Reconstruction of Damaged Images using Radial Basis Functions

Abstract

The Radial Basis Function method (RBF) can be used not only for reconstruction of a surface from scattered data but for reconstruc-tion of damaged images, filling gaps and for restoring missing data in images, too. The basic idea of reconstruction algorithm with RBF and very interesting results from reconstruction of images damaged by noise are presented. Feasibility of the RBF method for image processing is demonstrated.
