Image Decomposition and Restoration Using Total Variation Minimization and the<i>H</i>¹

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new model for image restoration and image decomposition into cartoon and texture, based on the total variation minimization of Rudin, Osher, and Fatemi [Phys. D, 60 (1992), pp. 259--268], and on oscillatory functions, which follows results of Meyer [Oscillating Patterns in Image Processing and Nonlinear Evolution Equations, Univ. Lecture Ser. 22, AMS, Providence, RI, 2002]. This paper also continues the ideas introduced by the authors in a previous work on image decomposition models into cartoon and texture [L. Vese and S. Osher, J. Sci. Comput., to appear]. Indeed, by an alternative formulation, an initial image f is decomposed here into a cartoon part u and a texture or noise part v. The u component is modeled by a function of bounded variation, while the v component is modeled by an oscillatory function, bounded in the norm dual to $|\cdot|_{H^1_0}$. After some transformation, the resulting PDE is of fourth order, envolving the Laplacian of the curvature of level lines. Finally, image decomposition, denoising, and deblurring numerical results are shown.
