Total Variation regularization (TV) is a seminal approach for image recovery. TV involves the norm of the image's gradient, aggregated over all pixel locations. Therefore, TV leads to piece-wise constant solutions, resulting in what is…

Image restoration requires a careful balance between noise suppression and structure preservation. While first-order total variation (TV) regularization effectively preserves edges, it often introduces staircase artifacts, whereas…
The $\ell^1$ and total variation (TV) penalties have been used successfully in many areas, and the combination of the $\ell^1$ and TV penalties can lead to further improved performance. In this work, we investigate the mathematical theory…

1D Total Variation (TV) denoising, considering the data fidelity and the Total Variation (TV) regularization, proposes a good restored signal preserving shape edges. The main issue is how to choose the weight $\lambda$ balancing those two…
We are interested in the restoration of noisy and blurry images where the texture mainly follows a single direction (i.e., directional images). Problems of this type arise, for example, in microscopy or computed tomography for carbon or…
