Part 1 Smooth Completion
Smooth Image Completion What if there is a missing area ? f* – the known image Scalar 2D function from (x,y) to grayscale value. f - the image in the unknown area Ω– the unknown area (domain of f) Will complete the area as smoothly as possible.
Smooth Image Completion(Cont.) Finding the minimum: Euler-Lagrange Discrete Aprx:
Discrete Derivate in 1D • Given a discrete function f(xi)=fi f f(xi) f(xj) x
Smooth Image Completion(Solving) • Each fx,y is an unknown variable xi, total of N variables (covering the unknown pixels) • Reduces to the sparse algebraic system: fx,y-1+fx-1,y-4fx,y+fx+1,y+fx,y+1=0 => xi-w+xi-1-4xi+xi+1+xi+w=0 x1 x2 … xN 0 0 b1 b2 0 0 0 b3 0 1 1 -4 1 1 Known values of f() contribute to the left side 1 1 -4 1 1 xi-w+xi-1-4xi+xi+1=-f(x,y+1) 1 1 -4 1 1 = N x N
Program Usage The program generates one output image • Ex1 –complete <input image> R G B <output> Where R,G,B are the RGB values [0..255] of the unknown color (usually best as black 0,0,0) • Example: • Ex1 –complete in1.bmp 0 0 0 out1.bmp

Part 2 Poisson Cloning
Poisson Cloning:“Guiding” the completion • We can guide the completion from part1 to fill the hole using gradients from another source image • Reverse: Seek a function f whose gradients are closest to the gradients of the source image
Poisson Cloning (forward difference) (backward difference)
Poisson Cloning (Solving) • Each fx,y is a variable xi as before, solving • As before this reduces to a sparse algebraic system fx,y-1+fx-1,y-4fx,y+fx+1,y+fx,y+1=divG(x,y) => xi-w+xi-1-4xi+xi+1+xi+w=divG(x,y)
Program Usage The program generates one output image • Ex1 –clone <source image> <source mask> <target image> x y <output> Where x y are the offset for the paste
Important Remarks • You should write the programs in C or C++ or Matlab. • Document your program thoroughly. • In this assignment there is no need to open a window or use OpenGL in any way. • Visit the exercise web-page http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tommer/adv-graphics/ex1.htm
Important Remarks • The work can be done in pairs. • Submit your work on diskettes (or CD’s). Hardcopy of the documentation. • Do not print the source-code • In the documentation: Answer the questions from exercise website • Points will be rewarded for nice and original images.
More Important Remarks • Don't forget to check the number of parameters that your program receives. • Don't forget to check memory allocations, if they succeeded or failed. • Pay attention to the borders of the image. • Visualize the gradients/div to better understand what is going on
A Little Help • IrfanView – An image viewer, editor. • FreeImage/CxImage – Open source libraries (C/C++) for working with images. • TAUCS – Sparse solver • See links on the exercise webpage • Important questions: • Email me tommer -a--t- tau.ac.il http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tommer/adv-graphics/ex1.htm
