Abstract:
This paper explores various aspects of the image decomposition
problem using modern variational techniques.
We aim at splitting an original image f into
two components u and v, where u holds the geometrical
information and v holds the textural information.
The focus of this paper is to study dierent energy
terms and functional spaces that suit various types of
textures.
Our modeling uses the total-variation energy for extracting
the structural part and one of four of the following
norms for the textural part: L2, G, L1 and a
new tunable norm, suggested here for the rst time,
based on Gabor functions.
Apart from the broad perspective and our suggestions
when each model should be used, the paper contains
three specic novelties: rst we show that the
correlation graph between u and v may serve as an ef-
cient tool to select the splitting parameter, second we
propose a new fast algorithm to solve the TV -L1 minimization
problem, and third we introduce the theory
and design tools for the TV -Gabor model.
