An improved image inpainting algorithm based on texture synthesis

This paper introduces the Criminisi algorithm in the texture synthesis technology,and presents an improved algorithm for computing the priority values on the boundary.The improved algorithm takes the boundary information into account when computing the priority values while the Criminisi algorithm only considers the confidence term and the data term.The results gained by the improved algorithm are much better than those of the traditional ones.And different parameters in the improved algorithm can be set to process different types of images,which makes the algorithm flexible and have a wide range of application.The examples show that the improved algorithm is reasonable and can offer effective and stable treatment of image information for damaged area.
