Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel approach for reconstruction of images with additive Gaussian noise. In order to solve this inverse problem we use backward stochastic differential equations. Model of the image reconstruction is driven by two stochastic processes. One process has values in domain of the image, and second one in codomain. Appropriate construction of these processes leads to smoothing (anisotropic diffusion) and enhancing filters. Our numerical experiments show that the new algorithm gives very good results and compares favourably with classical Perona-Malik method.
