Superpixel Based Inpainting for Interactive 3D Indoor Modeler

This paper discusses the new inpainting algorithm which uses the superpixel constraints with the Exemplar-based inpainting technique for bringing the realistic view in the 3D model developed by the interactive 3D indoor modeler. The inpainting algorithm is exclusively developed for the interactive 3D indoor modeler in which the user can create 3D indoor models from a single photo or multiple photos by simple interaction techniques based on computer vision principles. There are often invisible regions on some of the 3D planes since it is not easy to take a set of photos so that every region of the 3D models is included at least in one of those photos. Inpainting techniques may be employed for making up for the invisible regions with computer-generated texture patches and for merging the inpainted region with the neighboring visible regions. This paper describes the new inpainting technique that combines the Exemplar-based inpainting with the superpixel constraints in order to improve the structure propagation since the structures are important for indoor images.
