  • Image Processing: (An)isotrop diffusion filtering of images (Java GUI, C++ program) -> download
    This software package contains an implementation of specific denoising algorithms as developed by Joachim Weickert. The algorithm provides a method to denoise an image without destroying important features such as edges. The idea is to use the image as an initial value for a parabolic differential equation. Then, the smoothing properties of parabolic equations give rise to denoising. To preserve edges, nonlinear diffusion is used, that is, in regions with strong gradients (edges) the diffusivity is attenuated. Several diffusion functions are implemented. Diffusion may take place in regions of the picture with low local differences (isotropic). An advanced feature is the anisotropic diffusion. Here a local gradient is considered and diffusion in this and the orthogal direction may be specified. This allows denoising also in areas with high gradients.
    Download includes: executables (Linux/Mac/Windows), documentation of the tool, report about usage of different diffusion functions, report about choice of parameters (all documentation in german language)
