Abstract
A hybrid nonlinear diffusion-based image restoration technique is proposed in this article. The novel compound PDE denoising model combines nonlinear second-order and fourth-order diffusions to achieve a more effective image enhancement. The weak solution of the combined PDE, representing the restored digital image, is determined by developing a robust explicit numerical approximation scheme using the finite-difference method. The performed denoising tests and method comparison are also described in this paper.
