Inpainting is the process of filling the missing region based on the surrounding image statistics. Inpainting techniques have been used in applications ranging from restoration of damaged old paintings and photographs to removal or replacement of selected objects in multimedia editing. Initial efforts are focused on generating suitable textures by texture synthesis approaches which generate new textures by sampling and copying pixels from neighboring areas. |
Structural Image Inpainting |
These types of "local-feature" based techniques fail when the hole becomes large. The reason is that they fail to take advantage of the many global visual cues like symmetry and depth for inpainting. For example, our automatic scheme can exploit the object symmetry to fill in the miss contour in the left image. We call this research "Structural Image Inpainting". |
