Using PIL to fill empty image space with nearby colors (aka inpainting)?

A method with nice results is the Navier-Stokes Image Restoration . I know OpenCV has it, don't know about PIL.

Depending on how you're deploying this application, another option might be to use the Gimp's python interface to do the image manipulation.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
