Abstract
We describe a non-parametric algorithm for multiple-viewpoint video inpainting. Uniquely, our algorithm addresses the domain of wide baseline multiple-viewpoint video (MVV) with no temporal look-ahead in near real time speed. A Dictionary of Patches (DoP) is built using multi-resolution texture patches reprojected from geometric proxies available in the alternate views. We dynamically update the DoP over time, and a Markov Random Field optimisation over depth and appearance is used to resolve and align a selection of multiple candidates for a given patch, this ensures the inpainting of large regions in a plausible manner conserving both spatial and temporal coherence. We demonstrate the removal of large objects (e.g., people) on challenging indoor and outdoor MVV exhibiting cluttered, dynamic backgrounds and moving cameras.
