Abstract
The restoration of images corrupted by blurring and multiplicative noise is a challenging problem in applied mathematics that has attracted much attention in recent years. In this article, we propose a two-step approach to solve the problem of restoring images degraded by multiplicative noise and blurring, where the multiplicative noise is first reduced by nonlocal filters and then a convex variational model is adopted to obtain the final restored images. The variational model of the second step is composed of an $L_1$-$L_2$ data-fidelity term and a total variation regularization term. The alternating direction method (ADM) is utilized to solve this variational problem, and we also prove that the ADM algorithm converges at least linearly. Experimental results show that the proposed two-step approach performs better than the existing methods for restoring images with multiplicative noise and blurring, both in the quality of the restored images and the convergence speed of the algorithms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
