OpenCV : Removing sharp lines

Question

Before saying anything I will share my test image :

As you can see the forehead having a half-circle, and between the circle and the rest of the face in the boundary there is a sharp transition which is quite visible.

If I want to make it smooth, then how should I do it.

I have tried with median blurring inpainting etc. But none giving good results.

Following are some of the result that I got :

So what else can be used to solve this problem?

You need to use blending, simplest way is to use cross-fade like here, but instead of white image use your face image.

You also can use pyramid blending like in in opencv sample, or Poisson blending there are also many examples of implementation in network.

I tried with Seamless Cloning, which used Poison image editing internally. It doesn't give good result. Almost same as the input image. – arqam Aug 06 '17 at 19:53
Ok, try cross-fade mask then with large blur, like in first link. – Andrey Smorodov Aug 07 '17 at 07:51
