# 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 consists of 2D/3D regularisation modules for single-channel and multi-channel reconstruction problems. The regularisation modules are well-suited to use with [splitting algorithms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_Lagrangian_method#Alternating_direction_method_of_multipliers), such as ADMM and FISTA. Furthermore, the toolkit can be used independently to solve image denoising and inpaiting tasks. The core modules are written in C-OMP and CUDA languages, wrappers for Matlab and Python are provided.**
