Image Denoising via Nonlinear Hybrid Diffusion

الملخص EN

A nonlinear anisotropic hybrid diffusion equation is discussed for image denoising, which is a combination of mean curvature smoothing and Gaussian heat diffusion.

First, we propose a new edge detection indicator, that is, the diffusivity function.

Based on this diffusivity function, the new diffusion is nonlinear anisotropic and forward-backward.

Unlike the Perona-Malik (PM) diffusion, the new forward-backward diffusion is adjustable and under control.

Then, the existence, uniqueness, and long-time behavior of the new regularization equation of the model are established.

Finally, using the explicit difference scheme (PM scheme) and implicit difference scheme (AOS scheme), we do numerical experiments for different images, respectively.

Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the new model with respect to other known models.
