• Abstract: Image inpainting, the process of restoring missing or corrupted regions of an image by reconstructing pixel information, has recently seen considerable advancements through deep learning-based approaches. In this paper, we introduce a novel deep learning-based pre-processing methodology for image inpainting utilizing the Vision Transformer (ViT). Our approach involves replacing masked pixel values with those generated by the ViT, leveraging diverse visual patches within the attention matrix to capture discriminative spatial features. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first instance of such a pre-processing model being proposed for image inpainting tasks. Furthermore, we show that our methodology can be effectively applied using the pre-trained ViT model with pre-defined patch size. To evaluate the generalization capability of the proposed methodology, we provide experimental results comparing our approach with four standard models across four public datasets, demonstrating the efficacy of our pre-processing technique in enhancing inpainting performance.

  We make the first attempt to align diffusion models for image inpainting with human aesthetic standards via a reinforcement learning framework. We train a reward model with a dataset we construct, consisting of nearly 51,000 images annotated with human preferences. Experiments on inpainting comparison and downstream tasks, such as image extension and 3D reconstruction, demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

  We introduce a novel partial discrete diffusion process (PDDP) for sketch-guided inpainting. PDDP corrupts the masked regions of the image and reconstructs these masked regions conditioned on hand-drawn sketches. The proposed novel transformer module accepts two inputs -- the image containing the masked region to be inpainted and the query sketch to model the reverse diffusion process.

  This study introduces an innovative, fine-grained dimension by integrating patch-level discrimination into self-supervised visual representation learning. We employ a distinctive photometric patch-level augmentation, where each patch is individually augmented, independent from other patches within the same view. We present a simple yet effective patch-matching algorithm to find the corresponding patches across the augmented views.
