Spatially adaptive PDEs for robust image sharpening

We present here discrete and continuous partial differential equation (PDE) -based methods for image enhancement/ sharpening. Using more robust and spatially adaptive PDEs, multiscale morphological operators that account image features are introduced, and then, used to provide a discrete enhancement operator, thanks to the former Kramer and Bruckner filter. A novel PDE associated to the introduced enhancement operator is established in 2D. Both the discrete and PDE-based sharpening filters are illustrated on synthetic, binary and real images.
