To generate a Stochastic Completion Field (SCF) for two points as discussed in our BMVC 2021 paper, run the code in Stochastic_Completion_Fields_Pipeline.ipynb. In our paper, we integrate this SCF generating framework with image inpainting and denoising.

In this folder you will find a simple Monte-Carlo algorithm that generates approximate Stochastic Completion Fields using random walks. For details, see the included Random_Walks.pdf file inside this folder.

Our pipeline to generate Stochastic Completion Fields (SCFs) using the command line. This pipeline generates .npz files, which we integrated with EdgeConnect and Image Denoising algorithms to achieve the results in our paper.

Inside the config folder, we provide a sample source and sink configuration for our SCF. Run the following command.

python3 experiment_runner.py --config_file configs/two_points.yml --experiment_dir experiments/two_points/

The results will be saved in the experiments directory that we specify. In this case, experiments/two_points/. In here, the completion field will be saved as a .npz file. You may use this .npz file in any application you wish.
