Abstract

A new video inpainting algorithm is proposed for removing unwanted objects or error of sources from video data. In the first step, the block bundle is defined by the motion information of the video data to keep the temporal consistency. Next, the block bundles are arranged in the 3-dimensional graph that is constructed by the spatial and temporal correlation. Finally, we pose the inpainting problem in the form of a discrete global optimization and minimize the objective function to find the best temporal bundles for the grid points. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm yields visually pleasing video inpainting results even in a dynamic scene.
