Inspired by the concept of inpainting from the field of image processing, the goal is to reconstruct the high-frequency region (i.e., above a cutoff frequency) of a time-frequency representation given the observation of a band-limited version. The reconstructed time-frequency representation is then inverted using the phase information from the band-limited input to provide an enhanced musical output. The performance of two musically adapted CNN architectures are compared, where each has been trained separately using the STFT and the invertible CQT as input.

The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated via the signal to distortion ratio and via a set of audio examples.
