This new model combines higher-order total variation regularisation with possibly inhomogeneous, smooth elliptic anisotropies. We prove some properties of this total variation model and of the associated spaces of tensors with finite variations. We show the existence of solutions to a related regularity-fidelity optimization problem and prove a decomposition formula which we will use to develop a primal-dual hybrid gradient approach for its numerical approximation. This choice of total variation regularisation allows to preserve and enhance intrinsic anisotropic features in images. We illustrate this on various examples from different imaging applications: image denoising, wavelet-based image zooming, and reconstruction of surfaces from scattered height measurements.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } In this talk we discuss a new higher-order and anisotropic total variation model for image processing.

Our approach incorporates the osmosis model proposed in Vogel et al. (2013) and Weickert et al. (2013) as an energy term in a variational model. The osmosis energy is known to realize visually plausible image data fusion, invariant to multiplicative brightness changes. On the practical side, our model requires minimal supervision and parameter tuning and can encode prior information on the structure of the images to be fused. We develop a primal-dual algorithm for solving this new image fusion model and we apply the resulting minimisation scheme to multi-modal image fusion for face fusion, colour transfer and some cultural heritage conservation challenges. Visual comparison to state-of-the-art proves the quality and flexibility of our method.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } We propose a new variational model for nonlinear image fusion.
