Abstract

Image inpainting refers to restoring a damaged image with missing information. In recent years there have been many developments on computational approaches to image inpainting problem [2 4 6 9 11-13 27 28]. While there are many effective algorithms available there is still a lack of theoretical understanding on under what conditions these algorithms work well. In this paper we take a step in this direction. We investigate an error bound for inpainting methods by considering different image spaces such as smooth images piecewise constant images and a particular kind of piecewise continuous images. Numerical results are presented to validate the theoretical error bounds.
