Abstract :
A new angiogram image enhancement algorithm based on anisotropic diffusion is proposed. This novel method can adaptively choose the conductance parameter, which has great significance on the whole diffusion. Experimental results show that this new method is more effective compared with the original anisotropic diffusion.
