Image Inpainting is an ancient art and is a research topic in image processing. It fills the corrupted and the lost data in an undetectable manner. Image inpainting finds numerous applications like red eye correction, restoration of old damaged films, compression etc. There are several algorithms proposed for Image Inpainting .This paper reviews the work done by various authors in this field and a comparative study of their techniques. We discuss the different techniques of inpainting like PDE based inpainting, Exemplar based inpainting, bilateral filter inpainting ,fast digital inpainting .The lost information can be reconstructed by propagating the known information in the direction of isophote lines. Isophote lines are the lines of equal intensity. Image Inpainting can be achieved by convolving with the weighted average kernel.
