Detailed Documentation
In this text, Perona and Malik proposed an anisotropic diffusion equation based on the heat conduction equation and applied it to scale-space image smoothing in image processing. This model improves image quality by applying different processing characteristics to edge and non-edge regions of images. Compared to traditional filtering methods, the model's iterative solving scheme is computationally straightforward, overcoming primary limitations of conventional approaches. Consequently, it opens new avenues for image edge detection and enhancement while substantially improving image quality. The algorithm can be implemented through gradient magnitude calculations to control diffusion rates and iterative updates using discrete approximations of partial differential equations.
