| Abstract | Deep learning has been widely applied for jobs involving face inpainting, however, there are usually some problems, such as incoherent inpainting edges, lack of diversity of generated images and other problems. In order to get more feature information and improve the inpainting effect, we therefore propose a Generative Adversarial Network of Skip Connection (SCGAN), which connects the encoder layers and the decoder layers by skip connection in the generator. The coherence and consistency of the image inpainting edges are improved, and the finer features of the image inpainting are refined, simultaneously using the discriminator's local and global double discriminators model. We also employ WGAN-GP loss to enhance model stability during training, prevent model collapse, and increase the variety of inpainting face images. Finally, experiments on the CelebA dataset and the LFW dataset are performed, and the model's performance is assessed using the PSNR and SSIM indices. Our model's face image inpainting is more realistic and coherent than that of other models, and the model training is more reliable. |
