Adaptive Coupled PDE System for Image Restoration
Embedded Files
Abstract:
We consider a coupled system of partial differential equations (PDEs) based model for image restoration. Both the image and the edge variables are incorporated by coupling them into two different PDEs. It is shown that the initial-boundary value problem has global in time dissipative solutions (in a sense going back to P.-L. Lions), and several properties of these solutions are established. Some numerical examples are given to highlight the denoising nature of the proposed model along with some comparison results.

Note that the scheme with diffusion based PDEs naturally leads to a u0 = u + v + w model, where u - smooth part, v - edge part and w - noise/texture part, we provide the following example to illustrate it. See related publication (TBA) below and corresponding Project page (TBA) for more details.

Edges (v)
