Variational regularization models are one of the popular and efficient approaches for image restoration. The regularization functional in the model carries prior knowledge about the image to be restored. The prior knowledge, in particular…
Models including two $L^1$ -norm terms have been widely used in image restoration. In this paper we first propose the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to solve this class of models. Based on ADMM, we then propose the…

The curvature regularities are well-known for providing strong priors in the continuity of edges, which have been applied to a wide range of applications in image processing and computer vision. However, these models are usually non-convex,…

Regularization-based image restoration has remained an active research topic in computer vision and image processing. It often leverages a guidance signal captured in different fields as an additional cue. In this work, we present a general…

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…
Total variation (TV) regularization is a classical tool for image denoising, but its convex $\ell_1$ formulation often leads to staircase artifacts and loss of contrast. To address these issues, we introduce the Transformed $\ell_1$ (TL1)…
In this paper, we develop a dual alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for an image decomposition model. In this model, an image is divided into two meaningful components, i.e., a cartoon part and a texture part. The…
Total Variation (TV) and related extensions have been popular in image restoration due to their robust performance and wide applicability. While the original formulation is still relevant after two decades of extensive research, its…
We consider X-ray coherent scatter imaging, where the goal is to reconstruct momentum transfer profiles (spectral distributions) at each spatial location from multiplexed measurements of scatter. Each material is characterized by a unique…
We introduce a new non-smooth variational model for the restoration of manifold-valued data which includes second order differences in the regularization term. While such models were successfully applied for real-valued images, we introduce…
We develop a method for optimization in shape spaces, i.e., sets of surfaces modulo re-parametrization. Unlike previously proposed gradient flows, we achieve superlinear convergence rates through a subtle approximation of the shape Hessian,…
In the last decades, unsupervised deep learning based methods have caught researchers attention, since in many real applications, such as medical imaging, collecting a great amount of training examples is not always feasible. Moreover, the…
