Image filling methods

#1. Field of the Invention

#The disclosure relates generally to image filling methods, and, more particularly to image filling methods using epipolar geometry relationships between images in different capturing angles.

#2. Description of the Related Art

#The patent or application file contains at least one drawing executed in color. Copies of this patent or patent application publication with color drawing(s) will be provided by the office upon request and payment of the necessary fee.

#Image filling methods are provided.

#FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of an image filling method.

#In step S110, a plurality of images corresponding to a target object or a scene in 3D space is captured at various angles using a video camera or a digital camera. In step S120, a specific image is determined from the images, and in step S130, a filling source image is selected from the rest of the images. The specific image is the image to be patched, and the filling source image can be used to patch filling targets in the specific image. In step S140, an epipolar geometry relationship between the filling source image and the specific image is calculated.
