Adaptive Image Reconstruction Using Information Measures

From MaRDI portal





The authors, motivated by problems in image processing, study the ill-posed problem of recovering a function \(u\) from the knowledge of the vector \(Au+B\nabla u\), where \[ A_iu:=\int_\Omega a_i u dx,\qquad B_iw:=\int_\Omega\langle b_i,w\rangle,\qquad i=1,\ldots,m. \] Given a regularizing functional of the form \[ I(u):=\int_\Omega h(u,\nabla u) dx, \] they study the following two questions: 1) The tolerance problem, i.e., the minimization of \(I\) subject to the constraints \[ \int_\Omega u dx=1,\qquad |Au+B\nabla u-c|<\varepsilon \] with the parameters \(c\), \(\varepsilon\) given; 2) The penalization problem, i.e., the minimization of \[ I(u)+\alpha|Au+B\nabla u -c|^2 \] subject to the constraint \(\int_\Omega u dx=1\). A typical choice of \(h\), in view of the applications, is \[ h(u,\xi):=\begin{cases} u\phi(\xi/u) & \text{if }u>0;\\ \phi^{\infty}(\xi) & \text{if }u=0;\\ +\infty &\text{otherwise}\end{cases} \] where \(\phi^\infty\) is the recession function of \(\phi\). In anisotropic models, one has also \(\phi(\xi)=\psi(|\xi|)\) with \(\psi\) convex. The condition \(\psi'(t)>>t\psi(t)\) leads (approximately) to the anisotropic smoothing which is considered by now a natural requirement in image analysis. The paper is mainly concerned with the existence theory for problems (1) and (2). The methods rely on duality theory rather than on compactness and lower semicontinuity of the energy functionals involved.
