Abstract
This paper exploits the time scale structure of the wavelet coefficients for implementing a novel and fast scheme for signal and image denoising. The time scale behavior of the coefficients is rigorously modeled through superposition of simple atoms using suitable projection spaces. This result allows us to avoid expensive numerical schemes requiring a low computational effort. Extensive experimental results show the competitive performances of the proposed approach.
