Image Inpainting For Gap Filling and Text Abstraction by Using Optical Character Recognition

Abstract

Inpainting is a technique referred as a restoration of image or regeneration of image .In this paper we are combining two concepts namely Image inpainting and OCR i.e. Optical character recognition. The main problem is to identify the missing region or the region we want to Inpaint, to remove the text from the same and store that text using OCR. This paper gives the overall explanation about the algorithm which is Exemplar based inpainting and recreation of a new system. The main task is to identify the text written on the image, next to that is to remove that text and store that text. After that to fill the generated gaps using image inpainting. Anyhow, the main aim of any inpainting technique is restore or reconstruct the damaged area of an image.
