# CCPi-Regularisation Toolkit (CCPi-RGL)

**Iterative image reconstruction (IIR) methods normally require regularisation to stabilise the convergence and make the reconstruction problem more well-posed. 
CCPi-RGL software consist of 2D/3D regularisation modules for single-channel and multi-channel reconstruction problems. The regularisation modules are well-suited for 
[splitting algorithms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_Lagrangian_method#Alternating_direction_method_of_multipliers), of ADMM or FISTA type. Furthermore, 
the toolkit can be used independently to solve image denoising problems. The core modules are written in C-OMP and CUDA languages and wrappers for Matlab and Python are provided.**

## Prerequisites: 

 * [MATLAB](www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/) OR
 * Python (tested ver. 3.5); Cython
 * C compilers
 * nvcc (CUDA SDK) compilers

## Package modules (regularisers):

### Single-channel
1. Rudin-Osher-Fatemi (ROF) Total Variation (explicit PDE minimisation scheme) **2D/3D CPU/GPU** (Ref. *1*)
2. Fast-Gradient-Projection (FGP) Total Variation **2D/3D CPU/GPU** (Ref. *2*)
3. Split-Bregman (SB) Total Variation **2D/3D CPU/GPU** (Ref. *4*)
4. Linear and nonlinear diffusion (explicit PDE minimisation scheme) **2D/3D CPU/GPU** (Ref. *6*)

### Multi-channel
1. Fast-Gradient-Projection (FGP) Directional Total Variation **2D/3D CPU/GPU** (Ref. *3,2*)
2. Total Nuclear Variation (TNV) penalty **2D+channels CPU** (Ref. *5*)
