Abstract
Provided are an image restoration method and device. The method comprises: processing image blocks, which are initially registered, to acquire connection curves among the image blocks; constructing an ambient field of images to be restored by means of the connection curve; by minimizing energy of the connection curve in the ambient field, registering the image blocks; and performing image filling on the registered image blocks to acquire a restored image. The device comprises: a processing unit used for processing the image blocks, which are initially registered, to acquire the connection curve among the image blocks; an ambient field construction unit used for constructing the ambient field of the image to be restored by means of the connection curve; a registering unit used for registering the image blocks by minimizing the energy of the connection curve in the ambient field; and a filling unit used for performing image filling on the registered image blocks to acquire the restored image. The present invention can be applied to restore any damaged image and improve the accuracy.
