Journal ArticleDOI
Region filling and object removal by exemplar-based image inpainting
TL;DR: The simultaneous propagation of texture and structure information is achieved by a single, efficient algorithm that combines the advantages of two approaches: exemplar-based texture synthesis and block-based sampling process.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wallflower: principles and practice of background maintenance
TL;DR: This work develops Wallflower, a three-component system for background maintenance that is shown to outperform previous algorithms by handling a greater set of the difficult situations that can occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digital photography with flash and no-flash image pairs
Georg F. Petschnigg,Richard Szeliski,Maneesh Agrawala,Michael Cohen,Hugues Hoppe,Kentaro Toyama +5 more
TL;DR: A variety of applications that analyze and combine the strengths of flash/no-flash image pairs can synthesize new images that are of higher quality than either of the originals.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Object removal by exemplar-based inpainting
TL;DR: A best-first algorithm in which the confidence in the synthesized pixel values is propagated in a manner similar to the propagation of information in inpainting, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the algorithm in removing large occluding objects as well as thin scratches.

System and method for exchanging images
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for providing a peer-to-peer photo-sharing environment is presented, which includes manual and automatic photo annotation at the client; periodic client-server synchronization; an index of client photos on a central server or a photo database that is resident on the central server, which is updated by the client- server synchronization function; end-user search functionality to search the centralized index or photo database; and transmission of the relevant photos to the client via an on-line image cache.
