Abstract
We present a controlled image smoothing and enhancement method based o n a curvature flow interpretation of the geometric heat equation. Comp ared to existing techniques, the model has several distinct advantages . (i) It contains just one enhancement parameter. (ii) The scheme natu rally inherits a stopping criterion from the image; continued applicat ion of the scheme produces no further change. (iii) The method is one of the fastest possible schemes based on a curvature-controlled approa ch.
