PatchMatch

permalink

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this since I'm pretty new to
the open source community. However, did anyone ever look into implementing
the PatchMatch algorithm in GIMP? There's a video on it at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgKjs8ZjQNg and a paper at
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/gfx/pubs/Barnes_2009_PAR/index.php with sample
source code. It seems like a major step in image editing and there's no
program that fully uses it yet. Supposedly Adobe Photoshop CS5 included some
parts of it for context-aware filling but most features aren't implemented.
If we could port it to GIMP, I'm sure there could be a huge variety of
applications and many users would switch for that feature alone.

Yes, Carlo Baldassi, creator of Loquid Rescale, experimented with the
algorithm when the paper was first published and has some initial
code. Back then he told me that unlike seam carving paper this one was
already written in a way that makes implementing 3rd party software
difficult.

@Alexia: Resythesizer doesn't cover all features of content-aware
filling aka patchmatch and is unmaintained.
