Convolutional sparse representations and convolutional dictionary learning are mathematical models that consist in representing a whole signal or image as a sum of convolutions between dictionary filters and coefficient maps. Unlike the patch-based counterparts, these convolutional forms are receiving an increase attention in multiple image processing tasks, since they do not present the usual patchwise drawbacks such as redundancy, multi-evaluations and non-translational invariant. Particularly, the convolutional dictionary learning (CDL) problem is addressed as an alternating minimization between coefficient update and dictionary update stages. A wide number of different algorithms based on FISTA (Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm), ADMM (Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers) and ADMM consensus frameworks have been proposed to efficiently solve the most expensive s...
