Abstract
We proposed variational models for image inpainting in wavelet domain,
which aims to filling in missing or damaged wavelet coefficients
in image reconstruction. The problem is motaviated by error concealment
in image processing and communications. And it is closely related to the
classical image inpainting, with the difference being that the
inpainting regions are in the wavelet domain. This
brings new challenges to the reconstructions. The new variational
models, especially total variation minimization in conjunction
with wavelets lead to PDE's, in the wavelet domain and can be solved
numerically. The proposed models have effective and automatic control
over geometric features of the inpainted images including sharp edges,
even
in the presence of substantial loss of wavelet coefficients, including in
the low frequencies. This work is jointly with Tony Chan (UCLA) and
Jackie Shen (Minnesota).
