Automated pixel error detection using an inpainting neural network

Abstract:

According to one implementation, a pixel error detection system includes a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to receive an input image, to mask, using an inpainting neural network (NN), one or more patch(es) of the input image, and to inpaint, using the inpainting NN, the masked patch(es) based an input image pixels neighboring each of the masked patch(es). The hardware processor is configured to further execute the software code to generate, using the inpainting NN, a residual image based on differences between the inpainted masked patch(es) and the patch(es) in the input image and to identify one or more anomalous pixel(s) in the input image using the residual image.
