Here, we assume that we have given (additionally to the low resolution observation) a reference image which has a similar patch distribution as the ground truth of the reconstruction. This assumption is e.g. fulfilled when working with texture images or material data. Then, the proposed regularizer penalizes the $W_2$-distance of the patch distribution of the reconstruction to the patch distribution of some reference image at different scales. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed regularizer by two- and three-dimensional numerical examples.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.12880v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.12880v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"wasserstein-patch-prior-for-image","repo_url":"https://github.com/johertrich/Wasserstein_Patch_Prior","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
