MATLAB Demo of Exemplar-Based Image Inpainting Technology

This is a MATLAB demonstration implementing exemplar-based image inpainting technology. The algorithm effectively repairs various image defects including noise removal, scratch restoration, and missing region completion. Developed using MATLAB's image processing toolbox, the implementation utilizes patch-based texture synthesis where the system automatically selects optimal source patches from intact image regions to fill damaged areas. The demonstration showcases key functions such as region masking, patch prioritization based on gradient features, and nearest-neighbor patch matching algorithms. Through interactive examples, users can observe how this technique enhances image quality and visual appeal by intelligently reconstructing corrupted image content while preserving original texture patterns and structural continuity. The code includes configurable parameters for patch size, search window dimensions, and reconstruction iteration controls to optimize restoration results for different image types.
