Claim Text:
1. A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising: receiving an indication of a target region of a first image that is to be filled, the target region having an occluded portion; computing a patch to be used to fill the target region in the first image based at least in part on a source region that includes the first image and based at least in part on a second image having a portion that corresponds to the occluded portion of the first image, the computing performed without performing an explicit preliminary warping operation and by blending a plurality of patches taken from the source region using a blending weight to enforce cross-image consistency between the first and second images, the blending weight being increased for patches that are consistent with their stereoscopic counterparts in the second image; and filling the target region of the first image using the computed patch.
