How is the hidden background generated when an object/person is cropped out of a photo?

179 views

For example, you have a photo of two people in the foreground and a library in the background. Someone uses software or an app to remove one (or even both) of them from the photo.

What I don’t understand is how they fill in the part of the background that was originally hidden from view by the person standing in front of it. Can someone please explain this to me?

Other people in the comments are mentioning machine learning. I’m sure thats possible, but I always do it manually. Either I have a second picture with similar background elements and I layer them or I grab objects from the scene. Copy, paste, rotate, etc until it looks believable
