Generative Image Inpainting with Dilated Deformable Convolution

Abstract

The image generation and completion model complement the missing area of the image to be repaired according to the image itself or the information of the image library so that the repaired image looks very natural and difficult to distinguish from the undamaged image. The difficulty of image generation and completion lies in the reasonableness of image semantics and the clear and true texture of the generated image. In this paper, a Wasserstein generative adversarial network with dilated convolution and deformable convolution (DDC-WGAN) is proposed for image completion. A deformable offset is added based on dilated convolution, which enlarges the receptive field and provides a more stable representation of geometric deformation. Experiments show that the DDC-WGAN method proposed in this paper has better performance in image generation and complementation than the traditional generative adversarial complementation network.
