Abstract

In this paper, we suggest an algorithm to recover an image whose wavelet coefficients are partially lost. We propose a wavelet inpainting model by using L 0 -norm and the total variation (TV) minimization. Traditionally, L 0 -norm is replaced by L 1 -norm or L 2 -norm due to numerical difficulties. We use an alternating minimization technique to overcome these difficulties. In order to improve the numerical efficiency, we also apply a graph cut algorithm to solve the subproblem related to TV minimization. Numerical results will be given to demonstrate our advantages of the proposed algorithm.
