We Received 28 August 2009 propose a novel approach for image inpainting by using the Mumford–Shah (MS) model Received in revised form and the level set method to estimate image structure of the damaged regions. This 20 August 2010 approach has been successfully used in image segmentation problem. Compared to Accepted 3 September 2010 some other inpainting methods, the MS model approach detects and preserves edges in Available online 8 September 2010 the inpainting areas. We propose a fast and efficient algorithm that achieves both Keywords: inpainting and segmentation. In previous works on the MS model, only one or two level Image inpainting set functions are used to segment an image. While this approach work
