What is outpainting?
Outpainting: Extending an image beyond its original borders by generating new content that continues the scene consistently. The existing picture is kept as context and the model synthesises the missing surroundings, often used to change aspect ratios.
Outpainting: an example
A square 1080 x 1080 product shot is extended sideways to a 1920 x 1080 banner by generating matching background.
