Some Variations on Total Variation-based Image Smoothing

چکیده
In this paper we study finite-difference approximations to the variational problem using the BV smoothness penalty that was introduced in an image smoothing context by Rudin, Osher, and Fatemi. We give a dual formulation for an “upwind” finite-difference approximation for the BV seminorm; this formulation is in the same spirit as one popularized by Chambolle for a simpler, more anisotropic, finite-difference approximation to the BV seminorm. We introduce a multiscale method for speeding the approximation of both Chambolle’s original method and of the new formulation of the upwind scheme. We demonstrate numerically that the multiscale method is effective, and we provide numerical examples that illustrate both the qualitative and quantitative behavior of the solutions of the numerical formulations.

A wavelet frame coefficient total variational model for image restoration
In this paper, we propose a vector total variation (VTV) of feature image model for image restoration. The VTV imposes different smoothing powers on different features (e.g. edges and cartoons) based on choosing various regularization parameters. Thus, the model can simultaneously preserve edges and remove noises. Next, the existence of solution for the model is proved and the split Bregman alg...
متن کاملMultiscale variational approach to simultaneous image regularization and segmentation
The problem of finding a piecewise smooth approximation of an original image while preserving edges is closely related to the image segmentation problem. Indeed, if we know the cartoon version of the original image, it is easier to perform an image partition into homogeneous regions. From this point of view, we propose to simultaneously perform regularization and segmentation. By working in the...
متن کاملAn Improvement of Steerable Pyramid Denoising Method
The use of wavelets in denoising, seems to be an advantage in representing well the details. However, the edges are not so well preserved. Total variation technique has advantages over simple denoising techniques such as linear smoothing or median filtering, which reduce noise, but at the same time smooth away edges to a greater or lesser degree. In this paper, an efficient denoising method bas...

متن کاملThe structure of optimal parameters for image restoration problems
We study the qualitative properties of optimal regularisation parameters in variational models for image restoration. The parameters are solutions of bilevel optimisation problems with the image restoration problem as constraint. A general type of regulariser is considered, which encompasses total variation (TV), total generalized variation (TGV) and infimal-convolution total variation (ICTV). ...
