A Bayesian adaptive weighted total generalized variation model for image restoration
In recent years, the Total Generalized Variation (TGV) model has received lots of attention in image processing community. Though this model can restore image with natural intensity transitions, its spatial identical parameter setting limits its performance. In this paper, we propose a novel Adaptive Weighted Total Generalized Variation model for image restoration. We analyze the TGV model from Bayesian Probability view and derive a novel adaptive parameter calculation scheme for it, exploiting the image's self-similarity. Experiment results on image deblurring and reconstruction show that by adapting the parameters in TGV model to image contents, the proposed model can restore image's edges and details well and achieve significant improvement over state of the art variational based models.
