Abstract: We propose to solve the problem of image inpainting using the F-transform technique particularly of the zero and first degrees. We focus on the so-called patch inpainting. The proposed technique creates a feature vector of an image that characterizes the weighted average levels of the corresponding intensity function and its partial derivatives over certain areas. The results of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated on various patch sizes, and the issue of reconstruction quality is discussed.
