  • Aiming at the problem of obvious visual artifacts in the content of rough network with less prior knowledge, a two-stage image inpainting method based on an edge structure generator is proposed. The edge structure generator is used to perform feature learning on the input image edge and color smoothing information, and generate the missing structural contents so as to guide the fine network to reconstruct high-quality semantic images. The mentioned method has been tested on the public benchmark datasets such as Paris Street-View. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can complete the hole images with the mask rate of 50%. The quantitative evaluation indicators: PSNR, SSIM, L1 and L2 errors respectively surpass current images inpainting algorithms with excellent performance, such as EC, GC, SF, etc. Among them, when the mask rate is 0%-20%, the PSNR index reaches 33.40 dB, which is an increase of 2.37-6.57 dB compared to other methods; the SSIM index is increased by 0.006-0.138. Meanwhile, the completed images get clearer texture and higher visual quality.
