Abstract

In this paper, we present a new image regularization method using a rotating smoothing filter. The novelty of this approach resides in the mixing of ideas coming both from pixel classification which determines roughly if a pixel belongs to a homogenous region or an edge and an anisotropic perceptual edge detector which computes two precise diffusion directions. These directions are used by an anisotropic diffusion scheme. This anisotropic diffusion is accurately controlled near edges and corners, while isotropic diffusion is applied to smooth homogeneous and highly noisy regions. Our results and a comparison with anisotropic diffusion methods applied on a real image show that our model is able to efficiently regularize images and to control the diffusion.
