Object Removal and Image Inpainting Algorithm

In image processing, "object removal" refers to the capability where users can freely erase specific objects from images. The algorithm automatically fills the resulting voids using surrounding background information through sophisticated inpainting techniques, achieving visually seamless results indistinguishable from original imagery. This technology, also termed "inpainting," is implemented in MATLAB utilizing pixel-level texture synthesis algorithms that analyze spatial relationships and color distributions. The implementation demonstrates excellent performance with comprehensive supporting materials including technical documentation, interactive demonstrations, and diverse test images. Furthermore, the program extends functionality to handle multiple object removals simultaneously, incorporating priority-based filling mechanisms and patch-matching optimization to facilitate efficient image editing workflows. Key MATLAB functions involved include region masking, gradient computation, and iterative patch-based reconstruction algorithms ensuring natural-looking completion results.
