Abstract

In this paper, a new enhancing and smoothing partial differential equation coupled with time-delay regularization is presented, which is based on local geometric properties desired for image restoration. To reverse the process of image deterioration, a newly defined shock filter for edge enhancing is combined with a level set motion-based regularization equation. The balance between the backward process and the forward process is carried out by a weighting function coupled with time-delay regularization helping to identify boundary areas and homogeneous regions in a given image. The proposed model is well-posed in terms of viscosity solutions – the existence and uniqueness of periodic viscosity solution to the initial value problem of the equation is established. Numerical results for some kinds of grey-level images are demonstrated to confirm our anticipation.
