Image inpainting methods by using cellular neural networks

Some CNN methods are presented that can be used for the reconstruction of damaged or partially known images. The proposed methods take the possibility of direct implementation on an existing CNN chip into account, in a single step, by using 3*3 dimensional linear reaction templates. Due to complete parallel processing, computational time reduction is achieved. Efficiency of these methods can be increased by combining them with nonlinear template that ensures the growth of the local properties spreading area along with regional ones.
