A Convex Constraint Variational Method for Restoring Blurred Images in the Presence of Alpha-Stable Noises

Blurred image restoration poses a great challenge under the non-Gaussian noise environments in various communication systems. In order to restore images from blur and alpha-stable noise while also preserving their edges, this paper proposes a variational method to restore the blurred images with alpha-stable noises based on the property of the meridian distribution and the total variation (TV). Since the variational model is non-convex, it cannot guarantee a global optimal solution. To overcome this drawback, we also incorporate an additional penalty term into the deblurring and denoising model and propose a strictly convex variational method. Due to the convexity of our model, the primal-dual algorithm is adopted to solve this convex variational problem. Our simulation results validate the proposed method
