Abstract

We propose a discrete regularization framework on weighted graphs of arbitrary topology, which leads to a family of nonlinear filters, such as the bilateral filter or the TV digital filter. This framework, which minimizes a loss function plus a regularization term, is parameterized by a weight function defined as a similarity measure. It is applicable to several problems in image processing, data analysis and classification. We apply this framework to the image smoothing and segmentation problems.
