Weighted Anisotropic-Isotropic Total Variation for Poisson Denoising
Poisson noise commonly occurs in images captured by photon-limited imaging systems such as in astronomy and medicine. As the distribution of Poisson noise depends on the pixel intensity value, noise levels vary from pixels to pixels. Hence, denoising a Poisson-corrupted image while preserving important details can be challenging. In this paper, we propose a Poisson denoising model by incorporating the weighted anisotropic-isotropic total variation (AITV) as a regularization. We then develop an alternating direction method of multipliers with a combination of a proximal operator for an efficient implementation. Lastly, numerical experiments demonstrate that our algorithm outperforms other Poisson denoising methods in terms of image quality and computational efficiency.

Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers for Negative Binomial Model with The Weighted Difference of Anisotropic and Isotropic Total Variation
In many applications such as medical imaging, the measurement data represent counts of photons hitting a detector. Such counts in low-photon settings are often modeled using a Poisson distribution. However, this model as…
Difference of Anisotropic and Isotropic TV for Segmentation under Blur and Poisson Noise
In this paper, we aim to segment an image degraded by blur and Poisson noise. We adopt a smoothing-and-thresholding (SaT) segmentation framework that finds a piecewise-smooth solution, followed by $k$-means clustering to…

This paper addresses streak reduction in limited angle tomography. Although the iterative reweighted total variation (wTV) algorithm reduces small streaks well, it is rather inept at eliminating large ones since total va…
