Image inpainting by curvature-driven diffusions with snake model
Xiaofeng Liu · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2010
Digital image inpainting approaches can restore the damaged region automatically on digital images.T.F.Chan,et al. bring up an inpainting algorithm by Curvature-Driven Diffusions(CDD) which is a representative algorithm based on partial dif- ferential equation.In the inpainting algorithm,image enhancement term of snake model is incorporated into CDD algorithm.In the heat diffusion process,this term attracts the boundaries of the objects,so the broken boundaries can be repaired.Thus the image visual connectivity is holding effectively.As the experimental results show,it can repair the damaged image better than CDD al- gorithm with same iterative times.
