InpaintImage_Telea (InpaintImage Telea)

Module:	FoundationPro

Fills in a region of an image with pixel values interpolated from the borders of the area; uses fast marching method.

Applications

Speculative setting of unknown (or unwanted) pixels. This version is trying to do this better than with simple interpolation.

Name	Type	Range	Description
inImage	Image		Input image
inRegionToInpaint	Region
inRange	Integer	1 - +	Defines how far a pixel can be from one currently being inpainted to be considered in calculations
outImage	Image		Output image

Description

This filter inpaint a region of an image using the fast marching method. It is a simper version of InpaintImage_Bornemann in that it only uses the shape of the inpainting region and doesn't use structural information of the image.

Each inpainted pixel is filled with a color calculated as a weighted average of all already known (i.e. those outside of the inpainting range or those that were already) pixels withing a range specified by the parameter inRange. Using a higher range will result in smoother edges withing the inpainted region.

Examples

Comparison between low and high values of inRange. From the left: input, output with inRange = 4, output with inRange = 12

Errors

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.

List of possible exceptions:

Error type	Description
DomainError	Expainting region (inRegionToExpaint) exceeds the image in InpaintImage_Telea.
DomainError	No pixels available at the edge of inRegionToInpaint in InpaintImage_Telea.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Advanced Complexity Level.
