Abstract: In many sparsity-based image processing problems, compared with the convex ℓ1 norm approximation of the nonconvex ℓ0 quasi-norm, one can often preserve the structures better by taking full advantage of the nonconvex ℓp quasi-norm (0≤p<1). In this paper, we propose a nonconvex ℓp quasi-norm approximation in the total generalized variation (TGV)-shearlet regularization for image reconstruction. By introducing some auxiliary variables, the nonconvex nonsmooth objective function can be solved by an efficient alternating direction method of multipliers with convergence analysis. Especially, we use a generalized iterated shrinkage operator to deal with the ℓp quasi-norm subproblem, which is easy to implement. Extensive experimental results show clearly that the proposed nonconvex sparsity approximation outperforms some state-of-the-art algorithms in both the visual and quantitative measures for different sampling ratios and noise levels.
