Partial Differential Equation Methods for Image Inpainting (Cambridge Monographs on Applied and Computational Mathematics)
暫譯: 影像修補的偏微分方程方法（劍橋應用與計算數學專著）

This book is concerned with digital image processing techniques that use partial differential equations (PDE) for the task of image 'inpainting,' an artistic term for virtual image restoration or interpolation, whereby missing or occluded parts in images are completed based on information provided by intact parts. Computer graphic designers, artists and photographers have long used manual inpainting to restore damaged paintings or manipulate photographs. Today, mathematicians apply powerful methods based on PDE to automate this task. This book introduces the mathematical concept of PDE for virtual image restoration. It gives the full picture, from the first modelling steps originating in Gestalt theory and arts restoration to the analysis of resulting PDE models, numerical realisation and real world application. This broad approach also gives insight into functional analysis, variational calculus, optimisation and numerical analysis and will appeal to researchers and graduate students in mathematics with an interest in image processing and mathematical analysis.
