I studied this in college. The 8 point algorithm as I recall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-point_algorithm

A sample project I did at UCLA https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2cbJSismcJbVk02MXd1b2pnU3c...

The impainting can be global and locally, but it has to be temporally stable to avoid shakiness associated with impainting multiple frames.

Photoshop unveiled a similar temporally stable algorithm which does just that (provided that you select a marquee selection around the object.) I can't find the link though. Perhaps those two algorithms can be combined to first locate the object then remove it.

Cool idea. But also, apparently this is a website for submitting and rating ideas themselves?
