A Fast Augmented Lagrangian Method for Euler's Elastica Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a fast algorithm for Euler’s elastica functional is proposed, in which the Euler’s elastica functional is reformulated as a constrained minimization problem. Combining the augmented Lagrangian method and operator splitting techniques, the resulting saddle-point problem is solved by a serial of subproblems. To tackle the nonlinear constraints arising in the model, a novel fixed-point-based approach is proposed so that all the subproblems either is a linear problem or has a closed-form solution. We show the good performance of our approach in terms of speed and reliability using numerous numerical examples on synthetic, real-world and medical images for image denoising, image inpainting and image zooming problems.

Image Segmentation Using Euler's Elastica as the Regularization
The active contour segmentation model of Chan and Vese has been widely used and generalized in different contexts in the literature. One possible modification is to employ Euler’s elastica as the regularization of active contour. In this paper, we study the new effects of this modification and validate them numerically using the augmented Lagrangian method.
متن کاملFast Linearized Augmented Lagrangian Method for Euler’s Elastica Model
Recently, many variational models involving high order derivatives have been widely used in image processing, because they can reduce staircase effects during noise elimination. However, it is very challenging to construct efficient algorithms to obtain the minimizers of original high order functionals. In this paper, we propose a new linearized augmented Lagrangian method for Euler’s elastica ...

متن کاملAugmented Lagrangian method for solving absolute value equation and its application in two-point boundary value problems
One of the most important topic that consider in recent years by researcher is absolute value equation (AVE). The absolute value equation seems to be a useful tool in optimization since it subsumes the linear complementarity problem and thus also linear programming and convex quadratic programming. This paper introduce a new method for solving absolute value equation. To do this, we transform a...
متن کاملSolving Environmental/Economic Power Dispatch Problem by a Trust Region Based Augmented Lagrangian Method
This paper proposes a Trust-Region Based Augmented Method (TRALM) to solve a combined Environmental and Economic Power Dispatch (EEPD) problem. The EEPD problem is a multi-objective problem with competing and non-commensurable objectives. The TRALM produces a set of non-dominated Pareto optimal solutions for the problem. Fuzzy set theory is employed to extract a compromise non-dominated sol...
