Detecting stable scales in images via non-smooth K-functional

In image decompositions, one is interested in decomposing f into u+v where u and v have different features. In a variational approach, such a decomposition is achieved by solving the following variational problem inf (u,v)∈X1×X2 {tF1(u) + F2(v) : f = u+ v} , where F1 and F2 are positive functionals defined on some function spaces X1 and X2 respectively. Often the scale parameter t is fixed a pr...
