Auxiliary Loss Reweighting for Image Inpainting

Image Inpainting is a task that aims to fill in missing regions of corrupted images with plausible contents. Recent inpainting methods have introduced perceptual and style losses as auxiliary losses to guide the learning of inpainting generators. Perceptual and style losses help improve the perceptual quality of inpainted results by supervising deep features of generated regions. However, two challenges have emerged with the usage of auxiliary losses: (i) the time-consuming grid search is required to decide weights for perceptual and style losses to properly perform, and (ii) loss terms with different auxiliary abilities are equally weighted by perceptual and style losses. To meet these two challenges, we propose a novel framework that independently weights auxiliary loss terms and adaptively adjusts their weights within a single training process, without a time-consuming grid search. Specifically, to release the auxiliary potential of perceptual and style losses, we propose two auxiliary losses, Tunable Perceptual Loss (TPL) and Tunable Style Loss (TSL) by using different tunable weights to consider the contributions of different loss terms. TPL and TSL are supersets of perceptual and style losses and release the auxiliary potential of standard perceptual and style losses. We further propose the Auxiliary Weights Adaptation (AWA) algorithm, which efficiently reweights TPL and TSL in a single training process. AWA is based on the principle that the best auxiliary weights would lead to the most improvement in inpainting performance. We conduct experiments on publically available datasets and find that our framework helps current SOTA methods achieve better results.
