Variational methods have proven to be powerful techniques for solving many image processing tasks. Balancing theory with practical approaches, this book covers a wide range of variational methods and their applications. The first part of the text focuses on image restoration, covering such topics as regularization, minimization, and nonlocal and higher-order variational methods. The second part addresses image segmentation, including the Mumford and Shah segmentation problem. The final section discusses varational image processing on manifolds. An accompanying CD-ROM includes MATLAB(R) code and color figures.

Reviews for Variational Methods in Image Processing

This book is a must-have for students and researchers working in mathematical image analysis, in particular on segmentation problems. It covers in a pedagogical way the mathematical foundations, classical convex and non-convex segmentation methods, as well as more advanced subjects such as non-local regularizations. This book also features a lot of graphical illustrations and pseudo-codes of algorithms. It showcases several concrete applications to medical imaging, and the availability of the corresponding MATLAB code is a great feature. -Gabriel Peyre, CNRS Senior Researcher, Universite Paris-Dauphine
