A Laplace transform method for the image in-painting

There are many image processing techniques based on partial differential equations that perform well, but they consume much computational time. It´s vital that rapid and efficient ways of solving these equations are developed. Use of the Laplace transforms permits solution to the time dependent problems in a parallel environment. The solution procedure requires numerical computation of an inverse Laplace transform of which the Stehfest method was examined in the tests. We investigated the performance and efficiency of using the Laplace transform technique for the solution of a mathematical model related to image in-painting and compared the results with temporal integration.
