A fast spatial patch blending algorithm for artefact reduction in pattern-based image inpainting
Maxime Daisy, David Tschumperlé, Olivier Lézoray · 2013
We propose a fast and generic spatial patch blending technique that can be embedded within any kind of pattern-based inpainting algorithm. This extends our previous work on the visual enhancement of inpainting results. We optimize this blending algorithm so that the processing time is roughly divided by a factor ten, without any loss of perceived quality. Moreover, we provide an open-source and simple-to-use software to make this easily reproducible.
