Total variation (TV) denoising is a nonparametric smoothing method that has good properties for preserving sharp edges and contours in objects with spatial structures like natural images. The estimate is sparse in the sense that TV…

We consider the problem of estimating a function defined over $n$ locations on a $d$-dimensional grid (having all side lengths equal to $n^{1/d}$). When the function is constrained to have discrete total variation bounded by $C_n$, we…
Inverse imaging problems are inherently under-determined, and hence it is important to employ appropriate image priors for regularization. One recent popular prior---the graph Laplacian regularizer---assumes that the target pixel patch is…
