Removing objects from videos with a few strokes

We present a system for the removal of objects from videos. As an input, the system only needs a user to draw a few strokes in at least one frame, roughly delimiting the objects to be removed. These rough masks are then automatically refined and propagated through the video. The corresponding regions are resynthesized using video inpainting techniques. Our system is able to deal with multiple, possibly crossing objects, with complex motions and with dynamic textures. This results in a computational tool that can alleviate tedious manual operations for editing high-quality videos.
