Abstract: It is important in image restoration to remove noise while preserving sharp edges and fine details such as blurred thin edges and low-contrast fine feature. The Perona–Malik (P-M) model is a well-known anisotropic diffusion denoising model, which can effectively remove noise while preserving edges. However, its diffusion coefficient only associates with the gradient of each pixel but not with the local region information; thus, the P-M model is not able to effectively preserve the important details of image. To address this problem, this paper proposes an anisotropic diffusion denoising model based on local entropy. The diffusion coefficient of the new model not only depends on the gradient of image but also on the local region information described by local entropy. On this basis, a coupled anisotropic diffusion scheme is proposed for detail-and edge-preserving smoothing. Experimental results show that the proposed model not only can effectively remove noise while preserving the boundaries better but also can maintain important details in an image very well.
