Abstract:
A nonlinear diffusion based image denoising technique is introduced in
this paper. The proposed PDE denoising and restoration scheme is based
on a novel diffusivity function that uses an automatically detected
conductance parameter. A robust mathematical treatment is also provided
for our anisotropic diffusion model. We demonstrate that edge-stopping
function model is properly chosen, explaining the mathematical reasons
behind it. Also, we perform a rigorous mathematical investigation on
of the existence and uniqueness of the solution of our nonlinear
diffusion equation. This PDE-based noise removal approach
outperforms most diffusion-based methods, producing considerably better
smoothing results and providing a much better edge preservation.
