Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose a model that combines a total variation filter with a fractional-order filter, which can unite the advantages of the two filters, and has a remarkable effect in the protection of image edges and texture details; simultaneously, the proposed model can eliminate the staircase effect. In addition, the model improves the PSNR compared with the total variation filter and the fractional-order filter when removing noise. Zhu and Chan presented the primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm and proved that it is effective for the total variation filter. On the basis of their work, we employ the primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm to solve the combined model in this article. The final experimental results show that the new model and algorithm are effective for image restoration.
