AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing image restoration methods are ineffective when large areas are missing. Traditional methods are computationally intensive and slow, while deep learning-based methods lack global feature extraction capabilities, resulting in disordered contours in the restoration results.

Method used

An image inpainting method based on generative adversarial networks is adopted, which combines U-Net network and spatial attention mechanism. It extracts large-scale multi-scale feature information through improved dilated convolution gated residual blocks, and uses a weighted loss function of minimum absolute error loss and bulldozer distance loss for training, combined with a penalty function for regularization.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the image restoration effect in cases of large-area loss, enhances the global consistency and quality of the generated image, and achieves better restoration results.
