Study of inpainting based on generative AI for noise-canceling HMDs

Entering a small space such as an elevator or a crowded train with a stranger can cause discomfort and suffocation. This is because the stranger is invading the individual’s personal space. However, it is difficult to maintain an appropriate interpersonal distance from others at all times in various situations. Therefore, a noise-canceling HMD [2][3] that uses AR to change the size of the person in the field of vision has been proposed as a means of reducing noise such as discomfort caused by inappropriate interpersonal distance. In this paper, we propose an improvement method using generative AI for background completion in noise-canceling HMDs.
