ORCA: An end-to-end video object removal framework with cropping interested region and quality assessment

Abstract

Recently, various types of Video Inpainting models have been released. Video Inpainting is used to naturally erase the object you want to erase in the video. However, to use inpainting models, we usually need frames extracted from a video and masks and most people make these data manually. We propose a novel End-to-End Video Object Removal framework with Cropping Interested Region and Video Quality Assessment (ORCA). ORCA is built in an end-to-end way by combining the Detection, Segmentation, and Inpainting modules. The characteristics of proposed framework are going through the cropping step before inpainting step. In addition, We propose our own video quality assessment since ORCA use two models for inpainting. Our new metric indicates the higher quality of the results between two models. Experimental results show the superior performance of the proposed methods.
