Second-order Cone Programming Methods for Total Variation-based Image Restoration

In this paper we present optimization algorithms for image restoration based on the total variation (TV) minimization framework of L. Rudin, S. Osher and E. Fatemi (ROF). Our approach formulates TV minimization as a second-order cone program which is then solved by interior-point algorithms that are efficient both in practice (using nested dissection and domain … Read more
