Inpainting

• "Intelligent replacement" of disturbed or undefined image pixels
• Five new inpainting operators with methods optimimized for different applications:
  smooth interpolation, continuation of homogeneous areas, continuation of edges,
  continuation with softer edges, neighborhood texture

application examples

:: Parts of images can be disturbed or even not be defined, for example    - undefined depth pixels of a stereo reconstruction    - texture or noise on objects when creating a shape model    - destroyed parts in a photography :: HALCON 7.1 inpainting restores the image and brings back its structure for edge detection:     disturbed (black pixels)   inpainting area   restored :: Another impressing example, this time by the method that uses the texture in the neighborhood    of the inpainting area. A trunk vanishes and gives free the view on the trees behind it:     photo with tree trunk   inpainting area   photo without tree trunk
