Abstract

In some image restoration algorithms of the past, they often do not consider the continuity between pixels, and the internal features of the hole region. The mapping to the image semantically does not take into account the continuity of the feature, resulting in the color of the fault. Or the deformation of the edge contour of the image. In some of the current popular algorithms and models, we can clearly see the color faults and artificial repair traces from their repair results. These discontinuities are mainly because these methods ignore the semantic relevance and feature continuity of the hole region. Therefore, if we want to get a better image repair effect. We have to improve on semantic relevance and feature continuity. We validated the effectiveness of our proposed method in image restoration tasks on the CelebA and Places2 datasets, and our results yielded a better visual experience in some images than existing methods.
