Abstract

In this paper, we study the L1/L2 minimization on the gradient for imaging applications. Several recent works have demonstrated that L1/L2 is better than the L1 norm when approximating the L0 norm to promote sparsity. Consequently, we postulate that applying L1/L2 on the gradient is better than the classic total variation (the L1 norm on the gradient) to enforce the sparsity of the image gradient. To verify our hypothesis, we consider a constrained formulation to reveal empirical evidence on the superiority of L1/L2 over L1 when recovering piecewise constant signals from low-frequency measurements. Numerically, we design a specific splitting scheme, under which we can prove the subsequential convergence for the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). Experimentally, we demonstrate visible improvements of L1/L2 over L1 and other nonconvex regularizations for image recovery from low-frequency measurements and two medical applications of MRI and CT reconstruction. All the numerical results show the efficiency of our proposed approach.
