Image deconvolution using hidden Markov tree modeling of complex wavelet packets

In this paper, we propose to use a hidden Markov tree modeling of the complex wavelet packet transform, to capture the inter-scale dependencies of natural images. First, the observed image, blurred and noisy, is deconvolved without regularization. Then its transform is denoised within a Bayesian framework using the proposed model, whose parameters are estimated by an EM technique. The total complexity of this new deblurring algorithm remains O(N)
