Image inpainting technique uses structural and textural information to repair or fill missing regions of a picture. Inspired by human visual characteristics, we introduce a new image inpainting approach which includes salient structure completion and texture propagation. In the salient structure completion step, incomplete salient structures are detected using wavelet transform, and completion order is determined through color texture and curvature features around the incomplete salient structures. Afterwards, curve fitting and extension are used to complete the incomplete salient structures. In the texture propagation step, the proposed approach first synthesizes texture information of completed salient structures. Then, the texture information is propagated into the remaining missing regions. A number of examples on real and synthetic images demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm in removing occluding objects. Our results compare favorably to those obtained by existing greedy inpainting techniques. 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Improving Exemplar-based Image Completion methods using Selecting the Optimal Patch
Image completion is one of the subjects in image and video processing which deals with restoration of and filling in damaged regions of images using correct regions. Exemplar-based image completion methods give more pleasant results than pixel-based approaches. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to find the most suitable patch in order to fill in the damaged parts. This patch selection ...
متن کاملRegion Filling and Object Removal by Exemplar- Based Image Inpainting
Image inpainting or completion is a technique to restore a damaged image. Recently various approaches have been proposed.In the past, this problem has been addressed by two classes of algorithms: (i) “texture synthesis” algorithms for generating large image regions from sample textures, and (ii) “inpainting” techniques for filling in small image gaps. The former has been demonstrated for “textu...
متن کاملAutomatic Image Inpainting by Heuristic Texture and Structure Completion
This paper studies an image inpainting solution based on a primal sketch representation model [1], which divides an image into structure (sketchable) and texture (non-sketchable) components. This solution first predicts the missing structures, such as curves and corners, using a tensor voting algorithm [2]. Then the texture parts along structural sketches are synthesized with the patches sample...

-Inpainting is the process of reconstructing lost or deteriorated part of images based on the background information. i. e .it fills the missing or damaged region in an image utilizing spatial information of its neighboring region. Inpainting algorithm have numerous applications. It is helpfully used for restoration of old films and object removal in digital photographs. The main goal of the al...

Image inpainting is a technique of filling unknown image region with known information from the surrounding of the unknown region in such a way that the result is logically accepted. Texture and structure completion in inpainting method is the main challenge in image inpainting and it is still an open problem to be tackled in the near future. In this paper, we propose a new inpainting algorithm...
