VAE for Facial Inpainting: A Look at Image Restoration Techniques
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •VAEs are employed for image inpainting, extending their use beyond image generation.
- •The CelebA dataset is used to train and evaluate the VAE's inpainting capabilities on facial images.
- •The article implicitly suggests the potential of VAEs for image restoration applications.
“Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are known as image generation models, but can also be used for 'image correction tasks' such as inpainting and noise removal.”
