Abstract:

 This paper applies exemplar-based image inpainting to video restoration, and improves the repairing method by using time correlation characteristic of video sequences. The new method of video damage restoration can repair damages which are difficult to be detected in videos. Experiments show that, comparing with exemplar-based image inpainting, the method is more efficient in video restoration, can avoid filling errors and error spread, and has better efficiency.

Key words: video restoration, image inpainting, priority, best exemplar patch, texture synthesis
