LaMa is arguably the most influential open-source model for image inpainting released in recent years. It stands for La rge Ma sk Inpainting. Unlike older models that struggled with large removed areas, LaMa uses Fourier convolutions to understand the structure of the image. This allows it to remove thick watermarks and fill the space with plausible textures that match the rest of the photo.
