Patent number: 11935214Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for an end-to-end solution for object removal from a video using adaptive learning. In one or more embodiments, using a pre-trained image inpainting model, in-scene training data may be generated using optical-flow guided sampling. In one or more embodiments, the sampled patches are used to generate a training dataset, which is used to further train the image inpainting model until reaching a stop condition. The adaptively trained inpainting model may be used to generate a modified video in which the desired object or objects have been removed and the corresponding removed portion(s) have been filled (or inpainted) to preserve the integrity of the image.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Baidu USA LLCInventors: Zhihong Pan, Daming Lu, Xi Chen
