Inpainting

Generative AI

A technique where a generative model fills in missing or masked regions of an image in a way that is coherent with the surrounding content. Originally a digital restoration technique, AI-powered inpainting allows users to remove unwanted objects from photos or seamlessly replace portions of an image with new generated content.
