• Abstract summary: We propose SePaint, an inpainting model for semantic data based on generative multinomial diffusion. We propose a novel and efficient condition strategy, Look-Back Condition (LB-Con), which performs one-step look-back operations. We have conducted extensive experiments on different datasets, showing our proposed model outperforms commonly used methods in various robotic applications.

• Abstract: Prediction beyond partial observations is crucial for robots to navigate in unknown environments because it can provide extra information regarding the surroundings beyond the current sensing range or resolution. In this work, we consider the inpainting of semantic Bird's-Eye-View maps. We propose SePaint, an inpainting model for semantic data based on generative multinomial diffusion. To maintain semantic consistency, we need to condition the prediction for the missing regions on the known regions. We propose a novel and efficient condition strategy, Look-Back Condition (LB-Con), which performs one-step look-back operations during the reverse diffusion process. By doing so, we are able to strengthen the harmonization between unknown and known parts, leading to better completion performance. We have conducted extensive experiments on different datasets, showing our proposed model outperforms commonly used interpolation methods in various robotic applications.

  We propose Diff-Mosaic, a data augmentation method based on the diffusion model. We introduce an enhancement network called Pixel-Prior, which generates highly coordinated and realistic Mosaic images. In the second stage, we propose an image enhancement strategy named Diff-Prior. This strategy utilizes diffusion priors to model images in the real-world scene.
