Reduce loss of quality when using imfill and imfuse

1 view (last 30 days)
I have to fill some regions of a black and white map, whose regions are black and are delimited by white borders.
This is the code
fill_regions = [ 128 58
280 80
335 292
430 430
470 475
525 525
550 655
680 610
770 380
785 480];
I = imread('https://i.imgur.com/4kWRWDV.png'); % black italy with white borders
BW = imbinarize(I,.1); % turn I into a black-white image...I had to use .1 threshold to prevent the filling of multiple adiacent regions
T = imread('https://i.imgur.com/1QY6Qw0.png'); % transparent italy, has only the borders
for i = 1:size(fill_regions,1)
BW = imfill(BW,fill_regions(i,:));
end
imshow( imfuse(BW,T,'diff') ); % add the erased borders to BW
saveas(gcf, 'test.png')
and here is a comparison between original image (left) and filled one (right)
as you can see, the filled image has poor quality (but also the original image has not the same quality as the source image...why this happens?).
Is there a way to preserve the same quality as the source image or, at least, to reduce the loss of quality?

I saved your boundary image, it's poor quality. Look
You don't need for loop in this case, just imfill
I1 = imfill(BW,fill_regions);

thank you, it works without the for loop. yes the original image is not high quality, but matlab seems to worsen it even more (borders are cut in some parts)

By placing the following command right before the saveas one
set(gcf, 'Position', get(0, 'Screensize'))
the size of the output image is increased, in my case from 853x827 to 2134x1103, and the quality of the image is increased too. However, since my screen size is 1366x768, I don't know why the size is set to 2134x1103.
EDIT
another option is to use the export_fig toolbox
export_fig test.png -m2
where -m2 produces an image double the size (in pixels) of the on screen figure
