Perona–Malik Model with a New Diffusion Coefficient for Image Denoising

Abstract

This paper presents a new diffusion coefficient which is based on second order derivative and local entropy information for image denoising. In the proposed model, a second order derivative term is introduced, which reduces the staircasing effect and preserves edge in a processed image. The local entropy information can preserve texture. The Perona–Malik model with a new diffusion coefficient improves the denoised effects, and prevents edges from being over-smoothed. Comparative experiments show that the proposed model obtains more satisfied results than the other two existing models.
