Adopting discrepancy principle as iteration stopping criterion, Bregman iterative algorithm for image total variation (TV) regularization restoration model has attracted vast interests in the recent years. To a certain degree, Bregman iterative algorithm overcomes the shortcomings of TV regularization model: prone to reduce image contrast and prone to excessively smooth texture. However, some texture and contrast of image to be restored still exist in ultimate residual image. Based on analysis of non local means (NLM) algorithm which is guided by a reference image, this article presents an improved algorithm, which extracts some texture and contrast from the residual image and then compensates them to the restored image of Bregman iterative algorithm. This improved algorithm can overcome the shortcomings of TV regularization model further. Numerical experiments show that the improved algorithm based on texture and contrast compensation can increase the quality of restored image.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
