Image Inpainting Based on Smooth Level Lines

Abstract

This \u00a0paper \u00a0gives \u00a0a \u00a0new \u00a0inpainting \u00a0model \u00a0based \u00a0on \u00a0curve \u00a0and \u00a0horizontal \u00a0line \u00a0evolution. \u00a0By connecting \u00a0the \u00a0level \u00a0lines \u00a0that \u00a0reach \u00a0the \u00a0edges \u00a0and \u00a0let \u00a0the \u00a0connected \u00a0lines \u00a0have \u00a0minimum \u00a0curvature, \u00a0the model \u00a0can \u00a0finish \u00a0the \u00a0task \u00a0successfully. \u00a0What\u2019s \u00a0more, \u00a0the \u00a0algorithm \u00a0has \u00a0no \u00a0request \u00a0on \u00a0the \u00a0topology \u00a0of \u00a0the inpainting area and can deal with all areas simultaneously.
