Plug-and-play (PnP) method is a recent paradigm for image regularization, where the proximal operator (associated with some given regularizer) in an iterative algorithm is replaced with a powerful denoiser.

We argue that the original proof is incomplete, since convergence is not analyzed for one of the three possible cases outlined in the paper.

In plug-and-play image restoration, the regularization is performed using powerful denoisers such as nonlocal means (NLM) or BM3D.

In the classical bilateral filter, a fixed Gaussian range kernel is used along with a spatial kernel for edge-preserving smoothing.

Unlike existing approaches, where the focus is on approximating the data (using quantization) or the filter kernel (via analytic expansions), we locally approximate the kernel using weighted and shifted copies of a Gaussian, where the weights and shifts are inferred from the data.

To bypass this, the authors proposed a separable approximation in which the image rows and columns are filtered using lifting.

Different scenarios of cross-modal matching are possible, for example, data from the different modalities can be associated with a single label or multiple labels, and in addition may or may not have one-to-one correspondence.

In Non-Local Means (NLM), each pixel is denoised by performing a weighted averaging of its neighboring pixels, where the weights are computed using image patches.

In this paper, we consider a natural extension of the edge-preserving bilateral filter for vector-valued images.

A direct implementation of the Gaussian bilateral filter requires $O(\sigma_s^2)$ operations per pixel, where $\sigma_s$ is the standard deviation of the spatial Gaussian.

The bilateral filter is a non-linear filter that uses a range filter along with a spatial filter to perform edge-preserving smoothing of images.

By controlling the cardinality of the Fourier basis, we can obtain a good tradeoff between the run-time and the filtering accuracy.

A widely-used form of the filter is the Gaussian bilateral filter in which both the spatial and range kernels are Gaussian.

Moreover, the denoising performance of the optimally-weighted bilateral filter is competitive with the computation-intensive non-local means filter.

The Euclidean Median (EM) of a set of points $\Omega$ in an Euclidean space is the point x minimizing the (weighted) sum of the Euclidean distances of x to the points in $\Omega$.

We empirically demonstrate that (a) unlike the spectral relaxation, the relaxation gap is mostly zero for the semidefinite program (i. e., we are able to solve the original non-convex least-squares problem) up to a certain noise threshold, and (b) the semidefinite program performs significantly better than spectral and manifold-optimization methods, particularly at large noise levels.
