We consider the problem of filling in missing or damaged wavelet coe#cients due to lossy image transmission or communication. The task is closely related to classical inpainting problems, but also remarkably di#ers in that the inpainting regions are in the wavelet domain. New challenges include that the resulting inpainting regions in the pixel domain are usually not well defined, as well as that degradation is often spatially inhomogeneous. Two novel variational models are proposed to meet such challenges, which combine the total variation (TV) minimization technique with wavelet representations. The associated Euler-Lagrange equations lead to nonlinear partial di#erential equations (PDE's) in the wavelet domain, and proper numerical algorithms and schemes are designed to handle their computation. The proposed models can have e#ective and automatic control over geometric features of the inpainted images, including the sharpness and curvature information of edges.

Inpainting is an image interpolation problem, with broad applications in image and vision analysis. This paper presents our recent efforts in developing inpainting models based on the Bayesian and variational principles. We discuss several geometric image models, their role in the construction of variational inpainting models, and the associated Euler-Lagrange PDEs and their numerical computation.

We construct a new variational method for blind deconvolution of images and inpainting, motivated by recent PDE-based techniques involving the Ginzburg-Landau functional, but using more localized wavelet-based methods. We present results for both binary and grayscale images. Comparable speeds are achieved with better sharpness of edges in the reconstruction.

Two challenges in computer vision are to accommodate noisy data and missing data. Many problems in computer vision, such as segmentation, filtering, stereo, reconstruction, inpainting and optical flow seek solutions that match the data while satisfying an additional regularization, such as total variation or boundary length. A regularization which has received less attention is to minimize the curvature of the solution. One reason why this regularization has received less attention is due to the difficulty in finding an optimal solution to this image model, since many existing methods are complicated, slow and/or provide a suboptimal solution. Following the recent progress of Schoenemann et al. [28], we provide a simple formulation of curvature regularization which admits a fast optimization which gives globally optimal solutions in practice. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method by applying this curvature regularization to image segmentation. 1.

this article, we discuss the question "What Level Set Methods can do for image science". We examine the scope of these techniques in image science, in particular in image segmentation, and introduce some relevant level set techniques that are potentially useful for this class of applications. We will show that image science demands multi-disciplinary knowledge and flexible but still robust methods. That is why the Level Set Method has become a thriving technique in this field

There are currently several communities working on algorithms for classification of high dimensional data. This work develops a class of variational algorithms that combine recent ideas from spectral methods on graphs with nonlinear edge/region detection methods traditionally used in in the PDE-based imaging community. The algorithms are based on the Ginzburg-Landau functional which has classical PDE connections to total variation minimization. Convex-splitting algorithms allow us to quickly find minimizers of the proposed model and take advantage of fast spectral solvers of linear graph-theoretic problems. We present diverse computational examples involving both basic clustering and semi-supervised learning for different applications. Case studies include feature identification in images, segmentation in social networks, and segmentation of shapes in high dimensional datasets.

Abstract. The Cahn-Hilliard equation is a fourth order reaction diffusion equation originating in material science for modeling phase separation and phase coarsening in binary alloys. The inpainting of binary images using the Cahn-Hilliard equation is a new approach in image processing. In this paper we discuss the stationary state of the proposed model and introduce a generalization for grayvalue images of bounded variation. This is realized by using subgradients of the total variation functional within the flow, which leads to structure inpainting with smooth curvature of level sets. Key words.

An important task in image processing is the process of filling in missing parts of damaged images based on the information obtained from the surrounding areas. It is essentially a type of interpolation and is referred to as inpainting. Given an image f in a suitable Banach space of functions defined on Ω ⊂ R2, an open and bounded domain, the problem is to reconstruct the original image u in the damaged domain D ⊂ Ω, called inpainting domain.
