On the application of the forward and backward diffusion scheme for image enhancement
Bogdan Smołka · Journal of Medical Informatics & Technologies · 2002
In this paper a novel approach to the problem of edge preserving smoothing is proposed and evaluated. The new algorithm is based on the combined forward and backward anisotropic diffusion with incorporated time dependent cooling process. This method is able to efficiently remove image noise, while preserving and enhancing its edges.
