Using frequency decomposition for better color consistency in a synthesized region

摘要

A method and apparatus for synthesis of homogeneous regions when infilling a missing region, such as for inpainting removed (or moved) objects from the image is presented. A color interpolation process is performed across opposing boundaries of the missing region for directing the color selection in the patch matching process. Patch matching is performed based on using a detail layer modified by information from color interpolation for each target patch which fills from the extremity of the missing region in towards its center.
