The process of restoring missing areas of an image is referred to as "image inpainting."It is a significant challenge in the field of computer vision and a crucial feature that is utilized in a wide variety of image and graphics programs.Although image inpainting, also known as the art of repairing old and worn images, has been around for a couple of years, it has recently gained even more popularity due to recent developments in image processing techniques.Image inpainting can be thought of as the art of restoring old and worn images.Automatic image inpainting has become an important and challenging area of research in image processing due to the advancement of tools for image processing and the flexibility of digital image editing.Automatic image inpainting has found important applications in computer vision and is also becoming an important image processing application.Due to its high significance and effectiveness in a variety of image processing applications such as, for example, object removal, image restoration, manipulation, re-targeting, compositing, and image-based rendering, researchers have studied the image inpainting problem intensively over several decades.The process of eliminating or filling in a missing area in an image is referred to as "image inpainting," It is defined as in-depth knowledge of the image details in terms of its structure and texture.It is considered to be one of the most challenging subjects in image processing.This article presents a survey of most image inpainting techniques and summarizes them, along with comparisons that include the benefits and drawbacks of each method.These comparisons and summaries can assist researchers in evaluating their own proposed techniques against existing ones.
