Bilateral Filtering and Anisotropic Diffusion: Towards a Unified Viewpoint
نویسنده
چکیده
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 single iteration. Despite the difference in implementation, both methods are designed to prevent averaging across edges while smoothing an image. Their similarity suggests they can somehow be linked. Using a generalized representation for the intensity, we show that both can be related to adaptive smoothing. As a consequence, we also show that bilateral filtering can be applied to denoise and coherence-enhance degraded images with approaches similar to anisotropic diffusion.

This paper proposes a new hybrid method based on Homomorphic filtering and anisotropicdiffusion equations for image denoising. In this method, the Homomorphic filtering extracts the reflectionand illumination components of a noisy image. Then a suitable image denoising method based onanisotropic diffusion is applied to each components with its special user-defined parameters .This hybridscheme ...
متن کاملLevel set based Volumetric Anisotropic Diffusion for 3D Image Filtering
We present an anisotropic diffusion model for volumetric image filtering. Our 3D anisotropic diffusion tensor is constructed to enhance 1D features (curves) and 2D features(surfaces). Bilateral prefiltering is employed to construct more accurate anisotropic diffusion tensor. An efficient parallel implementation has been done on a PC cluster, the performance and speed-up are reported also.
متن کاملRecursive Implementation of Anisotropic Filters
Gaussian filter is widely used for image smoothing but it is well known that this type of filters blur the image features (e.g., edges). Two extensions of Gaussian filters will be discussed in this survey. One is the anisotropic filtering (bilateral filtering or PDE-based anisotropic diffusion) for feature-preserving smoothing and the other is the recursive implementation of various filters tha...
