AbstractÐIn this paper, the relationship between bilateral filtering and anisotropic diffusion is examined. The bilateral filtering approach represents a large class of nonlinear digital image filters. We first explore the connection between anisotropic diffusion and adaptive smoothing, and then the connection between adaptive smoothing and bilateral filtering. Previously, adaptive smoothing was considered an inconsistent approximation to the nonlinear diffusion equation. We extend adaptive smoothing to make it consistent, thus enabling a unified viewpoint that relates between nonlinear digital image filters and the nonlinear diffusion equation.

A common framework for nonlinear diffusion, adaptive smoothing, bilateral filtering and mean shift
In this paper, a common framework is outlined for nonlinear diffusion, adaptive smoothing, bilateral filtering and mean shift procedure. Previously, the relationship between bilateral filtering and the nonlinear diffusion equation was explored by using a consistent adaptive smoothing formulation. However, both nonlinear diffusion and adaptive smoothing were treated as local processes applying a...

It has proved that nonlinear diffusion and bilateral filtering (BF) have a closed connection. Early effort and contribution are to find a generalized representation to link them by using adaptive filtering. In this paper a new further relationship between nonlinear diffusion and bilateral filtering is explored which pays more attention to numerical calculus. We give a fresh idea that bilateral ...

bilateral filtering, anisotropic diffusion, adaptive smoothing, denoising Bilateral filtering has recently been proposed as a noniterative alternative to anisotropic diffusion. In both these approaches, images are smoothed while edges are preserved. Unlike anisotropic diffusion, bilateral filtering does not involve the solution of partial differential equations and can be implemented in a singl...
متن کاملImage Smoothing and Edge Detection by Nonlinear Diffusion and Bilateral Filter
In this paper we propose a new image smoothing and edge detection technique that employs a combination of nonlinear diffusion and bilateral filtering. The model is based upon two very well established methodologies in the image processing community, which makes the method easy to understand and implement. Our numerical experiments show that the proposed model is capable of achieving more accura...
