New AID method improves image inpainting with diffusion models

Researchers have developed a new method called Amortized Inpainting with Diffusion (AID) for image inpainting using pretrained diffusion models. AID trains a small, reusable guidance module offline, which can then be applied to masked images without per-instance optimization. This approach offers an improved quality-speed trade-off compared to existing methods, with minimal trainable overhead. AI

IMPACT Offers a more efficient approach to image inpainting, potentially improving generative model applications.

    Amortized Guidance for Image Inpainting with Pretrained Diffusion Models

    We study image inpainting with generative diffusion models. Existing methods typically either train dedicated task-specific models, or adapt a pretrained diffusion model separately for each masked image at deployment. We introduce a middle-ground model, termed Amortized Inpaintin…
