A Research for Implementing Image Interpolation using Inpainting and Shearlet Transform

This paper proposes a way to improve the compression ratio of images by expunging some parts of the image prior transmission. The remaining data besides essential details for recovering the removed regions are encoded to produce the final data. At the decoding side an inpainting method is applied to retrieve the removed region. The Shearlet Transform is used for the smoothing purpose of the recovered image. This transform can identify the location of singularities of a function and also the orientation of discontinuity curves. The Shearlet Transform has the ability to provide a very accurate geometrical characterization of general discontinuity occurring in images.
