An image inpainting method based on the high-efficiency transformer

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an image restoration network that is based on the High-Efficiency Transformer (HET). The model utilizes fast Fourier convolution for image enhancement, incorporates self-attention mechanisms for capturing contextual information, and employs convolution for feature extraction and classification. Additionally, we improve the network's performance and convergence speed by implementing batch normalization and residual concatenation. Experimental results show substantial enhancements in image restoration achieved through our deep learning-based approach. The reconstructed images demonstrate improved clarity, enhanced details, and reduced dependence on manual interventions.
