This thesis evaluates automated techniques to remove objects from an image and proposed several modifications for the specific application of removing a colour checker from structure dominated images. The selection of approaches covers the main research field of image inpainting as well as an approach used in medical image processing. Their results are investigated to disclose their applicability to removing objects from structure-intense images. The advantages and disadvantages discovered in the process are then used to propose several modifications for an adapted inpainting approach suitable for removing the colour checker.
