In LBM paper, the noise and the conditioning image are merged into a single composite image.

Unlike other inpainting methods (which typically grey-mask the missing area), LBM replaces the masked region with uniformly sampled random pixels.

Intuitively, since LBM is trained from a text-to-image (T2I) model, those random pixels act as a strong signal to the pretrained model — essentially saying: “This is where you can do your generative magic.”
