....the complexity of their algorithms is exponential in . The authors admit that their algorithms are computationally very expensive, even for signals of relatively short duration; this hampers potential applications of the method. Recently, a related nonlinear filtering technique has been proposed [9] that attempts to overcome the complexity of earlier algorithms by considering instead a soft constraint formulation in which non locally monotonic solutions are Manuscript received September 8, 1995; revised July 26, 1996.

....on some images and may be particularly useful for robust image segmentation, the model assuming piecewise constancy is unsuitable for noise removal from most natural scenes. A variety of other possible models, such as piecewise linear, locally monotone or locally convex has been suggested in [1, 2]. In this paper we argue that a large class of images can be successfully approximated by functions piecewise monotone, and that such a model can be enforced by nonlinear diffusion in the space of first partial derivatives of the image data. 1 The author gratefully acknowledges the support of ....

Recently, a related nonlinear filtering technique has been proposed [9], which attempts to overcome the complexity of earlier algorithms by considering instead a soft constraint formulation, in which non locally monotonic solutions are penalized, but not disqualified. This alternative approach is an interesting one, but it addresses a different problem. Locally ....

....models into these classes, the ability to select the proper model for a given image restoration problem is critical to the success of this paradigm. Previously, these models have been selected on a trial and error basis with only intuitive assumptions about the original image structure in mind [2]. Using cross validation, the uncertainty of selecting the model heuristically can be improved upon. A model is selected by finding the PIM or LIM that yields the lowest validation error. This method essentially allows the characteristic property assumption of each PIM or LIM to be tested on the ....
