A Generalized Framework for Edge-Preserving and Structure-Preserving Image Smoothing

Generalized Edge-preserving Smoothing for Signal Analysis

Under the generalized smoothing of a signal, a wider class of operations is understood than the plain suppression of noise. We apply this term to all the processing problems which can be interpreted as those of transformation of the original signal, considered as functions of one discrete argument, into a secondary function of another nature on the same carrier, by way of coordinating the local...

Image Fusion with Edge Preserving Smoothing Filter

This paper introduces fast and effective fusing of images through merging of multiple images for creating a highly information fused image .Here the edge preserving smoothing filter is used as guided filter. The fusion criterion is to minimize the different error between the fused image and input image The proposed method is based on two scale decomposition of image into a detail layer capturin...

A Robust Method for Edge-Preserving Image Smoothing

Image smoothing is a critical preprocessing step in many image processing tasks. In this paper, a generalized edge-preserving smoothing model is derived from robust statistics theory, and its connections to anisotropic diffusion and bilateral filtering are established. The relationships allow us to derive an improved numerical scheme in the context of a robust estimation process for edge preser...
