MATLAB: Inpainting_nans by John D’Errico ERROR MESSAGE

Question

I used the inpainting_nans that is available here http://mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/4551

I used an image file with a black background picture and a white spot on the middle of it. A = imread('F:\image.bmp');

and i used the inpainting_nans code to see what will be its effect B = inpaint_nans3(A);

But I encountered this error:

?? Error using ==> mtimes Sparse integer array arithmetic operations are not supported.

Error in ==> inpaint_nans3 at 159 rhs=-fda(:,known_list)*A(known_list);

What does this mean?

Answer 1

Hi, you will probably have to convert the image from integer values to doubles. Try

Ad = double(A);

and run inpaint_nans with Ad ...
