Automatic Image Decompostion

The decomposition of an image into its primitive components, such as cartoon plus texture, is a fundamental problem in image processing. In [11, 16], the authors proposed a technique to achieve this decomposition into structure and texture. These two components are competing ones, and their proposed model has a critical parameter that controls this decomposition. In this paper we show how to automatically select this parameter, and demonstrate with examples the importance of this optimal selection.
