Context-Aware Mutual Learning for Blind Image Inpainting and Beyond

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 13, 2026 · UTC

Blind image inpainting, aiming to recover contaminated images in the case of unknown masks, is a challenging task. Motivated by the perspective of human vision and knowledge, blind image inpainting can be decomposed into two stages: mask estimation and image inpainting based on the estimated mask. The two-stage idea exhibits evident advantages in enhancing inpainting quality and augmenting the generalization capability of unknown real-world contamination by explicitly employing the estimated mask for image inpainting compared to one-stage scheme. This two-stage idea has also been intuitively i
