Gauss-Map Variation for Image Denoising: Geometric Analysis and an Anderson--Accelerated Majorization--Minimization Method
We propose a Gauss-map variation (GMV) model for image denoising that measures the spatial variation of the tangent-plane projectors of the scaled image graph. We establish an equivalent representation of the regularizer in terms of the corresponding Gauss map and, using differential geometric tools including tubular c...
