Natural images are typically a composition of cartoon and texture structures. One common task is to separate such an image into two single images, one containing the cartoon part and the other containing the texture part. Recently, a powerful class of algorithms using sparse approximation and l1 minimization has been introduced to resolve this problem, and numerous inspiring empirical results h...

In this work the development and deployment of a new concept of cartoon-generation on a mobile phone is presented. An interactive multimedia application was designed for a push-approach of sending short e-cartoons from a mobile phone to a central WEB server. The concept of a unique cartoon-generator will be discussed. The multimedia Authoring Environment Flash was used for the interactive appli...

This paper is devoted to a recent topic in image analysis: the decomposition of an image into a cartoon or geometric part, and an oscillatory or texture part. Here, we propose a practical solution to the (BV,G) model proposed by Y. Meyer . We impose that the cartoon is a function of bounded variation, while the texture is represented as the Laplacian of some function whose gradient belongs to L...
