Fourth-order partial differential equations for image enhancement (Q2369170)

The authors propose a method for noise removal which based on a combination of a model by \textit{F. Catté, P.-L. Lions, J.-M. Morel} and \textit{T. Coll} [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 29, No.~1, 182--193 (1992; Zbl 0746.65091)] with fourth-order terms. They prove the correctness of the proposed model and show that it is numerically superior to that of \textit{P. Perona} and \textit{J. Malik} [Scale space and edge detection using anisotropic diffusion, IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. 12, 629--639 (1990)] Catté et al. [loc. cit.], and \textit{T. Chan, A. Marquina} and \textit{P. Mulet} [Second order differential functionals in total variation-based image restoration. (to appear)].
