Abstract

This paper presents the evaluation of two approaches widely used in the inpainting literature, applied in the context of atmospheric noise removal, such as fog, dense and sparse clouds and shadows, which often occurs in remote sensing images. One approach uses the technique of nearest neighbor interpolation for the information dissemination by a DCT-based smoothing method, and the other is based on second-order partial differential equations methods that uses the heat diffusion and thin-plate spline methods, achieving their solutions by using the finite-difference method. Finally, the evaluation uses the Kappa coefficient and the PSNR index. The metrics indicate the effectiveness of the nearest neighbor interpolation strategy, which produces higher quality images, specially when comparing the results obtained by the use of differential equations modeled by thin-plate spline.
