ABSTRACT:

Image inpainting is the process of filling in missing portions of images using the context clues around the area of interest. This method was first used on pieces of art and was performed by gifted artists. With the introduction of computers and digital imaging, this process has been applied to still imagery and motion pictures to either fill in pieces of information that are absent in the image, or to remove unwanted objects and replace them with something else.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry is the utilization of multiple SAR images to extract information; however these image stacks often have missing blocks of data. Our goal is to apply the inpainting algorithm to SAR interferograms and evaluate its success with respect to phase unwrapping.
Joint work with Ryan Humphrey.
