Better than the Total Variation Regularization

Abstract:
The total variation (TV) regularization is popular in iterative image reconstruction when the piecewise-constant nature of the image is encouraged. As a matter of fact, the TV regularization is not strong enough to enforce the piecewise-constant appearance. This paper suggests a different regularization function that is able to discourage some smooth transitions in the image and to encourage the piecewise-constant behavior. This new regularization function involves a Gaussian function. We use the limited-angle tomography problem to illustrate the effectiveness of this new regularization function. The limited-angle tomography situation considered in this paper uses a scanning angular range of . For two-dimensional parallel-beam imaging, the required angular range is supposed to be .

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.
