Motion-consistent video inpainting

We propose a fast and automatic inpainting technique for high-definition videos which works under many challenging conditions such as a moving camera, a dynamic background or a long lasting occlusion. Built upon the previous work by Newson et al. [1] which optimizes a global patch-based function, our method makes a significant improvement, especially in motion preservation, by incorporating the optical flow in several stages of the algorithm. Moreover, code parallelization and a modification in the process of patches pairwise matching yield a significant reduction of computation time. Experimental results on both classical and challenging datasets show that our algorithm outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches.
