Curvelet Regularized Nonlinear Anisotropic Diffusion

In this paper, two models for curvelet-regularized nonlinear diffusion are proposed for discontinuity-preserving denoising, using a new tight frame of curvelets and a nonlinear diffusion scheme. Numerical experiments show their good performance to recover the shape of edges and some important detailed components of the image while we use less iterations, in comparison to traditional methods.
