The ill-posed inverse problem is transformed into a nonlinear minimization system by an appropriately selected version of Tikhonov regularization. The existence of the minimizers to the minimization system is demonstrated. We shall propose a new variational source condition, which will be rigorously verified under a Hölder type stability estimate. We will also derive the reasonable convergence rates under the new variational source condition.","PeriodicalId":50274,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems and Imaging","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77699656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these methods are mainly limited to Gaussian noise removal. In this paper, the Poisson noise removal problem is considered. Unlike Gaussian noise which has an identical and independent distribution, Poisson noise is signal dependent, which makes the problem more challenging. By incorporating the prior that a group of similar patches should possess a low-rank structure, and applying the maximum a posterior (MAP) estimation, the Poisson noise removal problem is formulated as an optimization one. Then, an alternating minimization algorithm is developed to find the minimizer of the objective function efficiently. Convergence of the minimizing sequence will be established, and the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm will be demonstrated by numerical experiments.","PeriodicalId":50274,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems and Imaging","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91047154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
