Definition:Video inpainting refers to digital video restoration and video inpainting techniques should perform spatiotemporal restoration and adapt itself to the varying structural and motion characteristics of the visual data.

Digital inpainting plays a crucial role in digital video restoration. Digital processing of archived video data, transmission over best effort networks or wireless communication channels, and aggressive coding introduce visual impairments in video sequences [1]-[3]. For example, channel fading during the wireless transmission of MPEG-coded videos can lead to packet loss which causes missed blocks in a received video. Furthermore, archived films and videos are exposed to chemical and physical elements as well as environmental conditions, which cause visual information loss and artifacts in the corresponding digital representation.

Motion video can be viewed as a three-dimensional (3-D) image signal or a time sequence of two-dimensional (2-D) images (frames) [1]....
