Image Inpainting Based on Simple Block Matching

Digital inpainting provides a means for reconstruction of small damaged portions of an image.Although the inpainting basics are straightforward,now the image inpainting have two main kinds:one based on partial differential equations(PDEs)and the second based on texture synthesis.Most inpainting techniques published in the literature are complex to understand and implement.The exhaustive searching strategies used in previous work are the main source of inefficiency,in order to make a tradeoff between time and quality,propose a simple image inpainting algorithm based on texture synthesis and spatial continuity,use different masks,searching local area.The algorithm is very simple to implement,fast and can produce comparable results.
