#### An Edge Driven Wavelet Frame Model for Image RestorationMS24

Wavelet frame systems are known to be effective in capturing singularities from degraded images. In this talk, we introduce a new edge driven wavelet frame model for image restoration by approximating images as piecewise smooth functions. With an implicit representation of singularity sets, the proposed model inflicts different strength of regularization on smooth region and singularities. Our model is robust to both image approximation and singularity estimation. The implicit formulation also enables to provide a rigorous connection between the discrete model and the continuous variational model.
