Estimating missing data values by using interpolation algorithms is a well-known technique. Kriging is an optimized interpolation method based on regression against evaluated values from the surrounding observation points, weighted according to spatially varying values according to the covariance between these observation points. It has been widely used for estimating the missing geological data of the areas based on the measurements in close proximity. In this work we use the Kriging to recover the missing pixels of digital images. Even though Kriging is considered as successful on estimating the missing pixels, the algorithm has a high operation load, causing delays especially for live streaming videos. In this paper we propose a parallel architecture to improve the performance and reduce the operation time of the Kriging Algorithm for estimating the missing pixels. The proposed method can be applied on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and considerable performance improvement have been achieved depending on the number of logic blocks available inside the FPGA.
