Abstract:

In this report we study the optimization problem least squares minx ∥b − Ax∥ 2 2 with applications to image deblurring. Least squares can be solved directly in four ways: by the normal equation, the pseudoinverse, QR-decomposition and regularization. The theory for these methods are covered in detail. Least squares can be solved iteratively using a gradient descent method. Specifically gradient descent and Polyak heavy ball are covered, with focus on the theory of convergence for these methods. Finally, a direct and an iterative method are compared on a specific example of deblurring, where other ways to deblur are also discussed.
