Abstract

In this paper, we propose using Partial Differential Equation (PDE) techniques in wavelet based image processing to reduce edge artifacts generated by wavelet thresholding. We employ minimization techniques, in particular the minimization of total variation (TV), to modify the retained standard wavelet coefficients so that the reconstructed images have less oscillations near edges. Numerical experiments show that this approach improves the reconstructed image quality in wavelet compression and in denoising.
