A unified framework for the restoration of images corrupted by additive white noise

Abstract

We propose a robust variational model for the restoration of images corrupted by blur and the general class of additive white noises. The solution of the non-trivial optimization problem, due to the non-smooth non-convex proposed model, is efficiently obtained by an Alternating Directions Method of Multipliers (ADMM), which in particular reduces the solution to a sequence of convex optimization sub-problems. Numerical results show the potentiality of the proposed model for restoring blurred images corrupted by several kinds of additive white noises.
