Video Inpainting and Implant via Diversified Temporal Continuations

[[abstract]]Recent interesting issues in video inpainting are defect removal and object removal. We take one more step to replace the removed objects in a video sequence by implanting objects from another video. Before implant, we improve an exemplar-based image inpainting algorithm by using a new patch matching strategy which incorporates edge properties. The data term used in a priority computation of candidate patches is also redefined. We take varieties of temporal continuations of foreground and background into consideration. A motion compensated inpainting procedure is then proposed. The inpainted video backgrounds are visually pleasant with smooth transitions. A simple tracking algorithm is then used to produce a foreground video, which is implanted into the inpainted background video.
