Inpainting-based image compression is a promising alternative to classical transform-based lossy codecs. Typically it stores a carefully selected subset of all pixel locations and their colour values. In the decoding phase the missing…
Image rescaling is a commonly used bidirectional operation, which first downscales high-resolution images to fit various display screens or to be storage- and bandwidth-friendly, and afterward upscales the corresponding low-resolution…
Diffusion models are now the undisputed state-of-the-art for image generation and image restoration. However, they require large amounts of computational power for training and inference. In this paper, we propose lightweight diffusion…
Single image inverse problem is a notoriously challenging ill-posed problem that aims to restore the original image from one of its corrupted versions. Recently, this field has been immensely influenced by the emergence of deep-learning…
The problem of inpainting involves reconstructing the missing areas of an image. Inpainting has many applications, such as reconstructing old damaged photographs or removing obfuscations from images. In this paper we present the directional…
Image inpainting seeks a semantically consistent way to recover the corrupted image in the light of its unmasked content. Previous approaches usually reuse the well-trained GAN as effective prior to generate realistic patches for missing…
We present a new image inpainting algorithm, the Averaging and Hypoelliptic Evolution (AHE) algorithm, inspired by the one presented in [SIAM J. Imaging Sci., vol. 7, no. 2, pp. 669--695, 2014] and based upon a semi-discrete variation of…
We provide a theoretical justification for sample recovery using diffusion based image inpainting in a linear model setting. While most inpainting algorithms require retraining with each new mask, we prove that diffusion based inpainting…
Invisible watermarks safeguard images' copyrights by embedding hidden messages only detectable by owners. They also prevent people from misusing images, especially those generated by AI models. We propose a family of regeneration attacks to…
This paper examines the limitations of advanced text-to-image models in accurately rendering unconventional concepts which are scarcely represented or absent in their training datasets. We identify how these limitations not only confine the…

People enjoy food photography because they appreciate food. Behind each meal there is a story described in a complex recipe and, unfortunately, by simply looking at a food image we do not have access to its preparation process. Therefore,…
Recovering the missing regions of an image is a task that is called image inpainting. Depending on the shape of missing areas, different methods are presented in the literature. One of the challenges of this problem is extracting features…
The rapid growth of the Internet, driven by social media, web browsing, and video streaming, has made images central to the Web experience, resulting in significant data transfer and increased webpage sizes. Traditional image compression…
In this paper, we address the problem of degradation in inpainting quality of neural networks operating at high resolutions. Inpainting networks are often unable to generate globally coherent structures at resolutions higher than their…
Recent advancements in generative AI have made text-guided image inpainting - adding, removing, or altering image regions using textual prompts - widely accessible. However, generating semantically correct photorealistic imagery, typically…
Inversion by Direct Iteration (InDI) is a new formulation for supervised image restoration that avoids the so-called "regression to the mean" effect and produces more realistic and detailed images than existing regression-based methods. It…
This article introduces Recursivism as a conceptual framework for analyzing contemporary artistic practices in the age of artificial intelligence. While recursion is precisely defined in mathematics and computer science, it has not…
The goal of attribute manipulation is to control specified attribute(s) in given images. Prior work approaches this problem by learning disentangled representations for each attribute that enables it to manipulate the encoded source…
Recent image restoration methods have produced significant advancements using deep learning. However, existing methods tend to treat the whole image as a single entity, failing to account for the distinct objects in the image that exhibit…
