Analysis of a Two-scale Cahn-hilliard Model for Image Inpainting

چکیده
Image inpainting is the process of filling in missing parts of damaged images based on information gleaned from surrounding areas. We consider a model for inpainting binary images using a modified Cahn-Hilliard equation. We prove for the steady state problem that the isophote directions are matched at the boundary of inpainting regions. Our model has two scales, the diffuse interface scale, ε, on which it can accomplish topological transitions, and the feature scale of the image. We show via simulations that a dynamic two step method involving the diffuse interface scale allows us to connect regions across larger inpainting domains. For the model problem of stripe inpainting, we show that this issue is related to a bifurcation structure with respect to the scale ε.

متن کاملFinite-dimensional attractors for the Bertozzi-Esedoglu-Gillette-Cahn-Hilliard equation in image inpainting
In this article, we are interested in the study of the asymptotic behavior, in terms of finite-dimensional attractors, of a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a fidelity term (integrated over Ω\D instead of the entire domain Ω, D ⊂⊂ Ω). Such a model has, in particular, applications in image inpainting. The difficulty here is that we no longer have the conservation of mass, i.e. o...
متن کاملA generalization of Cahn-Hilliard inpainting for grayvalue images
The Cahn-Hilliard equation has its origin in material sciences and serves as a model for phase separation and phase coarsening in binary alloys. A new approach in the class of fourth order inpainting algorithms is inpainting of binary images using the Cahn-Hilliard equation. We will present a generalization of this fourth order approach for grayvalue images. This is realized by using subgradien...
متن کاملInpainting of Binary Images Using the Cahn-Hilliard Equation
Image inpainting is the filling in of missing or damaged regions of images using information from surrounding areas. We outline here the use of a model for binary inpainting based on the Cahn-Hilliard equation, which allows for fast, efficient inpainting of degraded text, as well as super-resolution of high contrast images.
متن کاملCahn--Hilliard Inpainting and a Generalization for Grayvalue Images
The Cahn-Hilliard equation is a nonlinear fourth order diffusion equation originating in material science for modeling phase separation and phase coarsening in binary alloys. The inpainting of binary images using the Cahn-Hilliard equation is a new approach in image processing. In this paper we discuss the stationary state of the proposed model and introduce a generalization for grayvalue image...
