Optimization enabled deep learning approach with probabilistic fusion for image inpainting
S Kingsley, T. Sethukarasi · The Imaging Science Journal · 2023
Nowadays, various deep learning (DL) approaches have been devised for image inpainting, which provided a substantial improvement in image quality. However, these approaches have failed to reconstruct the accurate structure of the original image. Hence, this research devised a novel and effective image inpainting approach, namely Autoregressive Flower Pollination Student Psychology Optimization (ArFPSPO). The image inpainting is carried out based on a newly devised hybrid context DL with the hybrid optimization scheme. The designed hybrid context DL approach adopts three DL techniques, such as Context encoder (CE), Context-Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (CC-GAN), and Partial convolutional layer to complete the image inpainting process so that the outcomes are fused using probabilistic fusion with maximum entropy, thereby the final inpainted image is attained. Each of these three DL techniques is separately trained using a developed hybrid optimization technique. The experimental outcome reveals that the devised model gives optimal performance.
