Feature learning and patch matching for diverse image inpainting

作者:

Highlights:

• An exemplar-based inpainting is introduced to inpaint free-form holes with diverse plausible contents.

• Design a U-Net-like learning model for semantic inpainting with better color consistency.

• Apply patch matching on multiple exemplars to improve inpainting diversity and quality.

• Experiments demonstrate our proposed approach is effective for diverse image completion.
