Mapping-Based Image Diffusion

The paper introduces a tensor‑based functional for targeted image enhancement and denoising, incorporating application‑dependent and contextual information through explicit regularization. It establishes existence of a minimizer and discusses tensor symmetry constraints, convexity, and geometric interpretation. The framework demonstrates strong performance in nonlinear scenarios like gamma correction and targeted value‑range filtering, achieving results comparable to state‑of‑the‑art PDE‑based methods.

Learning spatially varying regularisation parameters of low regularity for image reconstruction

The article reviews how spatially adaptive regularisation weight functions can be incorporated into variational image reconstruction models like Total Variation and Total Generalised Variation. It discusses the regularity properties of these weights—constant, continuous, or piecewise constant—and how they influence edge and detail preservation. The authors highlight recent hybrid methods that learn low‑regularity weights via deep neural networks, demonstrating their effectiveness in image denoising and MRI reconstruction.
