Image Compressed Sensing Reconstruction Based on Structural Group Total Variation

To solve the problem that the traditional Compressed Sensing (CS) algorithm based on Total Variation (TV) model can not effectively restore details and texture of image, which leads to over-smoothing of reconstructed image, an image Compressed Sensing (CS) reconstruction algorithm based on Structural Group TV (SGTV) model is proposed. The proposed algorithm utilizes the non-local self-similarity and structural sparsity of image, and converts the CS recovery problem into the total variation minimization problem of the structural group constructed by non-local self-similar image blocks. In addition, the optimization model of the proposed algorithm is built with regularization constraint of the structural group total variation model, and it uses the split Bregman iterative algorithm to separate it into multiple sub-problems, and then solves them respectively. The proposed algorithm makes full use of the information and structural sparsity of image to protects the image details and texture. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significant performance improvements over the state-of-the-art total variation based algorithm in both PSNR and visual perception.
