A generalization of the Perona-Malik anisotropic diffusion method using restricted dissimilarity functions

Abstract: There exists a large number of techniques for content-aware smoothing. Despite its simplicity, the PeronaMalik Anisotropic Diffusion method is among the most employed ones. In this work we study this method in detail and propose a generalization of its diffusion scheme using restricted dissimilarity functions to measure the intensity differences between neighbouring pixels. This generalization permits a better adaptation of the diffusion process to the characteristics of the images.

“…Diffusion, in the context of image processing, involves a physical process that allows intermingling of high‐value and low‐value pixels, without modifying the effective pixel count in the image, until the system equilibrates [28–32]. This is, indeed, a denoising process that suppresses noise and other unwanted artefacts in the image – noisy pixels contain higher values, and diffusion helps to reduce (smooth) them out.…”

“…In this work, we present a generalization of the Perona and Malik anisotropic diffusion method [38] for color images. A previous generalization was presented in [42] for grayscale images using Restricted Dissimilarity Functions (RDF) [43], following a similar strategy to the one in this work.…”

“…Wavelet analysis is a new numerical concept which allows one to represent a function in terms of a set of basis function, called wavelets, which are localized both in location and in scale. Up to now, the finite difference method is the primary numerical algorithm for Perona-Malik model, which can bring artifact into the images due to the nonsmoothness of the basis function of the finite difference method [ 15 , 16 ] as has been said before. The multilevel wavelet numerical method for the nonlinear PDEs has been proposed over ten years, which can take full advantage of the adaptability of the wavelet analysis [ 17 ].…”
