NonLocal and Flow consistency threshold disabled

[gaochen315]

Currently, I disable the usage of the non-local flow for a faster speed. But I do provide the non-local implementation in get_flowNN.py so it should be easy to use.

Your interpretation in consistencyThres is correct. If we are too strict with it, the algorithm will prefer the per-frame inpainted content to the propagated content, tho the quality may not be very good. If the constraint is too loose (inf), the algorithm will propagate everything. The result is smooth but probably incorrect.

If you really care about the correctness, I'll suggest using consistencyThres=5. The reason I set the default to be inf is that

1> it speeds up the process, and
2> our seamless blending will make sure to smoothen the propagated content so that the final result is plausible (even though it is not correct).

Hope this helps!

Thanks! Your answer really helps!

One more question, please. Is the same set of parameters recommended for the fixed region removal task， too?

[gaochen315]

Yep, I use the same set of parameters.

You can always start with consistencyThres=5 and then adjust. If you enable seamless blending, I'll suggest using a looser threshold, i.e. 99.

Sorry for the late reply. Let me know if you have other questions.

@gaochen315
if the mask part is small, the consistencyThres will be small ?
