The Mumford-Shah functional is an influential variational model in image segmentation and restoration. We propose a general formulation of the discrete counterpart of the Mumford-Shah functional, adapted to nonsmooth penalizations. Such nonsmooth penalizations require the design of a new nonconvex algorithmic scheme, that we called SL-PAM, for which convergence guarantees are derived. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method is able to detect sharp contours and to reconstruct piecewise smooth approximations with low computational cost.
