We propose an edge-preserving filtering method with a novel use of the L 0 gradient. Our method, termed as the L 0 gradient projection, is formulated as the minimization of a quadratic data-fidelity to an input image subject to the constraint that the L 0 gradient, the number of non-zero gradients,...
