Fast preconditioned iterative methods for finite volume discretization of steady-state space-fractional diffusion equations

TL;DR: A scaled-circulant preconditioner is proposed to use to deal with Toeplitz-like discretization matrices of steady-state variable-coefficient conservative space-fractional diffusion equations and it is demonstrated that the preconditionsed Krylov subspace method converges very quickly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retinex image enhancement via a learned dictionary

TL;DR: The main aim of this paper is to study image enhancement by using sparse and redundant representations of the reflectance component in the Retinex model over a learned dictionary to provide better visual quality of the enhanced high-contrast images than the other variational methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variational fuzzy Mumford–Shah model for image segmentation

TL;DR: A variational fuzzy Mumford–Shah model for image segmentation based on the assumption that an image can be approximated by the product of a smooth function and a piecewise constant function is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Variational Method for Multiple-Image Blending

TL;DR: An algorithm for blending of multiple images in the image-stitching process containing an energy functional to determine both a stitched image and weighting mask functions of multiple input images for image blending is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Best Circulant Preconditioners for Hermitian Toeplitz Systems

TL;DR: A new family of circulant preconditioners for ill-conditioned Hermitian Toeplitz systems A x= b is proposed, constructed by convolving the generating function f of A with the generalized Jackson kernels and it is shown that the convergence is superlinear.
