Abstract

Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to object replacement in an image. The method includes receiving a user input identifying an object depicted in an image. The method further includes removing the object from the image by replacing a first region of the image with one or more patch matches identified from a second region of the image. Each of the one or more patch matches comprises two identical image patches. The second region includes a portion of the image that is outside of the first region and that surrounds the first region. The replacing of the first region with the one or more patch matches identified from the second region yields a modified image without the object.
