A New Inpainting Method Based on TV

Abstract

Nature image has complex structure and texture. In past years, people copy the pixels, which come from the surrounding neighborhood or selected example, into damaged region along isophate direction. This might cause such result as blur edges, which looks “unreasonable” to human eyes. This paper proposes a novel algorithm which simultaneously inpaints structures and textures of damaged images. This algorithm use TV to decompose the image into two parts. We inpaint the cartoon image part firstly by boundary reconstruction. Then we do texture synthesis to texture image part guided by boundary reconstruction. The method aims at inpainting structure and texture simultaneously and produces good results for texture with complex structure.
