How can we get back our original image after jumbling. Is there any reverse method in matlab??

I have an image and i apply row shuffling on it..now i want my original image back. How it is possible.

you can only do this when you also have stored information on the indices that were used for the shuffling.

for example if you would have used sort on your matrix

[Asorted, idx] = sort(A);

than you could get the original A back by

Aorg = Asorted(idx);

If you did not store this information, than it is not possible to "reverse" anything in matlab

Try this horizontal shuffling:

fontSize = 20;
grayImage = imread('cameraman.tif');
[rows, columns] = size(grayImage);
subplot(1, 3, 1);
imshow(grayImage);
title('Original Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'Units', 'Normalized', 'OuterPosition', [0 0 1 1]);
% Give a name to the title bar.
set(gcf, 'Name', 'Demo by ImageAnalyst', 'NumberTitle', 'Off') 

% Scramble the image
randomRows = randperm(rows);
shuffledImage = grayImage(randomRows, :);
subplot(1, 3, 2);
imshow(shuffledImage);
title('Shuffled Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);

% Restore the image
% First find out where the random rows came from.
[~, originalRows] = sort(randomRows);
% Now, "unshuffle".
restoredImage = shuffledImage(originalRows, :);
subplot(1, 3, 3);
imshow(restoredImage);
title('Restored Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);

For a 2D scrambling, see my attached demo.
