It is a challenging task to reconstruct images from their noisy, blurry, and/or incomplete measurements, especially those with important details and features such as medical magnetic resonance (MR) and CT images. We propose a novel regularization model that integrates two recently developed regularization tools: total generalized variation (TGV) by Bredies, Kunisch, and Pock; and shearlet transform by Labate, Lim, Kutyniok, and Weiss. The proposed model recovers both edges and fine details of…

This paper applies mathematical analysis to a specific formalization of SCA using synthetic image models, hoping to gain insight into what might emerge from a higher-resolution SCA based on n by n image patches for large n but a constant field of view.
