SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INPAINTING IMAGES AT INCREASED RESOLUTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18022396 Titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INPAINTING IMAGES AT INCREASED RESOLUTION'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for inpainting masked regions in an input image using neural networks. The method involves using a first neural network to inpaint the masked regions at a lower resolution, and then increasing the resolution to create a second inpainted image with higher resolution. This second inpainted image is then provided to a second neural network, which produces a refined version of the inpainted image at the higher resolution.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes receiving an input image. The input image corresponds to one or more masked regions to be inpainted. The method includes providing the input image to a first neural network. The first neural network outputs a first inpainted image at a first resolution, and the one or more masked regions are inpainted in the first inpainted image. The method includes creating a second inpainted image by increasing a resolution of the first inpainted image from the first resolution to a second resolution. The second resolution is greater than the first resolution such that the one or more inpainted masked regions have an increased resolution. The method includes providing the second inpainted image to a second neural network. The second neural network outputs a first refined inpainted image at the second resolution, and the first refined inpainted image is a refined version of the second inpainted image.
