Joint Image Reconstruction and Segmentation Using the Potts Model
We propose a new algorithmic approach to the non-smooth and non-convex Potts
problem (also called piecewise-constant Mumford-Shah problem) for inverse
imaging problems. We derive a suitable splitting into specific subproblems that
can all be solved efficiently. Our method does not require a priori knowledge
on the gray levels nor on the number of segments of the reconstruction.
Further, it avoids anisotropic artifacts such as geometric staircasing. We
demonstrate the suitability of our method for joint image reconstruction and
segmentation. We focus on Radon data, where we in particular consider limited
data situations. For instance, our method is able to recover all segments of
the Shepp-Logan phantom from angular views only. We illustrate the
practical applicability on a real PET dataset. As further applications, we
consider spherical Radon data as well as blurred data
Superiorization and Perturbation Resilience of Algorithms: A Continuously Updated Bibliography
This document presents a, (mostly) chronologically ordered, bibliography of
scientific publications on the superiorization methodology and perturbation
resilience of algorithms which is compiled and continuously updated by us at:
http://math.haifa.ac.il/yair/bib-superiorization-censor.html. Since the
beginings of this topic we try to trace the work that has been published about
it since its inception. To the best of our knowledge this bibliography
represents all available publications on this topic to date, and while the URL
is continuously updated we will revise this document and bring it up to date on
arXiv approximately once a year. Abstracts of the cited works, and some links
and downloadable files of preprints or reprints are available on the above
mentioned Internet page. If you know of a related scientific work in any form

Convolutional Dictionary Regularizers for Tomographic Inversion
There has been a growing interest in the use of data-driven regularizers to
solve inverse problems associated with computational imaging systems. The
convolutional sparse representation model has recently gained attention, driven
by the development of fast algorithms for solving the dictionary learning and
sparse coding problems for sufficiently large images and data sets.
Nevertheless, this model has seen very limited application to tomographic
reconstruction problems. In this paper, we present a model-based tomographic
reconstruction algorithm using a learnt convolutional dictionary as a
regularizer. The key contribution is the use of a data-dependent weighting
scheme for the l1 regularization to construct an effective denoising method
that is integrated into the inversion using the Plug-and-Play reconstruction
framework. Using simulated data sets we demonstrate that our approach can
improve performance over traditional regularizers based on a Markov random
field model and a patch-based sparse representation model for sparse and
limited-view tomographic data sets
