Abstract

Techniques for reducing a distractor object in a first image are presented herein. A system can access a mask and the first image. A distractor object in the first image can be inside a region of interest and can have a pixel with an original attribute. Additionally, the system can process, using a machine-learned inpainting model, the first image and the mask to generate an inpainted image. The pixel of the distractor object in the inpainted image can have an inpainted attribute in chromaticity channels. Moreover, the system can determine a palette transform based on a comparison of the first image and the inpainted image. The transform attribute can be different from the inpainted attribute. Furthermore, the system can process the first image to generate a recolorized image. The pixel in the recolorized image can have a recolorized attribute based on the transform attribute of the palette transform.
