Fast Algorithm for Completion of Images with Natural Scenes

Siddharth Borikar

abstract:

We present a fast method for completion of images of natural scenery, where the removal of a foreground object creates a hole in the image. Because of the strong horizontal orientation in natural scenes, it is intuitive to synthesize the missing part of image fragments drawn from horizontally located areas, without the need to search whoel of the image area to find tha appropriate texture. We are thus able to select the texture that naturally blends into the rest of the scene horizontally. We also propose a modification to deal with sloping horizons, such as mountatin areas, and show how the texture filling areas can be suitably chosen. We demonstrate the method by completion of a variety of scenes.
