Multidimensional TV-Stokes for image processing

Abstract

A complete multidimential TV-Stokes model is proposed based on smoothing a gradient field in the first step and reconstruction of the multidimensional image from the gradient field. It is the correct extension of the original two dimensional TV-Stokes to multidimensions. Numerical algorithm using the Chambolle's semi-implicit dual formula is proposed. Numerical results applied to denoising 3D images and movies are presented. They show excellent performance in avoiding the staircase effect, and preserving fine structures.
