Image Inpainting Algorithm for Region Filling Application (original) (raw)

Image Inpainting is the process of reconstructing or retouching an image. It has a wide range of applications including region filling, object removal, denoising, compression, etc. It is an important work done in the field of image processing. This research work has been carried out to reconstruct an old image by filling the spatial information from the surroundings in the damaged portion such as scratches, tampered pages, missing areas and holes. This paper provides details regarding image inpainting using exemplar based method for both structure and texture reconstruction.
