Abstract = {Let Ω be an open subset of ℝn, where 2 < n < 7; we assume
n > 2 because the case n = 1 has been treated elsewhere (see
[S. S. Alliney, IEEE Trans. Signal Process., 40 (1992), pp.
1548-1562] and is quite different from the case n > 1; we
assume n ≤ 7 because we will make use of the regularity
theory for area minimizing hypersurfaces. Let ℱ(Ω.) = {f
∈ L1 (Ω)∩lL∞(Ω) : f ≥ 0} Suppose s ∈ ℱ(Ω) and
γ : ℝ → [0, ∞) is locally Lipschitzian, positive on
ℝ ∼ {0}, and zero at zero. Let F(f) = ∫Ω γ(f(x) -
s(x)) dℒn x for f ∈ ℱ(Ω); here ℒn is Lebesgue
measure on ℝn. Note that F(f) = 0 if and only if f(x)
-s(x) for ℒn almost all x ∈ ℝn. In the denoising
literature F would be called a fidelity in that it measures
deviation from s, which could be a noisy grayscale image.
Let ε > 0 and let F ε(f) = εTV(f) + F(f) for f ∈
ℱ(Ω); here TV(f) is the total variation of f. A minimizer
of Fε is called a total variation regularization of s.
Rudin, Osher, and Fatemi and Chan and Esedoglu have studied
total variation regularizations where γ(y) = y 2 and γ(y)
= |y|, y ∈ ℝ, respectively. As these and other examples
show, the geometry of a total variation regularization is
quite sensitive to changes in γ. Let f be a total variation
regularization of s. The first main result of this paper is
that the reduced boundaries of the sets {f > y}, 0 < y <
∞, are embedded C1, μ hypersurfaces for any μ ∈ (0,1)
where n > 2 and any μ ∈ (0,1] where n = 2; moreover, the
generalized mean curvature of the sets {f ≥ y} will be
bounded in terms of y, ε and the magnitude of |s| near the
point in question. In fact, this result holds for a more
general class of fidelities than those described above. A
second result gives precise curvature information about the
reduced boundary of {f > y} in regions where s is smooth,
provided F is convex. This curvature information will allow
us to construct a number of interesting examples of total
variation regularizations in this and in a subsequent paper.
In addition, a number of other theorems about
regularizations are proved. © 2007 Society for Industrial
