Abstract
A method includes receiving an input image. The input image corresponds to one or more masked regions to be inpainted. The method includes providing the input image to a first neural network. The first neural network outputs a first inpainted image at a first resolution, and the one or more masked regions are inpainted in the first inpainted image. The method includes creating a second inpainted image by increasing a resolution of the first inpainted image from the first resolution to a second resolution. The second resolution is greater than the first resolution such that the one or more inpainted masked regions have an increased resolution. The method includes providing the second inpainted image to a second neural network. The second neural network outputs a first refined inpainted image at the second resolution, and the first refined inpainted image is a refined version of the second inpainted image.
