Title
Selective image sharpening by simultaneous nonlinear-diffusion process with spatially varying parameter presetting
Abstract
Previously we have presented a PDE-based method for selective image sharpening. Our method works as the simultaneous nonlinear-diffusion process composed of a nonlinear-diffusion term, a fidelity term and a peaking term, and it sharpens blurred edges while smoothing out noisy variations. However, our method has the problem that it does not satisfactorily sharpen complex image-structures such as T-shaped edges and textures. This paper copes with the problem, and improves selective image sharpening. As the preprocess of our PDE-based method, this paper introduces a step to classify each pixel into two categories on the basis of mid-scale image-features contained in the image-gradient field. The classification results are then utilized to preset the parameters characterizing our PDE-based method spatially varyingly.
