simultaneous structure and texture image inpainting an algorithm for the simultaneous filling in of texture and structure in regions of missing image information is presented in this paper the basic idea is to first decompose the image into the sum of two functions with different basic characteristics and then reconstruct each one of these functions separately with structure and texture filling in algorithms the first function used in the decomposition is of bounded variation representing the underlying image structure while the second function captures the texture and possible noise the region of missing information in the bounded variation image is reconstructed using image inpainting algorithms while the same region in the texture image is filled in with texture synthesis techniques the original image is then reconstructed adding back these two sub images the novel contribution of this paper is then in the combination of these three previously developed components image decomposition with inpainting and texture synthesis which permits the simultaneous use of filling in algorithms that are suited for different image characteristics examples on real images show the advantages of this proposed approach

image inpainting by patch propagation using patch sparsity this paper introduces a novel examplar based inpainting algorithm through investigating the sparsity of natural image patches two novel concepts of sparsity at the patch level are proposed for modeling the patch priority and patch representation which are two crucial steps for patch propagation in the examplar based inpainting approach first patch structure sparsity is designed to measure the confidence of a patch located at the image structure e g the edge or corner by the sparseness of its nonzero similarities to the neighboring patches the patch with larger structure sparsity will be assigned higher priority for further inpainting second it is assumed that the patch to be filled can be represented by the sparse linear combination of candidate patches under the local patch consistency constraint in a framework of sparse representation compared with the traditional examplar based inpainting approach structure sparsity enables better discrimination of structure and texture and the patch sparse representation forces the newly inpainted regions to be sharp and consistent with the surrounding textures experiments on synthetic and natural images show the advantages of the proposed approach
