This paper deals with edge-preserving regularization for inverse problems in image processing. We first present a synthesis of the main results we have obtained in edge-preserving regularization by using a variational approach. We recall the model involving regularizing functions phi and we analyze the geometry-driven diffusion process of this model in the three-dimensional (3-D) case. Then a half-quadratic theorem is used to give a very simple reconstruction algorithm. After a critical analysis of this model, we propose another functional to minimize for edge-preserving reconstruction purposes. It results in solving two coupled partial differential equations (PDEs): one processes the intensity, the other the edges. We study the relationship with similar PDE systems in particular with the functional proposed by Ambrosio-Tortorelli in order to approach the Mumford-Shah functional developed in the segmentation application. Experimental results on synthetic and real images are presented.

The domain shift, or acquisition shift in medical imaging, is responsible for potentially harmful differences between development and deployment conditions of medical image analysis techniques. There is a growing need in the community for advanced methods that could mitigate this issue better than conventional approaches. In this paper, we consider configurations in which we can expose a learning-based pixel level adaptor to a large variability of unlabeled images during its training, i.

Purpose: The recently proposed sparsifying transform (ST) models incur low computational cost and have been applied to medical imaging. Meanwhile, deep models with nested network structure reveal great potential for learning features in different layers. In this study, we propose a network-structured ST learning approach for X-ray computed tomography (CT), which we refer to as multi-layer clustering-based residual sparsifying transform (MCST) learning.

We present an adaptive method for fine-tuning hyperparameters in edge-preserving regularization for PET image reconstruction. For edge-preserving regularization, in addition to the smoothing parameter that balances data fidelity and regularization, one or more control parameters are typically incorporated to adjust the sensitivity of edge preservation by modifying the shape of the penalty function. Although there have been efforts to develop automated methods for tuning the hyperparameters in regularized PET reconstruction, the majority of these methods primarily focus on the smoothing parameter.
