Image Inpainting Method Based on Painting Texture

Abstract

In this paper, I propose an image inpainting technique for damaged oil painting that aims to create their restored examples. Usually, image inpainting technique has the advantage of being able to work well for a wide variety of images because it does not require any information about target images. However, image inpainting has the potential to work more effectively if it limits the targets and introduces the processing based on property of oil painting. Proposed method achieves high performance for oil painting images by introducing two processing based on property of them. One is to apply smoothing filter based on painting technique, and the other is to add asperity of painting as texture.
