Weekend Hobbies: Computing with a Bucket of Water
Task: Image Inpainting / Masked Image Modeling.
Approach: We turned image grid into a physical bucket of water filled with tiny motors. The technical term for this approach is a Spatio-Temporal Continuous Dynamical System operating as an Attractor Network.When applied to images, it is specifically referred to as Oscillatory Image Relaxation. We are mapping a visual scene directly onto a physical system governed by differential equations, allowing it to relax into a state of minimal energy (a synchronized attractor) to resolve the missing pieces.
