Abstract
Image inpainting is an evolving discipline of image processing with the objective of reconstructing an image by removing unwanted information, adding missing information or presenting the information appealing to the human visual system. In the presented manuscript, we have exhibited an extensive survey of various image inpainting techniques. The effectiveness of the techniques is together summarized with significant comparisons and assessed by analyzing the merits and demerits. For applicability of image inpainting imparting optimum results in the field of loss concealment, object removal, image restoration or disocclusion, the information from nearby regions is seeked to acquire an image with restored absent information. The inpainted image result can be evaluated using subjective and objective analysis, with emphasis on subjective analysis as a dedicated tool for evaluation.
