Plug-and-Play (PnP) methods are a class of efficient iterative methods that aim to combine data fidelity terms and deep denoisers using classical optimization algorithms, such as ISTA or ADMM . Existing provable PnP methods impose heavy restrictions on the denoiser or fidelity function, such as nonexpansiveness or strict convexity. In this work, we propose a provable PnP method that imposes relatively light conditions based on proximal denoisers, and introduce a quasi-Newton step to greatly accelerate convergence. By specially parameterizing the deep denoiser as a gradient step, we further characterize the fixed-points of the quasi-Newton PnP algorithm. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme in applications such as image deblurring, inpainting and superresolution, observing order-of-magnitude acceleration over state-of-the-art PnP algorithms.
