It based on a direct minimization of an energy functional containing a minimal surface regularizer that uses fractional gradient. The minimization is obtained on every predefined patch of the image independently. By doing so we avoid the use of an artificial time PDE model with its inherent problems of finding optimal stopping time as well as the optimal time step. Moreover we control the level of image smoothing on each patch and thus on the whole image by adapting the Lagrange multiplier using the information on the level of discontinuities on a particular patch which we obtain by pre-processing. In order to reduce the average number of vectors in the approximation generator and still to obtain the minimal degradation we combine a Ritz variational method for the actual minimization on a patch and a complementary fractional variational principle. Thus the proposed method becomes computationally feasible and applicable for practical purposes. We confirm our claims with experimental results by comparing the proposed method with a couple of PDE-based methods where we get significantly better denoising results specially on the oscillatory regions.
