RePaint: Inpainting using Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models

Free-form inpainting is the task of adding new content to an image in the regions specified by an arbitrary binary mask. Re-Paint outperforms advanced Autoregressive, and GAN approaches for at least five out of six mask distributions.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 Most existing approaches train for a certain distribution of masks, which limits their generalization capabilities to unseen mask types.
• 2 Additionally, training with pixel-wise and perceptual losses often leads to simple textural extensions towards the missing areas instead of semantically meaningful generation.
• 3 In this work, we propose RePaint: A Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) based inpainting approach that is applicable to even extreme masks.
