A primal-dual adaptive finite element method for total variation minimization

Alkämper, Martin ; Hilb, Stephan and Langer, Andreas LU orcid (2025) In Advances in Computational Mathematics 51.
Abstract
Based on previous work, we extend a primal-dual semi-smooth Newton method for minimizing a general L^1-L^2-TV functional over the space of functions of bounded variations by adaptivity in a finite element setting. For automatically generating an adaptive grid, we introduce indicators based on a-posteriori error estimates. Further, we discuss data interpolation methods on unstructured grids in the context of image processing and present a pixel-based interpolation method. The efficiency of our derived adaptive finite element scheme is demonstrated on image inpainting and the task of computing the optical flow in image sequences. In particular, for optical flow estimation, we derive an adaptive finite element coarse-to-fine scheme which... (More)
