Image Restoration using Mirroring Method Which Based on the Gradient Direction

Abstract

Restoring a damaged image is a challenging topic in the field of image restoration. The famous previous method for restoring a degraded image are filters (inverse and wiener) and maximum a posteriori (MAP) formulation. However, that method has limited performance for restoring damaged images. In this paper, the multi mirroring method have been implemented for reconstructing damaged image which based on gradient direction. Firstly, the method will detect damaged image areas and then the multi mirroring method is implemented for filling a damaged image area. The simulation result shows that the proposed method has good result and capable to restore the damaged image.
