Chapter 10
Edge-Based Inpainting
10.1 Introduction
Over the last two decades, great improvements have been made in image and video
compression techniques driven by a growing demand for storage and transmission
of visual information. State-of-the-art JPEG 2000 and MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 are two
examples that significantly outperform their previous rivals in terms of coding ef-
ficiency. However, these mainstream signal-processing-based compression schemes
share a common architecture, namely, transform followed by entropy coding, where
only the statistical redundancy among pixels is considered as the adversary of coding.
Through two decades of development, it has been becoming difficult to continuously
improve coding performance under such architecture. ...
