Recently, the distribution-dependent Mumford-Shah model for hyperspectral image segmentation was introduced. It approximates an image based on first and second order statistics using a data term, that is built of a Mahalanobis distance plus…
Let $f\in L^1(\R^d)$ be real. The Rudin-Osher-Fatemi model is to minimize $\|u\|_{\dot{BV}}+\lambda\|f-u\|_{L^2}^2$, in which one thinks of $f$ as a given image, $\lambda > 0$ as a "tuning parameter", $u$ as an optimal "cartoon"…
