title: Image content aware patching (autocompletion) in opencv?
body: <p>I am extracting an object from an image, after finishing the extraction I am replacing the object (defined by a connected component) with white pixels. After that I want to fix the original image as much as possible so that it looks like as if I didn't remove the object from it. Here is a <a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/5yX1K.jpg" rel="nofollow">sample image</a> that demonstrates what I want to do.</p>
  
  <p>Does opencv include content aware patching algorithms that achieve this effect? I am currently using opencv and c++, if opencv doesn't support this, are there any well known c++ libraries that does this? </p>
  
  <p>If this task is easy to achieve with opencv or other libraries I would appreciate a small code/link to a sample of usage.</p>
