Fast PDE-Based Image Analysis in Your Pocket

The increasing computing power of modern smartphones opens the door for interesting mobile image analysis applications. In this paper, we explore the arising possibilities but also discuss remaining challenges by implementing linear and nonlinear diffusion filters as well as basic variational optic flow approaches on a modern Android smartphone. To achieve low runtimes, we present a fast method...
