Abstract
An approach to synthesizing missing pixels in video images. The invention synthesizes an outermost ring of pixels within a block of missing pixels, based on adjacent, known, pixels. Then, the invention synthesizes the next-outermost ring, using, in part, pixels synthesized in the outermost ring, and proceeds in this manner to the innermost ring.
