Semantic Image Completion and Enhancement using GANs
Priyansh Saxena Raahat Gupta Akshat Maheshwari Saumil Maheshwari
Semantic inpainting or image completion alludes to the task of inferring
arbitrary large missing regions in images based on image semantics. Since the
prediction of image pixels requires an indication of high-level context, this
makes it significantly tougher than image completion, which is often more
concerned with correcting data corruption and removing entire objects from the
input image. On the other hand, image enhancement attempts to eliminate
unwanted noise and blur from the image, along with sustaining most of the image
details. Efficient image completion and enhancement model should be able to
recover the corrupted and masked regions in images and then refine the image
further to increase the quality of the output image. Generative Adversarial
Networks (GAN), have turned out to be helpful in picture completion tasks. In
this chapter, we will discuss the underlying GAN architecture and how they can
be used used for image completion tasks.
