Region filling and object removal by exemplar based image inpaintingWoonghee Lee
To get rid of (an) object(s) at a picture or to restore a picture from scratches or holes, Criminisi at el. suggested an algorithm which is combied "texture synthesis" and "inpainting". I made the slide to present at a class to introduce this algorithm. I refered a slide http://bit.ly/1Ng7DNt. I wish this slide may help you to understand the algorithm. Thank you.
Inpainting refers to the art of restoring lost parts of image and reconstructing them based on the background information i.e Image inpainting is the process of reconstructing lost or deteriorated parts of images using information from surrounding areas. In fine art museums, inpainting of degraded paintings is traditionally carried out by professional artists and usually very time consuming.The purpose of inpainting is to reconstruct missing regions in a visually plausible manner so that it seems reasonable to the human eye. There have been several approaches proposed for the same.
This paper gives an overview of different Techniques of Image Inpainting.The proposed work includes the overview of PDE based inpainting algorithm and Texture synthesis based inpainting algorithm. This paper presents a brief survey on comparative study of these two techniques used for Image Inpainting.
This document discusses object removal from digital photographs through exemplar-based inpainting. It describes Criminisi's algorithm which combines texture synthesis and inpainting to remove objects while preserving linear structures and avoiding blurring. The algorithm works by assigning priority values to pixels based on proximity to linear structures, and then propagates texture patterns from surrounding regions into the removed object area. Experimental results show Criminisi's approach produces better outcomes than either texture synthesis or inpainting alone. Future work areas include improving curved structure propagation and applying the method to video.
A Survey on Exemplar-Based Image Inpainting Techniquesijsrd.com
Preceding paper include exemplar-based image inpainting technique give idea how to inpaint destroyed region such as Criminisi algorithm, patch shifting scheme, search region prior method. Criminsi’s and Sarawut’s patch shifting scheme needed more time to inpaint an damaged region but proposed method decrease time complexity by searching only in related region of missing portion of image.
In this project we have implemented a tool to inpaint selected regions from an image. Inpainting refers to the art of restoring lost parts of image and reconstructing them based on the background information. The tool provides a user interface wherein the user can open an image for inpainting, select the parts
of the image that he wants to reconstruct. The tool would then automatically inpaint the selected area according to the background information. The image can
then be saved. The inpainting in based on the exemplar based approach. The basic aim of this approach is to find examples (i.e. patches) from the image and
replace the lost data with it. Applications of this technique include the restoration of old photographs and damaged film; removal of superimposed text like
dates, subtitles etc.; and the removal of entire objects from the image like microphones or wires in special effects.

The document discusses image segmentation techniques. It describes image segmentation as partitioning a digital image into multiple regions based on characteristics like color or texture. Common applications of image segmentation include industrial inspection, optical character recognition, and medical imaging. The techniques discussed are fixed thresholding, iterative thresholding, and fuzzy c-means clustering. Fuzzy c-means clustering is identified as the most suitable for pest image segmentation based on its lower entropy and normalized mutual information values. Simulated annealing is also proposed to improve upon the limitations of fuzzy c-means clustering.

In recent years due to advancement in video and image editing tools
it has become increasingly easy to modify the multimedia content. The
doctored videos are very difficult to identify through visual
examination as artifacts left behind by processing steps are subtle
and cannot be easily captured visually. Therefore, the integrity of
digital videos can no longer be taken for granted and these are not
readily acceptable as a proof-of-evidence in court-of-law. Hence,
identifying the authenticity of videos has become an important field
of information security.
In this thesis work, we present a novel approach to detect and
temporally localize video inpainting forgery based on optical flow
consistency. The proposed algorithm comprises of two stages. In the
first step, we detect if the given video is inpainted or authentic and
in the second step we perform temporal localization. Towards this, we
first compute the optical flow between frames. Further, we analyze the
goodness of fit of chi-square values obtained from optical flow
histograms using a Guassian mixture model. A threshold is then applied
to classify between authentic and inpainted videos. In the next step,
we extract Transition Probability Matrices (TPMs) by modelling the
optical flow as first order Markov process. SVM based classification
is then applied on the obtained TPM features to decide whether a block
of non-overlapping frames is authentic or inpainted thus obtaining
temporal localization. In order to evaluate the robustness of the
proposed algorithm, we perform the experiments against two popular and
efficient inpainting techniques. We test our algorithm on public
datasets like PETS and SULFA. The results show that the approach is
effective against the inpainting techniques. In addition, it detects
and localizes the inpainted frames in a video with high accuracy and
low false positives.
This document discusses GPU-based implementations of bilateral filtering for images. Bilateral filtering smooths images while preserving edges by combining pixel values based on both geometric closeness and photometric similarity. It can be applied to color images in a way that is tuned to human color perception. A naïve bilateral filtering implementation iterates over all pixels, but it is well-suited for parallel GPU implementations due to its iterative and local nature. The document provides mathematical definitions of domain filtering, range filtering, and bilateral filtering, and notes that bilateral filtering combines the benefits of both by enforcing both geometric and photometric locality. It describes using Gaussian functions to implement the filters and discusses parameters for controlling the degree of blurring and edge preservation.

Image fusion is an important field in many image processing and analysis tasks in which fusion image data are acquired
from multiple sources. In this paper, we investigate the Image fusion of remote sensing images which are highly corrupted by salt and
pepper noise. In our paper we propose an image fusion technique based Markov Random Field (MRF). MRF models are powerful
tools to analyze image characteristics accurately and have been successfully applied to a large number of image processing
applications like image segmentation, image restoration and enhancement, etc.,. To de-noise the corrupted image we propose a
Decision based algorithm (DBA). DBA is a recent powerful algorithm to remove high-density Salt and Pepper noise using sheer

IMAGE SEGMENTATION BY USING THRESHOLDING TECHNIQUES FOR MEDICAL IMAGEScseij
Image binarization is the process of separation of pixel values into two groups, black as background and
white as foreground. Thresholding can be categorized into global thresholding and local thresholding. This

Comparative study on image segmentation techniquesgmidhubala
This document discusses various image processing and analysis techniques. It describes image segmentation as separating an image into meaningful parts to facilitate analysis. Common segmentation techniques mentioned include thresholding, edge detection, color-based segmentation, and histograms. Thresholding involves separating foreground and background using a threshold value. Edge detection finds edges and contours. Color segmentation extracts information based on color. Histograms locate clusters of pixels to distinguish regions. The document provides examples of applying these techniques and concludes that segmentation partitions an image into homogeneous regions to extract high-level information.
Abstract Image Segmentation plays a vital role in image processing. The research in this area is still relevant due to its wide applications.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to calculate the total number of colors from the given RGB image to quantize the image, to detect cancer and brain tumour. The goal of this paper is to provide the best algorithm for image segmentation. Keywords: Image segmentation, RGB

The modified algorithm is compared to FCM, RG, and HKM using metrics like PSNR, MSE, PSNRRGB, and CQM on 10 images. Results show the proposed method ensures accuracy and quality while being faster than other algorithms, making it suitable for real-time use. It performs better than the other algorithms according to visual and quantitative analysis.
This document discusses image segmentation techniques. It begins by introducing the goal of image segmentation as clustering pixels into salient image regions. Segmentation can be used for tasks like object recognition, image compression, and image editing. The document then discusses several bottom-up image segmentation approaches, including clustering pixels in feature space using mixtures of Gaussians models or K-means, mean-shift segmentation which models feature density non-parametrically, and graph-based segmentation methods which construct similarity graphs between pixels. It provides examples and discusses assumptions and limitations of each approach. The key approaches discussed are clustering in feature space, mean-shift segmentation, and graph-based similarity methods like the local variation algorithm.
Region-based image segmentation partitions an image into regions based on pixel properties like homogeneity and spatial proximity. The key region-based methods are thresholding, clustering, region growing, and split-and-merge. Region growing works by aggregating neighboring pixels with similar attributes into regions starting from seed pixels. Split-and-merge first over-segments an image and then refines the segmentation by splitting regions with high variance and merging similar adjacent regions. Region-based segmentation is used for tasks like object recognition, image compression, and medical imaging.

This document proposes a novel contrast enhancement algorithm using various statistical operations and neighborhood processing. It begins with an overview of histogram equalization and some of its limitations. It then discusses related work on other histogram equalization techniques including classical histogram equalization, brightness preserving bi-histogram equalization, recursive mean separate histogram equalization, and background brightness preserving histogram equalization. The proposed method is then described, which applies statistical operations like mean and standard deviation within a neighborhood to locally enhance pixels.

Finally, metrics for evaluating image quality like PSNR, SSIM, and CNR are defined to analyze results
Abstract: Many applications such as robot navigation, defense, medical and remote sensing performvarious processing tasks, which can be performed more easily when all objects in different images of the same scene are combined into a single fused image. In this paper, we propose a fast and effective method for image fusion. The proposed method derives the intensity based variations that is large and small scale, from the source images. In this approach, guided filtering is employed for this extraction. Gaussian and Laplacian pyramidal approach is then used to fuse the different layers obtained. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain better performance for fusion of
all sets of images. The results clearly indicate the feasibility of the proposed approach.

Abstract: Image inpainting is a technique to fill missing region or reconstruct damage area from an image.It
removes an undesirable object from an image in visually plausible way.For filling the part of image, it use
information from the neighboring area. In this dissertation work, we present a Examplar based method for
filling in the missing information in an image, which takes structure synthesis and texture sysnthesis together.
In exemplar based approach it used local information from an image to patch propagation.We have also
implement Nonlocal Mean approach for exemplar based image inpainting.In Nonlocal mean approach it find
multiple samples of best exemplar patches for patch propagation and weight their contribution according to
their similarity to the neighborhood under evaluation. We have further extended this algorithm by considering
collaborative filtering method to synthesize and propagate with multiple samples of best exemplar patches. We
have to preformed experiment on many images and found that our algorithm successfully inpaint the target
region.We have tested the accuracy of our algorithm by finding parameter like PSNR and compared PSNR

Image Enhancement and Restoration by Image InpaintingIJERA Editor
Inpainting is the process of reconstructing lost or deteriorated part of images based on the background information. i. e .it fills the missing or damaged region in an image utilizing spatial information of its neighboring region. Inpainting algorithm have numerous applications. It is helpfully used for restoration of old films and object removal in digital photographs. The main goal of the algorithm is to modify the damaged region in an image in such a way that the inpainted region is undetectable to the ordinary observers who are not familiar with the original image. This proposed work presents image inpainting process for image enhancement and restoration by using structural, texture and exemplar techniques. This paper presents efficient algorithm that combines the advantages of these two approaches. We first note that exemplar-based texture synthesis contains the essential process required to replicate both texture and structure; the success of structure propagation, however, is highly dependent on the order in which the filling proceeds. We propose a best-first algorithm in which the confidence in the synthesized pixel values is propagated in a manner similar to the propagation of information in inpainting. The actual color values are computed using exemplar-based synthesis. Computational efficiency is achieved by a blockbased sampling process.

This document analyzes the performance of various modulation schemes for achieving energy efficient communication over fading channels in wireless sensor networks. It finds that for long transmission distances, low-order modulations like BPSK are optimal due to their lower SNR requirements. However, as transmission distance decreases, higher-order modulations like 16-QAM and 64-QAM become more optimal since they can transmit more bits per symbol, outweighing their higher SNR needs. Simulations show lifetime extensions up to 550% are possible in short-range networks by using higher-order modulations instead of just BPSK. The optimal modulation depends on transmission distance and balancing the energy used by electronic components versus power amplifiers.

dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Height and depth gauge linear metrology.pdfq30122000
Height gauges may also be used to measure the height of an object by using the underside of the scriber as the datum. The datum may be permanently fixed or the height gauge may have provision to adjust the scale, this is done by sliding the scale vertically along the body of the height gauge by turning a fine feed screw at the top of the gauge; then with the scriber set to the same level as the base, the scale can be matched to it. This adjustment allows different scribers or probes to be used, as well as adjusting for any errors in a damaged or resharpened probe.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

Abstract : With the advent of lots of multimedia instruments in today’s world peoples are clicking lots of
Picture of theirs and also trying to preserve their past pictures. As the time goes on those pictures got damaged.
Image inpainting is technique which tries to recover such images which are damaged. Inpainting is an art of
modifying the digital image in such a way that the modifications/alterations are undetectable to an observer
who has no idea about the original image. Image Inpainting is used to filling the region which are damaged and
want to recover from unwanted object by collecting the information from the more promising neighbouring
pixels which will add details to the image such that image have close resemblance to the original image and we
are not able to differentiate between original image and the inpainted image. In this paper we are trying to
study various technique of image inpainting, where the authors used the multiresoultion technique, wavelet
transform, counterlet transform, fragment based image completition etc. to complete the image. We also discuss
about the advantages and disadvantages of that technique with respect to efficiency and time limit.
Keywords: Image Inpainting, multiresoultion, neighboring pixels, undetectable, wavelet transform.
I. Introduction
Image Inpainting or Image completion is technique which is used to recover the damaged image and to
fill the regions which are missing in original image in visually plausible way. Inpainting, the technique of
modifying an image in an undetectable form, it is art which is used from the ancient year. Applications of this
technique include rebuilding of damaged photographs & films, removal of superimposed text,
removal/replacement of unwanted objects, red eye correction, image coding. In image inpainting technique the
user first selects the region which we want to recover and then he selects the portion from the source region
which is more promising in the sense of matching the information and closely identical to the original image, the
selected region is also called as patch. The selected patch is applied to damaged image, after that we get the
result which we want. In past the inpainting was performed by two classes of algorithms (i) “diffusion based
inpainting” and (ii) “texture synthesis”. If we are trying to define the inpainting technique then the first thing
come in to mind is that this algorithm try to fill the regions by collecting the information from the available
environment of that source region, it is trying to form the image which is nearly identical to the original image
and found the close identity to the original image. The image design with this technique is alternative to the
original image but this technique is such accurate that the person who is unaware of original image will not able
to detect that we have reconstruct the image. This method is called inpainting.

1. Basic concept of Image Inpainting
Inpainting is not only to recover the images which got damaged but also the technique to remove
unwanted objects from the image. This technique remove the cracks from the image, fills the missing part from
the image, remove the text, dates etc. Inpainting is conceivable by the person who has more idea about this
technique or he is specialized in that area or known as artist. Due to manual process it’s consume lots of time to
give the required result. Image Inpainting could also be called as method which creates alternate image and
exploitation of an image. Image inpainting technique creates the original image which is only possible with the
help of the information available from the source image/image to recover. In case of digital images, only the
available image is taken for the experiment and thus filling in a hole that encompasses a whole object. It is not
technique which creates the new image but it try to recover the image which content more promising pixels and
that pixels available from the source image and with the help of that we create the clone of the image which is
recovered from damaged and the clone of that image is such accurate that if any casual observer going to view

that image he will detect that image as original image. By using image inpainting along with rebuilding we have
to keep this thing in to mind also that image is to recover with maximum accuracy. Image Inpainting not only
try to find the texture to be inpainted but also propagate that structure by matching dimensions. Only after
matching the dimensions it inserts the patch into the damaged image and then completes the image.
In this paper, different types of image inpainting techniques are discussed. Section 2 discussed about
the review on image inpainting techniques. Problems of previous techniques are discussed in section 3. Section
4 is about the conclusion.
II. Literature Review
1. Image Inpainting Using PDE
A novel algorithm for digital inpainting of images was done with the help of Partial Differential Equation
[1]. That attempts to replicate the basic techniques used by professional rebuilders. In this algorithm the user has
to select the area to inpainted and after that algorithm rebuild the image by collecting the information available
from the surrounding area of the source image. While filling this region this algorithm considers the way in
which isophote lines arriving at the regions’ boundaries are completed inside. During completition of image like
other algorithm we have no need to provide the surrounding information. This is automatically done, thereby
allowing to simultaneously fill-in numerous regions containing completely different structures and surrounding
backgrounds. By using the isophote direction this algorithm completed the image.
Advantages: Due to Isophote driven Approach we find the line of equal gray scale values which
contains the more promising information and this used to complete the image with less time.
Disadvantage: The main problem with this algorithm is reproduction of large texture regions. This
algorithm also unable to recover Partially Degraded Image
2. Multiresoultion Image Inpainting
In the multiresoultion approach the damaged image block is divided into equal number of blocks of
equal size. After dividing the image, the three threshold values were consider first for the threshold of variance
of pixel colors, second and third- for the threshold of percentage [2]. Variance of color pixels has strong
indication of containing the details of the image. By using this value we can able to rebuild the image. While
rebuilding the image the percentage of damaged pixel was consider. In case the damaged pixel percentage is
high, then to inPaint the image we have to consider the global average color. If the percentage is low, in that
case we have to consider the information available from the image. After completition of image it evaluates the
image with the help of PSNR value. This multilevel PSNR value decides how good the image is inpainted.

Advantages: The Single Resolution approach produces the blurred result that overcome by this approach. It also
covers the different level of details.
Disadvantages: The issue with this technique is that there is no friendly environment is provided to
mark the region which we have to rebuild.
3. Fragment-Based Image Completition
In this technique to complete the image we have to remove the background and foreground elements
from the image. The parts of the image which are seen with the naked eye can be used as spare parts to repair
the image. In this method the first step is to select the region which we want to inPaint for that iterative process
is used which selects the region approximately. After that we have to use composite image fragments to
complete the image. To select the patch ,values of inverse matte is used which gives the high confidence pixels
to complete the image and a level is set that provides the incremental approach to travel into the unknown region
of image from high to low confidence. In each step we have to select the image fragment from frequently
appearing examples. it processed to complete the image with this technique, the image fragments which is
composited their probability rise with mean confidence of image.
Process:
Input: image C, inverse matte a¯ (9 pixel with a¯ < 1)
Output: completed image, a¯ = 1
Algorithm:
1. for each scale from coarse to fine
Approximate image from color and coarser scale
2. Compute confidence map from a¯ and coarser scale
3. Compute level set from confidence map
4. while μ (b) < 1−e
a. for next position p in level set
Compute adaptive neighborhood N(p)
b. search for most similar and frequent match N(q)
c. composite N(p) and N(q) at p, updating color and a¯
5. Compute approximation, confidence map and update level set
Advantage: The Image completed with this approach composition of similar fragment is used which iteratively
fills the missing regions. We can apply any method like scaling, transformation to composite the fragment.
Disadvantage: The limitation of this technique is that it has direct proportion with examples available from the
global image. If we reach in availability of fragments then we can able to complete the image. The building
blocks are required to complete the image from unknown regions to the known regions.
4. Completition Of Images With Natural Scenes
This method used to done the completion of images of natural scenery, where the removal of a
foreground object creates a hole in the image. In this technique to select a patch from the image we limit the
search into the horizontal direction only for that purpose we have to use Fourier transform which gives the
distinct vertical line at center , by using this approach we gets the more promising pixels in horizontal direction
only [4]. This whole process reduces the effort of searching the portion of image which we require to complete
the image. We are able to locate the patch that imposed into the rest of image horizontally. During this method if
we are trying to recover the area of slopes then privileges also provided for that image. The grid algorithm is
used to complete the image in which the image first completed from the left region and then completed from
right side. We fill-up the unknown regions of the matte with grid blocks from the source image.
Advantage: These method Saves lots of time with the help of Fourier transform by limiting the search in
horizontal direction only. If we compare the result with other technique then we can get the good result in quick
time.
Disadvantage: This Method does not apply the computation over all levels and also search is applied to small
regions only not at different levels.

5. Graph cut Patch Algorithm
Zhang et. al [5] created a method to inpaint the image which divided into the three steps, First step is
spatial range model is decided to get the direction of selecting the patch from the image.in second step source
patch is selected by matching the dimensions of the source patch with target patch and if the dimensions doesn’t
match in that case we have to adjust the dimensions and then we have to enforce the searching areas into the
neighborhood around the previous source patch. Third, to guarantee about the non-blurred result graph cut patch
updating algorithm is designed. The quality of result corresponds to the human image recognition after image is
completed.
Advantage: As algorithm divided into three steps the blurring of images is greatly reduced in this
image. The graph cut patch algorithm performs nonblurring updating in this algorithm.
Disadvantage: In this algorithm we need to take care of filling order as well as patch matching and finally the
patch updating.
6. Criminisis Algorithm
To recover the old techniques of texture synthesis algorithm and inpainting algorithm used to fill the
image gaps, the technique is designed to combined advantages of the two approaches. Exemplar based technique
contains the method for reinstalling the both texture and structure [6]. This algorithm divided into the few steps.
First step is consisting of finding the source region, target region and finally the patch. In first step we have to
find the patch, after finding the patch we have to decide the priorities of that patch because it may be the case
that we can found the more patch for the same region with maximum accuracy. In this case we have to calculate
the product of the confidence term and the data term. The result of this product will give us the more promising
patch and that patch can found the close resemblance with the original image. By finding the patch with
maximum priority we have to propagate the structure and texture information. The patch we found it can also
called as exemplar means the copy of image. The patch we found has a maximum confidence pixel which
minimizes the difference between the original image and the image which is result of the exemplar based
technique.
Steps
Extract the manually selected initial front.
Repeat until done:
1 a. Identify the fill front.
b. Compute priorities.
2 a. Find the patch with the maximum priority.
b. Find the exemplar.
c. Copy image data from exemplar to image.
3. Update confidence value.
Advantage: This approach is not only helpful to remove the objects from small scale images but this can be
applied with the large scale image also. This approach by combining the two techniques provides us the better
results.
Disadvantage: This algorithm does not handle the depth of ambiguities. If this algorithm does not found similar
patches for synthesis, we can’t get desirable result.
7. Image Inpainting Using Wavelet Transform
Dongwook Cho et. al [7] presented the technique with the help of the wavelet transform. Here we
expect the best global structure estimation of damaged regions in addition to shape and texture properties. If we
consider the fact of multiresoultion analysis, data separation, compaction along with the statistical properties
then we have to consider the wavelet transform due to its good image representation quality. Wavelet transform
try to satisfy the human visual system (HVS). In this algorithm decomposition of incomplete image is done with
the help of wavelet and after that wavelet and scaling coefficients is found. The image inpainting process is
applied in the wavelet domain by considering both scaling and wavelet coefficient from coarse to fine scales in
the target region.
Advantage: This utilizes inter and intra scale dependency to maintain image structure and texture quality using
Wavelet Transform.
Disadvantage: In this algorithm mask for regions are defined manually.
8. Image Inpainting Using MCA
Holes present in an image are filled with texture by a new image inpainting technique. Same process
applied in cartoon image layer. This algorithm is a direct extension of a recently developed sparse-
5. A Review on Image Inpainting To Restore Image
www.iosrjournals.org 12 | Page
representation-based image decomposition method called MCA (morphological component analysis), designed
for the separation of linearly combined texture and cartoon layers in a given image. Our method is based on the
ability to represent texture and cartoon layers as sparse combinations of atoms of predetermined Dictionaries. So
if we want to fill simultaneously the image of texture which has unknown regions and image which consist of
the cartoon image layer in that case we have to consider the MCA method to get the desired reconstructed image
which providing the more promising result. The confidence pixels are going to help in both the cases to fill the
incomplete image and reconstruct the both texture and cartoon image layer.
Advantage: This method is fusion of variation and regularization of the image that allows missing data and also
automatically filling the missing holes in texture and also in the cartoon image layer.
Disadvantage: In this method there is necessity to consider the numerical solution to extend this approach. If the
object has sparse representation then it creates the problem for this technique.
9. Multiscale Image Modeling
If we consider the nonseparable filter banks and direction based filter banks then we have to think
differently because for this purpose it is not good idea to fully resemble on wavelet transform. To extend and to
add this detail we have to consider the contourlet transform [9]. It can efficiently take control over the edges of
image along with small number coefficient one dimensional contour because of its multiscale and directional
properties. Contourlet transform region and its advantages helps author to inspect the image. The Detail study of
contourlet coefficient makes clear idea about non-Gaussian trivial statics and strong dependencies. Contourlet
coefficient is calculated about the Gaussian by considering the difficulty of neighboring coefficient magnitude.
Technique is applied on the images which are affected by noise and the image where we have to retrieve the
texture. While recovering the texture it shows too much improvement and additional things than wavelet
transform and performance is also better.
Advantage: In denoising process the contourlet transform provides the better result than wavelet transform and
in comparison to other technique it provides the good result in terms of human visual quality (HVS) and peal
signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR).
Disadvantage: It is complex than the wavelet transforms and it also found difficulty to find the neighbouring
coefficient.
10. Image Completition with Patch Propagation
This author described the necessities of semi-automatic image inpainting techniques. To complete this
research the user plays the role of guide to help in the complete the structure and he found as favorer of the
image [10]. This process works in two steps. In which first step user defined the region to be inpainted by
drawing the object area border and physically specifies the missing information in the image. The border
defined for that object move from the known region to unknown region. The patches are used to complete the
texture in case of texture based synthesis. Author consider this problem as worldwide problem were he has to
optimized the variety of structural and constancy constraints in that case the misplaced image patches produced
all along the user defined curve. If we found the single curve in attendance then to get the optimum result we
have to perform the dynamic programming. To produce the result with great accuracy dynamic programming
importance is increased in this technique. The dealing with this propagation will decide the approximation of the
result and how close is the result. In this way this technique are designed to complete the image which are
damaged due to cracks, noise in the image , superimposed text, unknown object and each and every image
inpainting techniques produces the good result or approximate result.
Advantage: Dynamic programming helps this algorithm to complete the image from single level to multilevel. If
we able to found the single curve in this image then we can complete the image quickly and can also get the
optimum result which is closely resemble with original image.
Disadvantage: For multiple objects the difficulty level is increased to optimize the result we have to propagate
the technique to get approximate result.
III. Discussion And Problems
The above discussed techniques are providing the better result but they are also lacking in certain
things. If we consider the size of object to recover, some of the techniques unable to produce the good result,
because some of the techniques are designed for small image gaps only. If we complete the images with large
gaps then it will give the result but the result quality will be poor and blurring effects also comes in act. Some of
the techniques produce single resolution image result, to overcome that drawback multiresoultion approach is
proposed. Wavelet transform is overcome by the contourlet transform for better result. PSNR values are used in
some techniques which measured with the help of number of parts of images we created to complete the image.
The PSNR value is ratio of value decomposed image to value of the entire image which is calculated at
the different level. This PSNR value satisfies the human visual system (HVS). After HVS is satisfy the image

produce will be having maximum resemblance with original image. But this PSNR also creates problem when
number of level increases.

IV. Conclusion
In this paper a variety of image inpainting techniques are discussed which consist of PDE based
Inpainting, Multiresoultion Image Inpainting, Fragment based Image completition, Completition of image with
natural scenes, Exemplar based Inpainting etc. For each of the image detailed discussion consist of the working
of the inpainting techniques which are used to fill out the missing regions also remove the unwanted object.
From this detailed survey we discussed the advantages and shortcomings of all image inpainting techniques.
Some of the techniques work only for small image gaps which overcome by the other inpainting technique.
When we come across the removal of large region exemplar based inpainting provides the better result, this
technique is design in such manner we can able to recover the object from small image gaps to large image gaps.
This algorithm works for texture as well as structure synthesis. But this work with maximum accuracy when
regions contains simple texture and structure. Contourlet transform technique design in such manner that it
overcomes disadvantages of nearly all technique. Overall study tells that all technique trying to provide better
result in terms of quality of the image and also trying to improve the efficiency in terms of time taken by image
completition algorithm.
