Fractal Digital Image Inpainting

Abstract The image inpainting is an important problem image processing. It is a difficult problem to recover an image with bigger hole, and the existing algorithms are not give good method. Based on fractal theory, in this paper, we present a new inpainting method, which using the total info of image effectively. The relation of fractal dimension and the size range block is discussed, and give a repair method by multiscale fractal coding and reconstruction. In order to strengthen detail info, local fractal iterative is used. To get good recover quality, the image is magnify by fractal technique, and then taking fractal interpolation. The results of experiments show that the method in the paper has excellent performance, and the new algorithm is suitable for bigger hole image especially.
