Abstract: Image inpainting involves filling in part of an image (or video) using information from the surrounding area. In this talk I will discuss the connection of Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) in image inpainting. This important connection suggests the possibility of other hybrid methods or turbulence models in image inpainting. Recently, the three-dimensional (3d) Navier-Stokes-Voight (NSV) equations, were suggested as a regularizing model for the 3d NSE. We would like to investigate how we can tune the relevant parameters of this model to optimize the end result in image inpainting.
