EXEMPLAR BASED INPAINTING USING WAVELET TRANSFORM

Abstract

In the modern world of digitalization peoples are trying to preserve their memories event in the format of pictures. But fact is that as time passes this image may get corrupted. Images are damages due to cracks, noise and it may possible that some unwanted person also came in image. So recovery of this corrupted image becomes the necessary for preserving this image. Inpainting is art of modifying this type of image. Inpainting technique is used to modify this type of image such that recovered image having close resemblance with original image and common observer will find difficulty for identifying difference between damaged image and modified image. In this paper two algorithms of inpainting are combined. Exemplar based inpainting which used to remove object with surrounding information and Progressive image inpainting based on wavelet transform which evaluate the energy of pixels are used for recovering of image. The results provided by this algorithm are more efficient and produce in quick time as compared to other technique.
