iv_gradient_inpaint — 2D restoration op

Data kinds: imageimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "iv_gradient_inpaint", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

Usage

Harmonic (Laplace) inpainting of a central masked window. The interior of a centred window (side fraction from `a) is discarded and refilled by solving nabla^2 u = 0 with Dirichlet boundary equal to the surrounding known pixels (Jacobi relaxation = repeatedly replacing each masked pixel by its 4-neighbour mean). The recovered interior is the smoothest (minimum-gradient) fill of the hole. a sets the window size; b` is ignored.
