Continuous level anisotropic diffusion for noise removal

摘要

This paper presents a new approach to anisotropic diffusion and noise removal. Several functionals are introduced to a variational model. The diffusion behavior is governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation. A dynamic threshold function plays an important role in the continuous level anisotropic diffusion and a related optimization problem is presented. The noise can be removed while the edge well preserved. Multi-level noise or multi-level edge can be handled automatically. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are verified by several numerical experiments.
