报告内容简介 :
Minimization of functionals related to Euler's elastica energy has a wide range of applications in computer vision and image processing. A high order nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) needs to be solved, and the gradient descent method usually takes high computational cost. In this paper, we propose a fast and efficient numerical algorithm to solve minimization problems related to Euler's elastica energy and show applications to variational image denoising, image inpainting, and image zooming. We reformulate the minimization problem as a constrained minimization problem, followed by an operator splitting method and relaxation. Fast numerical schemes were proposed for the proposed constrained minimization problem.
Numerical tests on real and synthetic cases are supplied to demonstrate the efficiency of our method.
The technique can be extended to a number of other applications related to curvature minimization. In the end, we shall also show the essential ideas to use these techniques for applications that have replace the "length" regularization" by "curvature" regularizations.
In the end, I will also talk about some of new developments related to graph cut, convex relaxation and continuous max-flow algorithms. These algorithms offer new fast and robust approaches for segmentation and classification problems for image processing and computer vision.
