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
value for all three different approaches.
Keywords: Texture Synthesis, Structure Synthesis, Patch Propagation ,imageinpainting ,nonlocal approach,
collabrative filtering.

Study of Image Inpainting Technique Based on TV Modelijsrd.com
This paper is related with an image inpainting method by which we can reconstruct a damaged or missing portion of an image. A fast image inpainting algorithm based on TV (Total variational) model is proposed on the basis of analysis of local characteristics, which shows the more information around damaged pixels appears, the faster the information diffuses. The algorithm first stratifies and filters the pixels around damaged region according to priority, and then iteratively inpaint the damaged pixels from outside to inside on the grounds of priority again. By using this algorithm inpainting speed of the algorithm is faster and greater impact.

Our life’s important part is Image. Without disturbing its overall structure of images, we can
remove the unwanted part of image with the help of image inpainting. There is simpler the inpainting of
the low resolution images than that of the high resolution images. In this system low resolution image
contained in different super resolution image inpainting methodologies and there are combined all these
methodologies to form the highly in painted image results. For this reason our system uses the super

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.

COLOUR BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING HYBRID KMEANS WITH WATERSHED SEGMENTATIONIAEME Publication
Image processing, arbitrarily manipulating an image to achieve an aesthetic standard or to support a preferred reality. The objective of segmentation is partitioning an image into distinct regions containing each pixels with similar attributes. Image segmentation can be done using thresholding, color space segmentation, k-means clustering.
Segmentation is the low-level operation concerned with partitioning images by determining disjoint and homogeneous regions or, equivalently, by finding edges or boundaries. The homogeneous regions, or the edges, are supposed to correspond, actual objects, or parts of them, within the images. Thus, in a large number of applications in image processing and computer vision, segmentation plays a fundamental role as the first step before applying to images higher-level operations such as recognition, semantic interpretation, and representation. Until very recently, attention has been focused on segmentation of gray-level images since these have been the only kind of visual information that acquisition devices were able to take the computer resources to handle. Nowadays, color image has definitely displaced monochromatic information and computation power is no longer a limitation in processing large volumes of data. In this paper proposed hybrid k-means with watershed segmentation algorithm is used segment the images. Filtering techniques is used as noise filtration method to improve the results and PSNR, MSE performance parameters has been calculated and shows the level of accuracy
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.
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
paper describes a locally adaptive thresholding technique that removes background by using local mean
and standard deviation. Most common and simplest approach to segment an image is using thresholding.
In this work we present an efficient implementation for threshoding and give a detailed comparison of
Niblack and sauvola local thresholding algorithm. Niblack and sauvola thresholding algorithm is

Molecular characterization of pea (Pisum sativum L.) using microsatellite mar...IOSR Journals
Nineteen pea (Pisum sativum L.) accessions have been characterized using Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs). The mains objectives of this study were to examine SSR polymorphism among cultivars and to assess genetic diversity among them. Eight microsatellites, from the Pisum microsatellite consortium (Agrogene ®, France) have been used. Five of the eight SSRs studied gave good electrophoretic profiles and helped us to amplify a number of alleles per locus varying from 3 (PSMPA5 and PSMPA6) to 13 (PSMPSAD126) with a total of 34 and an average number of 6.8 alleles per locus. The Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) varied from 0.18 for PSMPSAD134 to 0.85 for PSMPSAD126, with an average value of 0.62. The five microsatellites analyzed allowed us to separate 18 out of the 19 genotypes studied, and only the two most polymorphic markers (PSMPSAA205 and PSMPSAD126), permit to discriminate among the same genotypes (18) separated using the 5 SSRs. Genetic distances computed have been used to draw the corresponding dendrogram and to distribute genotypes according to their genetic relationship. The genotypes classified within the same group share several agro-morphological characters. Finally, the present study attests that SSR microsatellites are good tools for identifying genotypes and for the assessment of genetic diversity in pea.

“Impact of Demographics and Personality traits on Confidence level: Determina...IOSR Journals
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship among demographics, personality traits and level of confidence. The impact of this paper is twofold, one is to measure the determinants of overconfidence in employees and other is in students. This paper adopts the primary data approach, collected from employees and students through questionnaires .Two diverse populations have been selected and various statistical technique (Pearson correlation, Pearson regression, Chi-square, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests) are used for analysis purpose using SPSS software on a 100 sample size. Research findings shows that in employees when Openness to experience increase , overconfidence level decrease, however all remaining personality traits(conscientiousness, agreeableness, emotional stability and openness to experience) is correlated with overconfidence. In students there is no correlation between overconfidence and any of the personality traits. The regression analysis findings show that no linear relationship exists between independent and dependent variable in employees for individual personality traits except of emotional stability. Only emotional stability has a significant predictor of overconfidence among all five personality traits. However the overall personality is the significant predictor of overconfidence in employees. For students, neither individual personality traits nor overall personality has linear relationship with overconfidence.

Poly-aniline is one of the most important conducting polymers. The poly-aniline has many applications in the electronic fields such as batteries, sensors, controlling systems and organic displays. It is good environmental stability, easy conductivity control and cheap production in large quantities. In this study poly-aniline samples in nan-structure were irradiated with α- particles with different fluences (1.16 x 108- 1.20 x 109 alphas/ cm2) and constant energy (5.32±0.23 MeV). The damage is almost regular along the path length of alpha particles in poly-aniline samples. The modifications in the morphology and optical properties induced by the radiation were measured. It was found a strong correlation between absorbance and the alpha particle fluences at wavelength 600 nm for the samples after irradiations. Also, the results showed increase the number of carbon atoms per cluster in the poly-aniline samples after irradiations.
Subsurface 2D Image Analyses of the Uyangha Basement Area, South-Eastern NigeriaIOSR Journals
Geo-electric soundings were made in Stella Maris Secondary School, in Uyangha, Nigeria to image
the subsurface and obtain thicknesses and resistivities of different layers. A quantitative interpretation of the
data obtained clearly reveals the presence of four (4) geo-electric sections which are interpreted to be dry
laterite, moist laterite, weathered basement, and saturated basement. The depth probed is about 100m. The
saturated basement is the aquifer unit. Depth to aquifer unit in the area is at about 65m to 80m.The thickness of
the aquifer unit ranges from 20m to 35m. For ground water exploitation, boreholes in the area should therefore
be drilled to the depth of 91m, for reasonable groundwater yield. The lateritic layer makes the study area
suitable for building construction in the area.
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.
Removal of Unwanted Objects using Image Inpainting - a Technical ReviewIJERA Editor
Image In painting, the technique to change image in undetectable structure, it itself is an ancient art. There are
various goals and applications of image in painting which includes restoration of damaged painting and also to
replace/remove the selected objects. This paper, describes various techniques that can help in removing
unwanted objects from image. Even the in painting fundamentals are directly further, most inpainting techniques
available in the literature are difficult to understand and implement.
A CONCERT EVALUATION OF EXEMPLAR BASED IMAGE INPAINTING ALGORITHMS FOR NATURA...cscpconf
Image inpainting derives from restoration of art works, and has been applied to repair ancient
art works. Inpainting is a technique of restoring a partially damaged or occluded image in an
undetectable way. It fills the damaged part of an image by employing information of the
undamaged part according to some rules to make it look “reasonable” to human eyes. Digital
image inpainting is relatively new area of research, but numerous and different approaches to
tackle the inpainting problem have been proposed since the concept was first introduced. This
paper analyzes and compares the recent exemplar based inpainting algorithms by Minqin Wang
and Hao Guo et al. A number of examples on real images are demonstrated to evaluate the
results of algorithms using Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR)
Statistical Feature based Blind Classifier for JPEG Image Splice Detectionrahulmonikasharma
Digital imaging, image forgery and its forensics have become an established field of research now days. Digital imaging is used to enhance and restore images to make them more meaningful while image forgery is done to produce fake facts by tampering images. Digital forensics is then required to examine the questioned images and classify them as authentic or tampered. This paper aims to design and implement a blind classifier to classify original and spliced Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. Classifier is based on statistical features obtained by exploiting image compression artifacts which are extracted as Blocking Artifact Characteristics Matrix. The experimental results have shown that the proposed classifier outperforms the existing one. It gives improved performance in terms of accuracy and area under curve while classifying images. It supports .bmp and .tiff file formats and is fairly robust to noise.
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.
REMOVING OCCLUSION IN IMAGES USING SPARSE PROCESSING AND TEXTURE SYNTHESISIJCSEA Journal
We provide a solution to problem of occlusion in images by removing the occluding region and filling in the gap left behind. Inpainting algorithms fail in filling occlusions when the occluding region is large since there is loss of both structure and texture. We decompose the image into structure and texture images using a decomposition method based on sparseness of the image. The sparse reconstruction of the decomposed images result in an inpainted image with all the structures made intact. A texture synthesis is performed on the texture only image. Finally the structure and texture images are combined to get an image where the occlusion is filled. The performance of our algorithm in terms of visual effectiveness is compared with other algorithms used for inpainting.
Hierarchical Approach for Total Variation Digital Image InpaintingIJCSEA Journal
The art of recovering an image from damage in an undetectable form is known as inpainting. The manual work of inpainting is most often a very time consum ing process. Due to digitalization of this technique, it is automatic and faster. In this paper, after the user selects the regions to be reconstructed, the algorithm automatically reconstruct the lost regions with the help of the information surrounding them. The existing methods perform very well when the region to be reconstructed is very small, but fails in proper reconstruction as the area increases. This paper describes a Hierarchical method by which the area to be inpainted is reduced in multiple levels and Total Variation(TV) method is used to inpaint in each level. This algorithm gives better performance when compared with other existing algorithms such as nearest neighbor interpolation, Inpainting through Blurring and Sobolev Inpainting.
Image enhancement technique plays vital role in improving the quality of the image. Enhancement
technique basically enhances the foreground information and retains the background and improve the
overall contrast of an image. In some case the background of an image hides the structural information of
an image. This paper proposes an algorithm which enhances the foreground image and the background
part separately and stretch the contrast of an image at inter-object level and intra-object level and then

Feature Extraction of an Image by Using Adaptive Filtering and Morpological S...IOSR Journals
Abstract: For enhancing an image various enhancement schemes are used which includes gray scale manipulation, filtering and Histogram Equalization, Where Histogram equalization is one of the well known image enhancement technique. It became a popular technique for contrast enhancement because it is simple and effective. The basic idea of Histogram Equalization method is to remap the gray levels of an image. Here using morphological segmentation we can get the segmented image. Morphological reconstruction is used to segment the image. Comparative analysis of different enhancement and segmentation will be carried out. This comparison will be done on the basis of subjective and objective parameters. Subjective parameter is visual quality and objective parameters are Area, Perimeter, Min and Max intensity, Avg Voxel Intensity, Std Dev of Intensity, Eccentricity, Coefficient of skewness, Coefficient of Kurtosis, Median intensity, Mode intensity. Keywords: Histogram Equalization, Segmentation, Morphological Reconstruction .
AUTOMATED IMAGE MOSAICING SYSTEM WITH ANALYSIS OVER VARIOUS IMAGE NOISEijcsa
Mosaicing is blending together of several arbitrarily shaped images to form one large balanced image such
that boundaries between the original images are not seen. Image mosaicing creates a large field of view
using of scene and the result image can be used for texture mapping of a 3D environment too. Blended
image has become a wide necessity in images captured from real time sensor devices, bio-medical
equipment, satellite images from space, aerospace, security systems, brain mapping, genetics etc. Idea
behind this work is to automate the Image Mosaicing System so that blending may be fast, easy and
efficient even if large number of images are considered. This work also provides an analysis of blending
over images containing different kinds of distortion and noise which further enhances the quality of the
system and make the system more reliable and robust.
Content Based Image Retrieval Approach Based on Top-Hat Transform And Modifie...cscpconf
In this paper a robust approach is proposed for content based image retrieval (CBIR) using texture analysis techniques. The proposed approach includes three main steps. In the first one, shape detection is done based on Top-Hat transform to detect and crop object part of the image. Second step is included a texture feature representation algorithm using color local binary patterns (CLBP) and local variance features. Finally, to retrieve mostly closing matching images to the query, log likelihood ratio is used. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated using Corel and Simplicity image sets and it compared by some of other well-known approaches in terms of precision and recall which shows the superiority of the proposed approach. Low noise sensitivity, rotation invariant, shift invariant, gray scale invariant and low computational complexity are some of other advantages.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

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
value for all three different approaches.

I. Introduction
In real world, many people need a system to recover the damaged photographs, artwork, designs,
drawings etc. Damage may be due to various reasons like scratches, overlaid text or graphics, scaled image etc.
Nowadays, powerful photo-editing tools are available for retouching, drawing, and removing object by scissors
from images. But, to fill the missing information or reconstruct damage area in an image is still difficult task.
This system could enhance and return a good looking photograph using a technique called image
inpainting. Image inpainting modify and fill the missing area in an image in an undetectable way, by an observer
not familiar with the original image [1][2]. The technique can be used to reconstruct image damage due to
scratches, to remove dates and titles etc. from image.
This method starts with original image and mask image as input. Here mask image specify the object to
be removed from the original image. The object to be removed has to be marked by user because it depends on
the subjective choice of user. And give the output as reconstructed image. Image inpainting is different from
other general image enhancement algorithms in the sense that image enhancement assumes that pixel in the
damaged portion of image, contain both the information about real data and the noise, while in image inpainting,
the pixel values are all assumed to be missing in the filling domain.
The data exchange through network or use of wireless network increases day to day, this data are in the
form text, image, audio, video etc., hence the need for an automatic and fast technique to restore image blocks
lost during transmission. Producing stunning special effects in an image also involves lot of image inpainting for
removal of artifacts. And some photographs have scratch or distortion. These tasks are conventionally
performed manually and requiring lot of time and skills. These problems have motivated us to search for an
automatic technique.
Many applications are benefited from image inpainting technology, some of the application can be
Object Removal: This technique can remove small or big any object specified by user from image in visual
plausible way.
Stain Image Reconstruction: Stain image can be easily reconstructed by applying inpainting algorithm on the
stain part of image.
Correction of Images Corrupted Due to Transmission Error: In wireless transmission there are chances of a loss
of image blocks that can be restore by considering the lost part as the inpainting domain.
Scratch Removal: Scratch can be removed from image by applying the inpainting algorithm on the part
of the image containing scratch.
Producing Stunning Visual Effects in Image: Special effects such as a bungee jumper diving without a
rope can be produced.

II. Theoretical Background
2.1 Digital Image Processing
An image may be define as a two dimensional function f(x, y), where x and y are spatial coordinates,
and the value of f at any pair of coordinate (x, y) is called the intensity of the image at that point of the image.
The term gray level is used often to refer to the intensity of the monochrome images. Color images are often
formed by the combination of separate 2-D images e.g. in RGB color system a color image consist of red, green
and blue component images. This is why, many of the technique developed for monochrome images can be
extended to color images by processing the three component images separately.
An image may be continues with respect to the x- and y- coordinate, and also in amplitude. To convert
such an image in digital from requires that the coordinate as well as the amplitude be digitized. Digitizing the
coordinate’s value is called sampling while digitizing the amplitude values is called quantization. Thus, when x,
y and the amplitude value in an image, are all finite, discrete quantities, it is called a digital image.
2.1.1 Representing Digital Image
Assume that an image f(x, y) is sampled so that the resulting digital image has M rows and N columns
as shown in figure 2.1. The values of the coordinates (x, y) now become discrete quantities. These co-ordinates
are representing using integer values Thus, the values of the coordinates at the origin are (x, y) = (0, 0). The next
coordinate values along the first row of the image are represented as (x, y) = (0, 1). It is important to keep in
mind that the notation (0, 1) is used to signify the second sample along the first row. It does not mean that these
are the actual values of physical coordinates when the image was sampled.
Fig 2.1 Coordinate Convention Used to Represent Digital Images
2.2 Technique for image inpainting
There are two types of techniques for image inpainting:
· Texture Synthesis
· Structure Synthesis
Both these approaches have different direct applications. Structure synthesis is used explicitly for
filling holes in an image and texture synthesis is used to create textured pattern, which has extensive application
in 3D animation. However, they are methods used to synthesis a pixel given some information about another set
pixels. Texture synthesis problem, which requires an input texture can be thought as reducing to the inpainting
problem, if we assume that the input texture which it tries to replicate lies in the same image where the region to
be synthesized lies. The two approaches can be collectively referred to as hole filling approaches because they
try to remove unwanted objects from an image and fills the hole left behind.
Hence, for two dimensional images, one can use both texture synthesis and structure propagation to
restore the image but the result produced by an individual technique may not be suited to all kinds of images. A
robust method for image inpainting should be able to synthesize structure as well as texture in images.
Technique implemented in this dissertation uses an approach which combines structure propagation
with texture synthesis and hence produces very good results. A short introduction of texture synthesis and
structure synthesis is given in next two sessions.

2.2.1 Texture Synthesis
Texture synthesis has been an active research topic in computer vision both as a way to verify texture
analysis methods, as well as in its own right. Potential applications of a successful texture synthesis algorithm
are broad, including lossy image and video compression, occlusion fill-in, foreground removal, etc.
Texture can be classified as either regular (consisting of repeated texels) or stochastic (without explicit
texels). However, almost all real world texture lies somewhere between these two extremities and requires to be
captured with a single model.
Texture synthesis involves synthesizing an image which matches the appearances of a given texture.
The new image may be of arbitrary size and one of the fundamental goals of texture synthesis is that the
synthesized image should appear to be generated by the same underlying process as the original image.
2.2.2 Structure Synthesis
Structure synthesis means to fill-in the missing information in such a way that isophote lines arriving at
the region’s boundaries are completed inside. These methods allow for simultaneous filling-in of multiple
regions containing completely different structure and surrounding backgrounds. If structure synthesis is done
using PDE based methods than it introduce blur in the image.
III. Implementation Methodology
3.1 Basics of Exemplar based approach
Exemplar based approaches perform well for two dimensional texture as well as with liner image
structure. Figure 3.1 shown the missing regions i.e. target region or inpainting domain is denoted by Ω and its
boundary also specify and the source region is denoted by Φ, remains constant throughout the algorithm and
provides sample used in the filling process.
Fig 3.1. An illustration to the exemplar-based inpainting algorithm.
Figure 3.1(a) indicates the original image with the target region Ω and the sources region Φ. It also
indicates the boundary of the target region δΩ. Figure 3.1(b) shown patch Ψp selected on the boundary of the
target region which has highest priority. Figure 3.1(c) shown the best match patch for Ψp. It is find using sum of
square of difference method. These missing pixels in Ψp are propagated by corresponding pixels in Ψq shown in
figure 3.1(d). Illustrates that the best matching patch in the candidates set has been copied into the position
occupied by Ψp, thus achieving partial filling of Ω. See that both texture and structure have been propagated
inside the target region. Repeat this process until target region fill. The target region Ω has, now, shrunk and its
front boundary has a new shape now.
We now focus on the single iteration of the algorithm to show how structure and texture are adequately
handled. Patch Ψp two parts, one belonging to target region Ω and other belonging to source region Φ. Only that
part which belongs to target region Ψp is to be filled because remaining part is already containing the
information. From figure 3.1(d), we can say that both structure and texture has been preserved.
4. Comparative Study And An Alysis Of Image Inpainting Techniques

3.2 Exemplar Based Approach Using Search Space Window
First, given an input image, the user selects the object to be removed. This step requires user interaction
because object to be removed depends on the subjective choice of the user. The part of the image from where
the object is to be removed is known as target region or inpainting domain Ω. The sources region Φ is entire
image minus the target region. The size of the template window must be specified. This can be 9 x 9 pixels, but
in practices required the user to set it to be slightly larger than the largest distinguishable texture element, or
“texel”, in the source region [6].
In addition to this, user also needs to specify the size of the search window shown in figure 3.2. Use of
search window improves execution time because it reduces the searching time for finding a best match patch
later in the algorithm. The size of search window depends on the region to be filled and the kind of structure and
texture in image.
Fig 3.2. Search Space Window
Once these parameters are specifying, the region- filling proceeds automatically. During the algorithm,
patches along the fill-front are assigned a temporary priority value, which determines order in which they are
filled. Then the algorithm iterates following three steps until all pixels have been filled.
3.2.1Computing Patch Priorities
In the first step, a best edge patch Ψp is picked out using priority [6]. This algorithm uses best- first
filling strategy that entirely depends on the priority values which are assigned to each patch on the fill-front. The
priority computation is biased toward those patches which (1) are on the continuation of strong edges and (2) are
surrounded by high-confidence pixels.
Fig 3.3 Notation diagram
Here target region is indicating by Ω and its boundary is indicating by δΩ, source region is indicating by Φ.
Given a patch Ψp centered at the point P for some P€δΩ isshown in figure 3.3. Priority P (p) is defined as the
product of two terms.
P (p) = C (p) D (p)
Here, C (p) is the confidence term and D (p) is the data term. They are defined as follows.
Where |Ψp| is the area of Ψp, α is a normalization factor (e.g., α=255 for a typical grey-level image), np is a unit
vector orthogonal to the fill-front δΩ in the point P, and
denotes the orthogonal operator. The priority is computed for every border patch, with distinct patches for each
pixel on the boundary of the target region. During initialization,the function C (p) is set to C (p) = 0 ,∀p∈Ω and C
(p) = 1, ∀p∈I − Ω.The confidence term C (p) may be thought of as a measure of the amount of reliable
information surrounding the pixel P. The idea is to fill first those patches which have more of their pixels
already filled. This automatically incorporates preference toward certain shapes of the fill-front. For example,
patches that include corners and thin tendrils of the target region will tend to be filled first, as they are
surrounded by more pixels from the original image.
5. Comparative Study And An Alysis Of Image Inpainting Techniques
www.iosrjournals.org 47 | Page
The data term boost the priority of the patch in which a liner structure flows into.This term is very
important because it allows broken lines to correct.
3.2.1Finding Best Match Patch
Once priority is finding for all patches on boundary then take patch Ψp which has highest priority for
filling this patch first. We first find the patch Ψq in search window which is most similar to patch Ψp. The most
similar patch Ψq is the one which has the minimum difference in the pixel value with patch Ψp. Difference
between any two pixels p and q given by using sum of squared difference (SSD) method. It define as
Where, Ψp (i) and Ψq (i) are the i-th pixel value in respective patches. M is the size of the patch. μi is
pixel mask function. An exemplar patch Ψq is a patch with the lowest SSD value. Which is define as
Above equation give the patch which is most similar to the patch Ψp in the image which has minimum
SSD value Here SSD method takes color value of two pixels for difference.
3.2.3 Copying Best Match Patch And Updating Confidence Values
Once the patch Ψp is filled with new pixel value Ψq, confidence value in the area is updated as follows.
C (q) = C (p) for all q belonging to Ψp ∩ Ω.This simple update rule allows us to measure the relative confidence
of patch on the fill front. After completion of these three steps then update boundary with updated target region
and repeat these three steps until all the pixels in the target region not fill.
Algorithm
Input:
Original Image- It is an image which needs to be inpainted.
Mask Image- This image specifying the object to be removed or the regions to be inpainted. The user marks the
object to be removed with white color and other region with black color. Using this image mark the object with
red color in original image. This object which is marked in red is removed in visual plausible way.
Patch window size- this parameter gives the size of the patch around the pixel which is compared in the search
space, to find a suitable match.Search space window- this window limit the search space to a limited area,
thereby
eliminating the need of searching the suitable patch in whole source region. This improves execution time.
Output:
Inpainted image- Output image include with the removal of object specify in mark image using
inpainting algorithm in visual plausible way.
Steps of algorithm are given below:
Step1. Initialize mark variable for all pixel. If pixel belongs to inpainting region set mark variable with 0 else set
1.
Step2. Find boundary of region to be inpaint, if boundary is “empty set” than exit.
Step3. Find priority for all patches on the boundary.
Step4. Select the patch which has highest priority, call that patch, P.
Step5. Find the patch from search window which is best match to patch P, call that patch,Q.
Step6. Copy pixels of patch Q to the patch P, update only those pixels of patch P which has mark value 0 and
set mark variable to1, go to step2.
3. 3 Nonlocal-Means Approach
Main issues with the current approach to exemplar-based inpainting is the fact that they use image
information from only a single neighborhood. They do not fully exploit content redundancy in an image and,
thus, “put all their eggs in one basket”[7].They proposed approach of exemplar-based inpainting, in that
approach to use image information from multiple samples within the image and weight their contribution
according to their similarity to the neighborhood under evaluation. This concept of weighted aggregation of
nonlocal information has proven effective for the purpose of image denoising. Picking only one exemplar patch
6. Comparative Study And An Alysis Of Image Inpainting Techniques
www.iosrjournals.org 48 | Page
Ψq to propagate may lead to mistakes. Thus, Wong and Orchard[7] picked n best non-local exemplar patches
Ψqi (i=1,2,...,n).The number of best exemplar patches is fixed in Wong and Orchard's approach. But, it is
changeable in Sun and Xu's approach [8], to remove unnecessary exemplar patches.Assuming n best exemplar
patches Ψqi (i=1,2,...,n) are picked out, The weight of n best non-local exemplar patches as
A normalized linear combination coefficient is defined as αi
At last, Ψq is expressed by synthesizing the n best non-local exemplar patches Ψqi as
Where, x is pixel position in the patch. After finding Ψq fill target region of patch Ψp with synthesized patch
Ψq. This approach propagates missing pixels in Ψp with counterpart pixels in the synthesized exemplar patch
Ψq=ΣαiΨqi. However, propagated missing pixels in Ψp may not be well integrated with known pixels in Ψp.
In this regard X. Wu, W. Zeng and Z. Li[9] proposed the collaborative filtering method to synthesize and
propagate with the n best exemplar patches. It focuses on the mean deviation value Δ between known pixels and
current filling missing pixel in Ψp.When filling missing pixels in Ψp, although Δ is calculated by information in
exemplars Ψqi, the important fundamental value is based on known pixels in Ψp. Therefore, with this
propagation method, unreasonable filling result can be alleviated.
Algorithm
Steps of algorithm are given below:
Step1. Initialize mark variable for all pixel. If pixel belongs to inpainting region set mark variable with 0 else set
1.
Step2. Find boundary of region to be inpaint, if boundary is “empty set” than exit.
Step3. Find priority for all patches on the boundary.
Step4. Select the patch which has highest priority, call that patch, ΨP.
Step5. Find the n non-local exemplar patches from search window which is best match to patch ΨP, call that
patch, Ψqi, where i=1, 2…, n.
Step6. Calculate the weight of n best non-local exemplar patches w(Ψqi). Using weight of all exemplar patches
find normalized linear combination coefficient αi.
Step7. Ψq patch is expressed by synthesizing the n best non-local exemplar patches Ψqi as Ψq=ΣαiΨqi , where
i=1, 2,…, n.
Step8. Copy pixels of patch Ψq to the patch ΨP, update only those pixels of patch ΨP which has mark value 0
and set mark variable to1, go to step2.
3. 4 Collaborative Filtering Method
An online rating-based Collaborative Filtering query consists of an array of (item,rating) pairs from a
single user. Output of that query is an array of predicted (item,rating) pairs for those items the user has not yet
rated. It is the process of filtering for information or patterns by using techniques involving collaboration among
multiple agents, viewpoints, data sources, etc. So many collaborative filtering algorithms are used in e-
commerce applications such as item rating system. Because the mathematical prototype of synthesizing
exemplar patches to propagate is similar to item rating (matrix completion), collaborative filtering algorithms
can be introduced into exemplar-based propagation.
Slope one is the simplest form of non-trivial item-based collaborative filtering based on ratings. Since
this algorithm is a simple and efficient online collaborative filtering algorithm. In D. Lemire and A.
Maclachlan[10][11] approach slope One algorithms work on the intuitive principle of a “popularity differential”
between items for users. In a pairwise fashion they determine how much better one item is liked than another.
One way to measure this differential is simply to subtract the average rating ofthe two items. In turn, this
difference can be used to predict another user’s rating of one of those items, given their rating of the other.This
method is use in exemplar approached Table 3.1 shows an example to serialize pixels in a two dimensional
patch to an array.

Table 3.1. Pixel Notation In A Serialized Patch Ψp
Assuming the k-th pixel in Ψp is unknown marked by * in Table 3.2, pixel arrays of Ψp and Ψqi (i=1,2,...,n) are
arranged into a matrix as Table 3.2. 𝑃0

is the value of j-th pixel in Ψp and 𝑃𝑖

is the value of j-th pixel in
Ψqi,where i ≠ 0.
Table 3.2. Pixel Arrays Of Ψp And Ψqi.
The mean deviation value between known pixel j and missing pixel k in Ψp is
Where, αi is normalized linear combination coefficient defined in above method.In this method for finding k
value we take same row of all exemplar patches and find deviation value for all pixel of that row. If all pixel of
that row of Ψp patch is of target region than this method not give correct output so through experiment we
implement hybrid approach for that row pixels value find using nonlocal mean approach. The pixel value of
missing pixel k is obtained by
Update μk to 1 and then fill another unknown pixel in Ψp by the same method until there is no unknown pixel in
Ψp.

Step2. Find boundary of region to be inpaint, if boundary is “empty set” than exit.
Step3. Find priority for all patches on the boundary.
Step4. Select the patch which has highest priority, call that patch, ΨP.
Step5. Find the n non-local exemplar patches from search window which is best match to patch ΨP, call that
patch, Ψqi, where i=1, 2…, n.
Step6. Calculate the weight of n best non-local exemplar patches w(Ψqi). Using weight of all exemplar patches
find normalized linear combination coefficient αi.
Step7. Suppose k is missing pixel in ΨP, if all pixels of k-th pixel row of Ψp is of target region than used
nonlocal mean method otherwise take k-th pixel row of all exemplar patches and find mean deviation value
between known pixel j and missing pixel k in Ψp.
Step8. Add this mean deviation value to know pixel value of Ψp patch and new value of pixel k is calculate
using average of know pixel value of Ψp patch.
Step9. Update k-th pixel of patch ΨP with new value and set mark variable to1, if all pixels of Ψp patch fill go
to step2 otherwise go to step7.

IV. Performance Results
Here we take output image comparison of three approach. First is exemplar based approach, In this
approach take only one best exemplar patch to fill the target region.Second approach is Non local mean
approach, In this approach take n number of best exemplar patch to fill target region. However, propagated
missing pixels in target region may not be well integrated with known pixels. In this regard, the collaborative
filtering method is proposed to synthesize and propagate with the n best exemplar patches.

conclude that use of collaborative filtering method for inpainting improve the quality of output image.
V. Conclusion & FutureWork
5.1 Conclusion
Image inpainting is a technique to fill missing region or reconstruct damage area from an image. In this
dissertation, we have implemented exemplar based approach for image inpainting. This technique considers
structure propagation and texture synthesize together which reduced blur in inpainted image. It takes patches
window from damage region for inpainting. In exemplar based approach to find best patch it search entire
image. In our approach we have searched only in the predefined search window which reduced time complexity
without effecting quality of the restored image. Using above experiment we have concluded that output image
quality is depend on patch size as well as search window size. In exemplar based approach one sample of best
exemplar patch is used to fill the missing information from image. It used local information for patch
propagation. Picking only one exemplar patch to propagate may lead to mistakes. Nonlocal Mean approach for
exemplar based image inpainting take multiple sample of best exemplar patch with their
weight to synthesis target patch. It used nonlocal information is used to fill the target
region.
This patch propagation method may give blurred output image in some result or it propagate missing
pixels in target patch may not be well integrated with known pixel.Collaborative filtering method used to
synthesize and propagate with multiple sample of best exemplar patches. Here we compare results of these three
approaches and conclude that uses of collaborative filtering method improve the image quality.

5.2 Future Work
Digital inpainting algorithm aims to automate the process of inpainting, and therefore also need to
minimizing the user interaction. This algorithm can be extended which detect inpainted region without user
interaction. However, one kind of interaction which is impossible to eliminate is the selection of the inpainting
domain because that depends on the subjective choice of the user. At present, algorithm does not work well
enough with curved structures, which can be improved. The algorithm can be extended for the removal of
moving objects from a video. This will require challenging task of object tracking to be implemented as well.
The algorithm can also be extended for automated detection and removal of text in videos. Sometimes videos
are inscribed with dates, titles etc which are not required. This kind of text can be automatically detected and
removed from images and videos. The user will not have to give any mask image for this desired task.
