This notebook demonstrates how to use an image in-painting model with OpenVINO, using GMCNN model from Open Model Zoo. This model, given a tampered image, is able to create something very similar to the original image. The Following pipeline will be used in this notebook. pipeline

Download the Model

Download gmcnn-places2-tfmodel (this step will be skipped if the model is already downloaded) and then unzip it. Downloaded model stored in TensorFlow frozen graph format. The steps how this frozen graph can be obtained from original model checkpoint can be found in this instruction

# A directory where the model will be downloaded.
base_model_dir = "model"
# The name of the model from Open Model Zoo.
model_name = "gmcnn-places2-tf"

model_path = Path(f"{base_model_dir}/public/{model_name}/frozen_model.pb")
if not model_path.exists():
    model_url = f"https://storage.openvinotoolkit.org/repositories/open_model_zoo/public/2022.1/gmcnn-places2-tf/{model_name}.zip"
    utils.download_file(model_url, model_name, base_model_dir)
else:
    print("Already downloaded")

with ZipFile(f'{base_model_dir}/{model_name}' + '', "r") as zip_ref:
    zip_ref.extractall(path=Path(base_model_dir, 'public', ))

Convert Tensorflow model to OpenVINO IR format

The pre-trained model is in TensorFlow format. To use it with OpenVINO, convert it to OpenVINO IR format with model conversion API. For more information about model conversion, see this page. This step is also skipped if the model is already converted.

model_dir = Path(base_model_dir, 'public', 'ir')
ir_path = Path(f"{model_dir}/frozen_model.xml")

# Run model conversion API to convert model to OpenVINO IR FP32 format, if the IR file does not exist.
if not ir_path.exists():
    ov_model = ov.convert_model(model_path, input=[[1,512,680,3],[1,512,680,1]])
    ov.save_model(ov_model, str(ir_path))
else:
    print(f"{ir_path} already exists.")
model/public/ir/frozen_model.xml already exists.

Load the model

Now, load the OpenVINO IR model and perform as follows:

  1. Initialize OpenVINO Runtime (Core).

  2. Read the network from *.bin and *.xml files (weights and architecture)

  3. Compile the model for the “CPU”.

  4. Get input and output nodes.

Only a few lines of code are required to run the model:

core = ov.Core()

# Read the model.xml and weights file
model = core.read_model(model=ir_path)
import ipywidgets as widgets

device = widgets.Dropdown(
    options=core.available_devices + ["AUTO"],
    value='AUTO',
    description='Device:',
    disabled=False,
)

device
Dropdown(description='Device:', index=2, options=('CPU', 'GPU', 'AUTO'), value='AUTO')
# Load the model on to the device
compiled_model = core.compile_model(model=model, device_name=device.value)
# Store the input and output nodes
input_layer = compiled_model.input(0)
output_layer = compiled_model.output(0)

Determine the input shapes of the model

Note that both input shapes are the same. However, the second input has 1 channel (monotone).

N, H, W, C = input_layer.shape

Create a square mask

Next, create a single channeled mask that will be laid on top of the original image.

def create_mask(image_width, image_height, size_x=30, size_y=30, number=1):
    """
    Create a square mask of defined size on a random location.

    :param: image_width: width of the image
    :param: image_height: height of the image
    :param: size: size in pixels of one side
    :returns:
            mask: grayscale float32 mask of size shaped [image_height, image_width, 1]
    """

    mask = np.zeros((image_height, image_width, 1), dtype=np.float32)
    for _ in range(number):
        start_x = np.random.randint(image_width - size_x)
        start_y = np.random.randint(image_height - size_y)
        cv2.rectangle(img=mask,
                      pt1=(start_x, start_y),
                      pt2=(start_x + size_x, start_y + size_y),
                      color=(1, 1, 1),
                      thickness=cv2.FILLED)
    return mask
# Generate a square mask of size WxH with number of "holes".
mask = create_mask(image_width=W, image_height=H, size_x=50, size_y=50, number=15)
# This mask will be laid over the input image as noise.
plt.figure(figsize=(16, 12))
plt.imshow(cv2.cvtColor(mask, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB));

Load and Resize the Image

This image will be altered by using the mask. You can process any image you like. Just change the URL below.

img_path = Path("data/laptop.png")

if not img_path.exists():
    # Download an image.
    url = "https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29454499/281372079-fa8d84c4-8bf9-4a82-a1b9-5a74ad42ce47.png"
    image_file = utils.download_file(
        url, filename="laptop.png", directory="data", show_progress=False, silent=True, timeout=30
    )

# Read the image.
image = cv2.imread(str(img_path))
# Resize the image to meet network expected input sizes.
resized_image = cv2.resize(src=image, dsize=(W, H), interpolation=cv2.INTER_AREA)
plt.figure(figsize=(16, 12))
plt.imshow(cv2.cvtColor(resized_image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB));
../_images/215-image-inpainting-with-output_17_0.png

Generating the Masked Image

This multiplication of the image and the mask gives the result of the masked image layered on top of the original image. The masked_image will be the first input to the GMCNN model.

# Generating a masked image.
masked_image = (resized_image * (1 - mask) + 255 * mask).astype(np.uint8)
plt.figure(figsize=(16, 12))
plt.imshow(cv2.cvtColor(masked_image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB));
../_images/215-image-inpainting-with-output_19_0.png

Preprocessing

The model expects the input dimensions to be NHWC.

  • masked_image.shape = (512,680,3) —–> model expects = (1,512,680,3)

  • resized_mask.shape = (512,680,1) —–> model expects = (1,512,680,1)

masked_image = masked_image[None, ...]
mask = mask[None, ...]

Inference

Do inference with the given masked image and the mask. Then, show the restored image.

result = compiled_model([ov.Tensor(masked_image.astype(np.float32)), ov.Tensor(mask.astype(np.float32))])[output_layer]
result = result.squeeze().astype(np.uint8)
plt.figure(figsize=(16, 12))
plt.imshow(cv2.cvtColor(result, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB));
../_images/215-image-inpainting-with-output_23_0.png

Save the Restored Image

Save the restored image to the data directory to download it.

cv2.imwrite("data/laptop_restored.png", result);
