Image inpainting using layered fusion and exemplar-based
Keke Wang, Ran Ma, Dezhi Bo, Ping An · 2019
Based on the original exemplar-based Criminisi algorithm, we proposed two points to improve the result of image inpainting. First, in order to solve the problem that the searched matching block existing in the optimal block search is not optimal, this paper proposes a fusion repair strategy. The first n blocks are selected as matching blocks in the search of the optimal block, and then the weighted averages are performed on the matching blocks, which is used as the target block to be repaired. Second, considering the size of the block to be repaired, a layered repair strategy is adopted. An image to be repaired is first downsampled to obtain images at different scales, and then repaired from the topmost image. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the quality of the repair subjectively and objectively.
