    We investigate the application of the nonmonotone spectral projected gradient (SPG) method to a region-based variational model for image segmentation. We consider a “discretize-then-optimize” approach and solve the resulting nonlinear optimization problem by an alternating minimization procedure that exploits the SPG2 algorithm by Birgin, Martì­nez and Raydan (SIAM J. Optim., 10(4), 2000). We provide a … Read more
