A Framelet-Based Approach for Image Inpainting

In this paper, we present an image inpainting algorithm based on framelet analysis. The motivation for using framelets is that the redundancy provided by the framelets makes it possible to propagate the accurate information from the vicinity of the region to be inpainted to the inside of the region to be inpainted. This is done by small perturbations of the framelet coefficients via thresholding operators. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm is fast and effective.
