A TV based restoration model with local constraints.(English)Zbl 1218.94007

Summary: We propose in this paper a total variation based restoration model which incorporates the image acquisition model $$z = h * U + n$$ (where $$z$$ represents the observed sampled image, $$U$$ is the ideal undistorted image, $$h$$ denotes the blurring kernel and $$n$$ is a white Gaussian noise) as a set of local constraints. These constraints, one for each pixel of the image, express the fact that the variance of the noise can be estimated from the residuals $$z - h * U$$ if we use a neighborhood of each pixel. This is motivated by the fact that the usual inclusion of the image acquisition model as a single constraint expressing a bound for the variance of the noise does not give satisfactory results if we wish to simultaneously recover textured regions and obtain a good denoising of the image. We use Uzawa’s algorithm to minimize the total variation subject to the proposed family of local constraints and we display some experiments using this model.
