    Abstract: Image filling utilizing image data captured by an array of cameras having different camera viewpoints. Image data, such as a pixel value or gradient value associated with a spatial point in a source region of an image is transferred to the same or another image to fill a target region. Visual artifacts may be reduced by filling portions of the target region visible from other viewpoints with expanded source patches to reduce the size of the target region to be inpainted. In embodiments, a shifted mask corresponding to the target region is determined for each supplementary image based on an estimate of foreground disparity. In further embodiments, partially occluded regions are detected based on an estimate of background disparity. Source patches may be expanded based on a baseline between camera viewpoints into large coherent regions that agree well with the target region boundary may be filled without hallucinating image data from similar patches.

    Abstract translation: 图像填充利用由具有不同相机视点的相机阵列捕获的图像数据。 图像数据,例如与图像的源区域中的空间点相关联的像素值或梯度值被传送到相同或另一图像以填充目标区域。 可以通过用扩展的源贴片填充从其他视点可见的目标区域的部分来减少视觉伪像,以减少要修复的目标区域的大小。 在实施例中,基于前景差异的估计,针对每个补充图像确定对应于目标区域的移位掩模。 在另外的实施例中,基于背景差异的估计来检测部分遮挡的区域。 源补丁可以基于相机视点之间的基线扩展成与目标区域边界很好一致的大的相干区域,而不会从类似的补丁中幻象出图像数据。
