<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The integration of convolutional neural network (CNN) and transformer enhances the network’s capacity for concurrent modeling of texture details and global structures. However, training challenges with transformer limit their effectiveness to low-resolution images, leading to increased artifacts in slightly larger images. In this paper, we propose a single-stage network utilizing large kernel attention (LKA) to address high-resolution damaged images. LKA enables the capture of both global and local details, akin to transformer and CNN networks, resulting in high-quality inpainting. Our method excels in: (1) reducing parameters, improving inference speed, and enabling direct training on 1024<jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$\times $$</jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
