Abstract

When photographing scenic photos, there will be some tourists, cars or other moving objects appearing in photos, which will affect the effect to some extent. Although inpainting technology provides a solution to remove unwanted objects in a single image, it requires a lot of interactions to indicate unwanted objects, and in some cases, there are still some noticeable artifacts in results. With development of smartphones and cameras, people always take a series of photos in almost the same location to capture a good picture (without other unwanted objects). In this paper, a superpixel-based voting scheme is introduced to remove unwanted moving objects in a photo with multiple related photos. First, we adopt image registration to align the image sequence. User can chose one of these photos as the target image, and the portrait are segmented from background of these photos. Then, superpixel blocks are generated in the target background, and we propose the superpixel-based voting algorithm to detect and remove moving objects automatically. At last, an interactive operation is provided to refine the result. Experimental results show that our method can remove moving objects in photos effectively.
