Image Inpainting Marcelo Bertalmio and Guillermo Sapiro Vicent Caselles and Coloma Ballester Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Minnesota Escola Superior Politecnica, Universitat Pompeu Fabra Abstract (e.g., removal of stamped date and red-eye from photographs, the infamous “airbrushing” of political enemies [3]). Inpainting, the technique of modifying an image in an undetectable Digital techniques are starting to be a widespread way of per- form, is as ancient as art itself. The goals and applications of in- forming inpainting, ranging from attempts to fully automatic detec- painting are numerous, from the restoration of damaged paintings tion and removal of scratches in film [4, 5], all the way to software and photographs to the removal/replacement of selected objects. In tools that allow a sophisticated but mostly manual process [6]. this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm for digital inpainting of In this article we introduce a novel algorithm for automatic digi- still images that attempts to replicate the basic techniques used by tal inpainting, being its main motivation to replicate the basic tech- professional restorators. After the user selects the regions to be niques used by professional restorators. At this point, the only user restored, the algorithm automatically fills-in these regions with in- interaction required by the algorithm here introduced is to mark formation surrounding them. The fill-in is done in such a way that the regions to be inpainted. Although a number o
