Title
Image Sharpening by Flows Based on Triple Well Potentials
Abstract
Image sharpening in the presence of noise is formulated as a non-convex variational problem. The energy functional incorporates a gradient-dependent potential, a convex fidelity criterion and a high order convex regularizing term. The first term attains local minima at zero and some high gradient magnitude, thus forming a triple well-shaped potential (in the one-dimensional case). The energy minimization flow results in sharpening of the dominant edges, while most noisy fluctuations are filtered out.
