Mixed Gaussian-Impulse Noise Removal from Highly Corrupted Images via Adaptive Local and Nonlocal Statistical Priors

The motivation of this paper is to introduce a novel framework for the restoration of images corrupted by mixed Gaussian-impulse noise. To this aim, first, an adaptive curvelet thresholding criterion is proposed which tries to adaptively remove the perturbations appeared during denoising process. Then, a new statistical regularization term, called joint adaptive statistical prior (JASP), is established which enforces both the local and nonlocal statistical consistencies, simultaneously, in a unified manner. Furthermore, a novel technique for mixed Gaussian plus impulse noise removal using JASP in a variational scheme is developed—we refer to it as De-JASP. To efficiently solve the above variational scheme, an efficient alternating minimization algorithm is developed based on split Bregman iterative framework. Extensive experimental results manifest the effectiveness of the proposed method comparing with the current state-of-the-art methods in mixed Gaussian-impulse noise remova
