Abstract

Inpainting represents a procedure which can restore the lost parts of an image based upon the residual information. We present an inpainting network that consists of an Encoder-Decoder pipeline and a multi-dimensional adversarial network. The Encoder-Decoder pipeline extracts features from the input image with missing area and learns these features. Through unsupervised learning, the pipeline can predict and fill the missing region with the most reasonable content. Meanwhile the multi-dimensional adversarial network identifies the difference between the ground truth and the generated images both in detail and in general. Compared with the traditional training procedure, our model combines with Wasserstein Distance that enhances the stability of network training. The network is training specifically on street view images and not only performs a satisfying outcome, but also shows competitiveness when comparing with existing methods.
