A New Nonlocal Nonlinear Diffusion of Image Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel nonlocal nonlinear diffusion is analyzed which has proven useful as a denoising tool in image processing. The equation can be viewed as a new paradigm for the regularization of the well-known Perona-Malik equation. The regularization is implemented via nonlinearity intensity reduction through fractional derivatives. Well-posedness in the weak setting is established. Global existence and convergence to the average holds in the purely diffusive limit whereas an interesting dynamic behavior is engendered by the presence of non trivial equilibria as the intensity of the nonlinearity is increased and comes close to the one of Perona-Malik.

A new well-posed nonlinear nonlocal diffusion
Nonlinear diffusions have successfully been employed to perform a variety of tasks in image processing. In the context of denoising, the Perona-Malik equation is a particularly successful example. In spite of its cherished qualities, it is mathematically ill-posed and has some practical short-comings. In this short paper a new nonlocal nonlinear diffusion is reported upon, which is locally well...
متن کاملAdaptive Nonlocal Filtering: A Fast Alternative to Anisotropic Diffusion for Image Enhancement
Nonlinear anisotropic diffusion algorithms provide significant improvement in image enhancement as compared to linear filters. However, the excessive computational cost of solving nonlinear PDEs precludes their use in real-time vision applications. In the present paper, we show that two orders of magnitude speed improvement is provided by a new image filtering paradigm in which an adaptively de...
متن کاملOn Robust Estimation and Smoothing with Spatial and Tonal Kernels∗
This paper deals with establishing relations between a number of widely-used nonlinear filters for digital image processing. We cover robust statistical estimation with (local) M-estimators, local mode filtering in image or histogram space, bilateral filtering, nonlinear diffusion, and regularisation approaches. Although these methods originate in different mathematical theories, we show that t...
متن کاملA new well-posed nonlocal Perona-Malik type equation
A modification of the Perona-Malik equation is proposed for which the local nonlinear diffusion term is replaced by a nonlocal term of slightly reduced “strength”. The new equation is globally well-posed (in spaces of classical regularity) and possesses desirable properties from the perspective of image processing. It admits characteristic functions as (formally linearly “stable”) stationary so...
متن کاملA Linear Scale-Space Theory for Continuous Nonlocal Evolutions
Most scale-space evolutions are described in terms of partial differential equations. In recent years, however, nonlocal processes have become an important research topic in image analysis. The goal of our paper is to establish well-posedness and scale-space properties for a class of nonlocal evolutions. They are given by linear integro-differential equations with measures. In analogy to Weicke...
