Image Representation with Nonsymmetric Region Based on Segmentation and Inpainting Techniques

In this paper, we propose a method to represent the image based on the image color constitute region, to retain the color texture information, and to reconstruct image by interpolation. The image would be segmented by the watershed algorithm to get color gradient direction as the texture information, and be represented by asymmetric and anti-packing model. The gradient direction would indicate the color trend layer and the image would be decomposed into multiple tone area. Each region of the image intensity extreme value and the gradient change direction would be used to inpaint the image intensity of rest position by linear interpolation. Because the image inpainting by linear interpolation, the smaller variation of intensity tendency, the more color composition regions are used, and the higher quality of image.
