Abstract
In this paper, we provide a new model for simultaneous denoising and illumination correction. A variational framework based on local maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and a nonlocal regularization is proposed and studied. The proposed minimization problem can be efficiently solved by the augmented Lagrangian method coupled with a maximum expectation step. Experimental results show that our model can provide more homogeneous denoisng results compared to some earlier variational method. In addition, the new method also produces good results under both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise such as Gaussian mixture, impulse noise and their mixtures.
