Image Inpainting via Fluid Equations

An inpainting technique for images and videos is introduced. The idea is to use fluid equations – the Navier-Stokes equations- as a PDE based method for the image processing. The representation of the Navier-Stokes in terms the of streamfunction eases the implementation and the analysis of the method. We applied the new method to color images and show some numerical results.
