In this correspondence, a novel wavelet-based approach to recover continuous-tone (contone) images from halftone images is presented. Wavelet decomposition of the halftone image facilitates a series of spatial and frequency selective processing to preserve most of the original image contents while eliminating the halftone noise. Furthermore, optional nonlinear filtering can be applied as a postprocessing stage to create the final aesthetic contone image. This approach lends itself to practical applications since it is independent of parameter estimation and, hence, universal to all types of halftoned images, including those obtained by scanning printed halftones
