Abstract

Systems and methods for image processing including a memory having stored multi-angled view images of a scene. Each multi-angled view image includes pixels, and at least one multi-angled view image includes a clouded area in the scene, resulting in missing pixels. A processor configured to align three multi-angled view images in the multi-angled view images to a target view angle of the scene, to form a set of aligned multi-angled view images representing a target point of view of the scene, at least one aligned multi-angled view image of the at least three multi-angled view images, has missing pixels due to the clouded area. Form a matrix using vectorized aligned multi-angled view images, wherein the matrix is incomplete due to the missing pixels. Complete the matrix using a matrix completion to combine the aligned multi-angled view images to produce a fused image of the scene without the clouded area.
