We propose a fast and automatic inpainting technique for high-definition videos which works under many challenging conditions such as a moving camera, a dynamic background or a long lasting occlusion. Built upon the previous work by Newson et al. [1] which optimizes a global patch-based function, our method makes a significant improvement, especially in motion preservation, by incorporating the optical flow in several stages of the algorithm. Moreover, code parallelization and a modification in the process of patches pairwise matching yield a significant reduction of computation time. Experimental results on both classical and challenging datasets show that our algorithm outperforms other state-ofthe-art approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
