Abstract. Inpainting methods with third and fourth order equations have certain advantages in comparison with equations of second order such as the smooth interpolation of image information even over large distances. Because of this such methods became very popular in the last couple of years. Solving higher order equations numerically can be a computational demanding task though. Discretizing ...

Inpainting methods attempt to reconstruct lost or destroyed image information as plausibly and sensibly to the human eye as possible. Information from the neighboring area is extrapolated into unkown image regions. This technique is also employed in view synthesis for 3D videos as well. Warping given scene views to other viewingpoints causes disocclusion artifacts to occur in the synthesized im...

Reconstruction of missing parts or scratches of digital images is an important field used extensively in artwork restoration. This restoration can be done by using two approaches, image inpainting and texture synthesis. There are many techniques for the two pervious approaches that can carry out the process optimally and accurately. In this paper the advantages and disadvantages of most algorit...

Motivated by the recent work on image inpainting in pixel domain using tight frame in [3], we propose a unified iterative frame-based algorithm for inpainting compressed images to recover missing bits or missing coefficients during the compression process. Such an inpainting algorithm could be applied to any image compression scheme based on coefficients thresholding and quantization in some tr...

In many cases inpainting methods introduce a blur in sharp transitions in image and image contours in the recovery of large areas with missing pixels and often fail to recover curvy boundary edges. Quantitative metrics of inpainting results currently do not exist and researchers use human comparisons to evaluate their methodologies and techniques. Most objective quality assessment methods rely ...

The inpainting of damaged images has a wide range of applications and many different mathematical methods have been proposed to solve this problem. Inpainting with the help of Cahn-Hilliard models has been particularly successful, and it turns out that Cahn-Hilliard inpainting with the double obstacle potential can lead to better results compared to inpainting with a smooth double well potentia...

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 ...

The process of repairing the damaged area or to remove the specific areas in a video is known as video inpainting. To deal with this kind of problems, not only a robust image inpainting algorithm is used, but also a technique of structure generation is used to fill-in the missing parts of a video sequence taken from a static camera. Most of the automatic techniques of video inpainting are compu...
