This study introduces a new nonconvex regularization model for image restoration, significantly improving edge preservation in salt and pepper noise removal. The proposed method enhances image quality and detail compared to traditional techniques.
Area of Science:
- Image processing
- Computer vision
- Applied mathematics
Background:
- Traditional total variation (TV) regularization struggles with edge preservation in salt and pepper noise removal.
- Existing methods often compromise image details during noise reduction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel nonconvex regularization model for enhanced image restoration.
- To improve edge and contour preservation during salt and pepper noise removal.
Main Methods:
- Proposed a nonconvex [Formula: see text]-norm regularizer in the total variation domain.
- Utilized [Formula: see text] fidelity for noise measurement.
- Employed an alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) with majorization-minimization (MM) and proximity operators for solving the model.
Main Results:
- The proposed model effectively removes salt and pepper noise while preserving image edges and contours.
- Achieved superior performance over state-of-the-art variational regularization models.
- Demonstrated approximately 0.5 dB PSNR and 0.06 MSSIM improvements.
Conclusions:
- The nonconvex [Formula: see text] regularization model offers superior edge-preserving capabilities for image restoration.
- The developed ADMM-based algorithm provides an effective and convergent solution.
- This approach represents a significant advancement in noise reduction and image detail preservation.
