Assessment of sparse-based inpainting for retinal vessel removal

作者:

Highlights:

• The performance of sparse-based inpainting for retinal vessel removal was explored.

• A way to assess inpainting methods in non-artificial applications is established.

• Different configurations of the sparse-based inpainting were tested and evaluated.

• RGB-separated inpainting and RGB-jointly inpainting were compared.

• An objective comparison of inpainting methods was carried out.
