'Since the late 1990s, there has been a substantial amount of academic works on the application of partial differential equations (PDEs) to the restoration of missing parts in images, which is usually referred to as the 'inpainting problem'. This book provides a very comprehensive, clear, and well-written account of the use of PDEs for inpainting, and this is no minor feat, given the sizeable literature on the subject and the mathematical complexity of many of the techniques described.' Marcelo Bertalmío, Universitat Pompeu Fabra
'Image inpainting is a new mathematical and technological problem with manifold applications in science and entertainment. In the past twenty years, it has challenged mathematicians and computer scientists alike. They have deployed a treasure of imagination and mathematical skills to solve it. Incorporating striking experiments, reproducible algorithms, and a simple and complete mathematical account, this book is a must-read on the subject.'
