Abstract
A memory device receives an original input image having at least one horizontal reticle or at least one vertical reticle. The memory device also receives a horizontal reticle mask image for horizontal reticles and/or a vertical reticle mask image for vertical reticles. A processor inpaints three regions: (1) vertical reticles with a horizontal filter, (2) horizontal reticles with a vertical filter, and (3) an intersection of the horizontal and vertical reticles with a two dimensional filter. A single inpainted image is produced. The processor determines whether a maximum change in any one of the first inpainted region, the second inpainted region or the third inpainted region equals or exceeds a predetermined threshold, and if so, repeating the inpainting steps. Once the maximum change in pixel intensity is less than the predetermined threshold the processing stops.
