Hybrid variational model based on alternating direction method for image restoration

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The total variation model is widely used in image deblurring and denoising process with the features of protecting the image edge. However, this model usually causes some staircase effects. To overcome the shortcoming, combining the second-order total variation regularization and the total variation regularization, we propose a hybrid total variation model. The new improved model not only eliminates the staircase effect, but also well protects the edges of the image. The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is employed to solve the proposed model. Numerical results show that our proposed model can get more details and higher image visual quality than some current state-of-the-art methods.
