As a specific application of image inpainting, face inpainting is a critical content in the computer vision. It plays an important role in object removal, photo editing and other fields. Deep learning has become the mainstream approach of image inpainting. In specific applications, the corrupted area of face images is usually irregular. For the classical irregular face inpainting approaches based on deep learning, this paper divides it into convolution operator optimization methods and structural information constraint methods, the former includes PConv and GConv and the latter includes EC, PRVS, MED, CTSDG. We fist describe the basic principle of each algorithm and detail about the strengths and limitations. Then we experiment on CelebA-HQ dataset, evaluate and compare the performance quantitatively and qualitatively.
