Demonstrating the mathematical foundation of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) that quantifies the difference between an original and an inpainted image with respect to pixel values, as well as structural similarity index (SSIM) that takes into account the luminance, contrast, and structure of images, and learned perceptual image patch similarity (LPIPS) measures the quality of reconstruction:Ĭonsidering ‘m’ to be the total number of pixels emitted to form an image and MSE is the mean square error computed by the mathematical equation: To estimate the performance of the techniques available to implement image inpainting, numerous performance evaluators are available that indicate the effectiveness of the scheme. This has been executed digitally by using several techniques. Furthermore, it restores old pictures that might have smashed edges or some stains on them. The basic functioning and the steps involved in the processing of image inpainting are shown in Figure 1. This method works by either considering the information from the surrounding pixels to predict what should be in the spoiled region, creating a seamless restoration of an original image or by replacing the damaged pixels with pixels analogous to the adjacent ones, therefore making them unremarkable and helping them blend well with the background. It also aims to confiscate the disfigurement caused due to noise, strokes, and text on the image, as well as to accurately fill up the omitted parts of an image (see video). The most primitive work on inpainting dates back to the 1970s and researchers used unchallenging techniques such as nearest neighbor interpolation to fill in missing pixels.Īn image processing approach aims to provide visual conceivable restoration of missing regions of an image or video. Image inpainting has been a vigorous area of research in the field of computer vision for many years, acknowledged for restoring damaged regions of an image by extrapolating from the surrounding pixels applicable in numerous technical fields.
