The Research Of Image Inpainting Technology

Inpainting is a technique of modifying an image in an undetectable form. The goals and applications of inpainting are numerous, from the restoration of damaged paintings and photographs to the removal/replacement of selected objects. Image inpainting is a new area of Image restoration. Recently, there is little domestic research; however, it is regarded by many researchers in Image Processing area overseas.The paper introduces a new inpainting method that bases Euler' s elastica and curvature, according to some forms recently. At same time, I program a system for demonstrating it. In contrast with previous approaches, the technique here introduced conquers the shortcoming of artificial corner and non-connectivity of TV model and Mumford-Shah model, and makes image more vivid and perfect.Set off from practicality, the paper has compared every method of image inpainting and developed a system of image inpainting on Windows platform. The system may be a plug-in to Photoshop during image processing. This automatic algorithm can improve work efficiency and decrease work time. This is very interesting and convenient not only to image processing workshop or prepress, but also to family person.
