An object inpainting algorithm for multi-view video sequences
An inpainting algorithm for multi-view video sequences is proposed in this work. First, we set a mask region in a view with manual interactions, and find the corresponding masks in the other views using the mask cloning method. Then, we overlay grid points on the mask region in the target view frame. For each grid rectangle, we find the matching patch in the source view frame. Finally, we transform and paste the patches to the target frame. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed algorithm removes objects in the multi-view sequences effectively by exploiting inter-view redundancies.
