Opinion about implementation feasibility (Patch Match algorithm)

[tom (Thomas V)]

Hello Filippos,

it would sound like it is feasible (note that there also is a PatchMatch wikipedia page). A month ago, Francisco Massa suggested a possible approach for implementation that should be relatively easy to follow:

Need urgent help to implement Patch Match in Pytorch

As I mentioned on Twitter, I’d start with something based on numpy and adapt/optimize for pytorch. Something like https://github.com/jabooth/patchmatch/blob/master/patchmatch.py for example. It will be definitely slower than using hand-made kernels, but will definitely be easier to debug. Good luck!

Of course, we’d love to see your implementation once it is done.

Best regards

Thomas
