Disparity Image Inpainting with Improved Method Based on Exemplar

To combat the problems of disparity image inpainting, an improved exemplar-based image inpainting method is proposed. The original stereo image we select which corresponds to disparity image is decomposed by TV-based decomposition and the structural information is obtained. The patch priority in the position corresponding to the disparity image is calculated by using the structural information, which reflects true characteristics of the original stereo image and disparity image. Experimental results show that inpainting performance is better with the guidance of this patch priority for disparity image.
