This paper deals with the joint use of connected operators and image inpainting for image filtering. Connected operators filter the image by merging its flat zones while preserving contour information. Image inpainting restores the values of an image for a destroyed or consciously masked subregion of the image domain. In the present paper, it will be shown that image inpainting can be combined ...

Abstract – Exemplar-based image inpainting techniques face two main problems. One is the decision of filling-in order which has a strong...

Image inpainting is the process of reconstructing an image or to fill the missed region by using the surrounding pixels so that it looks reasonable to human eye. Sometimes, while capturing the image dead pixels will exists in the image which results in degraded image. In this paper, various algorithms are discussed by using which we can get a smoothed and undegraded image. Keywords—Inpainting, ...

Image inpainting automatically restores damaged images and partially removed pictures. Since most inpainting mechanisms inpaint damaged portions in a single layer, this study proposes a multilayer inpainting mechanism by examining how Chinese paintings are drawn in layers. The proposed multilayer inpainting mechanism employs a layer fusion strategy to detect the optimal inpaint combination amon...

Image in-painting is the art of restoring lost and selected parts of an image based on the background information in such a way so that the change is not observed by the observer. Image In-painting is very important and emerging field of research in image processing. Inpainting algorithm have numerous applications such as rebuilding of damaged photographs & films, heritage preservation, removal...

Inpainting is the technique of modifying an image in an imperceptible form, is a very old fine art itself. The goals and applications of inpainting are frequent from the restoration of damaged paintings and image photographs to the removal or replacement of selected objects. Image Inpainting is the ability of filling in misplaced data in an image. The principle of inpainting is to restructure m...

Image Inpainting is the process of filling in missing regions in an image. The objective of inpainting is to reconstruct the missing regions in a visually plausible way. Several algorithms are available in the literature for the same. Many researchers have proposed a large variety of exemplar based image inpainting algorithms to restore the structure and texture of damaged images. In this paper...

In spite of numerous works on inpainting, there has been little work addressing both image and structure inpainting. In this work, we propose a new method for inpainting both image and depth of a scene using multiple stereo images. The observations contain unwanted artifacts, which can be possibly caused due to sensor/lens damage or occluders. In such a case, all the observations contain missin...
