摘要
Current image inpainting methods mainly rely on automatic encoding and decoding networks. These methods try to use the information compressed in the encoding stage to restore an original image in the decoding stage. While, it is difficult to reconstruct detailed inpainting results by using only compressed information. Due to the loss of information during compression, there are visual artifacts in the results, such as blurring and obvious edge response around the reconstructed area. Aimed at the problem of incomplete utilization of image information, this manuscript proposed a multi-stage decoding network (MSDN). The MSDN decodes and aggregates features of each layer in the encoder by multiple decoders successively, which can increase utilization of features from different layers in the encoding stage and obtain better feature maps to reflect the defected area. The experiment results, which are conducted on internationally recognized datasets, show that visual effects of images generated by MSDN have been improved. © 2022, Chinese Institute of Electronics.
