Abstract: Methods and systems for high-resolution image inpainting are disclosed. An original high-resolution image to be inpainted is obtained, as well as an inpainting mask indicating an inside-mask area to be inpainted. The original high-resolution image is down-sampled to obtain a low-resolution image to be inpainted. Using a trained inpainting generator, a low-resolution inpainted image and a set of attention scores are generated from the low-resolution image. The attention scores represent the similarity between inside-mask regions and outside-mask regions. A high-frequency residual image is computed from the original high-resolution image. An aggregated high-frequency residual image is generated using the attention scores, including high-frequency residual information for the inside-mask area. A high-resolution inpainted image is outputted by combining the aggregated high-frequency residual image and a low-frequency inpainted image generated from the low-resolution inpainted image.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application relate to a method and a device for protecting privacy. The method includes: sending, by a remote terminal, a first message to a mobility management entity by using a relay terminal, where the first message includes first identity information of the remote terminal, and the first message is used by the mobility management entity to obtain an international mobile subscriber identity IMSI of the remote terminal based on the first identity information of the remote terminal, where the first identity information is a proximity service relay user key identity PRUK ID. Because the first identity information is used to replace the IMSI, interception of the IMSI by the relay terminal is avoided, and user privacy is protected.
