Recovering real-world scene: high-quality image inpainting using multi-exposed references

A novel method of high-quality image inpainting for recovering an original scene from degraded images using reference images of different exposures is proposed. It consists of a new inter-pixel relationship function and the respective refinement to synthesise missing pixels from existing spatially co-related pixels, and a dual patching to minimise the noise caused by dynamic range lost. Experiments on the method have been conducted and the results demonstrate the reliability of the proposed method.
