However, the traditional GSR model and all subsequent improved GSR models convert the RGB space of the image to YCbCr space, and only extract the Y (luminance) channel of YCbCr space to change the color image to a gray image for processing. As a result, the image processing process cannot be loyal to each color channel, so the repair effect is not ideal. A new group sparse representation model based on multi-color channels is proposed in this paper. The model processes R, G and B color channels simultaneously when processing color images rather than processing a single color channel and then combining the results of different channels. The proposed multi-color-channels-based GSR model is compared with state-of-the-art methods. The experimental contrast results show that the proposed model is an effective method and can obtain good results in terms of objective quantitative metrics and subjective visual effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a15060176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]],"date-time":"2022-05-24T22:04:06Z","timestamp":1653429846000},"page":"176","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Multi-Color Channels Based Group Sparse Model for Image Restoration"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yanfen","family":"Kong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering, Weihai Ocean Vocational College, Rongcheng 264300, China"}]},{"given":"Caiyue","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Qufu Normal University, Qufu 273165, China"}]},{"given":"Chuanyong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering, Weihai Ocean Vocational College, Rongcheng 264300, China"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Qufu Normal University, Qufu 273165, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2409-4852","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chongbo","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering, Weihai Ocean Vocational College, Rongcheng 264300, China"},{"name":"School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Qufu Normal University, Qufu 273165, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Buades, A., Coll, B., and Morel, J.M.
