Gradient methods are frequently used in large scale image deblurring problems since they avoid the onerous computation of the Hessian matrix of the objective function.

In the quadratic case, this approach is based on a Lanczos process applied every m iterations to the matrix of the gradients computed in the previous m iterations, but the idea can be extended to a general objective function. In this paper we extend this rule to the case of scaled gradient projection methods applied to constrained minimization problems, and we test the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in image deblurring problems in both the presence and the absence of an explicit edge-preserving regularization term.

Abstract

Gradient methods are frequently used in large scale image deblurring problems since they avoid the onerous computation of the Hessian matrix of the objective function. Second order information is typically sought by a clever choice of the steplength parameter defining the descent direction, as in the case of the well-known Barzilai and Borwein rules. In a recent paper, a strategy for the steplength selection approximating the inverse of some eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix has been proposed for gradient methods applied to unconstrained minimization problems. In the quadratic case, this approach is based on a Lanczos process applied every m iterations to the matrix of the gradients computed in the previous m iterations, but the idea can be extended to a general objective function. In this paper we extend this rule to the case of scaled gradient projection methods applied to constrained minimization problems, and we test the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in image deblurring problems in both the presence and the absence of an explicit edge-preserving regularization term.
