ETNA - Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis

Bild

Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic journal for the publication of significant new developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Papers of the highest quality that deal with the analysis of algorithms for the solution of continuous models and numerical linear algebra are appropriate for ETNA, as are papers of similar quality that discuss implementation and performance of such algorithms. New algorithms for current or new computer architectures are appropriate provided that they are numerically sound. However, the focus of the publication should be on the algorithm rather than on the architecture. The journal is published by the Kent State University Library in conjunction with the Institute of Computational Mathematics at Kent State University, and in cooperation with the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (RICAM). Reviews of all ETNA papers appear in Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt für Mathematik. Reference information for ETNA papers also appears in the expanded Science Citation Index. ETNA is registered with the Library of Congress and has ISSN 1068-9613.

Abstract

In this paper, we denoise a given noisy image by minimizing a smoothness-promoting function over a set of local similarity measures which compare the mean of the given image and some candidate image on a large collection of subboxes. The associated convex optimization problem possesses a huge number of constraints which are induced by extended real-valued functions stemming from the Kullback–Leibler divergence. Alternatively, these nonlinear constraints can be reformulated as affine ones, which makes the model seemingly more tractable. For the numerical treatment of both formulations of the model (i.e., the original one as well as the one with affine constraints), we propose a rather general augmented Lagrangian method which is capable of handling the huge amount of constraints. A self-contained, derivative-free, global convergence theory is provided, allowing an extension to other problem classes. For the solution of the resulting subproblems in the setting of our suggested image denoising models, we make use of a suitable stochastic gradient method. Results of several numerical experiments are presented in order to compare both formulations and the associated augmented Lagrangian methods.

Keywords: augmented Lagrangian method, nonsmooth optimization, Poisson denoising
