Abstract

An inpainting method includes obtaining an image including an object having a delicate shape and identifying a target region within the image, where the target region is adjacent to the object. The method also includes using a first mask to separate the image into a number of semantic categories and aggregating neighboring contexts for the target region based on the semantic categories. The method further includes restoring, based on the aggregated contexts, textures in the target region without affecting the delicate shape of the object. In addition, the method includes displaying a refined image including the restored textures in the target region and the object.
