Object Removal by Exemplar-based Inpainting





USING THE CODE



Everything was done in Matlab and MEX (i.e. a C function callable from

Matlab).　First, the C code needs to be compiled.　At the Matlab

prompt, type:



　 mex bestexemplarhelper.c



You should then be able to run the following (which takes ~2mins on my

2GHz Pentium 4 laptop with 256MB of RAM):



　 [i1,i2,i3,c,d,mov] = inpaint( bungee0.png , bungee1.png ,[0 255 0])



A smaller run (~25 seconds) would be:



　 [i1,i2,i3,c,d,mov] = inpaint( bw0.png , bw2.png ,[0 255 0])



To visualize:



　 plotall

　 close　movie(mov)
