Abstract In actual applications, noises may inevitably exist, and thus to study the denoising method for images is great significant task in image processing filed that attracts much attention in recent years. In this paper, based on the statistical property of Meridian distributed and the Total Variational (TV), a total variational method is proposed for restoring images degraded by alpha-stable noise. Besides, in order to obtain a strictly convex model, a quadratic penalty term is added, which guarantees the uniqueness of the solution. For solving the novel convex variational model, a primal-dual algorithm is employed to solve the above model, and the convergence of the algorithm is proved. The experimental results demonstrate that the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model for the noisy images with alpha-stable noise.
