Methodology to Recover the Damaged and Degraded Portion of an Image by Image Inpainting
Abstract: Inpainting; the technique of modifying an image in an undetectable form; is as ancient as art itself. The goals and applications of inpainting are numerous; from the restoration of damaged paintings and photographs to the removal of selected objects. In this paper; we introduce a novel algorithms for inpainting of images that attempts to replicate the basic techniques used by professional restorators. The algorithms used are Image inpainting using directional median filters; Image inpainting using local binary pattern and Image inpainting based on pyramids. After the user selects the regions to be restored; the algorithm automatically fills-in these regions with information surrounding them. This is done in a fast way; thereby allowing to simultaneously fill-in numerous regions containing completely different structures and textures surrounding backgrounds.
