Image denoising based on a new anisotropic mean curvature model
Yuan Wang, Zhi‐Feng Pang · Inverse Problems and Imaging · 2023
A number of variational models for image denoising have been proposed in the last few years in order to advance the denoising performance. To improve the denoising quality, it is very significant to describe the local structure of image in the proposed models. To this end, this paper proposes a novel denoising model which combines the gradient operator $ abla $ with the adaptive weighted matrix $ W $ in the mean curvature regularized term such that the proposed model can describe the local features in image efficiently. Since the proposed model is a high-order nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problem, we need to use the operator splitting method to tansform it into a multi-variable optimization problem and then the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) can be applied to solve it. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed model yields good performance compared with other well-known gradient-based models.
