Zheng Feng, Huang Chengwei, Ji Zhang · The Open Mechanical Engineering Journal · 2014

The edges and textures of a digital image may be destroyed by traditional denoising methods, which is a difficult problem in image denoising. In this paper, anisotropic diffusion algorithm based on Partial differential equation is studied. First, image denoising algorithms based on Perona-Malik model are studied. Second, a modified Perona-Malik model is proposed. In the proposed model, the gradient statistic and edge thresholds are embedded into the Perona-Malik equation. Finally, the effects of this model and some other models are compared and analyzed. The experimental results show that the proposed modified Perona-Malik model outperforms the original Perona-Malik model in removing Gaussian noise, and the edges and textures of the image are well preserved.
