Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new projection method for solving a general minimization problems with two L1-regularization terms for image denoising. It is related to the split Bregman method, but it avoids solving PDEs in the iteration. We employ the fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm (FISTA) to speed up the proposed method to a convergence rate O(k−2). We also show the convergence of the algorithms. Finally, we apply the methods to the anisotropic Lysaker, Lundervold and Tai (LLT) model and demonstrate their efficiency.
