Abstract:
Image completion using scene geometry is described, for example, to remove marks from digital photographs or complete regions which are blank due to editing. In an embodiment an image depicting, from a viewpoint, a scene of textured objects has regions to be completed. In an example, geometry of the scene is estimated from a depth map and the geometry used to warp the image so that at least some surfaces depicted in the image are fronto-parallel to the viewpoint. An image completion process is guided using distortion applied during the warping. For example, patches used to fill the regions are selected on the basis of distortion introduced by the warping. In examples where the scene comprises regions having only planar surfaces the warping process comprises rotating the image. Where the scene comprises non-planar surfaces, geodesic distances between image elements may be scaled to flatten the non-planar surfaces.
