A well-posedness framework for inpainting based on coherence transport (Q896554)

The author studies the problem of well--posedness for some first order functional advection PDE on a compact domain with all inflow boundaries. That equation describes some very efficient impainting method presented in [\textit{F. Bornemann} and \textit{T. März}, ``Fast image inpainting based on coherence transport'', J. Math. Imaging Vision, 28 259--278 (2007)]. The method is based on coherence transport that reproduces and/or removes corrupted regions of an image. The image information is propagated along integral curves of a coherence vector field from the boundary toward the interior. Some examples of inpainting results are presented. The \(C^{++}\) implementing Fast Impainting Based on Coherence Transport with a mex--interface to MATLAB and the impainting examples are available on the Internet under the links: \url{https://github.com/maerztom/inpaintBCT } and \url{http://www-m3.ma.tum.de/bornemann/InpaintingCodeAndData.zip}, respectively.
