Abstract :
A new algorithm for solving the deconvolution problem is proposed. This algorithm uses the wavelet transform to induce a multiresolution approach to deconvolve a blurred signal/image. The low resolution part of a signal/image is restored first and then high resolution information is added successively into the estimation process. Two different ways to incorporate the image space positivity constraint, namely loosely and strictly, are discussed. In to most restoration algorithms, the positivity constraint is applied directly in the transformed domain. The performance of the algorithm in the presence of noise is also investigated
