Nonlocal image representation has been successfully used in many image-related inverse problems including denoising, deblurring and deblocking. However, due to a majority of reconstruction methods only exploit the nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) prior of the degraded observation image, it is very challenging to reconstruct the latent clean image directly from the noisy observation. In this paper we propose a novel model for image denoising via group sparsity residual and external NSS prior. To…
