AR marker hiding based on image inpainting and reflection of illumination changes

This paper proposes a new method of diminished reality which removes AR markers from a user´s view image in real time. To achieve natural marker hiding, assuming that an area around a marker is locally planar, the marker area in the first frame is inpainted using the rectified image to achieve high-quality inpainting. The unique inpainted texture is overlaid on the marker region in each frame according to camera motion for geometric consistency. Both global and local luminance changes around the marker are separately detected and reflected to the inpainted texture for photometric consistency.
