Image deconvolution using a Gaussian Scale Mixtures model to approximate the wavelet sparseness constraint
Yingsong Zhang, Nick Kingsbury · 2009
This paper proposes to use an extended Gaussian Scale Mixtures (GSM) model instead of the conventional l1norm to approximate the sparseness constraint in the wavelet domain. We combine this new constraint with subband-dependent minimization to formulate an iterative algorithm on two shift-invariant wavelet transforms, the Shannon wavelet transform and dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT). This extented GSM model introduces spatially varying information into the deconvolution process and thus enables the algorithm to achieve better results with fewer iterations in our experiments.
