// $N$-dimensional version of the classic Perona-Malik anisotropic diffusion
// equation for scalar-valued images \cite{Perona1990}.
//
// The conductance term for this implementation is chosen as a function of
// the gradient magnitude of the image at each point, reducing the strength
// of diffusion at edge pixels.
//
//
// C(\mathbf{x}) = e^{-(\frac{\parallel \nabla U(\mathbf{x})
// \parallel}{K})^2}
//
// The numerical implementation of this equation is similar to that described
// in the Perona-Malik paper \cite{Perona1990}, but uses a more robust
// technique for gradient magnitude estimation and has been generalized to
// $N$-dimensions.
