Abstract

In this paper we address the image restoration problem in the variational framework. The focus is set on denoising applications. Natural image statistics are consistent with a Markov random field (MRF) model for the image structure. Thus in a restoration process attention must be paid to the spatial correlation between adjacent pixels.The proposed approach minimizes the conditional entropy of a pixel knowing its neighborhood. The estimation procedure of statistical properties of the image is carried out in a new adaptive weighted k-th nearest neighbor (AWkNN) framework. Experimental results show the interest of such an approach. Restoration quality is evaluated by means of the RMSE measure and the SSIM index, more adapted to the human visual system.
