Markov random field models provide a robust and unified framework for early vision problems such as stereo, optical flow and image restoration. Inference algorithms based on graph cuts and belief propagation yield accurate results, but despite recent advances are often still too slow for practical

many previous constructions and is easily applicable to vision problems that involve large numbers of labels, such as stereo, motion, image restoration, and scene reconstruction. We give a precise characterization of what energy functions can be minimized using graph cuts, among the energy functions

that ordinary optimization methods for smooth problems, like the conjugate gradient method, have difficulties in convergence. Hence, another aim of this paper is to compare different numerical methods for solving the image restoration problems. Two methods of nonsmooth optimization are applied: a (first order

Many problems in image restoration cam be formulated as either an unconstrained nonlinear optimization problem: min u R(u) + 2 kKu \Gamma zk 2 which is the Tikhonov [1] approach, where the regularization parameter is to be determined; or as a noise constrained problem: min u R

The restoration problem deals with images in which information has been destroyed or obscured. In this paper, we present a framework for addressing image restoration problems in which the goal is to recover information about the image. Restoration algorithms often use tentative assumptions

for two-dimensional inverse problems based on a Kronecker-product formulation. We illustrate its use in connection with deblurring of digital images with sharp edges, and we discuss its relations to total variation regularization. 1 Introduction In this work we focus on discretizations of linear

Abstract. The past few years have seen a flurry of new approaches for planning under uncertainty, but their applicability to real-world problems is yet to be established since they have been tested only on toy benchmark problems. To fill this gap, the challenge of solving power supply restoration

This work is motivated by the observation that it is not possible to reliably estimate simultaneously all the necessary hyperparameters in an image restoration problem when the point-spread function is assumed to be the sum of a known deterministic and an unknown random component. To solve
