SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDOOR IMAGE INPAINTING UNDER MULTIMODAL STRUCTURAL GUIDANCE

An inpainting method includes obtaining image information at an electronic device, where the image information identifies an area corresponding to a removed object within an image. The method also includes reconstructing the area corresponding to the removed object by (i) applying a semantic mask and a surface normal map to identify and rank neighboring contexts of the area and (ii) sampling, using an attention mechanism, the ranked contexts to generate pixel information for the area. The method further includes rendering the image with the reconstructed area.
