Abstract

Speckle reduction is an important issue in image processing realm. In this paper, we propose a novel model for restoring degraded images with multiplicative noise which follows a Nakagami distribution. A general penalty term based on the statistical property of the speckle noise is used to guarantee the convexity of the denoising model. Moreover, to deal with the minimizing problem, a generalized Bermudez-Moreno algorithm is adopted and its convergence is analysed. The experimental results on some images subject to multiplicative noise as well as comparisons to other state-of-the-art methods are also presented. The results can verify that the new model is reasonable.
