Abstract

In this paper we present a trained diffusion model for image inpainting based on the structural similarity measure. The proposed diffusion model uses several parametrized linear filters and influence functions. Those parameters are learned in a loss based approach, where we first perform a greedy training before conducting a joint training to further improve the inpainting performance. We provide a detailed comparison to state-of-the-art inpainting algorithms based on the TUM-image inpainting database. The experimental results show that the proposed diffusion model is efficient and achieves superior performance. Moreover, we also demonstrate that the proposed method has a texture preserving property, that makes it stand out from previous PDE based methods.
