Inpainting of binary images using the Cahn-Hilliard equation

IEEE Trans Image Process. 2007 Jan;16(1):285-91. doi: 10.1109/tip.2006.887728.

Abstract

Image inpainting is the filling in of missing or damaged regions of images using information from surrounding areas. We outline here the use of a model for binary inpainting based on the Cahn-Hilliard equation, which allows for fast, efficient inpainting of degraded text, as well as super-resolution of high contrast images.
