This paper presents a globally convergent inertial-relaxed hybrid conjugate gradient projection (IRHCGP) method for solving constrained nonlinear equations. The proposed method integrates an inertial-relaxed extrapolation strategy into a hybrid conjugate gradient projection framework. A new hybrid conjugate parameter is constructed to generate an effective search direction, which is proved to satisfy both the sufficient descent condition and a trust-region-type bound. These properties provide the theoretical foundation for establishing the global convergence of the proposed method under mild assumptions. Extensive numerical experiments are conducted on large-scale constrained nonlinear equations with various dimensions and initial points, and the proposed method is further applied to impulse noise image restoration. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is competitive and superior to several existing methods in terms of running time, number of function evaluations, and number of iterations.
