This package provides a suite of inpainting methodologies aimed at reconstructing holes on images (128x128 pixels) extracted from a HEALPIX map.

Three inpainting techniques are included in PICASSO and can be divided into two main groups:

1. diffusive-based methods (Nearest-Neighbours)
2. learning-based methods that rely on training DCNNs to fill the missing pixels with the predictions learned from a training data-set (Deep-Prior and Generative Adversarial Networks, GAN ).

For further details see Puglisi et al. (2020) < >.

• tensorflow
• keras
• astropy
• reproject
• mpi4py (for parallel inpainting)
• argparse
• neuralgym with pip install git+https://github.com/JiahuiYu/neuralgym

git clone https://github.com/giuspugl/picasso
cd picasso
python setup.py install

Scripts are provided to the user in order to perform:

• projection from full sky HEALPIX maps to flat thumbnails images image_stacker
• inpainting on GPUs inpaint_gpu
• parallel inpainting on multiple processes (with mpi4py ) inpaint_mpi
• projection from flat images to HEALPIX inpaint_gpu

GAN training weights

Download the model directories (rename checkpoint.txt to checkpoint because google drive automatically add ext after download)
