ABSTRACT:
Methods for filling in of missing or damaged regions of images using information from surrounding areas are disclosed. A model for binary inpainting based on the Cahn-Hilliard equation is used, which allows for fast, efficient inpainting of degraded text, as well as super-resolution of high contrast images.
