Video logo removal using iterative subsequent matching

Video inpainting methods has a large number of applications and some of these algorithms are specialized for specific applications such as logo removal. There are only a few general video inpainting algorithms most of which are very time-consuming. This problem makes these algorithms unsuitable for fast video inpainting. In this paper, a fast simple logo removal algorithm has been proposed which uses frames of each video shot for logo removal and removes logo from video after a few iterations. A more accurate non-casual version of our algorithm is also proposed which uses both the information of previous and next frames. The quality of the inpainted video is also comparable with well-known video inpainting algorithms.
