Split Bregman methods introduced in [T. Goldstein and S. Osher, SIAM J. Imaging Sci., 2 (2009), pp. 323–343] have been demonstrated to be efficient tools for solving total variation norm minimization problems, which arise from partial differential equation based image restoration such as denoising magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction sparse samples. In this paper, we prove the convergence of split iterations, where number inner iterations is fixed one. Furthermore, show that these can...

The variational techniques (e.g. the total variation based method) are well established and effective for image restoration, as many other applications, while wavelet frame approach is relatively new came from a different school. This paper designed to establish connection between these two major approaches restoration. main result of this shows that when spline frames used, special model method, called analysis approach, can be viewed discrete approximation at given resolution methods.

Finding a solution of linear equation $Au=f$ with various minimization properties arises from many applications. One such application is compressed sensing, where an efficient and robust-to-noise algorithm to find minimal $\ell _1$ norm needed. This means that the should be tailored for large scale completely dense matrices $A$, while $Au$ $A^Tu$ can computed by fast transforms we seek sparse. Recently, simple based on linearized Bregman iteration was proposed in [28, 32] this purpose. paper...

Restoring a clear image from single motion-blurred due to camera shake has long been challenging problem in digital imaging. Existing blind deblurring techniques either only remove simple motion blurring, or need user interactions work on more complex cases. In this paper, we present an approach blurring by formulating the as new joint optimization problem, which simultaneously maximizes sparsity of blur kernel and under certain suitable redundant tight frame systems (curvelet system for...

Sparsity-based regularization methods for image restoration assume that the underlying has a good sparse approximation under certain system. Such system can be basis, frame, or general over-complete dictionary. One widely used class of such systems in are wavelet tight frames. There have been enduring efforts on seeking frames which functions images approximation. However, structure varies greatly practice and working well one type may not work another. This paper presents method derives...

Compressed sensing (CS) has exhibited great potential for accelerating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In CS-MRI, we want to reconstruct a high-quality image from very few samples in short time. this paper, propose fast algorithm, called projected iterative soft-thresholding algorithm (pISTA), and its acceleration pFISTA CS-MRI reconstruction. The proposed algorithms exploit sparsity of the (MR) images under redundant representation tight frames. We prove that pISTA converge minimizer...

Real images usually have sparse approximations under some tight frame systems derived from framelets, an oversampled discrete (window) cosine, or a Fourier transform. In this paper, we propose method for image deblurring in domains. It is reduced to finding solution of system linear equations whose coefficient matrix rectangular.

Signals are generally modeled as a superposition of exponential functions in spectroscopy chemistry, biology and medical imaging. For fast data acquisition or other inevitable reasons, however, only small amount samples may be acquired thus how to recover the full signal becomes an active research topic. But existing approaches can not efficiently $N$-dimensional signals with $N\geq 3$. In this paper, we study problem recovering N-dimensional (particularly 3$) from partial observations,...

Real images usually have two layers, namely, cartoons (the piecewise smooth part of the image) and textures oscillating pattern image). Both these layers sparse approximations under some tight frame systems such as framelet, translation invariant wavelet, curvelet, local DCTs. In this paper, we solve image inpainting problems by using separate which can sparsely represent respectively. Different from existing schemes in literature are either analysis-based or synthesis-based sparsity priors,...

In recent years, how to learn a dictionary from input images for sparse modelling has been one very active topic in image processing and recognition. Most existing learning methods consider an over-complete dictionary, e.g. the K-SVD method. Often they require solving some minimization problem that is challenging terms of computational feasibility efficiency. However, if correlations among atoms are not well constrained, redundancy does necessarily improve performance coding. This paper...
