We introduce a fourth-order total variation flow for image inpainting proposed in [5]. The well-posedness of this new inpainting model is discussed and its efficient numerical realization via an unconditionally stable solver developed in [15] is presented.

In this paper, a hybrid method for occlusion removal using Finite element based Bi-dimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition (FE-BEMD) and Exemplar based image inpainting is discussed. Initially, the image is decomposed into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) and a Residue using FEBEMD. Then the Exemplar based image inpainting algorithm is applied to each of the IMFs and residue and the results are...

Recovering lost part of an image plays a great role in image processing. Inpainting is a technique that helps in recovering lost pixels from an image. From the existing techniques of Inpainting, Exemplar Inpainting is one of the fast and better techniques that help in restoring the lost part of an image. Exemplar based method chooses a patch similar to the lost patch from the known area to fill...

We discuss an extension of our method image inpainting based on coherence transport. For the latter method the pixels of the inpainting domain have to be serialized into an ordered list. Until now, to induce the serialization we have used the distance to boundary map. But there are inpainting problems where the distance to boundary serialization causes unsatisfactory inpainting results. In the ...

Image inpainting is a technique that aims to recovering missing or damaged regions of an image without any manual intervene. Conventional exemplar-based approaches suffer two major defects. One defect is that the inpainting quality heavily depends on the extent of selfsimilarity. If no similar samples exist in the already known region of the image, the missing region may be filled by irrelevant...

Image inpainting is a fundamental problem in image processing and has many applications. Motivated by the recent tight frame based methods on image restoration in either the image or the transform domain, we propose an iterative tight frame algorithm for image inpainting. We consider the convergence of this framelet-based algorithm by interpreting it as an iteration for minimizing a special fun...

We combine in this paper the topological gradient, which is a powerful method for edge detection in image processing, and a variant of the minimal path method in order to find connected contours. The topological gradient provides a more global analysis of the image than the standard gradient and identifies the main edges of an image. Several image processing problems (e.g., inpainting and segme...

Image inpainting as a means of substituting missing image parts can become difficult when the image is textured. In this paper we apply a local statistical model of the source color image with the aim to predict missing texture regions. We have shown in a series of papers that textures can be modeled locally by estimating the joint probability density of spectral pixel values in a suitably chos...
