Criminisi Algorithm for Image Inpainting

Application Background - Detailed explanation of the Criminisi algorithm for easy understanding! Currently, mainstream image inpainting models include PDE-based models [1-2] and texture synthesis models [3]. PDE models involve heavy computation, long processing times, and limited texture restoration capability, making them suitable only for narrow-area repairs like scratches and stains. Texture synthesis models extract features from surrounding areas and synthesize matching textures, making them ideal for larger damaged regions. Real-world images contain complex structures and multiple textures. Reference [4] proposes...
