Introduction: A common problem in image restoration is image denoising. Among many noise models, the mixed Poisson-Gaussian model has recently aroused considerable interest. Purpose: Development of a model for denoising images corrupted by mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise, along with an algorithm for solving the resulting minimization problem. Results: We proposed a new total variation model for restoring an image with mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise, based on second-order total generalized variation. In order to solve this problem, an efficient alternating minimization algorithm is used. To illustrate its comparison with related methods, experimental results are presented, demonstrating the high efficiency of the proposed approach. Practical relevance: The proposed model allows you to remove mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise in digital images, preserving the edges. The presented numerical results demonstrate the competitive features of the proposed model.

Abstract Total generalized variation models have recently demonstrated high-quality denoising capacity for single image. In this paper, we present an accurate denoising method for depth map. Our method uses a weighted second-order total generalized variational model for Gaussian noise removal. By fusing an edge indicator function into the regularization term of the second-order total generalized variational model to guide the diffusion of gradients, our method aims to use the first or second derivative to enhance the intensity of the diffusion tensor. We use the first-order primal–dual algorithm to minimize the proposed energy function and achieve high-quality denoising and edge preserving result for depth maps with high -intensity noise. Extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations in comparison to bench-mark datasets show that the proposed method provides significant higher accuracy and visual improvements than many state-of-the-art denoising algorithms.

Electrical properties provide essential information for cancer detection and specific absorption rate (SAR) estimation. Magnetic resonance electrical properties tomography (MREPT) is an approach to retrieve the distribution of electrical properties. The conventional method suffers from the locally homogeneous assumption and amplification of noise. In this study, a novel approach was introduced to improve the accuracy and the noise robustness of conductivity imaging. The proposed approach reformulated the central equation of the gradient-based method to avoid the calculation of the Laplacian operator. The equation was regularized using the second-order total generalized variation, which formulates an objective function. The optimization problem was solved by the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) method. The proposed method was validated by the simulation data of the cylindrical phantom and Ella head model, and the performance was compared with existing methods. The results demonstrated that the proposed method reconstructed an accurate conductivity image and alleviated the noise effects. Furthermore, phantom and healthy volunteer experiments were implemented at a 3 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. The results suggested that the developed method can provide solutions for improved conductivity reconstruction and show potential for clinical application.
