    Illustration



    The following codes can be used for academic research only:

    MATLAB function: ARPENOS.m v1.2

    Example script and images: ARPENOS_example.m; mandril_gray.tif; boat.png
    Needs symmetrically padded convolution: sym_conv2.m

    Description of the Total Variation minimization postprocessing: note_TVmin.pdf

    Additional experiments (canvas pattern removal in paintings): canvas.m.
