

  Internal learning for single-image generation is a framework, where a generator is trained to produce novel images based on a single image. We propose a meta-learning approach that enables training over a collection of images, in order to model the internal statistics of the sample image more effectively. Our results show that the models obtained are as suitable as single-image GANs for many common image applications.
