A novel exemplar-based image inpainting is proposed in this paper. This method is based on iterative approach which provides better result than greedy one. The problem of inconsistent results caused by raster scanning on target patch selection in iterative approach is focused in this paper. The proposed gradient-driven ordering is used to select target patch instead of traditionally predefined ordering. Due to the information-driven nature, this new approach is image’s rotation invariant which means the same result is provided by different rotation of the same damaged image. Moreover, a random search approach is redesigned to be more reasonable and suitable for our novel gradient-driven ordering. The proposed method provides the best inpainting result among several well-known exemplar-based inpainting techniques including both greedy and iterative approach.
