Inpainting digital images using a hybrid wire removal pipeline

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for inpainting a digital image using a hybrid wire removal pipeline. For example, the disclosed systems use a hybrid wire removal pipeline that integrates multiple machine learning models, such as a wire segmentation model, a hole separation model, a mask dilation model, a patch-based inpainting model, and a deep inpainting model. Using the hybrid wire removal pipeline, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a wire segmentation from a digital image depicting one or more wires. The disclosed systems also utilize the hybrid wire removal pipeline to extract or identify portions of the wire segmentation that indicate specific wires or portions of wires. In certain embodiments, the disclosed systems further inpaint pixels of the digital image corresponding to the wires indicated by the wire segmentation mask using the patch-based inpainting model and/or the deep inpainting model.
