EdgeConnect: Generative Image Inpainting with Adversarial Edge Learning

ArXiv | BibTex

Introduction:

We develop a new approach for image inpainting that does a better job of reproducing filled regions exhibiting fine details inspired by our understanding of how artists work: lines first, color next. We propose a two-stage adversarial model EdgeConnect that comprises of an edge generator followed by an image completion network. The edge generator hallucinates edges of the missing region (both regular and irregular) of the image, and the image completion network fills in the missing regions using hallucinated edges as a priori. Detailed description of the system can be found in our paper.

(a) Input images with missing regions. The missing regions are depicted in white. (b) Computed edge masks. Edges drawn in black are computed (for the available regions) using Canny edge detector; whereas edges shown in blue are hallucinated by the edge generator network. (c) Image inpainting results of the proposed approach.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3
  • PyTorch 1.0
  • NVIDIA GPU + CUDA cuDNN

Installation

  • Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/knazeri/edge-connect.git
cd edge-connect
pip install -r requirements.txt

Datasets

We use Places2, CelebA and Paris Street-View datasets. To train a model on the full dataset, download datasets from official websites. Our model is trained on the irregular mask dataset provided by Liu et al.. You can download publically available train/test mask dataset from their website.

After downloading, run scripts/flist.py to generate train, test and validation set file lists. For example, to generate the training set file list on Places2 dataset run:

mkdir datasets
python ./scripts/flist.py --path path_to_places2_train_set --output ./datasets/places_train.flist

Getting Started

Download the pre-trained models using the following links and copy them under ./checkpoints directory.

Places2 | CelebA | Paris-StreetView

Alternatively, you can run the following script to automatically download the pre-trained models:

bash ./scripts/download_model.sh

1) Training

To train the model, create a config.yaml file similar to the example config file and copy it under your checkpoints directory. Read the configuration guide for more information on model configuration.

EdgeConnect is trained in three stages: 1) training the edge model, 2) training the inpaint model and 3) training the joint model. To train the model:

python train.py --model [stage] --checkpoints [path to checkpoints]

For example to train the edge model on Places2 dataset under ./checkpoints/places2 directory:

python train.py --model 1 --checkpoints ./checkpoints/places2

Convergence of the model differs from dataset to dataset. For example Places2 dataset converges in one of two epochs, while smaller datasets like CelebA require almost 40 epochs to converge. You can set the number of training iterations by changing MAX_ITERS value in the configuration file.

2) Testing

To test the model, create a config.yaml file similar to the example config file and copy it under your checkpoints directory. Read the configuration guide for more information on model configuration.

You can test the model on all three stages: 1) edge model, 2) inpaint model and 3) joint model. In each case, you need to provide an input image (image with a mask) and a grayscale mask file. Please make sure that the mask file covers the entire mask region in the input image. To test the model:

python test.py \
  --model [stage] \
  --checkpoints [path to checkpoints] \
  --input [path to input directory or file] \
  --mask [path to masks directory or mask file] \
  --output [path to the output directory]

We provide some test examples under ./examples directory. Please download the pre-trained models and run:

python test.py \
  --checkpoints ./checkpoints/places2 
  --input ./examples/places2/images 
  --mask ./examples/places2/masks
  --output ./checkpoints/results

This script will inpaint all images in ./examples/places2/images using their corresponding masks in ./examples/places2/mask directory and saves the results in ./checkpoints/results directory. By default test.py script is run on stage 3 (--model=3).

3) Evaluating

To evaluate the model, you need to first run the model in test mode against your validartion set and save the results on disk. We provide a utility ./scripts/metrics.py to evaluate the model using PSNR, SSIM and Mean Absolute Error:

python ./scripts/metrics.py --data-path [path to validation set] --output-path [path to model output]

To measure the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID score) run ./scripts/fid_score.py. We utilize the PyTorch implementation of FID from here which uses the pretrained weights from PyTorch's Inception model.

python ./scripts/fid_score.py --path [path to validation, path to model output] --gpu [GPU id to use]
