Detailed Description
template<class TImage>
class itk::CurvatureNDAnisotropicDiffusionFunction< TImage >
This class implements a variation on the classic, Perona-Malik anisotropic image diffusion equation as described in itkGradientNDAnisotropicDiffusionFunction. This object is a level-set analog of that equation and will be referred to below as the modified curvature diffusion equation (MCDE). MCDE does not exhibit the edge enhancing properties of classic anisotropic diffusion, which can under certain conditions undergo a ``negative'' diffusion,which enhances the contrast of edges. Equations of the form of MCDE always undergo positive diffusion, with the conductance term only varying the strength of that diffusion.
- Qualitatively, MCDE compares well with other non-linear diffusion techniques. It is less sensitive to contrast than classic Perona-Malik style diffusion, and preserves finer detailed structures in images. There is a potential speed trade-off for using this function in place of itkGradientNDAnisotropicDiffusionFunction. Each iteration of the solution takes roughly twice as long. Fewer iterations, however, may be required to reach an acceptable solution.
- The MCDE equation is given as:
![\[ f_t = \mid \nabla f \mid \nabla \cdot c( \mid \nabla f \mid ) \frac{ \nabla f }{ \mid \nabla f \mid } \]](form_96.png)
,
- where the conductance modified curvature term is
![\[ \nabla \cdot \frac{\nabla f}{\mid \nabla f \mid} \]](form_97.png)
.
