An alternating direction method for total variation denoising

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider the image denoising problem using total variation (TV) regularization. This problem can be computationally challenging to solve due to the non-differentiability and non-linearity of the regularization term. We propose an alternating direction augmented Lagrangian (ADAL) method, based on a new variable splitting approach that results in subproblems that can be solved efficiently and exactly. The global convergence of the new algorithm is established for the anisotropic TV model. For the isotropic TV model, by doing further variable splitting, we are able to derive an ADAL method that is globally convergent. We compare our methods with the split Bregman method cite{goldstein2009split},which is closely related to it, and demonstrate their competitiveness in computational performance on a set of standard test images.
